Skin after 60
Why Do You Bruise So Easily After 60?
By the Mouf team · Updated October 2026
Why everyday bumps leave marks now
As we get older, our skin gets thinner and loses some of the padding underneath it. The same bump that left nothing at 40 can leave a mark at 65.
That's why the forearms, the backs of the hands and the shins are where you notice it most: there's less cushioning there, and they're the parts that meet counter edges, car doors and furniture.
Why your lotion doesn't help
Most body lotions are made to moisturize dry skin. That's useful, but it's a different job from caring for skin that bruises easily.
For that, women have turned to a short list of ingredients for a very long time.
The three ingredients in Arnelle
- Arnica. The yellow mountain flower that bruise creams have been built around for generations.
- Vitamin K. A classic in creams for the look of bruises and dark marks.
- Calendula. A gentle flower extract that makes the cream soft and comforting on delicate skin.
Together, in one rich cream, they help bruises fade faster and help thin, fragile-looking skin look smoother and more even.
How to use it
- Twice a day: after your morning shower and before bed.
- A small amount on the forearms, the backs of your hands and your shins.
- Smooth it in until it soaks in. It starts rich and rubs in fine.
- Keep at it daily. Women tell us the difference shows within a couple of weeks.
Tip: keep one jar in the bathroom and one by the bed. That's exactly why most women choose Buy 1 Get 1 Free.

What women say about Arnelle
“Thin skin, finally something”
My skin has been thin for years and everything leaves a mark, the car door, the dog's leash, the kitchen drawer. I've tried plenty of lotions. This is the first cream that feels like it's made for it. My forearms look smoother and the marks look less angry.

“For the counter-edge marks”
I mark if I so much as brush the kitchen counter, and I never remember doing it. I've used this morning and night for three weeks. The marks on my forearms look softer and my arms look a lot more even than they did.
Carol B.
“Shins too”
I bang my shins on the bed frame and the dishwasher door constantly. I use it on my shins as well as my arms. Both look smoother and the marks are less noticeable.
Cheryl M.
“Easy to use”
Twist the lid, a dab on each arm, rub it in. That's it. Three weeks in, my skin feels softer and the marks I get from the cat look a lot less noticeable.
Evelyn R.
“Worth it for me”
At 78 my skin marks from nothing at all. This doesn't change my age, but my forearms look smoother and the marks look softer. I feel better about my arms.
