How To Get Rid Of A Hickey…

How to get rid of a hickey? What is a hickey? Can one get rid of hickey completely? Lots of questions (after a great make-out session!) Let’s dig into the answers…

Hickey is a bruise like any other and takes time to heal. Unfortunately, you can’t get rid of a hickey completely within a short time. But you don’t need to lose heart. There are ways to help it fade faster.

4 Ways To Get Rid Of A Hickey

·         Apply a cold compress at once for 20 minutes. Remove it for another 20 minutes. Apply again. This constricts your blood vessels and prevents the hickey from spreading.

·         If your hickey remains there for more than 2 days, apply warm and wet compress to reduce swelling or pain. Once you’ve constricted the blood vessels, apply heat to dilate them and encourage circulation. This flushes out the accumulated blood around the area. Moist heat is better than dry heat.

·         Wanna hide your hickey? Bring out your good old concealer from the make up box! Use a shade lighter than your skin. Apply over the hickey artfully and watch it vanish before your eyes! This is the quickest way to get rid of a hickey.

·         If nothing works, your turtle neck sweater will! If it’s summer, use a scarf. It makes a fashion statement and, at the same time, hides a hickey!

If you want to get rid of hickey, you must take immediate action. Just sitting around grieving over what has happened is useless. The more you delay, the more the hickey spreads. Remember, you can’t simply “wipe off” this bruise from your neck or whatever. So, you need to start treating it the earliest so that healing begins as soon as possible.

One quick, but weird way, of getting rid of a hickey is massaging it. What you exactly need to do is rub gently over the area where hickey has formed. It will disappear within a few days. But, massage works ONLY when you do it as soon as the hickey is formed. If you delay, forget about this method.

So, if you’re worried about your telltale love sign, stop. There are several ways on how to get rid of a hickey. And next time, tell your lover to be a little gentler while kissing! You wanna have a great kiss, not a great hickey, right?
