There's an article that addresses this issue. I'm not sure about the severity of your case, but if it's related to social phobia, then this advice may help:\n\n"Research shows that counseling by a mental health professional using a technique called cognitive-behavioral therapy often helps people with blushing and social phobias. The therapist helps you confront emotional situations that trigger blushing and develop a realistic appraisal of the effects of your blushing on others. Once you overcome some of the anxiety that triggers the blushing, its frequency and intensity will decrease, allowing you to function more comfortably in previously threatening situations."

try this; start with spell checker when writing! A step towards slowing down. Then tell yourself at least 2x a day, "what I have to say is more important than how fast I say it. I find most people who talk too fast are afraid that others won't listen to what they say or feel others talk too much for them to get a chance to say something. Consentrate on having something worthwhile to say. Try practising in the mirror each day. Then try reading into a recorder & play back until it sounds right. Do these things until you get the results you want & you notice people listen to what you say & most of all understand what you say. You can do it. Believe it!

Slow down and don't say the first thing that pops into your head.  Think before you speak and think before you act.  Learn about and talk about serious matters.

I know you're not supposed to, but pop it and then put some toothpaste on it before bed. It probably won't be gone, but it will be better than whitish green! Dab on a little (emphasis on a little) concealer before your date. Have fun!!

Think about being efficient.  Everytime you feel yourself getting excited about a topic and wanting to elaborate, hold off.  This may mean trying to limit your responses to 5 or six pleasant, well- planned words.  Try not to use adjectives- those can get on people's nerves.\nYou can contact a therapist or like it has been noted, a speech pathologist.  Those can be expensive- just try your friends and family, I'm sure they know about your chatty habit and all probably have a few opinions on how you can slow down.  Just like smoking, it will be a hard thing to quit, but you can do it!  And you will probably LOVE the results.

What Is  Facial Blushing? \n\nBlushing results from an increase in superficial facial blood volume: blood vessels in the skin dilate, and red blood cells color the skin red. The area of skin that can blush is usually restricted to the face, ears, and neck, and in rare cases, the upper body. This dilation of the blood vessels is involuntary. Stress can increase the activity in the autonomic nervous system. Blushing appears to be an involuntary sympathetic nervous system response. \n\nBlushing starts at three years of age. At that age we become aware that others can observe us. Most people, however, do not remember blushing before the age of five. Normally, the intensity and frequency of blushing peaks in teenage years and decreases with age. However, even very old people can blush, and the amount of blushing varies greatly between individuals.

oh gal! u could use some home-made pastes. for example mix little cream, turmeric powder and saffron. apply it and leave for some time. then wash with warm water. then immediatly rub an ice cube over u'r face lightly. the next day take little honey an put in some lime juice, a little tomato too. lightly scrub it over u'r face. wash it over. u could do this alternately. it would improve the texture of u'r face and even remove u'r whiteheads. don't use makeup instead scrub a beetroot piece lightly to give that blush on ya cheeks. hope u don't get sad anymore.

Hold your breath for the right amount of time - too little and you become pink, too long and you become blue. It's a fine art that takes years to master. Good luck.

stay cool . for a change YOU start the conversation , like ' may i sit down ? ' instead of waiting for them to tell you to , wear a smile and make sure what you're wearing fits well , suits the occasion and see to it that your hair lies flat . it works wonders . trust me .

Blushing is a unique blend of evolutionary and social behavior. It's an involuntary reaction of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for our "fight or flight" response, but blushing is solely triggered by social cues. \nPeople generally blush when they're feeling embarrassed, scared, or stressed. As a result of the "fight or flight" response, the capillaries that carry blood to the skin widen, and the increased blood flow lends the face, as well as sometimes the chest, neck, or even the body or legs, a reddened color. \n\nExcessive facial blushing, or erythrophobia, is caused by overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. The condition can cause a lot of psychological duress and has engendered several support groups. \n\nIt's common knowledge that animals don't blush. So while there are some evolutionary cues behind blushing, it's also linked to something uniquely human -- moral consciousness. \n\nHope that helps x
