Red veins on any part of the body, especially the face, can be tough to deal with. They can arise from a number of reasons that could be environmental or hereditary and can worsen if they’re not treated. If you’re self-conscious about red veins it can be annoying having to constantly wear heavy make-up if you feel you want to cover them up. Some people tend to develop spider veins more than others. The fact is that broken blood vessels can happen to anyone at any age, including children. Your risk factors depend on the particular cause.
There are many causes of broken blood vessels on the face. They include:
- Overuse of Exfoliants Both Chemical and Physical
- Heredity and genetics. For unknown reasons, spider veins tend to run in families. Individual risk factors also increase with age.
- Pregnancy. An increase in oestrogen hormones during pregnancy can lead to broken blood vessels.
- Rosacea. This common skin condition leads to excessive redness and flushing. With rosacea, broken blood vessels are common.
- Sun exposure. Excessive sun exposure can enlarge your blood vessels.
- Weather changes. Hot weather increases blood vessel dilation.
- Environmental or chemical irritants. This can include improper skincare
- Alcohol consumption. Moderate or occasional alcohol consumption can cause your skin to flush due to the enlargement of blood vessels. Binge drinking and heavy alcohol use can eventually lead to spider veins.
- Injuries. Minor to significant injuries can lead to bruising.
- Vomiting or sneezing. Sudden, extreme pressure in your face from a violent sneeze or a vomiting spell can break the blood vessels in the skin.
