How to Get Rid of Hickies in 5 Minutes

Step 1
Use a spoon and an ice cube to cool the hickey. Take the ice cube and rest it in the spoon. Keep firm hold of the ice cube so it doesn't fall out of the spoon.
Step 2
Holding the back of the spoon to the hickey, twist the spoon counterclockwise for ten seconds. Then, twist the spoon clockwise for ten seconds. The round shape of the spoon should fit exactly to the hickey and the cold pressure should alleviate the some of the redness.
Step 3
Use eye drops to literally "get the red out." The eye drops send red blood vessels and capillaries away from the surface of the eye, causing less eye irritation and swelling. The good news is it also works on your skin. Apply several drops on the hickey and allow it to sit for one minute, then rinse it off with cool water.
Step 4
At this point, the hickey should be almost invisible. If you can still see it easily, repeat Steps 1 through 3 again until the hickey is almost gone.
Step 5
Apply concealer for a finishing touch. Gently pat concealer over your hickey to blend the remaining red color into the rest of your skin. Continue to apply concealer throughout the day, as it may rub off with time.

  1. The peppermint essential oil worked great in about 10 minutes I noticed it had taken away a lot of the bruise. Tonight it is still there but definitely not even close to the color it was this morning! (I got it last night and woke up with it). I use peppermint everyday for migraines and muscle tightness.
