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 start to blush, instantly relax every muscle in your body. You can’t completely control your face going all tomato, but relaxing will help reduce it.
2) Accept it. While a conversation is going on, you blush, make light of it, if at all. Just say “I blush easily” and wipe it off, and you’ll be much less likely to be made fun of by someone.
3) Don’t be 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 public speaking makes you blush, think about how others see you. They will most likely see you as a brave and confident person, just because you stood up to speak. 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 up the redness, you’ll probably need half a bottle of blush, which is 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 a blush.
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.
