Treat bruises on your skin by limiting the bleeding. You can do this by cooling the area with ice packs – place ice cubes or frozen vegetables in a plastic bag, wrap in a towel, and press over the area. |

MASSAGE THE AREA TO BREAK UP THE BLOOD AND USE COLD COMPRESSES; LIKE ICE PACKS |

arnica is said to help bruising disappear. If it's an old bruise heat will increase circulation and hopefully help move it, cold compress if it's recent. |

Witch Hazel will bring the bruising out quickly, then cover with foundation. How did you get a black eye? |

don't laugh but this might help, but it's for hickys
get a spoon and put it in the freezer for a while, then rub in on the area
or get a comb and rub in on the area

I heard a steak works. But who really wants a steak on their face? |

Put makeup on it.A little base on and some eyeshadow.Even some powder will do the trick.If you don't go near the person or thing that gave you the black eye,then you should be fine.As long as you keep taking it off at night and on in the morning and use oil free makeup.That way you won't have pimples to worry about. |

oooh, how did you get it?
when I get a bruise I never seem to get to the black stage, first it goes yellow then I seem to stick at blue
I've heard arnica's a whizz but don't apply it on broken skin, it smarts |

If you get to it quick obviously an ice pack will help. After this try Arnica - you can get it from the chemist as a gel or cream and it reduces bruising quite effectively |

comfry leaves. soaked in warm water placed on the bruise will draw the bruise out and is usualy gone in about 8 hrs if kept repeating with new comfry leaves and warm water. |

If very very recent, like within one hour or two, cold compresses and ice packs.
If over several hours old, hot compresses.
The theory is early on, you want to keep blood from seeping into the tissue. Later on, you want to unclot it and get it moving back out of the tissue. |

If you massage a bruise it goes away faster. |

Ice, arnica or calendula herbal cream is good - and the arnica tablets are good too - buy in chemist over counter |

use arnica - get from boots or chemist (maybe chemist) or supermarket.
Its so fast that by tomorrow the brusing will be hardly noticeable. |

Sounds disgusting, put vinegar on some make up pads and let it soak in. It wll bring the bruisin out quicker |

Make - up helps to hide it. Take lots of vitamins too that'll help to get rid of it. |

Use witch hazel gel or lotion from all good chemists, or you can use Arnica cream. |

Take a fine tooth comb and run over the bruise lightly, the fine teeth of the comb will break up the blood vessels and it will disappear. |
