This may be a really stupid question but I am a 32 y/o mother of two and becoming very neurotic about my appearance. I've never really had tight skin and I've become to get spider veins on both my legs and face. I know there is treatment for them so I'm okay with them for now but what I'm worried about is that I can start to see all of the big blue veins in my legs, they aren't varicose yet but it's not that attractive to see them. Is there anything that can be done for this? Thanks

Varicose and spider veins can be caused by sun exposure, hormone changes, and inheritance. Backup of blood can also lead these conditions. For temporary measures, you can use camouflage make up or pantyhose to cover the veins.

If the veins get larger and starts to hurt, please consult a dermatologist. A dermatologist can recommend a form of treatment for varicose veins and spider veins.
