Mine has always gone red - especially in the evenings.
It is definitely a lot worse, and I have become so much more sensitive, especially to anything that has nut oils in (mildly allergic). If I blush, it burns. In exercise classes it glows, and after the shower I am a blotchy mess.
I put a little powder foundation on in the evenings and pretend that it is not happening on the basis that if I do not draw attention to it and brazen it out, then no one else will notice either - they are either worrying about themselves or too polite
Brief Hard stare and change the subject/move on to anyone who does.
