How to Get Your Legs Ready for Spring

Although we are entrenched in the winter season, we have to think positively on the coldest of days. If you find yourself frustrated when you look at the weather forecast and see another day of below-freezing temperatures or another snowstorm on the horizon, think happy thoughts. And those happy thoughts are that spring and summer will be here sooner than we realize!

 

The spring and summer seasons mean days spent lounging in the sun on the patio, reading a good book by the pool, and hosting cookouts in the backyard with your closest family and friends. If that thought doesn’t warm you up on a cold winter’s day, we don’t know what else does! No matter what your favorite spring and summertime activities are, we know one thing; it’s the time of year to put away the parkas and the snow pants and get out your cute spring clothes! Say goodbye to the scarves and hats and hello to the shorts and sundresses. 

 

Yes, the seasonal wardrobe shift coming your way in the next few months should excite you, not cause you to worry or stress. However, if you’re not confident about the appearance of your legs and are worried that your varicose and spider veins will distract from your adorable summer skirt, then NOW is the time to get that problem addressed! 

 

According to Healthtalk, approximately 20% of adults have visible varicose veins and spider veins. While these bumpy and bluish veins are not visibly appealing, thankfully, they are generally harmless. However, suppose you notice hyperpigmentation of the lower leg and ankle, thickening or hardening of the skin in the same area of the veins, or a skin ulcer forming. In that case, it becomes more than a cosmetic issue to fix, but rather, a serious medical one. 

 

Don’t misunderstand us - we KNOW you are beautiful just the way you are, but it’s about what makes YOU feel most beautiful, particularly during a time of year when your legs are going to be frequently on display. And if addressing your varicose veins and spider veins will make you more confident, these last remaining weeks of winter are the time to address it.
