Rosey Posey Pudding and Yes I'm Alright.

Dear Readers, does your face get beet-red when you exercise or drink or do sex? Does the redness turn into knobby bumps? Well then you probably have Rosacea and I'm sorry, you may be in for a lifetime of sadness. But if you just get really red-faced when you work out, like me, Too Much Teeth would like you to take comfort. It's not all bad. Sure, you probably have memories of gym class ridicule, of teachers, friends and, as you get older, strangers asking "are you alright?" All the while you feel just fine. You just have a tomato mug that won't go away, sometimes for an hour+.

Why? When you work out, your body produces heat. To keep from overheating, your body 1) sweats and 2) increases blood circulation to the skin's surfaces so the heat radiates off. Your red face is just cause your warm, oxygenated, healthy blood is movin on up (like the Jeffersons), bringing nutrients to your skin and carrying away toxins. Unlike your pale-faced counterparts, you are basically getting a facial. So, embrace your bloody cheeks; they're just another way that your body says, "I love you."
