I normally devote this entire blog to talking about ways to stop blushing, but let’s face it, once we stop blushing we want people to look at our beautiful faces. One of the best ways I know to feel confident and proud about about the face I show is to take good care of my skin. Many of the blushing diet tips I provide elsewhere on this blog will also help  you to have beautiful skin. That’s great for inside, but what about the outside?

I had to find the hard way that washing my face too much is as bad as too little. That’s great, but what about when I want to freshen up have to abuse my skin with soap. Well, I just found an awesome new product that can take care of that anywhere I go. Essential Wipes are an awesome way to get your face clean while moisturizing it at the same time. The best part is, they clean you face with all natural essential oils and NO OTHER ADDITIVES! You can tell I love them. They come in a convenient travel tube.

How to Avoid Blushing

October 16th, 2011 by admin

I just came accross this article on WikiHow and I want to share with you. There seems to be an explosion of information on the internet about how to stop blushing. I guess the word is finally getting out that it’s possible to cure blushing. Here is the basic idea of the article. There are six main things that you can do to stop blushing.

  1. Identify what situations make you blush and realize that there is no reason you have to blush when these things occur.
  2. If you start to blush, relax your shoulders and neck and smile.
  3. Stop caring about it. Most people think that blushing is cute, and modern research actually show that blushing is a sign of trustworthiness.
  4. Don’t try to hide it. This is actually related to number three. Not trying to hide your red face is the start of not caring whether you blush or not, which is the start of not blushing. :)
  5. Imagine jumping in a freezing pond. Mind over matter is the key to improving anything in or physiology, and imagination is the missing link. Have fun with this. Get caught up in the details and you might find you forgot to blush.
  6. Getting some intense physical exercise before entering situations that might cause blushing gives you a natural healthy glow that obscures any blushing that might occur. It also calms anxiety, which is part of the blushing reactivity circitry.
Remember, don’t take any of this too seriously. Life is supposed to be fun, even the hard parts.

Social Anxiety and Blushing

August 10th, 2011 by admin

Social Anxiety

Look, I’m gonna be honest. My social anxiety is almost gone now because most of it was caused by blushing, and thankfully I’ve found a blushing cure. All the same, I spent more time than I care to admit working to cure my spontaneous facial flushing. And in all that research, I came across one thing – social anxiety causes blushing. It doesn’t matter whether you are talking about public speaking or the quintessential blushing bride the uncomfortable facial redness in social settings that exemplifies excessive facial blushing is most often caused by some form of social anxiety.

Now I’ve heard it said that you can’t cure anxiety, but I know from personal experience that it is possible to reduce negative feelings and reduce anxiety with hypnosis. I’m not talking about a slick salesman on a stage with a pocket watch that he swings back and forth. I’m talking about effective treatments that reprogram your subconscious mind. Hypnosis was part of the strategy that I learned to stop the negative feelings that were causing my facial flushing.

Social anxiety has two parts. The first part is your body’s chemistry. Blushing is common among people with social anxiety because the chemistry of anxious people is the same chemistry that causes blushing. In fact, problem blushing is only a different way to the same result as people who are blushing naturally. When is blushing an issue? When it causes you stress because you become self conscious about your perceived blushing problem. If you’re like me, you probably don’t want to hear that you don’t need blushing treatments, or a blushing cure, because your blushing is adorable and there’s no way you have a blushing problem. Well some people go the easy route and opt for anti anxiety or antidepressant medication.

Can you stop blushing with anti anxiety or antidepressant medication? How’s this for an answer? Maybe. If you’re blushing is due to anxiety taking drugs like Xanax will help your anxiety and in turn reduce your blushing. There is a cost though. Drugs like Xanax help people feel relaxed in social settings. They can help people deal with huge stressors like public speaking and negative feelings about themselves. They can even help someone achieve the holy grail, to stop blushing. I say that to stop blushing is the holy grail, because as soon as I did I couldn’t wait to go back to all of the social settings that had made me uncomfortable before. So what’s the catch? The catch is that anti anxiety drugs are extremely addictive. Go ahead. Check out Xanax addiction on Google . The trouble is that you always need more. There is a better way to stop blushing.

