It can be very unpleasant if the very first thing you see in the mirror every morning is a swollen, puffy face. Many of us experience this issue daily, and while avoiding the mirror could be a solution for some, it is not a permanent one. The great news is that getting rid of a puffy face can be very simple and when you include Face Yoga in it, even fun! Here is your guide on how to reduce puffiness with the Face Yoga Method.
Puffy Face Causes
Besides factors such as increased sodium intake, dehydration, or lack of a fiber-rich diet, one of the leading causes of puffiness in the face is a poor-functioning lymphatic system. Face swelling, dull skin, and uneven complexion can all be signs of poor lymphatic drainage. The lymphatic system serves as a method that drains extra fluid and waste from the body. When this system isn’t working properly, the face retains excess fluid and, in turn, results in a puffy-look that is hard to reduce.
When the lymphatic system becomes stagnant, the face can experience inflammation, premature aging, puffiness, and more. Therefore, keeping your lymphatic system activated dramatically impacts the health and feel of your skin.
The Best Ways To Get Rid Of Puffy Face Naturally
There are different things that you can do to prevent and/or reduce the puffy face look. Some of them are making sure that you drink enough water, avoid food with a high sodium content (such as carbonated drinks!) and increase your daily fiber intake. In addition to these lifestyle changes, there is such a thing as lymphatic massage, BUT doing Face Yoga exercises will ALSO stimulate your lymphatic system and help de-puff your face! Meaning you can tone, tighten and shape your muscles, all while increasing blood circulation and regaining your natural, confident look!
Your lymphatic system does wonderful work for you every day. It supports you by removing cellular waste, detoxifying, fighting against viruses, bacteria, pollution, allergens, and more. This process can be activated by gentle tapping, lymphatic massage, and Face Yoga exercises!
How Face Yoga Can Help With Reducing Puffy Face
ALL of the Face Yoga Method Poses and exercises activate the lymphatic system by contributing to the flow happening underneath the skin’s surface.
When you move your face in certain ways, you support blood flow, tension release, and fluid drainage. This natural process, in turn, can help reduce the puffy face as you help your body carry out its natural process.
But the Face Yoga Method, as you know, is so much more than face exercises.
The totality of the Face Yogi lifestyle consists of the healthy routines that prevent the puffy face from creating in the first place:
- Drinking hot water
- Exercising
- Walking
- Dry brushing
- Breathing
All support the health and normal functioning of the lymphatic system, which in turn keeps YOUR health, and your face.
Now knowing that Face Yoga exercises can help with reducing puffy face look, all while toning your face, there’s even more reason to not skip out on your next Practice.
