Try gua sha! Helps massively 😊 or YouTube lymphatic massage for face and do it each day!

What pp said, and drink loads of water to flush your system

ThAnks.
Just googled gua sha massage. Where could I get those stones and do they work immediately ? Cold? With oils?

Pfft. That's me on a good day. Normally I have a face like a kicked bin bag.

Loads of water to drink and use a cold damp flannel like a sheet mask to take down my inflammation.

Gua sha with oils always! Never on dry skin. Doesn't need to be frozen cold at all! Can always do the facial massages that don't require tools - any of the videos focusing on the lymph nodes should help 😊

It will show quick results if you are unusually puffy, I noticed results within a few days and now a few months in I never have puffiness!

@zigzagcushion

Does that work for You *@HalfShrunkMoreToGo* ?
It's not a miracle cure, that would be drinking loads and loads of water 😁 but putting cold stuff on inflamed skin does help to reduce the inflammation so it helps a bit. Same theory as putting cucumber slices on your eyes.

Back in the olden days when I would go drinking and dancing several times a week then head into college or work with no sleep, I'd use lots of cold water to clean my face then some haemorrhoid cream under my eyes to get rid of the bags and dark circles cant comment on whether this is safe or sensible but it worked.

Submerge your face into a sink of freezing cold water a few times it'll tighten things up then moisturiser
