Bruises, also known as contusions, are caused by broken blood vessels under the surface of your skin. Typically, bruises are caused by falling, bumping into things, or getting hit with an object like a ball. While bruises fade over time, there are a few things you can do to speed up the healing process.
You may want to ice the bruise and if the bruise is below the level of the heart, lay on the couch with leg elevated or arm propped up on armrest.
After 24 hours apply moist heat with a moist warm washcloth
Massage the area around the bruise not directly on the bruise.
Get more vitamin C which increases the amount of collagen around blood vessels
Spread Vitamin K cream over the area. Vitamin K can stop the bleeding as it causes your blood to clot. Since we are in the skincare business we will focus on vitamin C and K creams. Before the bruise is faded away you may want to try a concealer.
