How Can I Prevent Wedding-Day Blushing?

Whenever there are more than 20 people staring at me, I begin to splotch. First it’s an uneven rash, then it becomes a full flush of fire red. I heard there’s a pill for blushing. Will it keep me from looking like I’m about to pop?

Blushing the way you do only adds insult to injury what’s already an embarrassing moment is highlighted by the splotches consuming your face like the blob that ate Manhattan. Doctors call this normal occurrence phasomotor instability. ”Blushing tends to happen to people with fair skin. If your parents blush, you probably tend to, also When you get nervous, the nerves cause more blood to flow to the face.”

Doctors sometimes prescribe certain low-blood-pressure pills, but their side effects (dizziness, fatigue) can be brutal, especially on your wedding day. Your veil will only do so much to hide your royal flush, so to keep your crimson hue at bay, avoid things that trigger it. Always use sunscreen (at least SPF 15) if you must catch a few rays. And steer clear of hot beverages, alcohol and spicy foods. All of these cause blood vessels to constrict, which can heighten your vermilion shade. But if all else fails, remember: there’s nothing more charming than a blushing bride.
