Facial blushing for many people is not a serious problem; they blush when they get embarrassed or when the “spot light” is on them. This is normal when blushing in these situations.

When people have a problem with blushing it seems to take a real hold of them, when they start to blush it seems to trigger more blushing and they find it even harder and harder to stop creating a vicious cycle.

What causes your face to go red when you blush is the blood vessels in your face swell when you have one or more self conscious thoughts.

Two of the most common emotions that trigger blushing is people besides embarrassment and shyness is anxiety and the fear of being judged, this causes the body to go into stress. A common denominator in people who have a problem with blushing is they usually have a low self esteem or lack confidence.

A good way to cure blushing and attack it at the core of the problem is to build your self esteem and confidence. So what is confidence and self esteem? is it basically the level to which you like your self.

While many people don’t like to admit they don’t like them selves and say they have a high level of self esteem, a good way to gauge it is to listen and observe your self talk. We all talk to yourselves everyday, some people bet them selves up saying “why did i do that” “I am so stupid”, etc if this is the case you need to stop this and start seeing the positive.

Confidence is a little different from self esteem as it is more related to competence. You may have heard a saying fake it till you make it. With confidence sometimes this is what you need to do, build it up slowly ans steady.

Think about when you first started to learn math. If someone showed you the times tables before you knew how to add and subtract you might not have felt confident about doing the times tables but over after doing many add and subtraction equations and then learning about the times tables you became more confident.

This is how self confidence is built, you start off with small tasks and move up to bigger one, this is how you can stop your blushing too.
