How to get rid of love bites

Love bites are deep red, blue purple marks that appear on your skin after you turn little bit naughty during your intimate time. Though you love your love bite but it looks so awkward when someone pointed towards them so here we are with some tips that can help you to get rid of love bites effectively or at least hide them from the others eye.

Tips to get rid of love bites/hickeys

  • There are many remedies that can help you to get rid from love bites/ hickeys some of them are mentioned here which can be used to treat your love bites effectively.
  • Place a hot water bottle (not too much hot) or warm compress on the area of the hickey for 10-20 minutes, you can also place a towel soaked in hot water on that area but that method can work out only after the 48 hours you get hickey or love bite.
  • Rub ice cubes wrapped in paper towel or a cold spoon on Love bite as soon as possible you get them for at least 15-20 minutes. Repeat this process at regular intervals will reduce the swelling and lessen down the mark as well as pain. Don’t place ice directly on your skin.
  • Take a soft bristle toothbrush (or comb) and start brushing the hickey gently that will stimulate the blood circulation, causing the marks to disappear. Applying too much pressure on that area can make it worse so comb it very softly. Do this for at least five to ten minutes and apply a cold compress after it only for ten minutes. Repeat the process as required.
  • Find a small cylindrical object like lipstick cap or pen cap and place it directly on top of your hickey and press it hard on it but do not hurt yourself. Twist the cap on love bite while pressing so your skin twists around it. Try to get a half or even a whole twist of the cap for ten to twenty seconds and then release. Repeat this process for 10 minutes at regular intervals of time.
  • Apply peppermint oil or any other mint product like lotion, toothpaste to the area of your hickey/love bite. Mint will tickle your skin for sometime but once tickling stop remove the toothpaste with a warm damp towel. Too much repletion of this method can irritate your skin.
  • Coin method can also help to get rid from love bite mark but its little tricky so use it carefully otherwise the mark will get deeper. First stretch your mark with the help of your two fingers then with the edge of the coin scrape the mark in outward movement this will break up and push around the blood from the mark to make it less dark and easier for your body to absorb.
  • You can also hide these marks with some smart make up tricks. Use green-tinted concealer to hide the marks s it neutralize the red tones of the skin. You can also apply foundation that's a little lighter than your skin tone directly on the mark and all around it to get an even skin tone effect or brushing the area with a little translucent powder can also give you even skin tone.

If all the above methods are failed (though it’s not possible) or you do not have time to apply any of the above method then cover the marks smartly wear a high necked or a turtle neck shirt or cover it with scarf. You can also hide the mark with a smart hairstyle too
