10 Ways to Get Rid of a Hickey ...

So you got too close in the heat of the moment, and now you’ve got a big hickey that you can’t seem to cover… well, hickeys can take a while to heal, because they are caused by the blood vessels close to the skin breaking, and the blood escaping to cause a bright red mark. Fear not, though! Here are my top ten ways to get rid of a hickey!

1. Ice!

This works best if you do it as soon as the hickey has been made, but will work up to a few hours later. The ice will freeze the blood vessels, preventing blood from rushing into your hickey, and minimizing the mark.

      Hey Amy,
      Well I usually use ice cubes, frozen spoons, toothpaste and a concealer. And for added protection, I throw on a scarf as well. Doesn’t the bandaid get you extra attention?

    tea bag and concealer work magic. I would rather stay away from tuna. Does it really work well?

      Hey Fatima,
