How to drain water from swollen face

1. Hot compress with milk and vinegar towel

Milk can not only whiten your skin but also tighten it. If your eyelids or face are swollen in the morning, you can mix an appropriate amount of milk, a very small amount of vinegar and boiling water, apply it on your face or eyelids and gently massage for 3 to 5 minutes, then change to a hot towel and apply it, the swelling will go away instantly.

Moreover, this kind of hot compress can not only reduce swelling but also open the gates of capillaries, so that oil can be removed more effectively during cleansing, allowing toxins and waste to be discharged smoothly through the pores and improving dull skin tone.

2. Drink a cup of black coffee on an empty stomach in the morning

Drinking a cup of milk-free and sugar-free black coffee on an empty stomach in the morning is a method of reducing edema that many celebrities like. Because the caffeine contained in coffee is the most natural body drainer, it can drain excess water from the body and eliminate edema. However, you must eat breakfast before drinking it, otherwise it will easily damage your gastrointestinal function.

3. Apply hot and cold towels to your face

First apply a hot towel to your face, then apply a cold compress, and repeat 3 times. The time for hot and cold compresses on the face should be allocated in a ratio of 1:2, and should be applied for at least 15 minutes. Applying hot and cold facial masks alternately can cause blood vessels to contract, expand, and then contract again, thus promoting blood circulation in the skin and draining excess water from the face.

However, be careful to control the temperature of the hot towel and do not make it too hot.

4. Massage the jaw joint

Massage can open up the facial meridians, promote blood flow, and expel toxins, which is very helpful in eliminating facial swelling.

Method: You can massage the jaw joint before meals. Open your hands, put your thumb and index finger together, and put your middle finger, ring finger and little finger together. Place the space between the middle finger and index finger under your ear. Open your mouth and gently rub your cheeks upwards. Then close your mouth and gently rub and massage your jaw from top to bottom. Do this back and forth 10 times.

5. Wash your face with carbonated facial cleanser

Washing your face with a facial cleanser containing carbonic acid can promote blood circulation in the skin in the morning, supply the skin with fresh oxygen, and metabolize old waste substances in the skin after a night's sleep, thereby improving puffiness, roughness and dullness, and accelerating the cells' absorption of subsequent moisture and nutrients.

6. Salt water facial mask

Add a teaspoon of salt to 500cc of 40-degree warm water, stir well, soak the gauze in the salt water to fully absorb the salt, then fold the gauze into an appropriate size and apply it to the face for about 20 minutes.

This method uses the principle of high osmotic pressure to drain water from low to high, thereby expelling the water. However, be sure to test the temperature before applying hot compress to avoid high temperature damaging your skin.

7. Apply ice to your face to reduce swelling

If swelling occurs when you wake up in the morning, you can also use ice cubes to apply to your face, which can quickly reduce swelling. If you find swelling on your face when you wake up in the morning, you can use an ice pack. If you really can't find an ice pack, you can also buy chilled drinks or ice cream, and use the low temperature to stimulate the edematous area to achieve the effect of quickly reducing swelling. Or you can put an iron spoon in the freezer at night, and when you find your face is swollen, use the frozen spoon to apply to your face to reduce the swelling.
