Facial flushing - help

Can't help with the makeup as I never wear any, but staying hydrated & cool, taking deep breathes, relaxation exercises and CBT can all help with reducing the tendency to blush. Also, I've found I blush less now that I accept it happens and it doesn't matter - stopping being concerned about it has reduced the tension that made it more likely to happen.

Thank you!

Will look into some relaxation exercises.

I get this too! Somebody recommended antihistamine, and I took some for events in the build up where I would usually go red and it did seem to help. However, completely forgot to on the wedding day with so much going on. And honestly, I went the slightest bit red at a particularly embarrassing point in my father's speech, but other than that there was not a trace of my flushed face and neck, not even walking down the aisle (and I was very nervous!). And I do usually suffer quite badly.

So I would suggest perhaps trying antihistamine, but also try not to worry too much as I think you'll be surprised about what adrenaline does to your body on your wedding day (I also didn't need pee from when I put my dress on at midday until I took it off at 1am despite LOTS of fluid - probably TMI but also goes to show that your body reacts in crazy ways on your wedding day!).

All the best x

Thanks! That's true, I probably am overthinking it a bit and on the day it could be completely fine. Now I think about it my sister gets facial flushing and I didn't see any redness on her wedding day. Fingers crossed!
