How to make your face rosy

A rosy complexion refers to a face that is glowing with red light, but some people think that being called a rosy complexion is very bad. Although there is nothing wrong with the face, a rosy complexion does make people look very greasy. If you want to make your face look rosy but without the symptom of a rosy complexion, you can use some methods to regulate Qi and blood, and the balance will naturally make your face look rosy.

These blushes are okay

Physiological blushing

Acupuncture expert Luo Hongyu believes that everyone has a different physique. Some people are prone to blushing, and their faces turn red when they are slightly active. People who are prone to blushing often have a red and yellow face that turns red from the inside out. This is a sign of sufficient qi and blood. People often praise these people for their "rosy faces", which is a sign of health.

From the perspective of Western medicine, dermatologist Xie Fangming believes that some people have better peripheral blood circulation, and their complexion becomes rosy when they move a little, which is also a sign of health. Some people live in plateaus, where the body needs more red blood cells to carry oxygen, causing blushing, which is also normal. In addition, some people blush due to shyness, anxiety, anger, nervousness, etc. These are psychological blushes caused by changes in emotions.

Are people who don’t blush easily less healthy than those who blush easily? Luo Hongyu said that this cannot be generalized. Everyone has different physical constitutions. Those who do not blush easily even after exercise or when they are nervous are also very healthy as long as they do not turn blue in the face.

Blushing after taking medicine

Taking some medications can also cause blushing. Pharmacist Song Jiansheng introduced that taking drugs such as nifedipine and nicardipine may dilate the capillaries on the face while dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure, causing some blushing. This is a normal reaction and does not have much impact on health.

These blushes hide dangers

There are many reasons for blushing, such as cervical vertebrae displacement, stimulation of the sympathetic nerves leading to dilation of facial blood vessels; afternoon hot flashes caused by yin deficiency; living in areas with strong ultraviolet rays can also cause plateau erythema, etc. No matter what the reason for blushing, if someone who doesn't blush easily suddenly blushes, it may be that there is a problem with the body's function, so you should be alert.

Blushing reminds you not to drink

Blushing is a sign that you should not drink alcohol. People who blush after drinking should not continue drinking, regardless of whether they are drunk or not. Why? According to Li Nanzhong, director of the Department of Endocrinology, many Asians' skin on their faces and bodies turns red after drinking. This is the result of the accumulation of acetaldehyde produced by alcohol metabolism in the body. Alcohol is broken down into various substances in the human body by various enzymes. If a certain enzyme is lacking or insufficient, it will easily decompose and produce acetaldehyde. If acetaldehyde accumulates in large quantities, it will cause blushing easily. Acetaldehyde is harmful to the body, so if your face turns red after drinking, it is a reminder for you to stop drinking, otherwise it will cause more acetaldehyde to accumulate in your body and cause greater harm.

Possibly menopause

Some middle-aged women in their 40s find themselves blushing uncontrollably and can't figure out why. Director of the Department of Gynecology Bai Hua reminds that if middle-aged women blush, it may be the time of menopause.

Menopausal flushing often presents with paroxysmal flushing and hot flashes over a period of time, with sudden heat sensation in the chest, neck and face, sometimes accompanied by headaches, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms. Sometimes it gets worse at night and even affects sleep and daytime work.

Women at this time may also experience blood pressure fluctuations, mainly increased systolic blood pressure (high blood pressure), which will return to normal after a few hours. This phenomenon is most obvious 1 to 2 years before menopause, and the symptoms gradually decrease or disappear after one year. Middle-aged women who experience this may wish to see a doctor and supplement estrogen or take other treatments under the doctor's guidance to relieve the symptoms.

Beware of high blood pressure

People with high blood pressure may also experience abnormal blushing. Why? Huang Liwu, director of the Department of Neurology, said that people with hypertension have an enlarged heart, myocardial hypertrophy, and increased myocardial contractility, which can cause the blood vessels in the head and face to dilate and become congested, leading to a red face.

Therefore, some hypertensive patients often have red faces. In addition, Luo Hongyu also believes that if a person suddenly develops dark red on both cheekbones, it may be a precursor to heart disease; if the face is redder and the pulse is weak, it may be caused by high blood pressure.