In a lot of ways your brain is like a big computer, and it can be reprogrammed. Did you know a lot of the greatest public speakers of all time were terrified about public speaking until they able to reprogram their brains to calm down. You might be wondering what public speaking has to do with blushing. Well firstly, most people blush at least a little bit when they have to do public speaking. Why? Well mostly because it’s terrifying. Blushing is controlled by the part of our nervous system that causes us to run from danger and fight our enemies. While blushing naturally is perfectly normal, excessive blushing is caused by an over activity of this part of our nervous system. Since this system is controlled by the brain, it is possible to change its set point like a thermostat and stop blushing.

So how do we reprogram this computer we call our brains to eliminate the constant menace of a flushed face? Honestly to stop blushing you most likely need to do a variety of things, but the most important is reprogramming your subconscious mind. It is your subconscious that modulates the set point on your blushing thermostat. If it’s set too low, you’ll spend half your life with a flushed face. The most common technique to change your subconscious set point is hypnosis. Have you ever noticed that when you’re anxious there is a little voice in your head making you more anxious, saying things like “everyone is looking at your flushed face, maybe you should leave the party.’ That is the voice of your subconscious, and whether it is a flushed face or an accidental party foul, a poorly programmed subconscious can turn even a little faux pas into a big deal.

Alright my flushed face friend. I’ve got a couple of links throughout this site to an awesome program that I used to stop blushing. Over the next couple of months I’m gonna add some of the insights I’ve learned in this process, including techniques to reprogram your subconcsious. If you don’t want to wait, and you want to get it all from the expert that taught me to stop blushing, then check out this site.

Stop Blushing Now

The number one question people have been emailing me is “How can I stop blushing now?” Everyone who writes me is inspired by my story and they are super-eager to end their blushing problems. Believe me, I get it. I’ve been through it. My blushing was so embarrassing for me that it was turning me into a home body, killing my dating life and keeping me from asking my boss for a raise I deserved. To be fair, I can’t  blame all of this on blushing. A lot of it had to do with how embarrassed I was about it. Regardless, being blush free has made my life so much better that I want to tell everyone about.  In this post I’m gonna give you some super helpful tips that I’ve learned, plus a short explanation of the program I used to finally end my problem.

Click here to see the program I used to end my blushing

Alright. Here are my first two tips for you.

  1. Be patient – If you’re anything like I was, you’ve had this problem for awhile. You’re on the right track looking for solutions, but don’t expect a quick fix. I’ll explain later a bit about what actually causes blushing. For now let’s just say that excessive blushing is caused by the body being stuck in a bad habit. Habits take a while to change. This brings us to tip number two.
  2. Be persistent – Once you learn the techniques you need to stop blushing, practice them. I know, we all want a magic pill that will fix the problem instantly so that we can quickly forget we ever had it. It’s actually fortunate that this isn’t the way it works. Why? Well the techniques you use to teach yourself to stop blushing have more benefits. You’ll find yourself to be calmer and more confident in all sorts of situations. Now isn’t that worth a bit of patience and persistence?

What Causes Excessive Blushing?

Hey, I’m a college student not a doctor, but at this point I know more about this topic than the doctors I went to for help. Here are the basics.  The first thing to understand is that our faces were designed to blush. We have more small blood vessels in the skin of our face than other parts of our body. When these vessels fill with blood the result is blushing. So the natural question I asked is “what causes these vessels to fill with blood?” Sceintists have done some pretty crazy studies to explore their different theories and this what they’ve discovered. Blushing is triggered by our flight or fight response. Pretty much all animals have the flight or fight mechanism. Because people live in a social system, we often find ourselves in a situation where we want to run away (like when you may have felt super embarrassed), or where we want to fight, but we can’t. If we hit everyone that made us angry or ran away every time we felt embarrassed, we wouldn’t do very well in life. It seems that when we suppress our desire to run or fight our face turns red. While this happens to everyone, some people are way more sensitive. Do you know anyone like this? :)

Well, what makes some people more sensitive? Great question. I’m glad you asked.

  1. Genetics - We are all born with a different blueprint. Some of us are just born more sensitive. This is what my doctor told me. It’s true, but thankfully only part of the story. While we can’t change our genetics, those of us born more sensitive can fix the problem by focusing on the other causes.
  2. Environmental Irritants - The foods we eat and the medicines we take can make us a lot more sensitive than we already are. Just for example, coffee and spicy foods are irritants for a lot of people. Just cutting these out helps a lot of people reduce the number of excessive blushing episodes they experience. Changing you diet usually isn’t enough for most people though.
  3. Psychology - You ever notice how some people can be in a totally stressful situation and remain as cool as a cucumber, while other people are totally freaking out? Do you think those people have a problem with blushing? Nope. This is the most important tip of all. You can train your mind to stay totally calm in situations that now cause you a bunch of anxiety and stress. Once you don’t feel that a situation is stressful, it doesn’t trigger your body’s flight our fight response. And guess what – NO BLUSHING!

