10 Best Beauty Products For A Puffy Face

Whether our face is inflamed, bloated, overtired or having a reaction to something, a puffy face can be frustrating.

“Puffiness is most typically a sign of allergy. However, puffiness can also be dietary in origin and due to certain medications including oral steroids like prednisone," says cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Mark. “To help treat facial puffiness, you can minimize alcohol and salt in your diet. You can also use anti-inflammatory, topical creams containing antioxidants and, if necessary, prescription strength topical steroids."

While there are countless reasons why our face can be puffy — an allergic reaction, having too much salt, or the side effects of medication — there are also lots of beauty products that can help.
