From a scientific perspective, there's no single answer as to why the puffiness won't go away, despite losing weight or getting more restorative sleep. However, professional face massagers and beauty experts agree that a stubborn puffy face is often just a symptom of something much deeper. The body is smarter than we think; it holds fluids in the face and responds to imbalances.
We can spend thousands of dollars on expensive skin care or beauty treatments to try to treat a puffy face. For months, I tried to “fix” my puffiness with topical creams, ice rollers, and gua sha tools. Sure, I’d see a small difference — but by the next morning, it was like nothing had changed. The truth is that these only treat the symptom and not the source.
There's no point in trying to fix a temporary problem. So, how can we truly break free and treat the source?
It's simple. By first understanding the hidden causes that experienced face massagers have identified.
These include:
- Blocked lymphatic drainage
- Cortisol level imbalances
- Gut health
Therefore, a real solution means supporting the body from the inside out.