The Program I Used To Stop Blushing

After searching far and wide, I found Stop Blushing… Start Living! This program encouraged me to be brave and change. It educated me about my problem. And, it gave me the tools to fix it. Today and I can proudly say “I am free of excessive blushing.” Maybe you’d like to imagine for a moment what would it feel like to say that yourself.  Go ahead, say it to yourself…

How does it feel? I thought so. There is a link to the program’s website below. When you click it you’ll find videos and testimonials about people like me, and hopefully soon people like you.

Ending Excessive Blushing

May 30th, 2011 by Sara

According to Wikipedia, blushing is a normal human expression of emotion. I would agree with this definition for most people, and now even for myself. It hasn’t always been like this for me though.

Click here to see the technique I used to cure my blushing.

I spent most of my life as an excessive blusher. What do I mean when I say excessive blushing? Well, I used to blush all the time, everyday. I would blush when I was in a group of friends and everyone would look at me to hear what I had to say. I would even blush when they called out my name because my order was ready at Jamba Juice.

Sometimes I’d start blushing just anticipating attention. One time I had a crazy blushing episode driving to school just because I had to give a presentation that day. I was by myself. Crazy huh?

I’d blush mostly out of embarrassment. Guess what the number one thing was that I was embarrassed about. Did you guess blushing? That’s rediculous right? It sure didn’t seem ridiculous to me. It was horrible.

The worst part was, I was told by my doctor that there was nothing I could do. My friends tried to assure me that it was not a big deal, but I didn’t feel that way at all. I found myself avoiding social situations where I thought I might be put on the spot. I was becoming a reluctant hermit. Thank God that didn’t last.

On one of my lonely Friday nights, home alone, I was surfing the internet and discovered the Stop Blushing… Start Living program. I figured I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. So I went for it.

The program is awesome. It addresses excessive blushing from all angles. I learned how my internal dialog, eating habits, and even fashion choices affect my blushing. While gaining all that knowledge was definitely cool, I wouldn’t be writing this right now if I hadn’t gained something way more important – a cure for my excessive blushing.

I literally learned to reprogram myself to reduce my social anxiety. I learned how to channel all that nervous energy into exciting conversation instead of a big blushing blood rush to my face. I tell you what, there is no looking back.

If you have suffered like me, do yourself a favor and take a look at the program that cured my blushing.

How I Learned to Stop Blushing

May 29th, 2011 by Sara

I want to share with you my experience with this horrible problem, and how I eventually learned to overcome it.

Click here to see how I finally overcame my problem.

If you’re reading this, then you probably know how devastating a blushing problem can be. In my case, the problem seemed to grow from a little thing when I was a child, to a big problem by college. In fact when I was a little kid my aunt and uncle thought it was adorable that I would turn red whenever they put me on the spot.

It wasn’t until elementary school that I began to get self-conscious about my blushing. It was in elementary school that the teasing began. My mother told me that the other kids were just jealous because I was more expressive than them. Nice try mom. As you probably already know, once you’re self-conscious about your blushing it only gets worse. Well I don’t want to bore you with all the details of my torment, but suffice to say that by college my blushing was affecting my social life and my academics.

As a kid I had begged my mom to take to the doctor so he could “fix me”. The doctor told me that blushing is normal. I knew better. If it was normal, why wasn’t everyone else blushing all the time?

At college, one of the greatest skills I’ve learned is research. One day it dawned on me – Why don’t I do a bit of research on blushing and see if I can find a cure. I read all about the physiology and psychology of blushing. It was pretty interesting, but then again, I am a bit of  a dork. Anyway, I couldn’t find anything on how to cure blushing. Well, not at first anyway.

One day while surfing the web, I stumble across a site that literally changed my life. There I found some background information about my problem. (Much more than I had in my previous searches.) Most importantly, I found the techniques that I used to treat my blushing. I took a little bit of practice and a couple of dietary changes, but I’ll tell you what. If I blush these days there is a darn good reason.
