How can I get rid of bruises?

I am a young woman who works at an ice cream shop during the summer. I mainly scoop ice cream and I’m right handed. Most of the time ice cream reaches the bottom of the tub very fast since it’s a very popular place in our town, so I have to use more strength to scoop out the ice cream which I lean my forearms on the tub and causes these horrific bruises. It’s not like I can turn up the temperature so it’s easier to scoop. I work out to keep my muscles toned so it’s not about strength. I don’t wanna look like I’ve been in terrible fight with my arms so I’ve tried essential oils that help with bruises, but I don’t notice a difference. I would also try the method to get rid of hickeys but on my amrs, but it’s too painful and it just scratches up my skin. Is there any tips and tricks from people who also worked at ice cream shops who also struggle with this problem?
