We know it, in the morning, when we wake up… It can be a little complicated. We arrive, not without difficulty, in front of the mirror and there, we wonder how such a pretty face can swell so much in one night. Bags under the eyes, dark circles, puffy cheeks… What if we told you that there is a tip validated by experts, free and quick, which can help you find your original face ?
What is this tip for effectively decongesting your face in the morning?
There are several factors that can cause a puffy face when you wake up. Allergies, poor posture when sleeping, hormonal fluctuations or even alcohol consumption. But the main cause is simply water retention. When we sleep, blood circulation slows and fluids thus accumulate in the tissues of the face. Fortunately, there are several tips to easily decongest your pretty face.
The best thing to do according to Isabella, a beautician followed by 140,000 people on Tiktok? Use ice cubes! In fact, she explains that in just two minutes, she decongests her face using this technique. She provides herself with 4 ice cubes and a clean cloth, in which she rolls them up. She then begins by applying the ice cubes to the jaw, starting from the chin towards the ears, two to three times, but always moving upwards. She continues like this going up along her face: the cheeks, the eye contour, the temples… She ends by making rapid circular movements on the forehead… And that’s it!

How can the cold benefit our skin?
At a time when we see many tips on the networks, such as models like Bella Hadid plunging their heads into bowls of ice cream… We know that the cold has many benefits for our skin! In fact, it tightens the blood vessels, which helps to reduce inflammation and redness. It tightens pores, which can be beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin. By stimulating blood circulation, it helps firm the skin and achieve a more toned appearance. At eye level, it reduces dark circles and decongests bags.
But be careful, the expert does not recommend performing lymphatic drainage entirely with ice. You should only use this trick only for a few minutes (two or even three) because too much cold is not good either. Indeed, it can disrupt the skin barrier, cause irritation and even literally burn the skin. It is therefore better to always cover your ice cubes and never expose your skin directly to such cold. Also, if you have facial massage tools at home (globes, spoons, rollers, gua sha, etc.), it is better to keep them in the fridge and not directly in the freezer.
