Try researching “erythematotelangiectatic Rosacea,” that’s basically what spider veins are.

Broken blood vessels are caused by inflammation and weakened blood vessels. Vit C is great but very acidic on the body. Increasing your alkaline foods should help.

Covering them up could cause them to get worse. Taking anything that is anti-inflammatory should help, especially Chamomile, Lysine, Green Tea, Aloe, Licorice, Feverfew, zinc. Most of these will help topically too.

There is a dr’s study that used Silymarin (Milk Thistle) and MSM topically and results were seen in weeks. Milk Thistle detoxes the liver, so this all points to the liver again. MSM is a natural sulfur which kills germs and helps with redness and inflammation.

Some people are using Eucerin Redness Relief which has LIcorice in it, but it’s a strange color that doesn’t blend well for me.

A lot of guys are reporting that too much L-arginine is making them red and inflamed – cut out all foods that are high in that, especially nuts and chocolate. (That’s probably why L-lysine has helped some people, it counteracts the arginine in the body).

Arnica is very helpful for reducing spider veins, not sure how it will work on the face area. Should be taken sublingually and topically for best results.

There is also a creme (Derma-E brand) that is sold for spider veins, that might help too but it’s a creme so it can cause zits.

The spider veins usually get worse if the body isn’t detoxed.

In the morning, I used it again wihout washing my face and my face looked clear and clean. Since it’s a brownish-orange, it isn’t something you can leave the house with, but an hour even once a day should show improvements.

At least it’s more natural than some of the products everybody is using, which for me usually makes my face worse and dry and more red.

The only thing I use for a moisturizer is Jojoba oil mixed with water. Jojoba is the closest thing to our own body oil and actually slows down our sebum from being in over drive.

I think using chemicals on the face especially in OTC moisturizers and washes is prolonging or promoting skin irritation and that’s why nothing seems to work long term.

Taking a bath with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide added always kept my face and skin clear, but now I don’t have a bathtub so my body hasn’t done as well.

My cosmetologist recommended a Gylocolic Cleanser and a Gylcolic cream by Jan Marini. I also use Jan Marini’s 30spf mosturizer. Within 2 months the symptoms went away. I have been using it for 7 years now. I have no redness and my skin is no longer dry. With the exception of maybe a couple small veins, my skin looks great. People are shocked when I say I have Rosacea. The Jan Marini products not only improved my skin but kept it from getting any worse.

I highly recommend these products. The 3 products combined cost is about $120. But they last at least 6 months. You can buy them in some Spas or Salons. Or you can buy them online directly from Jan Marini.

Also, I use Bare Minerals makeup. Keeps my skin healthy, and clear.

I read on here about Prosacea, and decided to check it out. Along with beginning to take flaxseed oil tablets (for the rosacea and I’ve read it is also beneficial in weight loss). In just 4 days my skin is visibly clearer, and I’ve been very pleased with the Prosacea product. My only complaint is, (even though it says it’s unscented) it has a very heavy sulpher smell that I worry is going to offend others around me. Of course, the main ingredient in Prosacea is sulpher, so of course it’s probably going to smell like it. If they could somehow mask that smell, I would consider this stuff a miracle worker.
