Why You Shouldn’t Be Using Makeup to Cover Varicose Veins

Like millions of women in America, you’ve probably tried to cover up the varicose veins on your legs with make-up. Which is great…until you want to swim, hike, or even simply relax on a lounge chair.

You deserve to feel confident. In skirts, in shorts, in a bathing suit – in whatever! Varicose veins can make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable, especially in social situations.

There are tons of blog articles out there teaching women how to perfectly conceal their leg veins with body makeup. You’re probably thinking to yourself, “Body makeup?! But, I already spend 30 minutes each morning doing my face makeup!”. We feel your pain. Concealing varicose veins should not become a regular activity!

Between having to find the right makeup, applying it, treading carefully to make sure you don’t smear it on any furniture – it’s a downright hassle!

This is just one website’s list for the starter items you’ll need:

1. Sunless tanning lotion
2. Body makeup
3. Waterproof concealer
4. Eyeliner makeup brush
5. Makeup sponge 
6. Airbrush leg spray 

But what if there were a way to make your varicose veins vanish for good? Oh wait, there is! Dr. Oz (yes, Oprah’s favorite doctor, Dr. Oz) previously told audiences, “Too many of you are hiding behind long pants and skirts because you are ashamed of your varicose and spider veins, but that is going to stop today”.

The only way to make those unsightly leg veins go away is to undergo treatment. The good news is, that treatment is minimally invasive and has short recovery time. Beautiful, younger looking legs is not out of reach!

Women all over the country suffer from varicose veins, which are the result of blood pools within the veins bulging out to allow blood to drain down to the legs after valves become leaky. You don’t have to be one of them anymore.
