Blushing and Low Confidence – How to Stop Blushing


Why do people blush? Is it something they can control? People blush because it is caused by their natural mindset, which tells them that a particular event is embarrassing.

Blushing is something that is difficult to control, especially if you have many other problems related to yourself. Here are some tried and tested methods on how to stop blushing.

1) Relax. Tension increases blush The moment you feel yourself starting to blush, instantly relax all the muscles in your body. You can’t completely control your face turning all tomato, but relaxing will help reduce it.

2) Accept it. While a conversation is taking place, you blush, make little of it, if at all. Just say “I blush easily” and wipe it off, and the chance of someone making fun of you will be much less.

3) Don’t feel embarrassed about blushing, you don’t have to be. Admit it and let it go. He builds confidence and tells himself it’s no big deal, and it most likely isn’t.

4) If speaking in public makes you blush, think about how others see you. Most likely, they will see you as a brave and confident person, just because you stood up to speak up. So there’s nothing shameful about that, right? There really is nothing to blush about.

5) Apply a thin film of oil-free moisturizer to face. This will keep your skin cool if it burns when you blush. Don’t try to cover the blush with makeup, that just doesn’t work. To cover the redness, you’ll probably need half a container of blush, which will be overkill.

6) Try to stay near an air conditioner when you are in social gatherings. Cooling air tends to decrease redness. Also, if you keep a damp washcloth (even baby wipes will work), you can wipe your face with it as soon as you feel yourself getting flushed.

7) Interact with people more often. Since blushing is a sure sign of less confidence, improving your self-confidence will go a long way toward developing an immunity to blushing.

8) Don’t give up, keep practicing. Nothing is easy and giving up because you can’t do it will never solve your problem. Stop being too hard on yourself, because breaking habits is not an easy thing to do.
