Blue veins - Page 2

Blue, prominent veins can be prize worth having.

I get a lot of blood draws and when the first person strikes out and calls in reinforcements for a fourth stab, I always steer them to that one outstanding hand vein.

Maybe try a tattoo concealer product. Those are heavily pigmented to do the trick and many are waterproof.

The veins in my hands are getting more prominent as I age, both bluer and puffier. I remember years ago, my grandmother telling me she would raise her arms straight up and let all of the blood drain out of the veins in the hands if she was having any picture with her hands showing, or if she was sitting at a table, she would make sure to put her elbows on the table and keep her hands raised so that the blood rushes down. That definitely makes a huge improvement in the look, but is not practical in most situations!

But then I think to myself it's a blessing in a way to be getting older as we all have known of others that didn't reach the age that we are, so we should just accept the changes and be glad we are breathing.

But would a little camouflage be out of the question?

Blue veins, wrinkly and saggy skin, neck waddle, droopy eyelids...ahh, the joy of being able to live a long life. I've noticed all this since I've entered my 70s and not handling any of it very well. My hands now look like my mother's, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just that I wasn't ready yet. With so many of my friends passing on now, I know I should be happy with what I have, even when I can't stand to look at it. Good luck on your quest to find a solution. If you don't find anything that works, at least try and embrace your you-ness. Yes, I'm aware that is not a word but apparently made-up words are the new thing

If it makes you feel better to hide aging flaws go for it .But you know when you wash you will see the veins or aging flaws once again. Are you doing it for yourself or others?

Just got to the age where I wish more individuals wouldn't be so into thinking they can hide or have too hide their aging flaws . Example knew a women years ago who was over 100 when she passed , living in assisted living and had a steady appointment for her hair to be washed and set but about every 6 weeks a tint job and cut ,but over the years had so many arguments with other women because she swore she had no greys ,didn't even realize she was getting it colored to cover the greys.

My concern is with aging is that I would hope I can keep my memory as sharp as it is .

@Mimi NY It's really for me and secondly for going out in public. I think they are ugly. I don't like looking at them. I will cover them just like I cover my lips with lipstick. Why? Because I'll look better. I comb my hair to look better, too. Just one of those things.

@Judaline .... My hands are just like yours, plus redness to top things off. I've gotten over my self-consciousness about them though since it seems my skin has thinned everywhere. I'd like to think aging is a beautiful thing, even if it goes against the grain of modern thinking.

I don't color my hair either....nature should know what it's doing. We can hope....
