For starters I am female. I got hit in the face 2days ago and now have an unbelievably obvious black eye. Its still REALLY dark and I have to see my grandma tomorrow and go out with friends on the weekend.
Im trying my hardest to reduce the swelling with ice packs and face towels drenched in cold water, sleeping with my head raised, im just having an enormously hard time covering it up (even with makeup) and need to get it to heal ASAP.Tips on disguising and healing a black eye?
There's a cream called hirudoid, which helps to heal bruising, otherwise, just be cool about it. Faces heal quickly.Tips on disguising and healing a black eye?
Why are you trying to hide it? Let it show and maybe you'll get the help you need.
Yes it usually fades to yellowish tinges after awhile. Just keep putting ice on it and it should fade within a week.
IF it has been more than 24 hours since the injury switch over from the ice packs to a warm moist soak for the bruising. A wash cloth with really warm water placed over the are will open the blood vessles and help clear out the bruise. If you are able to take asprin, that will also help since asprin will thin the blood and make it easier to get the bruise out as well. The rest is time.
try not breathin heavy through your nose. DO NOT BLOW YOUR NOSE. This pressure cause they black eye to puff out heaps.
It will calm down after 5 days. now worries.
Leave it alone, let it rest as much as possible, don't touch it
Sorry, there is no way to cover it up (or make it heal faster) without someone looking at you twice and figuring out you have a blackeye.
Ice will only help the swelling but it will not get rid of the blood trapped under the skin (which is why it is dark). You have to wait for your body to absorb it.
Don't try to hide it, just make up some ridiculous story about fighting off a stampede of rhinocerous' being chased by a guy in tighty whities who was singing a song about a sparrow that flew into a church where the pastor was preaching about aliens who came to this earth in serach of the perfect girl with a black eye who shared a lot in common with you who fought off a stampede of rhinocerous'....
They'll never ask again!
