How to remove a black eye in one day at home

First aid for a black eye

The sooner you start fighting the bruise, the more chances you have of winning.

1. As soon as the unpleasant stain began to appear, apply cold to it… This can be an ice pack or a cold compress. You need to keep it for at least 15 minutes, but from time to time take it away from the eyelid, otherwise you will overcool the eye, and this is also useless.

2. If your first aid kit contains bruise remedy, be sure to use it. Such ointments dissolve bruises and bruises well.

3. You can also use a cosmetic gel that contains leech extract.

Despite the fact that bee venom is popularly considered a good cure for hematomas, not worth it apply it for bruises.

• Badyagi powder help get rid of a small bruise. Dissolve a small amount in 1 tbsp. l. water, wrap in a thin layer of gauze and make compresses. Several treatments a day will be sufficient.

• Salted onion, no matter how strange it may seem to you, it can be used to treat hematomas. Grind a small onion into a gruel, add 1 tbsp. l. salt and wait a couple of minutes for the onion to drain the juice. Drain it and wrap the pulp in cheesecloth. Apply the compress to the bruise for a few minutes. Little pleasant, but there will be a lot of sense.

• Potato starch – a more gentle remedy. Gruel from starch and water should be applied to the hematoma and washed off after half an hour. Repeat the procedure after a couple of hours. Starch won’t heal the bruise, but it will lighten it.

Both badyaga and onions dry the skin and can irritate the mucous membranes of the eyes. Therefore, compresses with them can be kept no longer than 5-7 minutes.

But such ointments will help quickly only if you start using it immediately after a bruise. Then in 12 hours one memory will remain from the bruise.
