It takes work to achieve that clear and glowy skin.

Unfortunately, it’s not always that simple.

Therefore, it’s essential to analyze what foods you are eating, especially right before bed.

Choosing a salty snack of potato chips right before going to bed can actually cause facial bloating.

Similarly, an evening charcuterie board filled with dried cheeses and cured meats is not the best option.

You may notice that your face is naturally puffier when you first wake up.

This won’t just raise your blood pressure but will be visible externally.

The best thing you might do is drink water.

Rehydrating your body after a long night does wonders for rebalancing your skin.

You may also find thatadding gua sha to your skincare routine is worth your time.

Washing your face with cold water can also reduce facial bloating because it restricts those blood vessels.

Similarly, reaching for a caffeinated eye cream can help to brighten up your under eyes and boost circulation.

Reaching for some hydrating fruit might make you feel better in your own skin, literally.

However, the occasional bloat may be worth it for a fun night of snacks with friends.

Life is all about balance; the same goes for your skin health.
