Banish Morning Puffiness: Tips and Tricks for a Refreshed Look

Morning puffiness is a common concern for many people. Waking up with a puffy face can be frustrating, but fear not—we have some insights and solutions to help you tackle this issue head-on.

Common Causes of Morning Puffiness

One Too Many at Happy Hour: Alcohol can cause mild dehydration, which in turn can make the body retain water in the face.

Sleep Position: Lying down causes fluid to rest and collect in the face. Sleeping facedown, for instance, may enhance morning puffiness.

Makeup Removal: Falling asleep with your makeup on can cause contact dermatitis, leading to inflammation and making the skin appear red and puffy.

Three Ways to Prevent or Alleviate Morning Puffiness

AM Fix: Cooling Morning Routine

Start your morning routine by incorporating some cooling products. Keep a refreshing eye cream, jade roller, and toner in the fridge. Apply these chilled products to your face as you wait for your coffee to brew. Gently roll the jade roller upward and outward, then downward towards your neck. This invigorating ritual will help reduce puffiness. If you need recommendations for suitable AM Fix products, reply to this email or ask us during your next appointment.

PM Fix: Nighttime Cleanse Ritual

Remember your mom's advice: "Wash your face." Take this opportunity to wind down and create a zen energy. Have Alexa (or any preferred device) play some spa music. Massage your cleanser into your skin for at least 30 seconds, allowing it to remove impurities accumulated throughout the day effectively. Take a moment to appreciate the soothing aroma and reflect on a few positive moments from the day. If you require a relaxing cleanser recommendation tailored to your skin type, please reply to this email or inquire about your next visit.

Happy Hour Fix: Hydrate with Electrolytes

Add an electrolyte tablet to a glass of water before heading to bed after a fun happy hour. Electrolytes help replenish lost minerals and restore balance in your body. We love the Nuum tablets, with the Orange Sunrise flavor being a personal favorite. This simple addition can reduce morning puffiness caused by alcohol-induced dehydration.

Feel Refreshed and Rejuvenated

Please start each day feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. By following these simple steps and incorporating them into your routine, you can bid farewell to morning puffiness and welcome a more vibrant version of yourself.
