Blushing and fake tan question...

This is almost my first post on S&B because I am about the lowest low maintenance person you could ever meet. However...

I seem to have developed a problem with blushing recently. I have no idea what causes it, it is often in social situations (usually very ordinary ones that involve simple conversation with people I know well) but also I quite randomly start to burn up on occasion, eg last night I was out for dinner and it happened, I wasn't overheating or eating anything spicy, only slowly sipping one glass of white wine, anyway it was embarrassing, I felt like everyone was staring at me as I went from my usual pale skin to pink to red to flaming red. Plus it's uncomfortable.

(The only thing I wonder about is that it might be hormonal, I have endometriosis, not sure if it's possible the two are connected.)

Anyway the point of posting here is to ask, could getting a fake (spray) tan be the answer to my troubles? It is never something I'd normally do, also I would never do it myself at home (incapable). I just thought that maybe having an aritifically darker skin tone could disguise the worst of the blushing thing which shows up so acutely because I am pale.

Follow on questions are: how long do spray tans last, how much are they, can I go swimming with a spray tan or would it leave a brown trail behind me in the water, etc?

Sounds like Rosacea triggered by the wine.

Bare Minerals Bisque concealor is what you need!
