Broken blood vessels are also called “spider veins” or telangiectases, which is their official medical name. They’re not dangerous to your health at all, but they are considered to be highly unaesthetic. Broken blood vessels in the face region are difficult to put up with, especially when you’re always having to cover them up with foundation or powder. But, instead of covering them up all the time, how about trying some home remedies? We have listed here for you some of the best-broken blood vessels on face treatments available out there, easy to make in the privacy of your own house.
First of all, as we all know, prevention is always better than a cure. Therefore, it’s good to know what are some of the causes of spider veins at face level and what you could do to prevent them from appearing on your face.
Now that you’ve seen what causes broken blood vessels on face levels, you can start the battle against spider veins by reducing the alcohol intake, using high SPF sun lotion, making sure your facial hygiene is not more aggressive than it should be, and using the correct products for each skin type.
Unfortunately, there is no medical cure for spider veins. They cannot be made to go away or be shrunken medically, but there are ways in which you can conceal them, make them better blend in with your complexion or keep them in control at all times so that they don’t show as much. Here they are.
Probably the best idea regarding how to get rid of broken blood vessels on the face is make-up and, more importantly, concealer. If the broken veins are minimal or in a not-so-obvious place on your face, you can always use some concealer to hide them away. Use the green one to counteract redness, as it will work much better than the skin-colored one. Blend it in with your normal foundation and then apply loose powder for a natural finish. Don’t forget about blush, illuminator, bronzer, or highlighter for specific parts of your face, which will draw attention away from your problematic area.
It’s very important here that you know the basic differences between green, yellow and pink concealer. Green is for redness, acne, and spider veins, yellow evens out the tones, so it needs to be used in areas of the face that need equalizing and pink is for the dark blue or purplish areas on your face, like spots or circles under your eyes. You can search for images on how to properly apply it on the internet.
This is a home remedy most people suffering from spider veins swear by. Vitamin C is, of course, one of the most used and coveted ingredients in skin care products. It helps in the anti-aging battle and it gives you a brighter, healthier, skin. Vitamin C has been known to reduce the appearance of red or brown spots as well as other damages to the skin caused by the sun, reduce inflammation and irritation and improve the skin’s natural healing processes. In this way, it helps fade post-breakout red marks, which is exactly what you need when it comes to spider veins.
Lysine, on the other hand, is an essential amino acid that works wonders in combating skin afflictions. Acne, pimples, redness, and even frostbite, they’re all cured after treatment with L-Lysine. You can find it in your local drugstores and incomes in the shape of pills which you can add to your daily diet. Combining the two, Vitamin C and L-Lysine seems like a match made in heaven for our skin.

It also helps heal the skin. So it sounds like a wonder product, probably already waiting for you in your kitchen cupboard, to try.
The way to apply it is simple. Just rub it gently on your face using your hands. Use just a tiny quantity at first and add some more along the way should you feel the need. You can also dab it under your eyes with a cotton ball. Another homemade way of using it is to mix it with whipped butter and apply it all over your body as a treatment against the harsh winter cold and wind.
