Question

what do i do to make it go away faster!!!!! i tried putting vinegar on it but it didn't seem to help much.......any advice. ir really want to wear them before my tan fades! :(

Answer 1

Try using a little cover-up and then some foundation. Make sure the cover-up you use is pink-based, as opposed to yellow. Yellow-ish cover-up   might make your bruise look a bit green and not cover it as well. Just make sure you don't get wet!

Answer 2

You can try putting a little bit of cover up on it, but it might look strange.

Answer 3

run a fine tooth comb over it. it helps to break up the blood clot. it'll go away fast. PROMISE!! <3

Answer 4

Put a banana peel on it.....serriously it works

Answer 5

put on fake tan or foundation 2 cover it =]

Answer 6

A bruise is a pool of blood in the tissue underneath the skin which forms due to broken blood vessel/capillaries resulting from an injury to that area. Unfortunately, it takes TIME to heal. It starts out very dark (black and bluish-purple, then fades to green and eventually yellow just before it fades completely. You can try applying ice packs to the injured/bruised area (only if it is a "recent injury") to try to reduce swelling, which in turn will help to keep it from getting any worse. Other wise about the only thing that will help would be to try to cover it up with a "derma blend" type make-up which would help to make it less noticeable. Hope this helps some... but really try not to worry so much about it. You are probably the only one that will really notice anyway. Everybody gets bruises from time to time!  

Answer 7

Ice will make it go away faster.

If it's a cosmetic thing you're worried about, just use makeup.
