How to get rid of a black eye?

[PatrickRory]

I was playing hockey earlier tonight and I got hit from behind and went face first into the boards, my eyes all swollen and I have ice on it but its already bruising. is there nothing I can do to help it heal faster?

[Reeses-pieces777]

try ice. take vitamin c which helps repair tissues / skin and broken blood vessels (which you have) to deal with the pain-take arnica montana oral drops/ tablets or apply a traumeel cream on there which has arnica montana (herb/ homeopathic product) with chamomile. also take b complex vitamins to help with circulation and healing/ red blood cell health. and get plenty of rest until it heals over hope this helps

Awesome, il try to find these things....i mean the vitamin c and the b vitamins are easy enough to find but I'm not sure if I have that herb cream, stuff haha thank you though that was good

You could always try cover up, I know that sounds stupid but it does help cover up stuff. I don't think there is a way to speed up healing but until then, try using some foundation or something to at least hide it.

Wytch Hazel is really good for bruising, also try Arnica for bumps and bruises.
