Q: My veins pop out a lot, I’m not even strong or any thing. Why Does This happen?

A: There answer is surprisingly simply – you don’t have much fat in the layer just under your skin. This allows your veins to bulge outward a little. In some people this occurs naturally, like yourself for instance. In many other people they have to work to get rid of their sub-skin fat by exercising and such. This is why you normally see bulging veins on “strong people”….and women naturally have more of this fat, which is why they tend to have smoother skin and fewer veins.
