Maintain a Balanced Diet
You should choose a balanced and nutritious diet, including a variety of fruits, vegetables, and proteins. Limit consumption of processed foods and snacks high in sugar and sodium, as they are the main components that cause water retention in the body and it will show on your face.
In addition, you should reduce the amount of salt in your daily diet, as it contributes to water retention in the body.
Avoid Refined Carbohydrates
It is important to cut down on refined carbohydrates, such as pasta, as they increase the likelihood of fat storage, leading to weight gain and a bloated face.
According to a study conducted by the BMJ Open Health Journal on a sample of 277 women, the results showed that consuming more refined carbohydrates is associated with an increased risk of obesity, visceral fat accumulation, and a bloated face.
Reduce Alcohol Consumption
Drinking too much alcohol contributes to bloating and fat accumulation in various areas of the body, including the face.
Get Sufficient Sleep
Lack of sleep can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body, leading to increased cravings for unhealthy foods, ultimately causing weight gain and a bloated face. It is important that you get enough sleep, between 7-9 hours per night, for overall good health.
Practice Facial Fat Reduction Exercises
Facial fat is often the result of excessive fat accumulation in the body, making you appear fuller. Specific facial exercises such as lifting the cheeks, loosening the jaw, and stretching the neck can firm the muscles on your face, reducing facial fat accumulation. How to perform Gua Sha massage for a slim face:
Gua Sha massage should be performed correctly. It is important to seek advice from an expert or experienced spa therapist.
– Begin by cleansing and moisturizing the face and neck
– Apply facial oil or serum to the face and neck to facilitate the gliding of the tool and prevent damage to the skin.
– Start from the neck and move upwards. Hold the Gua Sha tool at a 15-degree angle and use the fingers of the other hand to apply gentle pulling force, gently glide the tool along the skin with upward strokes.
The massage movements should be performed gently to avoid causing damage to the skin. If your skin is experiencing issues such as irritation, wounds, or after undergoing treatment sessions… then you should not perform facial massage.
