The article discusses the common issue of morning facial puffiness, attributing it to fluid accumulation while lying down, as well as factors like diet, alcohol consumption, and hormonal changes. Expert Paula Brezavscek explains that it is normal and usually not a cause for concern. The piece also highlights the use of ice rollers as a popular and effective method to reduce puffiness, noting that they can provide a spa-like experience and are safe for daily use.
While there can be a difference in face puffiness if you're a person who needs to drink more water throughout the day or falls asleep after having a lot of sodium or alcohol, the bottom line is - your face is puffy in the morning because of fluid accumulation. "Overnight, fluid can accumulate in the face due to lying down for extended periods, slowing lymphatic drainage. Other culprits include high salt intake, alcohol, allergies, or hormonal fluctuations. The result? Morning puffiness, especially around the eyes and cheeks," certified physician assistant Paula Brezavscek tells Scary Mommy.
Generally, your face will lose its puffiness throughout the morning as you move around and get your day started. But if you'd like to help the process along (and enjoy what feels like a spa treatment), you can use an ice roller. You can find these viral beauty tools virtually anywhere, and they are incredibly safe - and effective - to use. Dr. Brendan Camp tells Scary Mommy that an ice roller is safe to use daily.
