Answers:
It is quite likely that you have pre-rosacea. There are actually 3 stages to rosacea:

1. Pre-rosacea. You flush easily due to excess dilation of blood vessels in your face.
2. Vascular rosacea. The blood vessels become permanently dilated and may break.
3. Inflammatory rosacea. Acne-like pustules and bumps spread across your face.

Rosacea must be diagnosed and treated by a physician. Calming cleansers only temporarily relieve the redness; cold water does not affect the redness. There are many prescription medications that can help your pre-rosacea now, before you progress to a further stage.

maybe you are allergic to the stuff

You might have rosacea,but i think that would mean your face is always red.You could also be working your self to hard,in which case,slow down.
