I dont know how I've managed this, but I've got 3 cracking bruises on my legs... Its normally not a problem, however this week I'm going out in quite a leggy outfit, and the bruises just look horrible :(

Is there anything I can buy to make them go away fast... or would a concealer/foundation do the job?

Witchhazel gets rid of bruises fast. Takes a couple of days but its good stuff.

Realy thick wooly tights ?

Arnica! Apply the cream or tincture and take the tabs. It's radical.

But quick, hurry up!

arnica.

thats very good for bruises too.

ive had some arnica tincture from the health food shop on surrey street before that worked a treat.

Facial concealer/foundation wouldn't be up to the task of covering bruises. You'd need the heavy duty stuff used to cover birthmarks and the like. All would rub off on your clothes to a certain extent and you'd need a good match to make sure it didn't look false.

Isn't it a bit cold to be going out in a leggy outfit anyway? Wear trousers, you silly girl, or you'll catch your death ;) .

They all do it Hec, I don't know how they don't die of hypothermia. All hunched up with arms folded over their gownless evening straps trying to keep their nipples warm.

I went out min-Nov with our nanny (half my age :rolleyes: ) and she BANNED me from taking my coat! I was glaciated. Had a great time though :D

I was just passing and I saw the word "Nipples"

Is it worth me hanging around or should I bugger off...?

Bugger off.

Try concealer and see what you think first,

You can't cover up bruising, and it's no good telling everyone that you 'fell into a door' when you get black eyes either.

when I was with my "darling" ex fiance, was forever "walking into doors," od "walking into lamp-posts".. :(

I'm another that thinks Arnica is the dogs at getting rid of bruises quickly.

Sally Henson Spray On tights - most amazing product ever. It's like foundation for your legs in a can - spray it on and it looks like you're wearing tights - it's amazing. Covers up my scars on my leg and my knee and smells nice too. It's about 10 quid in boots or a fiver in planet pout in meadow hall (bottom level by marks and sparks - next to mint). Might be quicker than arnica...:) Use it somewhere washable though - it gets everywhere...

Somebody once told me to use onions :gag:

Decided that I'd rather have a bruise then smell!!

I'm getting picked up... I'll be reet! :hihi:
...and I'm always in trousers... I have lovely legs and they shouldnt be hidden!


So... arnica it is... It doesnt smell does it?

it doesn't smell at all, and works a treat, get the little tablets too, they taste fine and work wonders too :)

:hihi: No hang around Jabby, you might be needed for advice :hihi:

Nope. No smell. At all.

Unless you count the eau de dead mackerel that comes with it :hihi:

When using both treatments, be sure not to rub the tablets on your leg and swallow the cream! That's not good for you.

lol you have weird arnica Lizz :P

Lovely jubbly... shall have to get some...
watch me change my outfit now.. lol :hihi:

Are you stalking me Mzmobile? :hihi:

I don't mind if you are, I just need clarification so I can put you on the payroll.

Backing the arnica as well. If you've got any Body shop peppermint foot lotion, that contains it, it'll do the job and smell nice!

Me just winding up Caprice Em :hihi:

Stagey, I rather think the opposite is the case.
Shucks, put me down for minimum wage :help:

I doubt very much if the body shop's foot cream will contain sufficient arnica to treat Cap's bruises, but hey, tell us the X-rated stuff anyway :D

I swear by it Lizz. Have always used it, even before i knew it was the arnica that was sorting the bruising out. I'm forever walking into tables at work and ending up with bruises.

The X rated stuff ?- I'd be banned for life!

Oh, right, ok then (to everything) :help:

I'd go with the arnica too- but if you're still bruised when you want to go out, I have some of the makeup that is prescribed for covering port wine stains, burns and tattoos (should you need it). It's waterproof to the extent that you can swim in it, and it needs its own remover to get it off again.

Yes, Arnica cream or gel is very good.Best to put it on immediately you bump yourself,but is good any time .The best is from QVC and is a lovely golden Arnica gel. I always keep some in. It sinks in really fast and smells lovely.

I now have a bruise on my forehead thanks to a disagreement between my drunken wobbly head and the toilet door... What am i going to do? :roll:
