How to Cure Red Cheeks

Illnesses associated with red cheeks are the virus-based fifth disease, also known as "slapped cheeks," and Rosacea, which causes visible blood vessels, bumps or pimples on the face and sometimes a red, lobulated nose. Antibiotics often bring some relief and reduce inflammation. Red cheeks may also be the body's negative reaction to changes in the system such as acne, allergic reaction, sunburn, hormone fluctuations, excess anger and high blood pressure. There are some very easy things you can do to tame your redness to a healthy pink.

Instructions

• 1

  Keep your face clean by washing it at least five times a day. Skin hygiene is key to reducing redness due to acne caused by excess skin oil, and it helps to cool the face if you are having a reaction to allergies or hormone imbalances in the body.

• 2

  Drink plenty of water to keep the body temperature low and to irrigate the system. At least half of your beverages should be water, four 8-ounce glasses.

• 3

  Meditate or take time out to relax. Give yourself quiet time to listen to your body. If you get red in the face often, it may be a sign that the body is reacting to something in a negative way.

• 4

  Stay away from hot and spicy foods. If your face is turning red, you have an abundance of heat in the body. Do not add spice to the fire. Eliminate coffee and alcohol consumption, which raise blood pressure.

• 5

  Apply a face cream containing vitamin K every day. You can also get vitamin K in your diet. Sources for vitamin K in the diet include spinach, brussels sprouts, chard, green beans, kale and mustard greens. Vitamin K helps the blood clot normally and prevents calcification of arteries.
