I'm quite prone to bruising because of EDS....any tips on how to reduce the look of bruises? Ideally I'd like to prevent them. But it's too late for that today. haha

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Check out Vitamin K/search vitamin think and bruises. Many creams have it, but most mix it in as a minor ingredient. Strimedix-K Spider Veins Treatment is a good quality product that's high in vit K. It may be worth trying.

Aww, sad! I hoping some of these tips will work...if not, guess living with it is the only option. haha. At least bruises are colorful!
Heat will increase circulation and hasten breakdown of red cells causing this

Really? I'd never heard that! I have some witch hazel. I'll have to give it a go.
@PiperMckenna It has something to do with the astringent...my college roommate told me this and I did not believe her at all but it works...
@thinktwice Hmmm, I guess it makes sense. My sister swears it cured her of her acne. Maybe a similar deal.
@PiperMckenna lol when I was in college, we used it for everything...and yes, even acne!
