I found something that actually helps bruises heal faster and I had the perfect reason to test it out. I had a student accidentally run into me in the hallway, and my glasses hit right into my cheek leaving a pretty noticeable bruise under my eye. I wanted to get ahead of the swelling and discoloration, so I tried Boiron Arnicare Bruise Gel and it totally worked. It’s made from fresh Arnica plants and helps fade bruises quickly while easing pain and swelling. It absorbs fast, feels cool on contact, and doesn’t leave behind any sticky or greasy residue. I love that it’s fragrance-free, dye-free, and paraben-free. It is safe enough to use daily as part of your skincare routine. I also took these Arnica tablets to speed up the healing! 
Highly recommend if you’re trying to get rid of a bruise faster! LTKBeauty
