1 If your bruise is causing pain, take an over-the-counter pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve). Read and follow all instructions on the label. 2  If desired, apply a natural product directly to the bruise.  Witch hazel may help heal damaged veins.
Also a big fan of linoleic oils! I have dry, dehydrated and acne-prone skin. From my own experience, it seems that linoleic oils such as hemp seed, rosehip (especially), passionfruit, and evening primose have helped my skin out the most when it comes to evening out the tone and diminishing active acne and scarring.
Castor oil is rich in Ricinoleic acid (6), which fights off the acne-causing bacteria. It effectively penetrates the skin layers, making it an excellent remedy for acne. To use castor oil for skin: 1  Wash your face with warm water, as this will help open your pores.ere is a step-by-step guide to its use. 1  Dilute 2 teaspoons of castor oil in 4 teaspoons of coconut oil. 2  Alternatively, you can wash castor leaves in water and soak them in coconut oil for few hours, and then heat gently. 3  Apply over the affected area and cover with a cotton cloth.
