I have known that it is very important to wear sunscreen on your face for a long time. After researching the world of varicose and spider veins, I learned that spider veins can appear on your cheeks and nose by sun exposure. I have seen people with spider veins on their faces, but assumed it was hereditary. Genetics could play a role, but it can also happen from sun damage. So outside of wearing sunscreen on your face to prevent excess lines, wrinkles, age spots, freckles and skin damage, we can add spider veins to the list. Invest in sunscreen and moisturizers with sunscreen for your best protection.
