Why Does Skin Bruise More Easily After 50—and How Can You Help Strengthen It?

You may notice a dark mark on your forearm and have no idea where it came from. Perhaps you lightly bumped into a table, carried a grocery bag, or simply went about your normal day.

Yet the bruise looks much more dramatic than the impact that caused it.

If this has started happening more often as you have gotten older, you are not alone. Easy bruising is common in mature skin, particularly on the forearms, hands, and lower legs. While most bruises are harmless, frequent bruising can make you feel self-conscious and may leave you wondering whether your skin has suddenly become more fragile.

The good news is that understanding why it happens can help you care for your skin more effectively.
