I got beaten up last nite and now my face is swollen and bruised purple and red. I have to be at work tomorrow. Does anyone know any quick home remedy so I can look normal in about 20 hours?

Well, it is close to Halloween, Can you were a costume to work, and paint your face, and or wear a mask. Tell everyone that Halloween is your favorite celebration, and you usually do this every Halloween. If not... Ice pack alternating With heat. The heat dissolves the blood, and the ice helps with the swelling. Take some Tylenol, for the pain. You will probably be more sore in the morning. If nothing else works, use makeup, and or call in sick.
PS.. stay away from whomever did this to you, it's obvious that they don't care anything about you.

My x used to beat me and always used to get me in the face so I'd have to hide it at work. I got real good at it then I got smart and served him with a restraining order. Steak will help with the swelling and redness. Drinking pineapple juice is supposed to help reduce bruising but mine were always so bad that nothing really seemed to work. If you do try to put foundation on them, use a green concealer stick before putting foundation on. I used to try to cover them up but they always seemed to look worse. My suggestion is get rid of him, don't try to cover them up, and just tell people you were in an accident. You won't get too many questions about details because everyone knows there's only one reason a woman ever gets a black eye.

normally I would say to apply a cold pack as that helps with swelling / bruising, but since it was last night.. I imagine the damage is done.. I've heard of using a steak, but again, I think that's supposed to help immediately after.. perhaps using a lot of makeup will help? Wouldn't hurt to try something cool on it though, it might help to reduce the swelling.. also try Tylenol for swelling too.

sweetie, I think you need to take a sick day "go to work" but actually go down to the police station and show them what happened. I'm only assuming that this is domestic abuse and if it is, there are things you can do. The best thing for you to do is show the police fresh evidence and begin to do something about it.
Please stand up for you self and not with your fists. No matter what you said or what you did you don't deserve this.
My heart aches for you.

To look normal you have to behave normal. Stop trying to hide the truth.

Sounds like a valid reason to use a sick day.
Was dinner late on the table again ?
