One of the problems we experience as we age is the appearance of blue veins under the eyes. The appearance of veins under the eyes usually happens to older people who have fair skin.
The skin under the eyes is thin. Due to its fragile structure, it is predisposed to the appearance of not only blue veins but also dark circles and wrinkles. That is why it is imperative that we go the extra mile to care for the skin under the eyes.
Many of the surgical methods that are generally used to treat spider veins cannot be used for blue veins under the eyes. Because these veins are very close to the primary veins connected to the brain, it is dangerous to treat them surgically. They can clog veins and hinder blood flow to the brain.
It goes without saying that natural treatments are more ideal. Here are some of the tips on how you can combat this skin problem:
1. Take multivitamin supplements. Vitamin C and vitamin E are helpful in improving blood circulation. These vitamins also work to reduce pain caused by varicose veins. Today there are many supplements that contain a healthy dose of these vitamins. The ideal is to take about 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C daily and about 200 IU of vitamin E twice a day.
Bioflavonoids are also helpful. These are used by the body to improve the strength of the vein walls. They also strengthen the connective tissues that support blood vessels. 300 milligrams of the complex form of bioflavonoids should be taken daily.
2. The distilled form of witch hazel has been found to help veins disappear. This can be used as an astringent. Dip a cotton ball in the witch hazel extract. Gently apply to the affected area under the eyes. Experts discovered that this ingredient can help strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
3. Use a natural eye cream. There are certain eye cream products that contain ingredients that can thicken the dermis tissues and improve blood circulation. Look for Eyeliss, CynergyTK, and Phytessence Wakame.
Eyeliss is an ingredient made up of natural peptides. Peptides can help plump up weak skin cells in the body. This is also beneficial in improving the thickness of the dermis. CynergyTK is an ingredient that can help boost collagen production. Provides functional keratin, a type of protein that can help regenerate collagen and elastin. Phytessence Wakame is a Japanese seaweed that can help eliminate harmful enzymes that break down hyaluronic acid.
