How Can I
Prevent Wedding-Day Blushing?
Whenever there are more than 20 people
staring at me, I begin to splotch. First its an uneven
rash, then it becomes a full flush of fire red. I heard theres
a pill for blushing. Will it keep me from looking like Im
about to pop?
Blushing the way you do only adds insult to injury whats
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: theres
nothing more charming than a blushing bride.
