Would you like to wear shorts, but visible spider veins on your legs are holding you back? You can get rid of them. Reach for a product you most likely already have in your kitchen cabinet.

When the temperature exceeds 25°C, shorts or dresses seem to be the only sensible solution. However, many women avoid wearing such styles out of concern for visible cellulite or "spider veins."

What are spider veins? They are dilated blood vessels that are visible through the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body, but most often, they can be seen on the legs. How can you eliminate spider veins on the legs with home remedies? Use the health benefits of herbs.

How do spider veins form?

Spider veins, or telangiectasias, are enlarged blood vessels below the skin's surface. They often appear on the thighs, calves, feet, or under the knees. They can be blue, purple, or red. They resemble a spider's web in appearance. That's where their common name comes from.

How do spider veins form? Many factors influence their formation, but the most common ones are genetic predisposition, lifestyle (prolonged standing or sitting), and hormonal imbalances. If spider veins appear at a young age, they may indicate problems with vein obstruction or circulatory diseases.

Apply to your leg. You will get rid of spider veins

Spider veins appear much more often in women. For this reason, many refrain from wearing shorts or dresses. It turns out that this defect can be removed in a few simple ways. How to get rid of spider veins? Use what nature has given us.

A chamomile compress is one of the cheapest and, at the same time, most effective methods in fighting spider veins. How do you prepare such a compress? Stock up on chamomile tea. Brew several bags and let them cool. Once cooled, apply them to the spider veins and leave them on for 15-20 minutes. Repeat the procedure 3-4 times a week, and you will notice the first results after a month.

Use vinegar like spirit, apple, or rice vinegar for faster results. Soak a cotton pad in it and rub the affected skin. Repeat the procedure twice a day for 3-4 days. However, remember that vinegar can irritate the epidermis, so after the vinegar is absorbed, massage a small amount of soothing cream into the skin.

Chamomile is not the only plant that works in fighting spider veins. The most effective preparations are based on horse chestnut extract, arnica, and comfrey oil. Each plant constricts the blood vessels and prevents new changes from appearing. You can buy them at any pharmacy.
