My face has become so puffy these last few weeks, esp in the mornings i barely recognise myself in photos. Im 6 months now. Anyone found something that actually helped with the swelling?
I used cold cucumber slices and a little face massage, felt nice and refreshing. Staying hydrated helped most actually. But if the swelling is sudden or severe, please get it checked by your doctor.
Just a gentle reminder, sudden facial swelling can sometimes be a BP warning. I had that and my doctor caught high BP early. So if it appears fast, dont ignore, check with gynac.
I splashed cold water in the mornings and avoided too much salty office snacks. Quick and realistic with a busy schedule. Sleep also made a big difference for me.
Drink enough water, cut down on too much salt, and keep your head slightly raised when sleeping. Some puffiness is normal from the hormones. But if it comes suddenly with headache or vision issues, call your gynac.
