TL;DR
Practical, safe ways to de-puff your face in 24–72 hours and sharpen your lower third.
Why your face puffs up
Facial bloat is mostly water retention driven by sodium, alcohol, poor sleep and stress. The good news: it reverses quickly.
The 72-hour protocol
- Cut added salt and processed food.
- Drink more water, not less.
- Sleep 7–9 hours, head slightly elevated.
- Skip alcohol.
- Cold exposure (cold water splash) in the morning.
