Our faces have a particularly high capacity of blood supply, which is why we go particularly red there. Women are particularly prone to red face because they tend to sweat less and shunt more blood to the skin, whereas men rely more on sweat to keep cool. Of course, some women — and men — go brighter red than others, which Professor Newton says comes down to variation in individuals' cooling systems, as well as skin tone. Weights sessions tend to lead to short bursts of red-face because blood pressure increases and sends blood to the face temporarily.

Instead, use these expert-backed tips to give your skin some relief. Splash or spray your face with cold water during a workout.

Use a cold compress and moisturizer after a workout. Aside from extra hair ties and deodorant , consider packing a washcloth in your workout bag.
Your skin will thank you for it. Soloman says. Use a cleansing wipe. The next time you're shopping, make a quick stop by the skin care aisle to pick up a pack of cleansing wipes. I loved this little trick after my not-too-intense New York Pilates workout.
