A black eye…. Yes, it’s not a pleasant sight.Moreover, it does not matter how this annoyance happened. You bumped into a door, accidentally stepped on a rake or a mop, or maybe something else unexpected happened. In general, the fact is obvious, or more accurately, it is on the face. The question is how to quickly resolve this matter. It is not an easy task, but you can cope with this trouble. Yes, not instantly, not in one day, just speed up the recovery process.
First aid
Everyone knows from childhood: if you hit yourself, apply pressurecold. This method is still the most effective way to prevent a bruise. It does not help in all cases, but sometimes it saves. Moreover, you do not need to look for a metal object or ice. At least take a bag of frozen vegetables out of the freezer and apply it. In this particular case, the main thing is cold.
Medications
The cold didn't help or they just couldn't do it right awayapply (or didn’t think of it – it doesn’t matter), and now a blue-violet spot is spreading under the eye – there is a bruise after all. Now you need to resort to medications in order to reduce the time it takes for the bruise to naturally disappear. Well-known remedies – ointments, for example, “Heparin”, “Troxivazin”, “Rescuer”, “First Aid”. Yes, they can be used, but keep in mind that such remedies should be used in the first hours (maximum in the first day) after the injury. Then it will be useless. No, you can smear your bruise with such remedies on the second and third days, it will disappear, but you are unlikely to be able to speed up the process. Using creams with additives of snake venom, bodyagi and chaga – this is what you need in this situation. You can also ask at the pharmacy for an ointment containing leech saliva – also an excellent remedy. The only caveat: using such remedies under the eye can lead to an unexpected effect. An allergy will appear in the form of peeling or redness, itching and rashes. It is hard to even call it an allergy, rather you just “burned” your delicate skin. Therefore, you need to act like this - smear the ointment, walk for 20 minutes and wash it off, then smear it with baby cream with chamomile or thyme. It is even better to use cream with coltsfoot - it can also relieve the effects of a blow. There is another remedy. It is quite new, but effective - “Bruise Off”. By the way, this cream also has a toning effect. So, perhaps, this drug will help you in an unforeseen situation. In general, you can remove an unsightly spot with medications. Just use them immediately after the blow, this is the only way you will get the desired effect.
Folk remedies
Our ancestors didn't have pharmacies at hand, butbut fields, meadows and forests were always nearby. Therefore, they tried to help themselves with natural infusions and ointments. One of the most effective methods has always been considered a bodyagi infusion. It can be made at home, and the raw materials can be bought at a pharmacy. But few people know that a bruise can be removed with sour cream and burdock root. Everything is simple here: for 1 tablespoon of sour cream (just buy real, village, thick) you need to put a teaspoon of ground burdock root and mix. You need to apply this homemade ointment to the bruise every 60 minutes, and you need to keep it for about 10 minutes, and then wash it off with warm water. Another option from past years is to use plantain and lemon. This recipe has been known since the times of the Ancient East. Crushed plantain leaves (dried ones are also possible, but it is still better to take fresh ones) must be mixed with lemon juice. The proportions should be such that the result is a gruel. After applying this mixture to the bruise, wait 5 minutes and wash it off, then apply moisturizer or baby cream. You can't keep the mixture under your eye for longer: the lemon acid can corrode the delicate skin and cause further damage to your appearance. Yes, you can find a remedy that will remove the bruise and provide real help, but if time is lost, then nothing will help. In this case, there is only one way out - take sick leave and stay at home. Or use cosmetics and go to work with an unperturbed look, holding your head up proudly! Don't pay attention to the looks of others. Or, at least, pretend that you absolutely don't care, and this fact does not spoil your mood at all! We recommend reading:
