When you notice thin red lines running across your skin you are suffering from broken capillaries. This happens when the veins break inside skin and is commonly caused by over exposure to the sun, extremely cold weather or heat blasts on your face due to smoking. The veins are commonly known as spider veins. There are a few home remedies and natural treatments that you can try in order to treat this condition.

The essential oils used in aromatherapy treatments are effective in reducing the appearance of these capillaries. Peppermint, geranium, parsley and lemon oils are commonly used in order to treat this condition. You must keep in mind that you cannot use these oils directly on your skin as they are highly concentrated. Blend the essential oils with carrier oils like almond or coconut oil and massage it lightly onto the affected area. This will help to prevent the spread of the red lines on your skin.

If you notice the spider veins on your skin you must avoid high temperatures. This means that you need to avoid going to the sauna at the gym or spa, avoid getting facials where you need to steam your face and even stop smoking. Excess heat on your face will cause irritation in the form of itching and rashes and will increase the redness on your face.

When suffering with spider veins you must reduce your alcohol intake; this causes the capillaries to dilate and spread. You also need to control your stress levels as stress has an adverse effect on your skin and the condition as well.

You must increase your consumption of Vitamin E and C. These vitamins effectively strengthen the capillaries and prevent them from further damage. Using vitamin E based products also help to reduce the redness on the skin.

You must eat a healthy well balanced diet that consists of fiber rich foods; these help to eliminate waste from the body effectively and prevent breaking of capillaries. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains in order to keep your skin healthy and prevent damage to the skin.
