Some of the causes of broken facial blood vessels include: Aging. Prolonged sun exposure. Pregnancy and childbirth. Chronic systemic or topical corticosteroid use. Oral contraceptive use (birth control pills) Estrogen replacement therapy. Excessive alcohol use.

As the human body gets older, it becomes fragile and prone to damage. After years of hardship and exposure to the sun, the skin gets fragile and so do the blood vessels.
