How to rectify the situation? Read on for five tips on how to depuff your face now.
Use massage
As well as feeling ultra-relaxing, using sweeping massage movements on your face can help to encourage lymph flow and drain puffiness away from the face.
While getting a professional to do it is always the dreamiest route, it’s alsoa good thing to try & do at home. “Concentrate on sweeping out to some of the facial lymph nodes situated in front and behind the ear, and around the jawline and down the neck onto the collarbone,” I love doing this with a facial massage oil to make it more of a treat!
Sleep on your back
Nighttime fluid retention is normal, but if you usually wake up with an ultra-puffy face, you might want to reconsider your sleep position. Avoid sleeping on your front and “invest in a good pillow, keeping your head slightly elevated to allow fluid to drain easier at night,” your room temperature should be around 18C.
Try gua sha
Via sha helps to depuff the face by working on both Chinese meridian points and the lymphatic drainage system to stimulate blood circulation, enhance skin’s oxygen levels, and regulate our internal balance, whilst removing toxins and stagnation,“It also helps unknot any fascia and muscle tension, releasing blocked fluids in specific parts of the face—in turn, the face is less swollen and feels much lighter.
