Morning bloating is a frequent concern for urban dwellers in large cities. To address it, some advice suggests reducing liquid intake after 19:30, effectively avoiding drinks in the late evening. This guidance comes from Ekaterina Vasilyeva, a candidate of medical sciences, dermatovenerologist, cosmetologist, and founder of Artleo Clinic.
If morning swelling recurs rather than appearing as a one‑off event, a medical consultation is advisable. A practical suggestion shared by the expert is to try not drinking liquids after 19:30 for a period to evaluate changes in morning puffiness. While bloating during the night can be a normal physiological state for many people, following this approach is not guaranteed to work for everyone and should be considered as a potential lifestyle adjustment rather than a universal prescription.
The specialist also recommends keeping two tablespoons in the freezer for an ice‑cold facial massage. The cold application can help encourage drainage and cause a mild constriction of superficial blood vessels, which may reduce puffiness temporarily after a night of swelling.
According to the expert, applying Lyoton gel across the face, avoiding the eye area, can enhance a cooling effect when combined with an ice massage using cold spoons from the freezer. This combination is described as providing a noticeable soothing sensation along with a subtle improvement in facial contours due to reduced fluid buildup.
Vasilyeva notes that a decongestant ointment formulated for hemorrhoids can be helpful for facial swelling when used with care, specifically focusing on avoiding the eye region. The product’s properties may contribute to decongestion in certain facial areas, but it is essential to follow product directions and seek medical guidance for facial use.
The expert also emphasizes that using these unconventional methods on an occasional basis rather than daily can be more effective and safer for the skin and underlying tissues.
In addition to topical strategies, medical professionals point to gentle facial self‑care routines, including light self‑massage and tools that deliver microcurrent stimulation. These methods are described as supporting lymphatic drainage and offering short‑term relief from swelling by encouraging fluid movement through facial tissues.
Historically, the conversation around expired cosmetic products has highlighted potential risks to skin health. It remains important to monitor product freshness and discard items that show signs of deterioration to avoid adverse reactions.
