If you wake up with a face full of tiny red capillaries despite cutting out a good-night glass of Chardonnay, you might be experiencing spider veins, also known as facial telangiectasias or facial redness.

Facial redness can unfortunately be of multiple different colors – bluish, purplish – pick your favorite, and as such it’s nothing uncommon. It can occur for various reasons, but generally it is caused by broken capillaries and spider veins in your face. The exact cause of spider veins – named for their obvious similarity to a spider weaving its web – is not perfectly clear, but some common aspects are huge contributing factors: heredity, pregnancy, aging, hormonal changes, sun damage, etc. Add some occasional alcohol, bad diet and no sleep, and the disaster is on its way. The most affected areas on the face are around the nose, cheeks and chin, and in whites of the eyes. Facial redness is usually not a major health issue, but very much a cosmetic concern. A little bit of blushing every now and then can be cute, but who wants to permanently look like a tomato?
