My face has become so puffy and round lately, even i dont recognise myself in pics yaar. Im 6 months along. Is there any safe way to reduce it ya it just settles after delivery? anyone else dealing with this?
I don't want to give any medical advice, but in my experience, reducing salty pickles and junk food helped reduce my morning face puffiness. I also used a cold jade roller gently on my face which felt super relaxing, but otherwise, I just accepted it as a part of the pregnancy glow!
Look, let's be realistic—you cannot spot-reduce fat, especially when you are pregnant! Most of that 'face fat' is actually just water retention and hormonal swelling. Don't go on any crazy diets now, just stay hydrated and it will disappear after your delivery.
Actually, my doctor explained that increased blood volume and high progesterone levels cause water retention, which often shows up on our face and feet. The best safe ways to manage it are reducing sodium/salt intake, drinking at least 3 liters of water daily, and doing light walks if allowed.
Oh, I completely understand, I used to hate looking in the mirror because of my puffy cheeks and double chin! I was so anxious about it, but please know you are beautiful and this is just temporary. Drinking lots of water and doing a very gentle upward face massage with coconut oil helped me feel a bit better.
