What are capillaries?
Capillaries are the finest blood vessels and form a dense network in the dermis. They supply the cells with oxygen and nutrients and carry away metabolic waste.
What role do capillaries play in the skin?
They regulate body temperature and take part in immune defense and skin repair. Healthy microcirculation means a healthy, radiant complexion.
What weakens capillaries?
UV radiation, temperature changes, alcohol, smoking, a lack of vitamins C and K, stress. Weakened capillaries dilate and become visible as broken capillaries.
How do you strengthen capillaries?
Cosmetics with rutin, vitamin K and vitamin C strengthen the vessel walls. Avoid factors that dilate the vessels. SPF 50+ protects against UV radiation, which damages microcirculation.
