A young woman blushing and covering her face. Blushing is the reddening of a person's face due to psychological reasons. It is normally involuntary and triggered by emotional stress, such as that associated with embarrassment, anger, or romantic stimulation.
Although flushing is similar to blushing, flushing typically refers to a more pronounced redness of the face than blushing. In most cases, flushing occurs as a normal body response to physical circumstances, including exercise, hot temperatures, or consumption of alcohol or spicy foods. A variety of emotional states, such as anger, sexual arousal, or embarrassment, can also cause flushing. Flushing can also occur as a result of hormonal changes in the menopausal transition, often accompanied by hot flashes, and in pregnancy.
