How to Get Rid of a Hickey - 5 Best Tips

Passionate kissing can result in unaesthetic hickeys, wouldn’t you agree? You’ve probably had more than one throughout the years, dear escorts. Some of you might not mind them, but other ladies and gentlemen do. Nothing can be more frustrating than meeting one of your friends at a café while you sport one or more hickeys varying in size. Especially if it’s summertime and you can’t just wear a massive scarf or a muffler to hide them. Can you imagine the sweat?

Fortunately, there are other, more pleasant ways to deal with this issue. Today’s post is all about the tips and tricks to do exactly that. Sit tight and let’s begin.

Taking the massage route

Relaxing sore muscles after a hard day’s or night’s work with a massage feels like heaven on earth. Turns out, applying gentle pressure on the parts of your body that sport a hickey or more is effective. Maybe not for everyone, but why not try it for yourself and see what happens?

Go visit a professional and tell them what’s it’s all about. Don’t worry, they won’t tell your friends or relatives about it. Massages help a lot when they’re done in areas where there’s been an injury. How? By breaking the bad blood there.

You can try it on your own, if you feel confident enough. Just apply the gentle pressure we’ve been talking about on that area that’s been affected. Next up: massage in a circle beginning from the center, then going all the way outward. During the said motions, use either a cold compress or a hot one.

Apply professional makeup

Makeup can work wonders on hickeys. Look through your trusted kit and see if you find your favorite concealer. Is it there? Great, apply some where the passion wound is and don’t forget to use your trusted foundation, too. But make sure it’s the kind of foundation that’s used for stage lights, hiding tattoos, or even covering scars. Also, go for the option that is lighter than your skin tone. This type of foundation can reduce dark redness like a charm.

When you’ve covered everything up, blend it extra well. There, no hickeys whatsoever!

Use your medicine cabinet

Do you have a cream that contains vitamin K? Apply some on that annoying hickey. Vitamin E is also good. Peppermint oils and mint-based lotions are another great option. As are aspirin and coffee, but don’t use them at the same time.

Put your imagination to the test

Getting creative when it comes to covering hickeys is your next best bet. If it happens in the summer months, go for a thin, but not transparent, chic scarf. Wearing your hair down works, too, but only if it’s long.

Should you end up with a love bite when it’s cold outside, we recommend turtlenecks, sweaters paired with a muffler, or hoodies.

Grab the nearest ice pack

As soon as you notice a hickey somewhere on your body, go to the kitchen and open your fridge. Take out one ice pack and place it on the area where it’s most needed. Just remember that you need to do this within 12 hours of spotting the problem. That way, your blood vessels will be repaired as quickly as possible.

Don’t have ice packs at the ready? You can opt for a metal spoon. Whatever you choose, though, you’ll have to give your circulation a helping hand. Grab a warm towel and hold it on the hickey. Warm compresses work just as well.
