Blushing Bride Fled During a Fitting for her Wedding Dress!   

Blushing bride Debbie Rhodes, 33, from Glasgow, talks to Vows and Venues about how she solved her blushing problem before her big day, with the help of KALME products.

“I struggled for years with severe blushing and redness before I knew what it was. Everything seemed to make my skin go bright red. Most beauty creams made me go red, if I went in the sun, drank alcohol, got embarrassed or got in any awkward situations my skin would flush an embarrassing shade of red.

Blushing bride beforeBefore long it was clear I had something far worse than just blushing. When I saw my doctor he immediately diagnosed me with rosacea as well as hypersensitivity and he prescribed me with a topical steroid cream.

Keen to find an alternative to steroids, I tried everything from nappy cream to Vaseline. Most products burn my skin and make the redness even worse. It’s a vicious circle. Nothing really worked on the flushing.

The year I got married I can remember shopping for my wedding dress with my mum and bridesmaids, and my face going so red I had to abandon my dress-fitting and sit down in a café with ice cubes on my face

Debbie didn't want to be the blushing bride on her wedding day

I was terrified my skin would flush bright red for my wedding day, I was worried my skin would turn beetroot red and I would look awful, especially as I’d be dressed in white.

But because of our upcoming wedding, in growing desperation that I was going to be not a blushing bride but a brilliant red tomato bride I put out a tweet on the beauty blogs to see if anyone had a remedy for rosacea and that was how I found out about the KALME products. Someone tweeted me back and recommended them saying they were the only thing that had ever worked for her redness. It’s been the best bit of advice I’ve ever had. 

In less than a week of trying the KALME products my skin calmed right down and stopped stinging and the flushing reduced a lot. Within three weeks I was able to stop using the steroids on my skin altogether. 

Blushing bride afterMy friends started commenting on how amazingly clear and calm my skin looked. They were all used to me turning up looking like I’ve just been working out at the gym. They thought I had had some sort of beauty treatment. I was beyond delighted with the results. 

My skin was fantastic for my wedding day and looked calm and lovely and my make-up did not slide off my face like it normally does. KALME products literally saved the day!”
