I just want to mention that if you scroll through this thread there are lots of suggestions from people experiencing blood brushing like using Arnica gel/cream, stay hydrated, lotion, sunscreen, etc.
tad1304 posted some interesting information in the last few days. There are things I do to protect my skin. I wear sleeves when I garden or do some home projects. I purchased a few of the sleeves on Amazon in different thicknesses. I use sun protection, lotion to keep my skin hydrated, aloe vera and arnica gel. Nothing has proven super helpful but it’s what I can do now to try to preserve my skin. I have permanent discoloration on my elbows from skin tears and bruising. The skin on my arms is often crepey but lotion and drinking water helps with that. My legs are scarred from cuts.
I went on a spree trying everything I could find intended to help with bruising. Nothing made a big difference, but arnica gel seems to help my bruises heal faster. I hope the efforts I’m making to take care of my skin will help in the long run. It’s already too late for the blood brushes and skin tearing.
