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.
In fact, tea tree oil may be a better alternative to conventional skin treatments. Tea tree oil is an excellent treatment for acne. One study found tea tree oil to be just as effective as benzoyl peroxide, but without the negative side effects like redness and peeling.
