1. Knowing How To Get Rid Of Hickeys Fast Ain't Easy

2. What could be more ideal, you had that smoking date
with that someone very special last evening. And today
you're cranked up for a big interview for a thrilling new
job possibility. Or perhaps not. Possibly it's a high school
reunion or an annual family event that can't be missed.
Or it could just be plans with a bunch of pals who you
know will never stop the teasing and interrogation.
Whatever the case, you jump out of your skin when you
realize it: last night's lingering love bit!

3. You have a hickey! Really? I'm afraid so. So, what are
you going to do about it? Some say there's nothing to be
done; you have to just grin and bear. We'll have none of
that. Yet, theories abound. And numerous strategies are
available. Which should you try?

4. Almost everyone recommends the cold spoon. Make
that an ice cold spoon. Placing it on the offending mark
is claimed to reduce the spread of the hickey. Some
though claim that it only makes it worse. Perhaps it's a
matter of personal physiology. You'd have to experiment
on yourself to know. Maybe better to experiment when
there's not anything important or pressing on tap for the
day. (Hey, you could even get the hickey on purpose, just
so as to experiment!)

5. There are also those who apparently can't distinguish
their neck from their teeth. There's a whole crazy bunch
of hickey alleviation techniques based on employing
dental hygiene resources. Particularly popular from this
category is to scrub the hickey with a tooth brush. The
thinking here is that it breaks up the clotting blood
(which is what a hickey is, in case you didn't know). The
idea is once you get the blood circulating the hickey
fades away. Also in the dental hygiene category is the
use of mint flavored toothpaste. It's supposed to be the
mint that actually does the magic, but hey if you're
going to be brushing your neck anyway? Why not? I say,
if none of that works, try whipping

6. your hickey into shape with some dental floss!

7. Less theatrical means to promote blood circulation lie in
the homely old true blue use of massage. It will circulate
the blood. If that's too vanilla for you, though, try the
coin method? This one is for all you masochists out
there. A bit out there, but it's supposed to work. Stretch
out the skin on which you have the hickey, using the
forefinger and thumb of one hand. In the other hand,
holding the coin, scrape at the hickey with the coin's
edge. You're trying to disperse the blood, so it's
important to do your scraping in a pattern that draws
the blood out from the center of the hickey, toward its
perimeter. Once you're done, don't freak out if you have
a red mark from the scraping. Did

8. I mention you're not actually supposed to scrape off the
skin? Well, you're not. And, if you didn't, the red mark
should clear up quickly after which you'll see a marked
improvement, to coin a phrase, (Sorry.)

9. Here's another option, useful for when the hickey is a bit
older. If it is at least 48 hours old, and it's only now you
need to get rid of it, warm compresses can be effective.
This is a good one, but also a tricky one. Your hickey
really does have to be minimum 48 hours old! (You do
know when you got it, right? This wasn't another of
those three day benders of yours?) If you use this
method too early, it is very likely to make your hickey a
whole lot worse. Don't play with fire, here.

10. However, when all is said and done, the fastest way to
get rid of hickeys is not actually to get rid of them at all,
but just get rid of the sight of them. The turtle neck
sweater is an old school classic for a very good reason; it
works! If you can get away with scarves, that's another
reliable classic. If the weather, though, will make such
choices a tad too suspicious or uncomfortable, there's
always make-up.

11. I haven't any experience with this, but my interior
designer says that a little green powered over the hickey
neutralizes its redness. This allows you to apply a flesh
tone that matches yours for an effective camouflage
approach.

12. There are indeed plenty of options. Which one you go
for will be a personal choice, possibly based as much on
timing needs and pain tolerance as good taste. Though,
good taste should never be underrated.

13. I've heard it said that, once bitten, twice shy. I wonder if
that's going to apply in your case. Well, whatever
happens, you know we're always here to help with your
cosmetic crises, at How to Get Rid of Hickeys Fast.
