And speaking of thin skin…

Protective Arm Sleeves & Leg Sleeves For Thin Skin & More 

Unfortunately, thin skin is unavoidable. As we age, our skin changes and grows thinner. At the same time, our blood vessels become more fragile. This means we bruise more and our thin skin tears more easily, necessitating skin guards – some kind of leg or arm protector for thinning skin. But here’s some great news for those of you with thin skin. 

Protective sleeves for thin skin work! You won’t need to wear long sleeve shirts or jackets in the warm weather any more. And once you have leg and arm protectors, you don’t have to be as hyper-aware of your surroundings. You can worry less overall, about the damage things around you could do to your skin. Skin and arm protectors made for thin skin, like our Kinship Arm Skin Protection Sleeves, can give you peace of mind throughout your day.

Wound Care

Whether you have thin skin or not, everybody gets cuts and wounds. We can all benefit from skin guards; leg and arm protectors can keep you safe and healthy. If you want to keep a wound on your arm protected from the outside world for example, an arm protector is a great solution. It hides your wound and can prevent infection. 

It may also help lessen the pain you feel when the wound is left uncovered. An arm or leg sleeve keeps the wound dressing firmly in place. It also applies pressure to the injured area, which may keep your scarring to a minimum. The protective sleeve is comfortable so it won’t irritate your wound any further as it helps you heal. 

Bone and Muscle Support 

Beyond thin skin, if you have a sprain or soft tissue damage, our skin guards and protective sleeves can provide support. They support fragile tissue, ligaments, tendons, and joints. They also minimize post-injury and surgery healing times. The flexibility of skin protection sleeves means they can even support tendons and muscles during physical activities like exercise. 

Prevent Swelling

Edema and Lymphedema can cause swelling in the arms and legs. Arm protectors and leg protectors in the form of protective sleeves can provide gentle but firm compression around the entire arm or leg, improving blood flow through the veins. You can reduce the swelling caused by fluid buildup, improve lymphatic drainage, promote blood flow, and relieve pain by wearing these leg and arm protectors. 

How to Use Arm Protectors & Leg Protective Sleeves

Protective sleeves are made with moisture-wicking, breathable fabric to wick away sweat throughout the day, making them perfect to wear outside or in warm weather. 

The arm protective sleeve in particular can be worn in two ways:

  1. Over the hand for extra protection. Simply place your thumb through the thumb hole, and it can fit snugly over your wrist and hand all day.
  2. Above the hand. If you’d like more flexibility, you can roll the fabric at the end of the sleeve once or twice to hide the thumb hole and leave your hand free.

To choose the correct size, measure around the largest part of your upper arm. Use that measurement to select from the sizes we have available (S – XL). If your measurement falls between sizes, order a size up for guaranteed comfort. 

The leg protective sleeve is designed to pull up just below the knee. Nice and straightforward. Our skin guards, thin skin protection sleeves and other protective sleeves are quick and easy to use, and cost-effective. You can reuse them and they are machine washable. Not only are they made to be durable, but with reuse, they’ll last you even longer!

Protective Sleeves for Thin Skin & Skin Tears FAQs

What does a protective sleeve do?

Protective sleeves protect your skin from cuts, bruises and tears. They also compress your arm or leg to provide swelling reduction and improved blood circulation, and can block harmful UV rays.

What’s the best way to provide your skin with protection from skin tears and bruising?

There are various methods to provide protection from skin tears and bruising. Our protective sleeves are, in our opinion, the best option on the market.

Do long sleeves protect from the sun? 

No – in many cases they don’t. If they’re designed to block the sun’s UV rays like our protective sleeves are, yes. But if not, they probably don’t protect you completely.

Can I reuse these protective sleeves?

Yes, these sleeves are designed to be reusable. Just machine wash them when you’re finished and you can use them again!
