I used to have a reddish flushed look to my face most of the time. This was especially true of my nose. I wore green make-up to tone down the red. It wasn't related to high blood pressure, drinking, etc--I just inherited this skin tone from my father.

Since low carbing, this flushed look has very much decreased and my skin tone is "normal". It just snuck up on me. One day while putting on the green make-up, I realized that I didn't need it because it was now causing me to look too pale.
