Dilated capillaries
What is it: Dilated capillaries are caused by climate, stimulants, incorrect products, smoking and can also be hereditary. When sensitive skin is irritated, by temperature changes, spicy food, alcohol etc, the capillary veins dilate all over the face and neck. And because sensitive skins also tend to be especially fine and transparent, redness is particularly visible.

How to treat it: 'Protect the skin from harsh conditions such as wind, sun and hot temperatures, and cut back on hot drinks, smoking, alcohol and spicy foods', recommends skincare guru Danne Montague King.

Nutritional tips from Penny Povey: Low salt, low fat, high fibre, bilberries, buckwheat.
Supplements: Large doses of vitamin C and vitamin E.
