Blushing often occurs when you're feeling shy or stressed, causing the sympathetic nervous system to expand blood vessels in your face. When the blood flow increases, your face will be red, leading to a blush. We feel more embarrassed every time we blush. Luckily, there are many ways you can stop blushing.

   Ready. Blushing can happen at the most inappropriate times, such as when you're giving a presentation or having an important conversation. If you feel confident and ready, there is a lesser chance that you may not speak fluently and lead to blushing. Make sure you are ready for the big event and that you are prepared to face any possible situation.
   • For example, when preparing for an important presentation, there are many things you can use to make sure things are done. The key to success lies in how you organize things. You need to prepare sufficient supporting materials (notes, audio-visual media, etc.). Besides, don't forget that - there is a day in iron grinding. Practice giving the presentation as many times as possible to make you feel comfortable with the presentation.

When you are confident, you will easily avoid awkward situations.
   • Dating is a good example of a casual social situation that can cause you to blush. To avoid the worst, relax before starting your appointment.

   Make up. This is a good reason to go right to the nearest shopping mall. Using cosmetics is one of the easiest ways to cover up the blush. Try using a primer to make sure you have smooth makeup.
