In some people we find the veins of the legs protruding and visible. Needless to say, it looks bad and scary and something must be done to cover up these spider veins. There are some special body make up which lasts long and can camouflage this kind of marks, tattoos etc.

Firstly, you have to pick up a concealer, the shade of which should match the colour of the skin on your legs. After applying it, set it with powder so that it does not come off onto your clothes. The best available body make up is Cover FX and Dermablend Leg and Body cover.

The above can help you to hide those ugly spider veins but it is not a permanent solution. To remove them permanently you have to go for fractional laser therapy, like Fraxel. Though this is costly, it is worth the price as your scars and spider veins will disappear permanently after you go through a few sessions.

Most of us have ugly hard and dark skin on the elbows. This is mostly hereditary though their can be other reasons for the same. To make that rough skin on your elbows soft, you have to undergo some exfoliation process. At home, firstly try exfoliation by means of a scrub and bath mitt. Then follow it up with a heavy moisturizer. This is not the job of 1 day. You have to do it regularly for a few days.

You may also use microdermabrasion creams for the exfoliation of the hard skin on your elbows. It will help to remove layers of the dead cells present. In case all these attempts fail, i.e. if your skin is too hard and dry, then you have to visit a dermatologist who can help to solve your problem by using acid peels (mainly trichloric acid). Also, laser peels are very effective, but they must be professionally administered.
