Wear heels (yes!)
Flat feet with dropped arches are more likely to get varicose veins in flat shoes because the lack of support can cause blood circulation to be interrupted, making veins swollen, twisted and visible.
It can help to wear a small heel to support the foot's natural arch. Unfortunately, as we age and our skin gets thinner and varicose veins are more visible. While only expensive laser treatment works to banish them completely, you can use make-up in emergencies. U.S. brand Tintalize has pioneered a foot concealer that disguises scars, veins and tan lines.
Failing that, concealer normally used on the face can do the job. Or try Rio Skin Camouflage and Tattoo concealer (euro 29.99, amazon.co.uk). While there is little you can do to reduce raised veins, drinking two litres of water a day and not standing up for long periods helps.
