How to lose weight from the face? Changing your lifestyle may help
What to do? First of all, you should realize that losing weight is a process that affects the whole body. It is impossible to choose one area and slim it down instantly. The topic should be approached rationally and holistically. Being overweight or obese contributes to many health problems and makes us look older than we really are. For such people, reducing body weight to the correct BMI values should result in a thinner face. However, sometimes the face looks thicker due to health reasons that cause water retention in the body, such as:
- kidney disease,
- cardiovascular disease,
- hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism,
- allergy.
Some women notice facial swelling in the second phase of their menstrual cycle, most often a few days before their period or during pregnancy. It may simply be physiology or a symptom of more serious disorders, so you should always inform your doctor about their appearance.
If you want to lose weight on your face, follow these recommendations:
- change of diet – let’s choose the least processed products. The diet should be well-balanced, rich in vegetables, fruits, complex carbohydrates, lean protein, healthy vegetable fats, fiber.
- watch out for alcohol – if you can’t give it up completely, at least limit its amount. Alcohol causes water retention in the body and the formation of swelling, which, unfortunately, can be seen later on the face.
- limit sweets, salt and salty snacks – too much salt is bad, it’s already widely known. However, it is not enough to salt our meals less, because salt in large amounts can be hidden in seemingly innocent snacks, e.g. sticks, nuts, chips, pizza, hamburgers and the rest of fast food, not to mention.
- drink more water – at least 2 liters a day
- get enough sleep – insufficient sleep can contribute to hormonal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, depression, and overweight. A sleepless night just shows on your face.
- read the leaflets of medicines and dietary supplements – the side effect of taking some of them may be water retention in the body. However, do not stop them on your own, in the case of medications, always consult your doctor.
How to have a slim face? Face yoga is the solution
A slim face with clear features is the dream of many women. Some of them, in pursuit of the ideal, decide to visit a plastic surgery clinic and undergo a series of invasive facial slimming treatments. Fortunately, there are much less painful methods for slimming the face, i.e. facial exercises. It is true that the effect will not be immediate, and it should be performed regularly, but thanks to them, we will strengthen the facial muscles, firm the skin, delay the appearance of wrinkles, and make the existing ones shallower. Here are examples of some of them:
- as much as we can, tilt the head back, and then very slowly lower it forward, towards the sternum. The next step is to turn your head to the left and then to the right. We do the exercises carefully and slowly. Regularly performed will help get rid of the second chin.
- we make a “spout” by sucking the cheeks hard – we repeat several times
- we push the cheeks with air as much as possible and let the air out – we practice about 5 minutes.
thin face? Discover the magic of makeup!
The right makeup can work wonders. Just look at the photos of celebrities caught by the paparazzi in their everyday version and those already taken with makeup done by professionals. The good news is that every woman is able to make her own make-up that looks optically. It is worth watching some tutorials by professional makeup artists, for example on YouTube, and then do the same makeup step by step. Advice: apply a foundation a shade lighter than the complexion in the center of the face, spread the foundation darker on the other areas of the face – in this way we will optically slim the face. Let’s not forget about the right hairstyle – a good hairdresser will certainly choose a hairstyle and then our slimmer face will look at us from the mirror.
