People of fair-colored skin blush when blood moves faster than normal. It shows in our ears and face because of how close the smaller vessels are to the skin (same as yours). For instance, when people are nervous, scarred, excited or even mad, their heart kicks up a notch and puff – blushing. You would blush, too, but your skin pigment is too dark to notice. And don’t flatter yourself with thinking it’s because of you. It could just be the lighting.
