The degree of my facial puffiness seems commensurate with my age. The older I get, the greater my natural morning bloat. I’ve tried stacks of gels, masks and lotions, all designed to de-puff – and indeed, my intention this week was to recommend a couple of them here. But I can’t in all honesty, because although some can occasionally help, I still believe one gets better and more satisfying results from a massage tool, which has the additional benefit of never running out.
You’ll have seen some, I’m sure. “Cryoglobes” are all the rage. These are glass orbs filled with gel that you keep in pairs in the freezer, ready for a basic facial self-massage. The idea is that the combination of light pressure (believed to encourage the drainage of fluids) and low temperature will reduce the puffiness common to morning – or morning after – eyes and cheeks.
