Cold Weather Flushing

These flushing flare ups result from coming in from the cold into a warm room. While the acne sufferer is outside in the cold weather the cardiovascular system is pumping hard, however, the extremities such as the feet, hands, ears, and nose get less blood supply than the rest of the body. It's partially due to direct contact, but it is more a result of conservation of heat by internal thermostat -- causing constriction of vessels by decrease sympathetic activity to vessels (similar to taking a 'cool' shower). When the acne sufferer enters the warm office or home, the warmer temperatures quickly warm the facial skin areas and extremities while the cardiovascular system is still in a moderately high exercise mode. The acne sufferer should try to minimize the extreme cold exposure by warming up the car prior to use or wearing a facial mask/hat/scarf depending on length of exposure and severity of cold temperatures. After being exposed to the cold for a long period, try to enter the building slowly so the cardiovascular system will not be as stimulated, and then proceed slowly into the warmer office/home to minimize flushing.
