Glossary Facial Flushing

temporary reddening of facial skin due to increased blood flow

Facial flushing, also known as face redness or blushing, is the temporary reddening of the skin on the face, often due to increased blood flow. This can be triggered by various factors such as emotional responses (e.g., embarrassment or anger), physical exertion, temperature changes, alcohol consumption, or certain medical conditions like rosacea or menopause. It involves the dilation of blood vessels in the skin, leading to a noticeable red or pink hue.
