"My cheeks always seem to be red, even when I'm not blushing or exercising. How can I fix it?"

Joanna, 15, San Jose, CA

Rosy cheeks are only fun when there's flirtation involved! If you want to just cover the redness, use a green-tinted concealer, which neutralizes redness and helps create an even skin tone (try Physicians Formula Gentle Cover Cream Concealer in Cover Green, $6, drugstores). Dot the concealer over your flushed areas and blend before putting on the rest of your makeup. However, if the redness never goes away or seems to be worsening over time, you may have a condition called rosacea. In that case, make an appointment with a dermatologist. He or she can prescribe medication to help control the symptoms and get you back to blushing for fun!
