Why does my face swell after sleeping?

There are many reasons for facial edema, such as cardiogenic edema, renal edema, physiological edema and other diseases.

Physiological

Drinking more water before going to bed at night will cause mild edema in the eyelids, face and other parts the next morning. It is recommended to drink less water before going to bed and observe for a few days to see if it will recover.

Nephrogenic

There is a certain damage to the kidneys, which leads to the loss of protein in the body, making it impossible for toxins, water and other wastes to be excreted from the body, thus causing edema. You can go to the hospital for a check-up and diagnosis.

Cardiogenic

Certain problems with the heart can also cause edema. If it is not serious in the early stages, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and elimination.

How to reduce facial edema

1. Wash your face with warm water that is slightly lower than body temperature to enhance blood circulation, gently open pores, and clean the deep oil of the skin, and then apply cold water to your face. You can choose to soak a towel in cold water. The hot and cold cycle can shrink the pores and achieve a swelling effect.

2. After applying lotion, apply a thin layer of cream and massage from bottom to top and from outside to inside. This is to help lift the skin and improve the "38th parallel" of the face (tear groove lines, nose nasolabial folds, and mouth corner nasolabial folds).

A puffy face is generally caused by improper living and eating habits, so it is important to change improper living and eating habits, go to bed early and get up early, don't stay up late, don't drink water one hour before going to bed, and eat more foods that reduce swelling and moisture, such as winter melon, coix seed, tea, etc. It is best to chew a small V fruit after a meal. The moringa powder, Pu'er tea, mulberry leaves and other ingredients in the small V fruit can promote the liver and spleen to transport water and moisture normally, accelerate the metabolism of stagnant water and moisture through excretion, and then eliminate edema-type face fat.
