While you can't completely get rid of a black eye in just 30 minutes, you can start the healing process and reduce the appearance of swelling and discoloration.
Here's how:
- Apply a cold compress: Wrap an ice pack or bag of frozen vegetables in a towel and apply it to the affected area for 10-20 minutes at a time. This will help reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Elevate your head: Lie down with your head elevated on a pillow to help reduce blood flow to the area.
Remember that a black eye is a bruise, and it takes time for the discoloration to fade. While these steps won't make it disappear instantly, they will help minimize its appearance and encourage healing.
