Puffy face??? No more a beauty...

Now, if you are blessed with a puffy face and body type, then you can only work on being in shape... but all those hectic work schedules, odd food timings and habits, cried like hell for some reason, lack of sleep or slept like a sleeping beauty... whatever the reason could be, you notice your face turning puffy, here are quick tips to fix this problem;

Cucumbers and Lemon Juice

cucumbers and lemon juice can be used to reduce redness and puffiness on the face. Wash one cucumber and slice it into quarter-inch thick pieces. Put six to eight slices in a small mixing bowl and squeeze one-half fresh lemon onto the cucumbers and place the bowl in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to cool. Apply the soaked cucumbers to the skin and leave them on for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing the skin with cool water and washing with a gentle cleanser to remove the sugar from the skin. This remedy can be repeated up to two times per day unless the citrus juice irritates your skin.

Green Tea Bags

green tea bags can be applied to the surface of the skin to reduce redness and puffiness. To use green tea bags, brew one tea bag in 8 oz. of hot water for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the tea bag and let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes until it reaches room temperature. Place the tea bag on the puffy area and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse your skin with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Apply you regular moisturizer if you use one. This green tea treatment can be used up to four times per day as long as no irritation occurs. Note that Lad recommends using organic tea to prevent exposure to chemicals which may further irritate your skin.

Egg Whites

Egg whites are a common home remedy to reduce redness and puffiness due to inflammation. Whip two egg whites in a small mixing bowl with a whisk. Let the egg whites stand for two to three minutes before applying the thin paste to the affected area in the shower or bathtub. Leave the egg whites on for 20 minutes before rinsing the skin with cool water and washing gently with your regular cleanser. Use your regular moisturizer if you use one. Egg whites can be used up to two times per day as long as no further redness or irritation occurs. This treatment is not recommended for those that have allergies to eggs even though they are not directly consumed.
