Everytime I work I immediately get large painful bruises on my knees, just under the kneecap, from floorwork onstage and when I go low during LDs.
First, is there some trick to minimize this? Like, I have been doing moves where when kneeling I extend my toes to be flush against the floor, perhaps if I kept on the balls of my foot only it would be better? Or something... or are 'soft' knees normal for a new dancer, that will toughen up the more I work?
Second, what can I do to make them fade faster? Poultices, creams, massage, anything?
Third, what's the best thing to cover these bruises? I have just been using my face concealer, but it seems ill-suited to the task. Also nabbed some leg makeup yesterday, but it was from a dollar store so I really don't expect it to be very good. Have heard mentions of Sally Hansen's stuff and DermaBlend but I can't recall in what context- I need something VERY heavy that'll stay put and won't break the bank, recs?
