#MAKE A FACE SKIN#

Allergies, a bacterial skin infection called cellulitis, or a sinus problem won’t cause weight gain in your face, but can all cause facial swelling, and they’re all treatable. If changing your diet and cutting out alcohol don’t make a difference, you might want to get a check-up. These kind of amazing non-alcoholic beers prove that point well.

Keep in mind that cutting down on alcohol these days doesn't mean giving up on taste. If you notice your face looks swollen the morning after a few drinks, that’s because alcohol dehydrates the body-so your skin tries to retain as much water as possible.Ĭutting down on booze can help, as can making sure you drink enough water.

But that's not the only way. “We really don't have control over where our body loses fat from first when we start to lose weight.” In other words, there's no workout or device (and there are a few out there) that'll help you lose weight in your face specifically. “As much as it would be great to be able to pick and choose where we lose weight, it isn't possible,” explains Nicole Avena, Ph.D., a nutrition and dieting expert and neuroscience professor at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as targeted facial weight loss. Even if weight gain really is showing up in your face, there are certain things that you can do help that don't require a going under the knife or the needle.
