How come my face is always redder than the rest of my body?

It sounds like rosacea. The skin on your face is more sensitive than the skin on the rest of your body and it is exposed to more chemicals, sun, extreme temperatures, allergens and stress. The ointment you are applying to your face might be aggravating the redness, but natural things like spicy foods, your face blushing/flushing or exercise can irritate it too.  It is common in fair skinned people and often hereditary.\n\nA dermatologist can give you some meds to treat the redness. If you're buying acne medicine off the shelf, there's even a chance that the acne you're experiencing isn't acne but papules (or symptoms of the rosacea). Either way, the dermatologist will give you calming and healing lotions/ointments that wont irritate your skin.  Often they recommend lotions that are blue in color because the blue takes the reddish edge off your complexion.\n\nGood luck!

Maybe you have sensitive skin. Be sure to always use a new razor, but in your case it will probably still irritate the skin. I would suggest letting it grow out and then prepare for pain...waxing! The results will last for weeks and hopefully you won't be red under the arm for more than a few hours.

Because all of the blood goes to the head. You can notice too that when people are embarrased, their face is hot and red too.

Because this way your cheeks are evenly red.  It would be like putting on blush on one cheek only if you didn't.  It equals your coloring out.

Capillaries are involved in the body's release of excess heat. During exercise your body and blood temperature rises. To help release this excess heat, the blood delivers the heat to the capillaries which then rapidly release it to the tissue. The result is that your skin takes on a flushed, red appearance. If you hold your hand, for example, under hot water, your hand will quickly turn red for the same reason. Your arm, however, is not likely to change color because it is not actually feeling an increase in temperature.\n\nSo, when your face gets red exercising, it means it is recieving lots of healthy blood flow, bringing nutrients to your skin and carrying away toxins.  I have no idea if these work, but I've heard taking pepcid AC and using asthma inhalers might help.  Talk to a dermatologist or doctor if you want to try to alleviate it.

The redness problem really will not have a solution other than maybe tanning a little to reduce the contrast of your light skin color compared to the redness when you blush.\n\nFor the sweating, get the antiperspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the anti-perspirant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I go to the gym and my shirt gets soaked except for under the arms. That is how well it works.\n\nIf the Certain Dri does not work or you want to try some other things below is a link to a number of other anti-perspirant solutions.\n\nhttp://p069.ezboard.com/fetsandreversalsfrm13.showMessage?topicID=72.topic

Yes, it could be a skin infection, called cellulitis. Apart from the redness, does it feel warmer to touch than the normal areas of your skin, and do you have a temperature?

Dr Claire Weeks (author of "Peace From Nervous Suffering") says, "a blush is caused by the nerves controlling the blood vessels in our face and neck becoming so startled by emotion - fear, anger, shame - that they suddenly release their grip and blood floods into the vessels." Trying NOT to blush makes it that much worse!

Sleep and lots of it. Our body needs to regenerate itself for the loss of energy. Studies shown that with proper rest, one can have healthier, glowing skin.\nAs for the second part of your question, it could be stress related. Learn to manage it by organizing your time & managing it better, allow yourself space to breathe.\nSeek help from a dermatologist if condition worsens. Keep face clean and dry. Avoid contact with dirty fingernails. Drink plenty of water.\nWe face worry no matter what the age. It's a fact of life. There're no shortcuts about it but to face it head on. Weigh your problems equally & learn to prioritise your "to-do list."\nHope this helped.

Hi,\nI am 54 years old and my body is not in the greatest shape but my face is better than most of my friends.  I am a firm believer that women do too much to their faces.  We wash and cream and makeup our skin to death.  It is constantly being pulled, rubbed, patted, touched, and therefore with all that action plus the fact that women have more fat cells, our faces end up looking wrinkled, sagging and old before our time.  My best advice is to wash your face in the morning, barely touching it, rinse and pat dry and apply a face cream that will absorb into your skin and keep it moist.  That's it.  At night, wash it off and apply cream again.  Once a week I wash my face with a handcloth that is rough to renew the skin, then I apply face cream again and I'm done.  When sleeping at night, sleep on your back, not on the side of your face.  Put an extra pillow under your knees to keep them in a bent position so they don't stiffen up nor apply pressure on the back.  Also, your neck was meant to hold up your head.  So quit using your hands!!  If you constantly lean your chin/cheek on your hands, you are pulling your skin and stretching it.  Sit up straight and hold your head up.  If you do get tired, lean the edge of your scalp against your hand, but don't touch your face!  Wish you the best.

Blood is NEVER blue... Your veins are gray, with red blood within, it appears blue.\n\nYour face loses color due to the lack of hemoglobin, which is present in blood.\n\nThree things determine pigment.\n\nKeratin-Yellows\nMelanin-Browns\nHemoglobin-Reds\n\nEveryone has all three of these pigments present in their skin, when a light-skinned person deprives an area of oxygenated bloodflow, the red tint is removed due to the lack of hemoglobin.\n\nHope this helps!

Unless you are dehydrated it is probably hereditary.  Some people just don't have as much of a fatty pad under their eyes as others.  I had sunken areas too.  Went to a cosmetic surgeon and had fat removed from my abdomen and injected underneath my eyes.  Nice improvement (and people no longer tell me I look "tired".)

FLUSHING\n\nWhat is flushing?\n\nFlushing Is a temporary redness of the face and neck caused by dilation of the blood capillaries.  Flushing is due to a variety of causes such as certain chemotherapy drugs.  Carcinoid tumors can also cause flushing as part of carcinoid syndrome.  Other causes are alcohol and other drugs and allergic reactions.
