Does anyone know what would mask bruises on one leg?

I have some really nasty bruises on one of my legs and foot. I have tried an Erase stick, but this isn't very satisfactory. I don't want to use fake tan because I would have to put it on both legs. I am off on holiday very soon and would really appreciate any advice. deanna (Sat 12:02 04/Jul/09)

proper camouflage make-up, used for scars and discolourmant. haven't the foggiest where you get it from though. bruises should fade within a week - can't you wait? fake tan would be easier but you will probably see the bruises anyway and everyone gets them (i bruise like a peach!) - nowt to be ashamed of or need to hide. bet you are beautiful anyway with or without bruises x

ooh - arnica is also good for bruising, but i don't know if it is for preventing or reducing effects immediately after a bump or is effective long after the event. x

you could go to one of the cosmetic counters in a department store but personally, I think you're worrying too much.

and if putting fake tan on both legs is a no-no, I can't imagine what would be less trouble.

Thanks for your input Stonekicker and Sara3
Will rethink what I should do. My foot is particularly bad just now.

hey, I've been walking around with a black eye.. bruises fade.

don't fiddle with it too much, or it'll probably get worse.

Not sure if any of this will help if you ALREADY have a bruise.......

Hi Pastafreak.
That was a really interesting article. Thank you very much. I have parsley growing in the garden so will have a go at that and see how it goes. Most grateful for all the tips.
