What Are the Effective Methods to Reduce Facial Swelling?

Facial edema can be relieved through lymphatic massage. Facial swelling is mainly caused by the stagnation of waste products in the body that cannot be excreted in time. Through simple lymphatic massage, the waste products in the body can be mobilized and eliminated from the body, resulting in a good improvement effect. When performing a massage to eliminate facial swelling, first warm the massage cream in your hands and then apply it to your face. Next, press the lymph nodes while thinking "up, up" and massaging. If conditions permit, perform it once in the morning and once in the evening each day. The detailed steps of lymphatic massage are generally relatively simple. First, use your thumb to press the inside of your chin, and use the other four fingers to press the jawbone while feeling and massaging. Follow the contours of your face, slowly move from your chin to the base of your ear. At the location of the lymph nodes behind your ear, open your hands, form a V shape with your thumb and index finger, and clamp them behind your ear to massage. Then cover your face with your entire palm, with your fingers pointing towards the direction of your temples, and continuously stretch the skin at the corners of your mouth. Use both hands to pull the skin upwards firmly on your cheeks, and consciously think "lifting up" to enhance the effect of the massage.
