How to Reduce Summertime Swelling - Beauty Tips

Swollen Ankles and Face in the Late Summer

By Kathleen Lisson, CMT, CLT

Late Summer means hotter weather and if you've noticed that your face is puffier and your ankles swell in the summer, you're not alone.  How to slim down a swollen body part? Use ice to cool down that swelling! 

• The simplest trick is to rub ice cubes on your face, focusing on the eyes and cheeks. 

• An ice massage can end up pretty soggy, so consider investing in a beauty tool like an ice roller or jade roller. Store your roller in the fridge or freezer for instant relief. 

• Going out with friends at night and don't want to show off puffy ankles? Wear compression socks under a pair of pants during the day to keep feet and ankles from swelling, then show off your feet in a pair of sandals or heels at night.
