Arnica oil or ointment is supposed to reduce bruising.

The following may be of interest - Bruises, blisters, or swollen areas on the face caused by trauma, may be treated by placing an ice or cold pack on the area every one to two hours for 10 to 15 minutes for the first 24 hours. Applying a warm washcloth a day or two after an injury helps disperse the extra red blood cells into the tissues. Hold the warm cloth in place for about 20 minutes. The dark area may fade more quickly. . The American Indians knew what they were doing when they smeared the juice of the arnica bush on bruises, according to Varro E. Tyler, Ph.D., a plant-drug specialist and professor of pharmacognosy at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. "Several years ago, a German study found two substances in this herb that produce anti-inflammatory and painkilling effects," says Dr. Tyler. Health food stores sell ready-made arnica ointments such as Antiflora, which may help bruises disappear. They should contain at least 10 percent arnica to be effective, says Dr. Tyler.
Hope this helps

The free way to speed up the healing process is to take a tablespoon and put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes then hold the back of the spoon to the bruise.

Dab with witchhazel and take arnica tablets from your hebalist. Try makeup in the mean. Most importantly if someone did this to you, ditching that person usually helps as well.

Vinegar speeds up fading of bruises - stinks though.
