legislatorgov 0 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hi, Just had spicy food at some chinese hot pot place. It may be because of the hot steam or the spicy food, but my face is all red. what should I do?

Prettyface 0 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hmmm :-k .....depends on if its a chemical or humidity factor making your face red. If its chemical, try to avoid what's triggering the reaction and cut back on any harsh face wash or medicine ( use natural, botanical stuff for a bit). If its humidity that's making you a tomato, try splashing problem areas with cold water and/or get out your ice pack. Good luck. [-o< Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crazycat 0 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I break into a sweat whenever I eat spicy food, so I always ask for the mild dishes. If you eat something spicy, as the previous respondent said, splash your face with water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sixofnine 1 Share Posted September 1, 2003 You might have rosacea. One of the triggers is spicy foods. Do a google search on it. Alcohol, spicy foods, excess proteins are some of the triggers. Very similar to acne from an ayurvedic perspective. www.curezone.com has some really good info. do a search there to learn more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Image101 0 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Spicy foods make my lips a bit swollen after eating them, but I think that's pretty common. I wouldn't worry about it too much, spicy foods can make you sweat which would probably make your fice a bit red. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
