"Consultant dermatologist Dr Aiza Jamil says facial puffiness is usually caused by fluid retention and common triggers include high salt and alcohol intake, allergies and lack of sleep. Dr Tina Tian, also a consultant dermatologist explains most viral hacks fall into three categories - cold exposure, massage and temporary tightening effects. They can "genuinely reduce visible swelling and provide relief but the key word is temporary - they won't permanently change facial structure"."
"Tina explains the appeal comes from the fact that the "cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict, which can reduce swelling". This is the logic behind ice facials, cryo globes and refrigerated sheet masks but Tina says you don't need a dramatic ice plunge to get the benefit as a chilled compress or even a splash of cold water can do the job."
Facial puffiness usually results from fluid retention, with common triggers including high salt and alcohol intake, allergies and lack of sleep. Viral hacks for depuffing primarily rely on cold exposure, massage or temporary tightening effects. These techniques can reduce visible swelling and provide short-term relief but do not alter facial structure permanently. Cold exposure causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing swelling; chilled compresses or splashes of cold water can produce similar benefits to ice facials. Effects produce a slightly tighter, fresher appearance often in the morning and generally last hours rather than days. Excessive cold can irritate sensitive skin or trigger rosacea, so treatments should be gentle.
