Nobody believes that old, `I walked into a door ` story anymore, but however you get that black eye, you want to get rid of it as soon as possible.
- Apply an ice pack for the first 24 to 48 hours. Use crushed ice or 10 minutes every 2 hours.
- Avoid aspirin: it is an anticoagulant and you may find you have a worse black eye than you started out with. Instead, use acetaminophen for the pain.
- Don’t blow your nose, is it can increase the swelling and the changes of infection.
- Use some concealer for the week that it takes for the eye to recover.
