Women, in pursuit of beauty and youth, are ready to spend incredible amounts of money, trusting the promises of advertising slogans. Before spending money on expensive cosmetics, try what they offer at the pharmacy. Pharmacy products for facial rejuvenation cost differently. But often the effectiveness of drugs does not depend on their price.
It is worth taking into account several options that are in demand by many buyers. They can be a stand-alone rejuvenating agent or combined with other ingredients, turning into an amazingly effective mask or scrub.
Causes of facial swelling
Before you start getting rid of edema, you need to find out the cause of its occurrence. They may be as follows:
1. Insomnia. In this case, facial puffiness appears in the eyelid area. You can correct the situation with the help of compresses, ice, cosmetic masks;
2. Severe fatigue. Stress, lack of sleep, hard work make themselves felt. The face looks “tired”, the area of the nasolabial folds swells, and dark circles appear under the eyes. The most correct decision in this situation is to put aside your business and visit a SPA center; lymphatic drainage massage helps a lot;
3. Excess fluid in the body. The problem occurs especially acutely after drinking a lot of drinks at night and eating a lot of salt. Water is retained in the body and swelling occurs;
4. Hangover. If you had too much alcohol the day before, it will definitely show on your face the next morning. Medications and compresses will help;
5. Poor nutrition. Eating spicy, salty, smoked foods will certainly lead to the formation of edema;
6. Dry air in the apartment. This usually happens in winter, when the central heating starts working. In addition to swelling, the skin on the face acquires a reddish tint, and unpleasant sensations may appear: tingling, burning, itching;
7. A number of diseases. The most common: allergies, kidney problems, heart problems, osteochondrosis, inflammation of the lymph nodes.
Now that we’ve sorted out the most likely causes of swelling, it’s time to find out how to get rid of the problem.

How to remove swelling from the face with medications and ointments
If the appearance of edema is associated with various diseases, you can get rid of them only with the help of drugs that should be prescribed by a doctor:
• Post-traumatic swelling. Occurs from a strong blow. The swelling spreads very quickly, in addition to which a bruise or hematoma occurs. Experts advise immediately applying cold to the injured area on the face. After this, use ointments: “Heparin ointment”, “Indovazin”, “Bruise-Off”, “Badyaga”, “Allantoin”. These medicines contain components that remove inflammation of the walls of blood vessels, prevent blockage of veins, normalize blood circulation, and remove excess fluid through the pores;
• Allergic swelling. You can remove it using any antihistamines (Diazolin, Alleron, Loratodin, Zodak). In severe cases, for example, with Quincke's edema, specialists use serious hormonal drugs, for example, Prednisolone.
• Swelling associated with varicose veins is removed with the help of venotonics, creams, gels and ointments with troxerutin and horse chestnut extract.
• Swelling due to inflammatory processes occurring in the body. In these cases, doctors recommend taking medications, for example, Ibuprofen, Naproxen.
• For diseases of the kidneys, heart, endocrine system with severe edema, diuretics are prescribed that remove excess fluid. In addition, you need to use products that contain potassium.
Important!
In any case, if swelling occurs against the background of any disease, you need to seek help from a doctor, he will prescribe the necessary treatment, since swelling is a consequence, not a cause.
Bepanten
"Bepanten" is a drug produced in the format of cream, ointment and spray. The active ingredient is D-panthenol (vitamin B5), which is known for its regenerating properties. The product relieves swelling well and is recommended during the rehabilitation period after surgery.
For the face it is better to use cream or spray. They have a light texture, are well absorbed and do not clog pores. There are “Bepanten” and “Bepanten Plus”. The latter is characterized by an increased concentration of dexpanthenol and the presence of chlorhexidine in the composition, which disinfects the skin surface and accelerates wound healing.
"Bepanten" is also used to eliminate swelling caused by sunburn. The drug soothes the damaged area, restores the skin and relieves inflammatory swelling. For the face, a standard pea of cream or two sprays is enough. The product should be applied to cleansed skin with light movements and wait until completely absorbed.
How to quickly remove facial swelling after alcohol
If the day before you had a stormy, fun party, with a variety of cocktails and other alcohol, you can be sure that in the morning there will definitely be swelling on your face. The fact is that ethyl alcohol has a detrimental effect on the functioning of internal organs and inhibits the metabolic process. As a result, the body receives intoxication stress. You can remove facial swelling after alcohol in the following ways:
• Take a cool shower. If there are no heart problems, you can use the contrast of warm and cool water;
• Scrub your skin and make a mask, thereby improving your complexion; if there is swelling under the eyes, then use eye patches;
• After a shower, dry your body well with a terry towel. This will increase blood circulation;
• Sorbents will help a lot, if you have “Polysorb” or “Enterosgel” in your medicine cabinet, you can safely take them. The drugs will absorb all the toxic substances that are in the body;
• Remember to stay hydrated throughout the day. Drink plenty of cool water, perhaps with lemon juice and fresh mint sprigs. This drink not only refreshes, but also perfectly tones.
• Eat something with a lot of carbohydrates, fast food, cake, cookies.
• Glycine tablets help fight a hangover; you can take 5 to 10 tablets.
A big mistake many people make is to have a hangover the next day. In this case, the swelling will not only not go away, but, on the contrary, will intensify.
Curiosin gel
Decongestants for the face may have anti-aging effects. For example, a pharmaceutical product for the skin of the eyelids is Curiosin gel. The gel is especially effective in caring for mature skin. It is based on hyaluronic acid, which, by attracting water molecules, can moisturize the upper layers of the skin, smooth out wrinkles and remove excess fluid.
The product is best used in a course: twice a day for a month. The gel is applied morning and evening to clean skin of the eyelids. As an alternative, you can use Blefarogel 1. “Curiosin” can be enriched with vitamin A, E or cosmetic oil.
How to remove facial swelling at home

