Blush refers to the reddening of the face from embarrassment, while flush is a broader term for redness due to various causes like heat or exertion.
Blush vs. Flush

Key Differences

Blush is typically a reaction to emotional stimuli, like embarrassment or shyness, causing a noticeable reddening of the face. Flush, however, can result from various factors including emotional responses, temperature changes, or physical exertion, leading to a widespread reddening of the skin.

Blushing is often involuntary and linked to feelings of self-consciousness or bashfulness. Flushing, in contrast, might not have an emotional trigger and can be a response to environmental factors or physiological conditions.

The physiological process of blushing involves the dilation of blood vessels in the face due to emotional triggers. Flushing, on the other hand, can occur in different parts of the body and may be caused by external heat, alcohol consumption, or medical conditions.

Blush is commonly associated with youth and innocence, often seen as a gentle, modest reaction. Flush, meanwhile, can indicate a more intense response and is not always associated with modesty or shyness.

Blush is generally limited to the facial area and is more subtle. Flush can be more pronounced, covering larger areas of the skin and sometimes accompanied by a sensation of warmth.
