Ugly veins! - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Hi there. I'm from the UK and summer is just about made its entrance. The thing is though, I never wear shorts or skirts because you can see the veins in my legs. They're not varicose veins but they still look ugly. I also have those little red veins as well. I know that you can't just get rid of them but does anyone have any ideas as to how to make them less noticeable. I really don't want to spend my summer in trousers! Thanks.

I have the same thing too, but not too bad. My mom has them, and I'm only 21 and am already starting to see them pop up. Some people have the misconception that you can only develop them if you're overweight, but I'm only 5'2" 106lbs. and trust me, I've got them! Best thing I've found is to use a self-tanner. For me, it literally covers them up and its much better for you than lying out in the sun!

Yeah, I'm not overweight either. I've tried self tanning but whatever I use it always ends up looking patchy! I suppose I'll have to give it another go!

Have you heard of Veinocal? It's an herbal supplement that comes with a guarantee. Use search engine for more info. I have some dark veins on the back of my leg and some some spiders veins on my face. I started taking these about a week ago - will let you know if and when I start seeing results.
Cross your fingers!

Thanks for the info. Hopefully it works. Get back to me if you see any improvement!
