Why Your Face Looks Puffy (And What To Do About It)

Why Your Face Looks Puffy (And What To Do About It)

Puffiness is one of the most universal “why do I look like this today?” problems. And it’s usually not your skincare’s fault.

7 common causes of puffiness

  • Salt + dehydration (your body holds water)

  • Poor sleep (fluid shifts)

  • Alcohol (inflammation + dehydration cycle)

  • Stress (jaw tension + holding patterns)

  • Hormonal fluctuations

  • High-sugar meals

  • Not moving enough (general circulation sluggishness)

The simple fix: drainage-style massage + upward sculpting

When you use a tool like SCLPT, you’re doing two helpful things:

  • encouraging a de-puffed appearance through massage

  • lifting the look of the face with upward, controlled strokes

The 60-second de-puff reset (AM)

  • 20s: roll jawline up and out

  • 20s: roll cheeks up toward cheekbone

  • 20s: hold gentle pressure at the jaw hinge, then roll upward again


If puffiness is your daily enemy, SCLPT is the easiest routine to stay consistent with.
