What causes a woman's face to swell?

For most women, the face is actually a very important part. In order to maintain the luster and smoothness of the face and make the whole face look better, some women spend a lot of money on skin care products and cosmetics. Therefore, having problems with the face is like a bolt from the blue, and facial edema occurs in many women, so what are the causes of facial edema?

1Idiopathic edema of the face due to poor blood circulation

This type of edema caused by poor blood circulation often occurs in people with poor blood circulation and metabolism, including the habit of drinking a lot of water before going to bed, sitting for a long time, incorrect sleeping posture, staying up late, and having poor physical metabolism. These effects result in the deterioration of the blood circulation system, which is unable to excrete excess waste water from the body. The water is retained in the capillaries and even seeps back into the skin, causing swelling. However, this edema will gradually subside automatically after you get up and move around for a while.

How to solve it: Sticking to effective exercise is the best way to improve this type of edema. At the same time, be careful not to drink too much water within an hour before going to bed. Using skin care products or massage creams that promote circulation and eliminate edema can also have a good effect.

If you have any chronic diseases, the trouble will be even greater.
