Bruises can ruin your otherwise flawless appearance. Fortunately, there are a few makeover tricks that can hide them effectively for a few hours.

How to Reduce a Bruise

• Before covering up a bruise, you should administer measures to reduce the intensity of the damage caused. Here are a few home remedies that can help.
• Apply an ice pack to the bruised area. This would reduce the redness and discoloration caused by the injury.
• Keep the area elevated if there is swelling. This would reduce fluid retention and also alleviate pain and discomfort.
• Apply a pure Aloe Vera gel to the bruised area 2 to 3 times a day. This would speed up the healing process.
• Apply serums containing Vitamin C and Vitamin K. Both these vitamins are essential in promoting wound healing and skin restoration.
• Drink plenty of water to naturally promote quick healing. This would also reduce swelling and keep the skin moist.
• Eat a nutrient-rich diet and add fruits like pineapples, cherries, apples, blackberries, and lemons to your daily food regimen.
• Apply a heating pad if the bruise is painful. Alternatively, you can wash the bruised area in warm water to get relief from pain and discomfort.
• Avoid exposure to sunlight. Excessive heat can further irritate the bruised skin.
