"How Can I Reduce Swelling in My Face and Eyes in the Morning?"
After waking up, feeling swollen face and eyes is generally related to dietary factors from the previous day, including excessive water intake, high salt consumption, inadequate rest, and mental stress. Nevertheless, underlying medical conditions like kidney disease or thyroid disorders should also be considered. Typically, these swellings are physiological and can be alleviated through methods such as facial tapping and alternating hot and cold water facial washes.
Methods for Reducing Swelling:
1. Hot and Cold Water Alternating Facial Compresses: Soak a towel in hot water and apply it to your face for 15 minutes, followed by a 15-minute application with a towel soaked in cold water. Repeat this sequence three times. This technique dilates and then constricts facial blood vessels, enhancing circulation and aiding in facial water drainage.
2. Ice Compresses: If time permits, apply ice cubes from the refrigerator to swollen areas. The principle behind this is that low temperatures stimulate the skin, facilitating rapid edema reduction.
3. Milk + Vinegar Hot Compress: While milk is renowned for skin whitening, it also aids in edema reduction. Mix milk with a little vinegar and boiling water, apply to the swollen area, massage gently for 3-5 minutes, and then apply a warm towel for immediate relief.
4. Regularly Tapping the Face: Gentle tapping of the face promotes blood circulation and facial fat burning. Each tapping session should last approximately half an hour for optimal results.
