Facial bloating can be due to various causes, such as increased salt intake or product allergy. A balanced diet, high on fruits and vegetables with normal salt consumption, less of pickles or processed packaged food, is advised.

You can also apply a cold towel on the face and eyes to decrease bloating. Apply cold calamine lotion on the face and leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash. You can use a natural face mask with fuller’s earth or a rose water dipped cold cloth on the face.

Alcohol affects almost every organ in the body, however the liver is the worst affected as this is where alcohol is processed. The blood vessels widen up when you take alcohol leading to swelling, puffy appearance. Avoid alcohol to decrease bloating.

Sodium isn’t present only in the salt or soya sauce that we consume. It includes other sources, such as sausages, sauces, canned vegetables and processed foods. Our body tries to retain water in order to dilute the excess of sodium in the body. Avoid packed food and consume natural food as much as possible.
