5 effective ways to hide and totally remove the love bite (hickey)

Mom gonna be at home anytime and you don’t have time to cover it up. Chances are, you are frantically searching the Internet in hopes of discovering a way to hide that hickey from your neck. Lucky for you, you have come to the right place.

Do Immediately!

1) Apply an icepack to the hickey. Do this as soon as possible after receiving the hickey :p. You can wrap some ice in a towel, use a pre-frozen ice pack, or put a spoon in the freezer for a few minutes. Gently hold the cold compress to the skin for several minutes (up to 20 minutes, if it doesn’t feel too uncomfortable), remove the compress for several minutes, and then apply it again. A hickey is simply a bruise and like any other bruise, ice will help to reduce the swelling and control the color. Do not keep the ice or cold compress on your body for any longer than twenty (20) minutes at a time

2) What about the toothbrush or comb method. Many people swear by it, but it’s important to remember that a hickey is a bruise, and most bruises just take time to disappear, so don’t expect a miracle.
Lightly brush the hickey and the area around it with a stiff-bristled toothbrush or a comb. Doing this breaks up the blood clot and gets circulation going again. Wait about 15 minutes. The redness and swelling will spread, but will be less obvious after about 15 minutes.

Apply a cold compress, as above.

3) Conceal the hickey with makeup, turtleneck, a collared shirt or blouse, or a scarf (appropriate for the weather of course), around your neck. If you have long hair, style it so that it hangs down over the hickey. Frequently check the positioning of your shirt or your hair to make sure the hickey is still covered.

4) Eat healthy foods. A healthy diet can help any bruise heal more quickly. Increase your intake of vitamin P (also called bioflavonoids) and Vitamin K cream (aloe vera and vitamin E don’t hurt either)

5) Apply heat to a hickey that lasts more than a couple days. Saturate a washcloth in hot water, wring it out, and hold it to your skin for several minutes. Reheat the washcloth with more water as necessary.
