    You might have "rosacea". Over 14 million americans are affected by it and this may be the reason your face is red. I know people with this, but they are not really affected by it, although they don't have a bad case of it. It is becoming an increasingly wide-spread medical condition and you might be one of the people affected by it. It was found in a survey that 78% of americans do not know about rosacea. For more help, my source might help you as well as google or a doctor about your options about what to do about rosacea and more info.

    And also this may not be the problem because there are probably other things that have/are casing your face to be red.

    I REALLY hope this helps you.

    I would visit a dermatologist. They might be able to diagnose the issue and provide you with treatment. I have sensitive skin that is frequently red and these products have helped control it for me:
