All cheeks can look beautiful, but for many people a pair of soft, supple and rosy cheeks is a symbol of youth and beauty. Although there's not much you can do to change your inborn cheeks, there are a few tips and tricks that can help make your cheeks slightly rosy and give off a natural glow. Use this simple method to increase the blush on your cheeks!
Step
Method 1 of 4: Using Home Remedies
Step 1. Use bits
Don't want to waste your hard-earned money on expensive cosmetics? You may already have the ingredients you need in your kitchen or, worst of all, you have to go to the convenience store. For example, beets, which are widely sold in large supermarkets, contain a strong red pigment. In fact, in early history, beets were used as a dye. Carefully rubbing the cheeks with the beetroot can give a soft rosy hue. However, be careful not to apply too much of this strong dye.
- Be careful when using beets as the natural dyes can stain the fabric.
- To remove beetroot polish from your cheeks, rub them in with a slice of lemon.
Step 2. Add grape or pomegranate juice to the face scrub for color
Mixing a little red fruit juice (such as grape or pomegranate) into your daily scrub or facial lotion is an easy way to add a light “red” color to your products. In addition, fruit juices usually smell good. Add a little juice, no more than a teaspoon. Using too much juice can make the scrub too runny, making your face feel sticky after it dries.
Step 3. Apply vegetable oil to give your cheeks a healthy glow
A light, non-greasy vegetable oil has long been used to give skin an attractive, healthy glow. In fact, the ancient Romans used olive oil as a lotion to make skin look healthy after bathing. You can get the same effect today by rubbing a little vegetable oil on your cheeks. The natural shimmer due to the oil will result in a naturally beautiful cheek skin look. Below are some oils that are usually safe to use for this purpose:
- Grapeseed oil
- Olive oil
- Sunflower oil
- Avocado seed oil
-
Notes:
If your skin is prone to breakouts, you need to be careful with this method as some very sticky oils can clog pores and cause breakouts.
Step 4. Use a rose petal scrub
If you want to pamper yourself, consider using a rose petal scrub on your cheeks. The natural pigment of the rose will help give color to your cheeks and, if you use scented rose petals, you will get a natural scented effect.
To make a rose petal scrub, mix about cup of virgin coconut oil (or one of the oils above), and about 20 drops of rose essential oil if you have one. Mix all the ingredients together, adding the ground rose petals to the mixture (a mortar and pestle or a food processor can help here). Gently rub the mixture on your cheeks after showering, then rinse and pat dry
Method 2 of 4: Having Reddish Cheeks with Cosmetic Aid
Step 1. Apply just a light blush to give off a soft glow
It is undeniable, sometimes the cheek is not cooperative. If you're having trouble getting rosy cheeks with the tips above, try applying a little blush to enhance the blush! Start by applying blush lightly. Remember, you can always add more blush if you need to. It's even more inconvenient if you have to clean the blush and start over if you've already applied too much blush.
- There is no one type of cosmetic that is considered the most "right" to use. Cosmetics that work well for one person may not work the same for another. However, if you are not experienced with using cosmetics, you can start with a soft pink blush that can be tinted with gold or peach if you prefer. These colors are choices that are generally considered “safe” because they can complement almost any skin tone.

Step 2. Apply a bit of blush to highlight the cheeks
The thicker the blush, the more pronounced the “reddish-cheek” effect it produces. If you're not satisfied with how your cheeks look after you've applied the first polish and want to make your cheeks stand out more, you can add more blush, but be careful not to apply too much blush.
As a general rule, fair skinned people should be careful when applying blush because pale skin makes makeup stand out and it's easy to apply too much blush (though there are many exceptions to this rule)
Step 3. Apply a thick enough blush for a bold effect
Applying a fairly thick blush is sure to make your cheeks look rosy, but if you don't balance it with other makeup and your clothes, your natural beauty will be compromised. Too much blush will give an unnatural, doll-like look, especially for very fair skinned people.
Method 3 of 4: Get Reddish Cheeks Naturally
Step 1. Exfoliate
Many beauty magazines recommend exfoliating your face regularly to maintain a rosy hue on your cheeks. The reason is that exfoliating helps get rid of dead skin cells that can make your face look “dull” and pale.
- Use an exfoliating cream or scrub (preferably with a moisturizer) to clean your face every morning.
- If you don't have any such cream or scrub, don't worry. Make an exfoliating cream or scrub by mixing olive oil and sugar.
Step 2. Do a facial massage
Another tip that beauticians sometimes suggest to get rosy cheeks is a facial massage. Massage improves circulation and improves blood flow to the massaged area, giving the cheeks a more rosy tone. This solution is temporary, but you can do it yourself very quickly and easily.
