Not a doctor – Turning red after eating spicy food is primarily caused by capsaicin, a compound in peppers that binds to pain and heat receptors, tricking your brain into thinking you are overheating. This causes vasodilation—your blood vessels widen and rush blood to the skin’s surface to cool you down, resulting in facial flushing and sweating.
