Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark! Here’s how to stop a bruise from forming…

As soon as you bump or bang yourself, wet the fingers of one hand and dip them in the sugar bowl. Then rigorously (but gently) massage the injured area with your sugar-coated fingers. (Don’t massage if it’s painful!) Make sure you reach the outer edges of the bruise. Your sugared fingers will promote blood circulation, reduce the scope of broken capillaries and help pre­vent a black-and-blue mark from forming.
