Who of us have never
had bruises? Large or small, they are not
nice to have. There’s
nothing more frustrating than not being able to
wear a beautiful dress because of the huge deep
blue bruise on the ankle. If you don’t
like the idea of showing
your blue-violet-red chameleon bruise to the whole
world then you need a quick method of getting rid of
it.
The first twenty minutes after the impact blood is spreading the damaged vessels. So at this point the first thing you should do is to apply a cold compress on the bruised area. At low temperature blood vessels narrow down which, in turn, slows the blood flow down. If you’ve done that quickly enough, after a few hours the measures can be taken for resorption of hematoma. For that, in contrary, you should apply heat. You can use a heating pad or a bag with warm sand or salt.
However, if you are unlucky enough to have a bruise on the face, which can create a big discomfort as even a good makeup can’t mask it completely, you can still try some professional methods of bruise removing. There are specific creams and gels on the market that tone the blood vessels and therefore accelerate the healing process. A professional massage can also be an effective tool when it comes to removing bruises. A quality massage improves the blood circulation, but remember it must always be done by a professional otherwise you are risking getting a few bruises more.
Talking about home remedies
to remove bruises quicker, consume more
products containing vitamin C like lemons or
cabbage. Cabbage also contains vitamin K. These
two vitamins help restoring blood vessels. Another
known method of removing bruises is iodine. Draw a
small iodine grid on the bruised area, preferably
before the night as by the morning it evaporates.
If a bruise disappears slowly you can partly mask
it with getting some tan.
However, the best medicine for getting rid of bruises is time.
