People go red in the face from the extra blood flow throughout their bodies required by the extra exercise. The face has hardly any fat and the blood fills the capilary cells beneath the skin making them red faced. The face has more capillary cells than any other part of the body and if you get even a tiny scratch, the area will bleed profusely. Same for the ears. This is why mothers of small children who get a scratch on these area goes beserk because their child is bleeding so profusely. Its just a natural occurrance. As a former paremedic, I have had to explain this more than a few times to calm mom or dad down.

When we engage in physical activities, our body temperature rises, causing blood vessels near the skin's surface to dilate in order to release heat. This dilation can give the skin a red or flushed appearance as more blood flows closer to the skin's surface to aid in cooling the body down.
