Michael Deaver claimed Ronald Reagan drank a little alcohol prior to televised speeches. Alcohol would redden his cheeks and allow him to appear younger and livelier.
Red cheeks can have another connotation- embarrassment.
Ronald Reagan didn't get red cheeks from undue worldly concern. His moniker, the Teflon President, came in part because he delegated, dreamed and worked according to his conscience, not consensus.
For me, red cheeks is a sign that I'm seeking to please people instead of God.
Obsessing over others' opinions of me is silly. My face becomes red with embarrassment whenever I unduly concern myself with others' judgements.
When your face begins to turn red, remember to look up or inside but not side to side.
