It’s true: Flushed faces are seen as more healthy looking, say scientists.In a recent study, having rosy cheeks was found to denote health and hormones. Blushing, the researchers note, was also shown to be a major characteristic of sexual attraction.
Experts at the University of St. Andrews measured how the tiny blood vessels under the skin carry oxygenated blood to skin cells. The process nourishes skin cells and allows the body to release heat during exercise. People who are physically fit or have higher levels of sex hormones have more of these blood vessels and blush more easily than people who are unhealthy, unfit, elderly or who smoke, researchers said.
So, if you want to look healthier - get active. Exercise increases blood circulation which will contribute to a healthy glow.