To massage your face yourself, close your eyes, get into a comfortable position, and raise your hands to your face. Use your fingertips to apply pressure to the skin on your face, starting at the top of your forehead and working your way down to your chin. Spend more time massaging your cheeks, squeezing and pressing your cheeks gently to increase blood flow
Step 3. Exercise
One surefire way to get beautiful and rosy cheeks, you just need to exercise a little. It's no secret that activities like sports games, jogging, weightlifting, and gymnastics can make your cheeks flush. In general, the more intense the exercise you do, the brighter your cheeks will be.
However, it should be noted that exercising regularly can actually make it harder for you to get rosy cheeks in the long run. If your blood pressure drops as a result of regular exercise (which can be considered a benefit!), the blood vessels in the cheeks that are responsible for giving them their rosy hue won't get blood flowing easily during exercise
Step 4. Warm up
Keeping your body warm and comfortable in cold weather can sometimes have the side effect of turning your cheeks red. When the body temperature is hot, the body automatically diverts the flow from the inside of the body to the blood vessels near the surface. This blood causes the cheeks (and possibly the rest of the body) to have a reddish hue or pink tinge.
Don't overdo it on this. Wearing a warm coat in cold weather is appropriate, but deliberately torturing yourself by overheating can be dangerous. Cool down if you start to sweat profusely or feel dizzy
Step 5. Wash your face with warm water
Washing your face is not only fun, it can also give your cheeks a pink “pink”! Heating the facial skin with warm water can cause the body to flow more blood to the face. This extra blood flow can make your cheeks rosy with minimal effort.
Method 4 of 4: Using Unverified Methods
Apart from the tips mentioned above, you can find various “home remedies” on the internet and their makers claim that their remedies make cheeks more rosy. The methods mentioned in this section contain home remedies collected from the internet, and, although their creators swear by their effectiveness, these remedies not officially verified. So, use it will be healthy if you want to use it.
Step 1. Try to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables
Some sources say that a diet that contains a lot of plant products can make cheeks flushed. The logic behind this method is that the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in these foods help the body “stay healthy” and improve blood circulation.
In particular, green vegetables like broccoli, spinach, kale, etc. are highly recommended because of their iron content (iron has a natural red color, that's what makes blood red)
Step 2. Try using vinegar
Vinegar is a substance used in many home remedies. According to fans of this method, vinegar can cleanse, rejuvenate, and “detoxify” the skin. In addition, vinegar is thought to improve blood flow. Make sure you wash your skin after using vinegar to get rid of any unpleasant odors.
Use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, not balsamic or red wine vinegar. Although the last two types of vinegar have a natural reddish tint, they can leave skin feeling sticky after use
Step 3. Try a lemon-honey scrub
According to some people, the natural acid content in lemon juice makes this scrub excellent for getting beautiful skin. The reason behind this claim is that acids usually act as cleansing and “purifying” substances so skin feels (and looks) clean and refreshed. The logic behind these claims is usually that the acid acts as a cleaning, "purifying" agent, leaving the skin feeling (and looking) clear and refreshed.
To make a lemon-honey scrub, mix cup of lemon juice with cup of sugar and about a tablespoon of honey. Rub this mixture on your cheeks, let it sit for about a minute, then wash and rinse your face. You can also use this scrub to exfoliate your skin
Step 4. Try to drink lots of water
According to some websites, keeping the body well hydrated can help make cheeks flushed. Drinking plenty of water can provide some minor health benefits, including making skin look a little more "full" and supple. For this reason, drinking lots of water can make your cheeks look beautiful by revealing their natural shape, which can make your cheeks appear more rosy.
Although everyone's needs are different, most health authorities will recommend that you drink eight glasses of 240 ml of water each day (approximately 2 liters) for optimal health
Step 5. Try taking vitamins E and C
Although its effectiveness is uncertain, vitamin supplements are often mentioned in many home remedies to make cheeks flushed. Both of these vitamins are claimed to increase the elasticity and suppleness of the skin so that it makes the skin look healthier overall and radiates a natural "glow".

Notes:
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and that means it takes a long time to get rid of the body. Therefore, you may be poisoning yourself if you take too many vitamin E supplements (the amount you get from your daily diet should not harm your body). As a general rule, adults should not take more than 400 IU (International Units) of vitamin E per day. Doses greater than this can cause serious side effects.
- On the other hand, it is very unlikely that you are consuming unhealthy amounts of vitamin C because it is water soluble. That means vitamin C is easily eliminated from the body.
Tips
- The old-fashioned “pinch the cheek” trick only works for a few seconds, making this method of little use as it is painful to apply, while the results are short-lived.
- Consider seeing a cosmetologist if the tips given above are not getting the desired results. Experts may be able to help you find other strategies to achieve a beautiful cheek look.
- Talk to your doctor if your skin condition makes you dissatisfied with the appearance of your cheeks. Medical solutions may be an option worth considering.
