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.)
