Back in Circulation
Take alpha lipoic acid supplements because it has the capacity to regulate the production of nitric oxide, which controls blood flow to the skin. When alpha lipoic acid is applied topically, it helps to transform the complexion from dull, pasty, and pale to vibrant and glowing. It will shrink pores, even out skin tone, decrease lines and wrinkles and eliminate puffiness.

Pycnogenol® also has superior anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal in promoting youthful, beautiful skin and healthy aging of all organ systems. When taken as a supplement and applied topically, Pycnogenol will significantly brighten skin.
What about veins under the eyes? Ever since I was about 14 (I’m 27 now) I’ve had blue veins under my eyes. I am tired of covering them up with concealer…and now I feel like they are getting worse. They are very distressing. Is it something that I’m deficient in? Help!
