A new treatment for facial redness and spider veins and the most complex word you’ll pronounce today.

By The Refresh You Staff   Category: Skin, Face & Body

Clear skin really IS possible with advanced techniques that go far beyond department store counters.

Try this word on for size:

Telangiectasia. Pronounce it like this:
Tell Angie “Eck STAYzhuh.”

That seriously complex word is the medical description for a very common problem—small red spider veins typically found on the nose, cheeks and chin.

They usually develop in adults between 18 and 35, get worse, and peak somewhere between age 50 and 60.

What causes these red spider veins to appear? A lot of things.

Factors such as age, gender, pregnancy, prolonged daily sitting or standing, acne rosacea, use of oral contraceptives, environmental damage from the sun, prolonged exposure to cold temperatures, chemotherapy, alcohol use and topical skin treatments have all been linked to the condition. (Prolonged listening to Lady Gaga albums is surprisingly absent from the list, but you can never be too careful.)

1. Wet your whistle. The number one thing you can put into your body if you want great looking skin is H20. Drinking plenty of water will help keep your skin young and looking fabulous.

Goodbye last night’s cheesecake, hello great complexion.

Quick: Which skin tone do you prefer, the left or the right? (The middle one is the natural color.)

If you prefer the one on the right, you’re not alone.

According to researchers in the U.K. at the University of Nottingham, eating a diet rich in carotenoids gives skin a tan-like glow. We sort of knew this, but they took it a step further.

Here’s what they found: When compared to suntanned skin, observers actually prefer the look of those who eat a lot of carrots and tomatoes. Pretty great, huh? It’s just one more argument to completely skip harmful tanning beds and long hours at the beach unless you want to look like a baseball glove.

“If you want a healthier and more attractive skin color, you are better off eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables than lying in the sun,” says Ian Stephen, study leader and a researcher.

Go have a look at the article here. Pretty amazing!

So if you’re looking for a golden glow, especially in the dead of winter, it could be easier (and healthier) than you think.
