VIDEO OF THE DAY
Immediately take care of cooling the place where the bruise appears: apply a cold compress or pour cold water. It helps a lot. Do this as soon as possible, preferably immediately after the injury. You can also use a heating pad with a cooling function. This will narrow the blood vessels and prevent further blood extravasation. If the bruise occurred on the legs or arms, spend a few minutes lying down with the limbs elevated. This will allow blood to drain freely from the affected area, preventing the formation of large bruises.
Use anti-bruising creams and ointments, which are easily found in pharmacies and drugstores. Depending on the composition, they can have different properties: cooling, regenerating, reducing swelling and strengthening blood vessels. If the bruised area is very painful and sensitive, topical pain-relieving ointments can help.
However, there are no methods that will make the bruise disappear immediately after their application. Cooling a bruise is a process that takes time, and any methods of dealing with it are only intended to support recovery and reduce associated discomfort, such as swelling or pain. Don’t expect that applying a cream or cooling compress or lying with your limbs elevated will ensure that your body is instantly scar-free.
Also, make sure you eat a diet rich in vitamin C and rutin. These are very important ingredients that have an anti-inflammatory effect and strengthen the walls of blood vessels. They are found mainly in fresh fruits and vegetables, such as peppers, tomatoes, berries, strawberries and rose hips.
If the bruise appeared in a prominent place, which is difficult to hide under clothes, you are probably wondering how it can be disguised. The best way is to use opaque makeup products with good pigmentation. Apply them with your fingertips or a special sponge on the bruised area. Try to gently blend, not rub. This will help mask the bruise better. For example, fluids, tonal creams and concealers are good. Finally, it is useful to fix the effect with a mattifying powder. Before applying foundation or concealer, you can also use a recovery cream to hydrate the skin and accelerate its natural regeneration processes.
