Had a family weeding.
Too much salt and booze . I look bloated.
Can I reduce this in 24 hours do you think? Is it possible ? How could I look less puffy or am I kidding myself that this is even possible ? I have another family event tomorrow night .Thanks...

Drink a few glasses of water. That’ll help.

whumpthereitis · 18/05/2023 10:17

And green tea!

ludicrouslycapaciousbags · 18/05/2023 10:18

Lots of water
No carbs
Face masks - hydrating

ludicrouslycapaciousbags · 18/05/2023 10:18

Yes green tea!

Try a good soak in a epsom salts bath.

In 24h it should sort itself out naturally tbh, but I would recommend light meals (eg salads) and lots of water/herbal tea.

Thanks.
My face looks like a big puffy marshmallow and my eyes are like pissholes in the snow . I look horrendous.
I'll try loads of water .
Does facial massage ever work or is that a gimmick ???

Fast and drink water would be my tip. If your eyes are puffy you might need a nap.

I use a gua sha for lymphatic massage on my face every day, especially when I'm bloated like this- it really helps. You can do it with your fingers if you need to- just make sure you open up your draining points. There's a good tiktok on how to do it here- https://www.tiktok.com/@gracie_norton/video/7190450924479958315

God sorry didnt mean to post so many times! There was a server error shown and then it posted 3 times. I've asked for some to be taken down....

Cordeliathecat · 18/05/2023 11:14

Lots of water and don’t let a carbohydrate pass your lips!

Iwantmyoldnameback · 18/05/2023 11:27

Drink water and put cucumber slices on your eyes.

Atishoos · 18/05/2023 11:33

An electrolyte drink, plenty of water. I think you're dehydrated, which would be normal after a wedding bash. You'll be fine in time for the next round!
