It’s not uncommon to experience a hot face without feeling hot all over.
There are a few potential reasons why your face may feel much warmer than the rest of your body.
Causes
Here are some of the most common causes of a hot face without a fever:
1. Circulation changes
Blood flow increases to the surface blood vessels in your face when your body temperature rises, even slightly.
This helps release heat. That’s why your cheeks often appear rosy when you feel hot. Blushing is also due to expanded blood vessels in your cheeks.
Conditions that affect circulation can cause more blood to flow to your face.
Why does my face feel hot but not the rest of my bodyExamples include:
- anxiety

- stress
- exercise

- being upside down

- eating spicy foods
Dilation of facial blood vessels causes more blood to flow to your skin, making your face red and hot.
