visible veins on upper sides of forehead

why do the veins on the side of my upper forehead show?  They didn't use to.  Is this something that happens to older people?

Do you have fairly pale skin? I'm pretty pale and you can see some veins on my face too. One that especially bothers me is under my left eye - I always have to put concealer on it! :) I think that the density of your skin also changes a bit throughout life. If you are concerned or have any pain with it, I would see a doctor just in case. Otherwise, I think you are fine.

I'm pretty young and I get veins on my forehead too very easily.  I don't think it has to do with getting older
