2. Causes Of Facial Puffiness
The most common cause of facial Puffiness is poor blood circulation and water metabolism. Especially in places such as the eyes and face, the skin is thin, so moisture in the body increases or if the body posture is wrong, the blood circulation and water metabolism are not smooth, edema may occur temporarily. For example, high pillows have a high head, which leads to impaired blood circulation.

Green tea contains antioxidants called katekin(catechin). It plays a role in preventing various diseases and symptoms caused by oxidative stress in the human body. Therefore, it helps in smooth blood circulation and helps to get rid of facial swelling.

Sugar, Syrup + lemon

The reason for adding sugar or syrup is that if you consume this catechin with ascorbic acid (lemon) and sugar, the absorption rate in the body increases by a whopping 3 times. And ascorbic acid is what we commonly call vitamin C. Ascorbic acid lowers the pH to acid and helps the catechin to be absorbed into the body.
4. Precautions
It is not very effective for chronic edema or edema caused by disease. In addition, green tea materials contain catechin, so it is recommended not to drink more than 2 cups a day from 300ml to 1000ml, as excessive consumption can cause dehydration and increase blood sugar.

The amount you drink can depend on the size of the cup. For instance, the JoyJolt Gwen Highball Glasses cup holds 18oz, so in this case, it would be appropriate to drink 2 cups a day. It’s more effective to drink from an 18oz size cup rather than a smaller one to reduce facial puffiness in 20-30 minutes.
If you prefer cold beverages, add ice and drink it in the morning. This can help you start the day with a light and refreshing feeling as the swelling on your face diminishes.
