Feel like stress & long hours have aged your face?

plus, how to remove face inflammation today

Hello amigos,

Tired of waking up with a puffy face? 

Long hours, stress, and poor circulation can make you look older than you are.

But the good news?

You can fix it—fast.

Most executives don’t realize that facial swelling, fluid retention, and even mild fibrosis (stiff, aging skin) are reversible with the right strategies. 

This isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about optimizing circulation, reducing inflammation, and keeping your skin and body performing at their best.

Here’s how to wake up looking sharper and feeling fresher every day.

Step 1: Drain Excess Fluid

1.1 Bromelain + Quercetin (500 mg each, twice daily) Breaks down trapped proteins and reduces inflammation. Find it at Life Pharmacy or iHerb UAE.

1.2 Cold Therapy (Morning & Mid-Day) Constricts blood vessels and pushes out excess fluid.

  • Ice roller (Amazon, next-day delivery)

  • Cold plunge at Banya Forrest

  • Cryotherapy

1.3 Lymphatic Drainage Massage (3 min, AM & PM) Light sweeping motions from your nose to temples, then down your neck.

  • Use a Jade Roller (available at Sephora UAE)

  • Book a professional session

Results: Noticeable swelling reduction in 1–3 weeks.

Step 2: Stop Overnight Swelling

2.1 Sleep With Your Head Elevated, it prevents fluid pooling. Use an extra pillow or adjustable wedge.

2.2 Magnesium Glycinate (400 mg before bed) Flushes out excess sodium and helps you sleep better. Available at BinSina Pharmacy or iHerb UAE.

2.3 Cut Late-Night Salt Intake Skip salty snacks before bed. Opt for potassium-rich foods like avocado or coconut water.

Results: 30–50% less swelling in just a few nights.

Step 3: Improve Elasticity

3.1 Gua Sha or Microcurrent Therapy (3–5 min daily) Breaks down minor fibrosis and boosts circulation.

In 2–4 Months: Firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Fibrotic areas soften.

For severe fibrosis, commit to red light therapy and micro current long-term.
