Covering up Spider Veins is like burying your head in sand

Get them treated with sclerotherapy or laser vein therapy. It is better not to mask them because as time goes on, they can get matter and as they break down, blood will extravasate and the hemosiderin deposition can cause brown dicoloration of the skin which may not be treatable.
