How do you get rid of a hickey?

Answer by  patti (29325)

A "hickey" is the result of blood escaping the vessels much like it does in the case of a bruise. What you see is the result of broken capillaries. The blood that shows through the skin dies and is eventually carried away by white blood cells. In the meantime, use a cover-up make-up.

You will find as you get older that hickeys are childish and not worth the time. You can cover it up with cover up or foundation for now.

Apply an ice pack to the area for 10 minutes at a time. Between ice applications, gently massage the area to break up the pooled blood. Continue alternating between ice and massage for 3 applications. Cover with makeup and turtlenecks until gone.

Only time can really get rid of a hickey. You can however cover it up in the meantime and it will go away on it's own. Try putting blush or foundation over it. Get a shade that matches your skin color as close as possible.
