CREASED, PUFFY FACE, SWOLLEN EYES AND DARK CIRCLES... A FEW SOLUTIONS TO REVITALIZE YOUR FACE IN THE MORNING
“HELP, I DON’T RECOGNIZE MYSELF IN THE MORNING!” Has this been happening to you since turning forty? This is something I hear a lot from my clients. During sleep, the lymphatic system slows down and the lying-down position causes fluid retention in the face, which can lead, in some cases, to a puffy face upon waking. Eating certain foods in the evening can also make this worse. Foods high in salt, for example, can cause significant water retention in the body, leading to more fluid being stored, especially in the face. Dehydration, linked for example to alcohol consumption, also forces the body to retain more water to counterbalance the lack of hydration. Here are my solutions for waking up beautifully.
COLD IS YOUR ALLY
Cold has a real decongesting effect because it boosts blood circulation and therefore helps move excess stored fluid. Thanks to cryotherapy tools or even your toner kept in the fridge overnight, your skin will wake up in an instant.
TAKE COLLAGEN
When your skin lacks collagen, it is drier and marks more easily. By supplementing with collagen and nourishing your skin from within, you help it recover more easily and erase the signs of the night more quickly.
HYDRATE YOUR SKIN MORNING AND NIGHT, FROM THE INSIDE AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDE
Drink water regularly throughout the day and apply a moisturizer rich in hyaluronic acid morning and evening, while massaging your face to stimulate lymphatic flow and oxygenate your complexion.
USE SKINCARE RICH IN DECONGESTING ACTIVE INGREDIENTS IN THE MORNING
Eye contour ingredients such as coffee bean extract are known for their decongesting action, while vitamin C helps brighten the eye area.
PERFORM A LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
Thanks to the Gua Sha, you can decongest under-eye bags as well as the face by draining away fluid buildup.
