Question
Ladies PLEASE HELP ME!! I seem to have a problem that I think I am alone in suffering from. In my legs and feet in particular I have very very visible veins, they are not varicose but just really really visible. The ones in my feet are particularly bad and I am really self conscious about them. I am now glad it's winter because the summer is very problematic as they look so awful.
I have red hair and very pale skin so find self tanning a bit disastrous which so far is the only thing I have tried to disguise them. My doctor told me about 4 years ago that its just because I have thin skin but that really doesn't help me.
Do any of you know of any procedures, or any amazing makeup or tanning techniques I could use, as I would go so far as to say they make me feel like a freak!! I am newly single and this is making me think I will never meet another man! It's really really upsetting me!!
Thanks girls xx

Nobodys perfect.. so what you might feel consious but the only thing is you got to remember to that you cant change what god created of you right? So in which your case you should just not worry bout it. If people have a problem with it then they arent worth your time :)
I have problems with veins as well, I do get tan in the summer, but as soon as it's fall like now, I get back to my pale self. The veins are mainly on my legs the inner parts and in the back of my calves. I spoke to my doc, she said there's not much that can be done, but when you and I have kids one day, they will become more prominent due to the pressure on the legs due to pregnancy. How depressing! But my mom is in to homeopathic treatments and found a natural way to lessen the appearance of my veins. You have to use it everyday to see some results, I have a hard time to do so, but even with some uses I see a big difference. It is called Pine oil. It comes from the seeds from the pine cone. I know it sounds a bit out there, but I hope I helped. Good Luck!
Thanks so much Kristina I will give it a try!! And yes the whole kids thing worries me too cos I know they'll get worse!!

since you said tanning isnt an option (i know how that feels. lol.) you could try putting concealer over them. it might sound wierd, but i guess its a try. i know for pale skin, hot topic has some stuff you could use on your legs. since its getting cold, i wouldnt worry about your feet, since they'll most likely be in tennis shoes and socks for awhile. lol. but you could try it on your legs. i dont know how well it'd work, but its worth a try! :D
hey! There is a cosmetic line called coverblend that actually makes a concelar for all over the body. I wouldnt do it for like everyday but if you had to wear a dress or show ur legs you could use it :) Its used to cover veins, birthmarks, and scars. I have tried it on a few ppl and it does seem to work. It depends if you can find the right shade :) So you could try that if you wanted too :) hope this helped!
I think i saw that on the doctors, they showed a woman with really ugly feet and they looked soo good after. if you want a permanent solution look into a laser treatment, depending how much you would have to put makeup on it may be cheaper, just depends on how much you like to show your legs.
I have the same veins too! Dont stress about them - I did once and found out when I asked others they didnt really notice them at all!
NEVER truly tan - its bad for your body - instead there are a lot of instant tanners around that you could use to replicate it. Piz Buin is a brand I use which prevents streaky patches and yellow complexion.
Good luck - but remember, you are beautiful just the way you are, and dont let anyone convince you otherwise!
try the rub on foaming tanner... or try the spray on tans they have at salons, they can be pricey but its more instant result then the beds and healthier foryour skin too. thats pretty common in red heads, im not a red head myself, but i have like 5 girlfriends that are lol and they all have tanning and skin issues, my friend just uses the spray on technique and is really happy with it...
i have very visible veins too, im dark, with semi-olive skin, and freckles, and to be honest, i quite like the visible veins. i seriously dont think it will stop you finding a man!
work on keeping your overall complexion smooth and healthy...... the veins are not a bad look...... kinda....... refined :P
honestly, theres always gonna be something you hate about you body..... at least, its likely, so dont let those veins worry you too much..........
all the best.....
same with me... but DON'T wear fake tan.. be happy for being your pale, beautiful self! A fake tan will just go orange and streaky. No one notices your veins anyway.... just you :) just live with them :)
