Hi all,

I have broken capillaries around my nose and was wondering if you could give me some tips regarding my skin care regimen. I am particularly curious about the exoliating process - do I exfoliate the affected areas? (I've read conflicting info).

Thank you so much!

I have tried a AHA cream and vitamin C on mine but with little effect, I heard another women on another forum talking about using a OTC product called Lansoil or something like that (sorry, I can't remember the name exactly), it is used for bruises, you get it from the pharmacies, I'm going to try that. Oh, I almost forgot to say that the Avon anew laser system is good at lessening broken capillaries. Good luck

Zap them with lasers or IPLs. They'll be gone in a week.

Thank you for the replies.

I am planning on having them zapped in December, but I have a trip before than and just wanted to make sure that I am not making things worse by exfoliating the areas and looking strange on my trip. I am using bare minerals on the areas, but I am still self-conscious.
