Blood vessels supplying the capillaries at the surface of your skin dilate (widen) so more blood reaches the surface of your skin and more heat is lost by radiation. This is why you look red (flushed).

Sweat glands in your skin release more sweat, this forms a layer on the surface of the skin which cools the body as it evaporates.
