It's a sad fact that as we grow older, our bodies start to ache more and our skin starts to change, and one of things that tend to be quite common are broken capillaries which start to appear, and the most prominent place tends to be the face. They are noticeable as small red lines or patches, especially around the nose area.

The reason for this is because your skin gets thinner in this area. But they could also indicate a more serious problem. Try this tip. Stand in front of a mirror and try to measure the longest broken capillaries around your nose. If you find that they are over 3-4 mm long then it is possible that you have poor circulation and also a weak cardiovascular system as well. If this happens to you then try some natural boosters in the way of topical treatments that contain horse- chestnut, which is believed to help blood flow.

Alternatively consider a Pycnogenol supplement. This is a pine bark supplement with lots of healing abilities, and it is thought to strengthen capillary walls. Also consider eating foods rich in antioxidants such as berries which contain anthocyanins, which will help strengthen your blood vessels.

Also consider alternative antioxidant rich foods such as green tea, dark chocolate and red wind. All these contain circulation-boosting antioxidants. So try some of these remedies if you feel that you may have poor circulation, and act quickly. If in any doubt however, it is always advisable to speak to your general practitioner.
