  Yes, olive oil can help treat black eyes because olive oil contains a lot of bruise healing properties. Massage the black eyes gently with olive oil can help you obtain great relief. In addition, vitamin C can help heal bruise on the body, so you can supply your body with vitamin c from foods such as orange, papaya and pineapples. You can also apply cold compresses over the black eyes for about ten minutes ever two hours. Furthermore, during the treatment, you should ensure enough rest and sleep to speed up the healing process and you should drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

  Ok, it seems that there is something wrong with your eyes. So, of course black eyes could greatly affect your looks and make you less confident. And it takes some time before you recover from them. Olive oil, which contains a lot of vitamins, especially vitamin a and b, sure it is effective in this case, and could help with the blood circulation of your eyes, also, you could try to get some warm compressors to treat them.

  Olive oil can be used both internally and externally, full of vitamin B and carotene which can promote blood circulation, improve skin status, etc. Black eyes can't recover soon when people's blood circulation is poor. So, it can affect on black eyes for sure. Massage black eyes twice a day with olive oil. Then you can recover soon. Add vitamin E liquid in the olive oil if possible. By the way, put some of them in your meal can also be helpful.
