I love self tanners not just because they make me tan,but they hide flaws.They do help with veins and they can also help hide redness or dark circles.I really like Queen Helenes self tanner with aloe.

having tried many self tanners to disguise things like veins, stretch marks and imperfections i can safely tell you yes it will help.

here are some that ive tried:

palmers gradual tan - a little orange, sickly smell, can work if applied properly

johnsons holiday skin - many people swear by it, but the smell is terrible and made my fair skin orange

model co airbrush tan in a can - good colour, makes a mess though, good smell

le tan lotion (bronze) - excellent colour (brown not orange), easy to apply, choose of two colour bronze or deep bronze

ambre solaire (garnier) - very VERY orange, streaky

always remember to exfolitate and wash your palsm because orange hands are not attractive

good luck!
