Q. My face looks red even when I am not exposed to bright sun. Why?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. There might be many reasons for turning your skin red while going outside. Most common reasons may include that your skin is very sensitive and whenever you go outside your skin is not able to tolerate the external heat and produces heat stress to your skin and skin turns red. To avoid this condition drink lots of water and keep your skin hydrated. This will help you to avoid this problem up to some extent.

During the daytime, it might be due to UV (ultraviolet) rays of the sun. It does not matter whether it is a sunny day or cloudy day the UV rays reach the earth and have effects on your skin. This might be one of the reasons behind red skin. So apply sunscreen lotion while going outside whether it is sun or clouds. You can choose any sunscreen lotion of any reputed brand. Apply half an hour ago while going outside. If only sensitive skin is the reason behind your redness then you can also apply aloe vera gel twice a day. It is very helpful for sensitive skin and helps a lot with your problem. If it is stress or anxiety induced redness then try to keep calm your mind and body and sleep adequately. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, it will help to keep hour skin hydrated and healthy.

Redness can be mild, moderate or severe. If it is in mild form and does not causing you any other harm then, try all these and you will see very positive results very soon. But sometimes it might be due to some hormonal problem or some other underlying problem. In that case you need to visit a nearby dermatologist for treatment.

I hope this helps.
