Skincare for Fragile Skin: How to Prevent Bruising and Support Healing
As we transition into fall, you may notice your skin becoming more sensitive, dry, or even more prone to bruising. Cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and indoor heating can all compromise the skin’s natural barrier, making it more delicate, especially for mature skin or individuals on certain medications (like blood thinners or steroids).
If you find yourself bruising more easily or struggling with slow-healing marks, it might be time to update your skincare regimen with targeted therapies.
Support Fragile Skin with Skintensive Bruise Cream
Formulated by Harvard-trained dermatologists, Skintensive Bruise Cream is designed specifically for fragile or easily bruised skin. Whether you’re noticing more bruising with age, medications, or sun-damaged skin, this cream helps both prevent and repair the signs.
Key ingredients:
- Vitamin C & E: Potent antioxidants to support collagen production and skin healing
- Vitamin K: Helps improve blood circulation and fade discoloration
- Arnica: A natural botanical known to reduce bruising and inflammation
Tip: Start applying at the first sign of bruising, or even daily as a preventative measure, especially on the arms and legs where skin tends to thin over time.
