10 Reasons Why Women Over 60 Are Wearing Short Sleeves Again With This "Cover & Rebuild" Arm Foundation

You barely touched anything. Maybe it was a door frame, the dog or the garden, but soon there's a dark purple mark on your forearm, and it'll be there for weeks.

So out come the long sleeves, even in the middle of summer.

Ask a doctor and you hear the same thing: it's just age, it's thin skin, it runs in the family, and nothing can be done.

The bruise creams fade one mark at a time, and concealer only hides them for an evening.

This foundation does both jobs at once. It covers the marks in seconds, and it does something most bruise creams don't: it helps prevent the next one.

1It Covers Purple, Red And Brown Marks

These marks change colour as they heal. Purple at first, red at the edges a few days later, then a brown stain that lingers for weeks.

This formula contains colour-correcting pigments that neutralise purple, red and brown at once, so one layer covers a new mark and an old stain on the same arm.

The result is even, natural-looking skin from elbow to fingertips.

2It Goes On Gently And Stays Put

Regular body makeup has to be rubbed in, rubs off on sleeves, and needs scrubbing to remove, on skin that tears from almost nothing.

This formula blends in with a few light strokes of the fingertips and sets to a transfer-resistant finish that holds through summer heat.

It stays on your arms, not your blouse, and comes off with warm water. No rubbing, no scrubbing.

3It Makes Your Arms Look Like Yours Again

Purple marks and brown stains on the forearms and backs of the hands make arms look years older than the rest of you.

This foundation's skin-like coverage evens out every mark in a single layer.

The result is smooth, even arms in seconds. The arms you had before the marks.

4It Looks Like Bare Skin, Even Up Close

Arms are seen up close: across the table, holding a hand, in family photos.

This lightweight formula blurs marks with a natural finish that never looks painted on.

It looks like bare skin, just without the marks.

5It Protects Your Arms From Further Sun Damage

Years of sun are one of the main reasons the skin on the forearms and hands has thinned, and arms are the one part you can't keep out of it, in the garden or outside in summer.

This foundation has broad-spectrum SPF built in, so every layer shields your arms while you're outside.

So instead of just covering the marks, you're stopping the damage from getting worse every day you wear it.

6It Will Actually Improve Your Arms Over Time

As skin gets thinner, the collagen that cushions the tiny vessels underneath breaks down, so the slightest bump leaves a mark.

This foundation contains vitamin C, the nutrient skin uses to rebuild collagen. Wearing it is like giving your arms a skin treatment all day.

In a 12-week study on people over 60 with these exact marks, each person used vitamin C on one arm and a cream without it on the other. The vitamin C arm ended up with fewer marks and thicker skin.

The result: you cover them on day one, and fewer new ones show up over the weeks.

7It Helps Today's Bruise Fade Faster

Even with stronger skin, a hard bump can still leave a mark, and on thin skin a fresh one can take weeks to fade.

That's why this formula contains Nordic arnica, grown in the mountains of Norway. Arnica is the plant women have relied on for generations to help bruises fade, and here it works on every fresh mark while the foundation covers it.

The result: a new mark is covered from the first day, and gone sooner.

8It's Made For Thin Skin And Blood Thinners

Blood thinners, a daily aspirin and prednisone all make skin bruise more easily, and stopping them isn't an option.

This foundation goes on the skin, adds nothing to your pill box, and is fragrance-free and gentle enough for the backs of your hands.

Coverage and care, without changing a thing about your medication.

9It Uses Ingredients Your Skin Already Knows

Many body lotions and makeups are packed with fragrance, fillers and long ingredient lists that thin, sensitive skin doesn't need.

This formula is built on a short list of ingredients: Nordic arnica to help fresh marks fade, vitamin C to help skin rebuild collagen, and hydrating plant oil to keep dry, crepey skin soft.

The result is calm, comfortable skin, and ingredients you'd recognise on the label working on your arms all day.

100-day risk-free money-back guarantee

10100-Day Risk-Free Trial

Many women have been told nothing can be done, and have tried cream after cream with little to show for it.

That's why this foundation comes with a 100-day risk-free trial, plus an exclusive discount.

If you don't love how your arms look, you'll receive a full refund. No questions asked.

I was tired of people asking what happened to my arms. My granddaughter, a lady at church, even a nurse once. I'd stopped wearing short sleeves altogether. Now I put this on in the morning, it takes a minute, and nobody asks anymore. I'd forgotten what that felt like.

My son got married in July and I'd spent weeks looking for a dress with long sleeves. In the end I wore the sleeveless one I actually liked. I covered my arms that morning, and in every photo they looked like my own arms again. Nobody could tell I had anything on.

My doctor said it was just age and nothing could be done. I'd tried every bruise cream on the shelf. I started wearing this every day for the cover, but after two months I noticed I was getting far fewer new marks. My arms haven't looked this good in years.

If you made it to the end, you deserve arms you're happy to show again!
