Hello~

🍒Your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)🍒

Many people experience facial swelling after the holidays end.

The cause is that during the holidays,

our body's recovery pattern has been temporarily disrupted.

​

Going to bed late, salty foods, alcohol consumption, and irregular sleep

are all major causes that trigger facial swelling.

​

In particular, the face is an area highly sensitive to lymphatic and blood circulation,

so even a slight drop in your condition becomes immediately noticeable.🥹

​

🥄 1. The biggest enemy of swelling: Sodium intake

If you look at the diets of those who eat a lot of holiday foods or late-night snacks,

they are mostly high in sodium.

​

Sodium attracts water in the body,

causing fluids to pool around the face and eyes.

​

Therefore, it is best to eat foods as blandly as possible

and drink water frequently in small amounts.

✏️ Tip: Please drink at least 1.5L of warm barley tea or lukewarm water a day. This stimulates diuretic action, speeding up the elimination of waste from the body.

💤 2. Swelling changes just by altering your sleep position

If blood circulation is not smooth during sleep,

swelling occurs when you wake up.

​

✅ Avoid sleeping on your stomach or side

✅ Light stretching + cold compress right after waking up in the morning

Following just these two tips will effectively and noticeably reduce facial swelling.

​

🌊 3. Massage & cold compress to aid circulation

Gently sweeping down around the area under the ears, jawline, and cheekbones with your fingertips

for a lymphatic massage provides immediate effects.

​

However, do not press too hard and keep it under 5 minutes,

applying only light pressure.

​

A cold compress is appropriate for about 10 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.

Avoid warm compresses for the first 2 to 3 days,

and switch to them for blood flow improvement once the swelling has somewhat subsided.

​

🧴 4. Procedures

For those who repeatedly experience fatigue, swelling, and poor circulation,

combining moisture balance improvement / circulation care procedures is much more effective.

​

Examples include Rejuran Healer and Skin Boosters.

​

While their effect on immediately reducing swelling is limited,

they can provide positive support during the swelling recovery process.

​

Also, rather than just for aesthetic purposes,

they help improve skin resilience and blood flow,

making it advantageous for maintaining a 'less swollen face.'

Swelling may seem like a simple cosmetic issue,

but it is a signal that indicates your body's fatigue and circulation status.

​

Even if it feels bothersome, organizing your routine

and ensuring sufficient hydration, rest, and care

will naturally eliminate the fatigue and swelling accumulated over the holidays,

and won't your face feel much lighter?🥰

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does facial swelling occur after holidays?

Facial swelling after holidays is mainly due to the body's recovery pattern being disrupted during the holiday period. Late nights, consumption of salty foods, alcohol intake, and irregular sleep can hinder blood and lymph circulation, leading to swelling.

How do salty foods affect facial swelling?

Salty foods are a major cause of facial swelling. Sodium attracts water into the body, causing fluid to accumulate in the face and around the eyes. Therefore, it is advisable to eat bland foods as much as possible and drink water frequently.

Are there any sleeping positions that help reduce facial swelling?

Yes, changing your sleeping position can help reduce swelling. Avoid sleeping on your stomach or side, and combine light stretching and cold compresses immediately after waking up in the morning for effective swelling reduction.

What are some massage methods to relieve facial swelling?

Lymphatic massage can help relieve facial swelling. Gently stroking the area behind the ears, along the jawline, and around the cheekbones with your fingertips can provide immediate results. Do not press too hard and keep it light for within 5 minutes.

What treatments can help if facial swelling occurs repeatedly?

If facial swelling occurs repeatedly, treatments that improve water balance and circulation management may be effective. Procedures like Rejuran Healer or skin boosters do not immediately reduce swelling, but rather help improve skin recovery and blood flow, which is beneficial for maintaining a less swollen face.

How should cold compresses be used for facial swelling?

Cold compresses are effective for managing facial swelling. Applying them 2-3 times a day for about 10 minutes is appropriate, and after the swelling has somewhat subsided, it is good to switch to warm compresses to improve blood flow.
