Whether it's on the face, around the eyes, or in the abdominal area, there's no denying that bloating can cause enormous discomfort, both physically and emotionally, affecting our self-esteem and how we feel. Although common to many women, there are several causes for feeling bloated—our diet, alcohol consumption, hormonal changes, stress, and our daily habits such as exercise and sleep (or rather, lack thereof) are just some of the reasons why we wake up with a puffy face or feel that abdominal discomfort.
As always, it's important to listen to our bodies and pay attention to the signals they give us when we feel more bloated. For example, if you wake up with a puffy face every time you have a glass of wine at dinner, try ordering a non-alcoholic cocktail on your next outing with friends.
Or if you experience abdominal bloating whenever you eat cabbage or beans, try reducing your intake of these types of foods (which increase gas production), including fermented foods in your diet, and even keeping a food diary to help you discover or rule out food sensitivities or intolerances.
Furthermore, there are medicinal plants and facial care routines that are super effective in resolving or reducing this feeling of puffiness—both internally and externally. In this article, we reveal a complete anti-puffiness routine so you can feel like the best version of yourself!
Inside
If you haven't yet discovered our Detox line, trust us—after trying it, your life will never be the same! Let's start with our Fresh Start Kit , composed of our Detox Drops and Super Detox Capsules , two essential items that, in addition to combating abdominal bloating, stimulating the release of toxins accumulated in the body and boosting metabolism, contribute to clearer skin, smoother digestion, and higher energy levels.
Based on chlorophyll and rich in antioxidants that support the intestinal flora, Detox Drops are perfect for starting the morning. We recommend diluting 4 full droppers in a glass of water and taking them on an empty stomach upon waking to help the intestinal flora and liver function properly, which are essential for easier digestive processes.
Our Super Detox Capsules are a bioavailable formula based on medicinal plants that stimulate digestion and the release of toxins accumulated in the body. Take 2 capsules daily, with or without food, to boost metabolism and reduce abdominal bloating.
At the end of the day, try taking 1 teaspoon of our Detox Blend, diluted in a glass of water, in a warm infusion, or in your favorite plant-based milk. Especially effective when taken at night to boost the body's natural cleansing during sleep, this blend with Milk Thistle, Spirulina, and Wheatgrass supports natural detoxification from the inside out, calms inflammation, stimulates the body to clear toxins, and reduces abdominal bloating.
On the outside
The way we nourish our bodies from the inside is reflected on the outside, especially in the appearance of our skin. When we sleep well, mitigate the effects of stress, practice a balanced and varied diet, and exercise, our skin feels naturally brighter and healthier, and our face is visibly less puffy. Beyond these holistic care practices, there are some beauty tools you can (and should!) incorporate into your daily routine.
The first is our Facial Brush , which allows you to brush your facial skin dry, stimulating the lymphatic system and activating the release of toxins and cell regeneration. In addition to gently exfoliating the skin and removing dead cells, enhancing its elasticity, firmness, and radiance, this soft brush visibly improves puffiness, for a much fresher appearance. The brush should be used in the morning, before cleansing and moisturizing your face, two to three times a week .
For your daily hydration ritual, nothing beats complementing your favorite products with one of our Gua Sha tools — Amethyst , Jade , White Quartz , or Rose Quartz . This ancient facial sculpting tool is not only incredible for contouring the skin of the face, jawline, and neck, but also for promoting blood circulation and combating puffiness, especially in the eye contour area.
