Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- Toothbrush
- Cold Compress (ice pack)

Step 1
The first step to getting rid of your Hickey is to obtain the proper supplies. You will need a soft bristle toothbrush and some kind of cold compress. This can be an ice pack or cold towel.
-
Step 2
Begin by brushing the Hickey with the toothbrush firmly. When you're brushing the Hickey make sure to do it in a circular motion so the blood begins to circulate in the bruise. It helps if you stretch your skin while your brushing the bruise.
-
Step 3
Once you've brushed the bruise you're going to need to grab the cold compress immediately. The longer you wait to apply the compress to the Hickey, the more the bruise will spread.
-
Step 4
After you've applied the cold compress, hold it there in place for up to 10 minutes. Repeat all of these steps until the Hickey is gone.
