Are your cheeks red even though you don’t wear blush?

Experts say: Red alert. A permanent flush is a warning  that you skin is weakening, says US dermatologist Jeanine B. Downie. “In some cases, it’s hereditary, but it typically results from either sun exposure or stress, both of which thin the skin, making wrinkles and blothes more visible,” she explains.

Face saver: Besides staying out of the sun, try to avoid things that exacerbate redness-spicy food, alcohol, and hot caffeinated drinks. Combat stress with exercise, and drink ice water during and after to help you cool down faster. once a week, apply a soothing and calming mask, like The Face Shop Flebeaute Colagenic Collagen Treatment Ampoule mask, Php1,550. If you still have bright cheeks, talk to your derma about intense pulse light treatments, which zap blood vessels to reduce redness. (Most Sessions coast at least Php 3,000)
