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.
To use the coconut oil externally, cleanse your skin with a mild cleansing agent. Then apply a small amount of oil to the skin as you would a moisturizer. This treatment is best done at night, so the oil can absorb into the skin for an extended period. You may also want to use the oil internally by taking 1 tablespoon by mouth with each meal. Coconut oil is one of the most effective options for naturally healing acne. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you.
