Winter is a difficult time for delicate, sensitive, and capillary skin. Thin epidermis, when exposed to frosty gusts of wind, quickly dehydrates, irritates, and reddens. What can be done to prevent the problem from flaring and, despite the harsh conditions, to gradually improve the condition of capillaries and prevent further inflamed capillaries?
Natural care to fight against blood vessels
Despite many myths, natural skincare often brings relief, desired hydration, and lubrication to sensitive skin, while pharmacy lines don't always meet the needs of those struggling with the growing problem of redness. Natural ingredients regenerate, soothe, and gently care for even the most demanding skin types. It's especially worth incorporating natural oils into your skincare routine, as they provide essential protective occlusion and reduce the visibility of blood vessels, as well as reducing their tendency to dilate.
Which oil should I choose?
Herbal oils (macerates) and vegetable oils naturally rich in vitamin C are primarily intended for the care of capillaries. Skin prone to redness is often also sensitive, and the problem of redness is often linked to dehydration and irritation. Therefore, oils with a heavier consistency, containing soothing substances, fatty vitamins, squalane, cholesterol, and essential fatty lipids, will also provide relief. Herbal macerates are oil extracts from herbs. You can make your own, although you can easily buy ready-made products online that don't require home-made recipes. Dilated capillaries will respond well and be soothed by oil extracts from butcher's broom, arnica, carrot seed, horse chestnut, rosehip, buckwheat, rue, hawthorn, green tea, and trifoliate. Oils with a high content of natural vitamin C and antioxidants (especially natural orange and red pigments) strengthen and tone blood vessels, brighten skin tone, and increase skin's resistance to adverse weather conditions. Natural oils derived from wild rose, sea buckthorn, passion fruit, raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, and apricot kernel are worth considering. Soothing and calming oils restore proper hydration and lubrication, envelop the skin in a gentle, fatty veil, and protect against harmful external factors. This effect is achieved by natural butters (especially shea and cupuaçu) and gentle oils with a thick consistency that work well with the skin: avocado, tsubaki, jojoba, hemp, and sweet almond oils. However, if you're looking for a ready-made oil blend for broken capillaries and rely on proven cosmetics, we recommend the multi-purpose Calm Annabelle Minerals oil . This product contains oils with soothing, calming, and regenerating properties, while the addition of lemon and geranium oil provides essential vitamins and antioxidants and brightens the discoloration that often accompanies broken capillaries.

What should you avoid if you have dilated capillaries on your face?
The word "oil" is not synonymous with "oil." Ready-made oil blends are commonly called oils, but oils can also be essential oils, which are a strong, thick, and essential concentration of active compounds at 100% strength. Therefore, choose properly diluted products or monitor the concentration of essential oils in your blend (maximum 0.5-1%). If you're choosing a ready-made product, pay attention to the oils it contains: avoid oils that are strongly antibacterial, disinfecting, warming, have a high irritating potential (e.g., oregano oil, marjoram, rosemary), or have photosensitizing properties (e.g., angelica, fennel, bergamot). Also, keep in mind that couperose-prone skin is only a type, not a skin type. Therefore, match oils or oil blends primarily to your skin's current needs, and select active ingredients specifically for dilated capillaries. The way you apply oils is also crucial – you should definitely avoid large, extreme temperature fluctuations – oils are excellent for sensitive, delicate skin where broken capillaries are visible, but apply cold or warm to room temperature. Traditional oil cleansing methods and strong stimulation of the skin through tapping or rubbing can cause more harm than good. Remember to be gentle with your skin and avoid exposing it to further irritation. Contrary to appearances, delicate skin and the appearance of broken capillaries are not a major obstacle to implementing natural, often more effective skincare methods. Try it now; you'll likely notice an improvement very quickly!