• Place a used green tea bag on your eyelids. This method is especially good in the morning. Black tea leaves will stain the skin and give a light tanning effect, so it is not recommended to use it;
• A real elixir for swelling is fresh cucumber. Cut a thin slice of the vegetable and apply it to your eyes. Leave it for 10-15 minutes until it completely releases its moisture. You can also use potato slices. Just try to choose seasonal vegetables that were grown in garden beds and not treated with chemical components;
• A mask of parsley and lemon juice will quickly whiten your face. This recipe is suitable for girls with oily skin. You will need a small bunch of finely chopped parsley and 50 ml of freshly squeezed juice. The ingredients are mixed together and applied to the face. The mask lasts for 15-20 minutes, after which it is washed off with warm water. Don't forget to apply moisturizer after the procedure. For dry skin, replace juice with rich sour cream;
• Another effective way is to use frozen coffee cubes. Prepare the drink in advance, pour it into special molds and place it in the freezer. If you find swelling in the morning, wipe your skin with a similar coffee cube. The face will look fresh. This procedure is contraindicated for respiratory diseases, as well as for neuritis of the facial nerves.
The good thing about traditional methods is that you always have the necessary components at hand, which are included in mask recipes. The effect they produce is wonderful. In just 30 minutes you can put your facial skin in order: remove puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.

Compresses for facial swelling
At home, you can remove swelling with compresses. The procedure is not complicated, the algorithm of actions is as follows:
1. First you need to prepare the napkins that you will apply to your face. It is better that they are linen or cotton;
2. Prepare the desired mixture (recipes will be discussed below);
3. The procedure is performed only in a supine position. The drainage of lymph in this case is better;
4. The napkin needs to be thoroughly moistened, squeezed a little (so that the liquid does not drain), and applied to the face;
5. You need to keep the product for 5-10 minutes until it dries completely;
6. After completing the procedure, apply a moisturizer.
Cosmetologists advise putting the napkin in the freezer for a few minutes before the procedure; the effect of the compress will only increase.
It's time to talk about recipes for compress mixtures:
• One of the most effective remedies for edema can be considered a salt solution. To prepare, we need 2 liters of hot water, 60 g of table salt. Combine the ingredients, moisten a napkin and apply to your face. The procedure will take 5-10 minutes, do not overexpose, otherwise irritation may occur;

Acne treatment products
Clearvin, Skinoren, Rozamet, Tsinocap, Baziron, Anekutan, Skin-Cap are used in the treatment of acne. The drugs normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and prevent excessive secretion production. They fight inflammation that develops due to clogged pores. The result of course therapy is a reduction in the number of acne, the disappearance of unsightly greasy shine, and the elimination of redness. And to remove dents and scars left after squeezing out pimples, Contratubex is used. The gel is also effective against hypertrophic and keloid scars that occur after surgery, amputations, burns and injuries.
Massage for facial swelling
If compresses and masks do not help cope with the problem, you can perform a massage. Strengthen blood microcirculation, lymph outflow and swelling will go away quite quickly.
Let's consider the technique of performing lymphatic drainage facial massage
• Connect several fingers (index, middle, ring). Smoothly start moving from the base of the eyebrows to the temples. At the same time, you should not experience pain;
• Move to the neck area. Move down to your collarbones. Movements should be smooth, not rushed;
• Using your middle finger, begin to move from the lower eyelid to the temple. In this area, the skin is delicate and sensitive, so it is better to lubricate your fingertips with oil or cream;
• Do the same movements in the area of the upper eyelid. Do not press too hard on the skin, otherwise the swelling will only increase and bruises will appear;
• Also massage the area of the nasolabial folds. Make movements from top to bottom.
It is better to massage in front of a mirror. Repeat each exercise 8-10 times. To enhance the effect, it is better to apply oil to the skin before the procedure. After the massage is finished, wash your face with warm water (it is better not to use cold water, so as not to chill the heated muscles). You can use a gel or tonic, these products will remove excess fat.
Lymphatic drainage massage has a number of contraindications:
• Too severe rosacea;
• Increased body temperature;
• Colds;
• Inflammations, burns, cuts on the skin;
• Oncology.
This type of massage, when performed correctly, gives an amazing effect.
Zinc ointment
Decongestants for the face are often applied locally. Zinc ointment is used for the skin under the eyes. Due to poor blood circulation, bags and bruises can form there. It contains zinc oxide and auxiliary substances: petroleum jelly or lanolin.
Zinc is able to relieve inflammation, disinfect the skin and accelerate its regeneration. Since the skin of the eyelids is thin and delicate, it is recommended to mix the ointment with a moisturizer or baby cream.
The ointment mask is applied as follows:
- The skin is cleansed of makeup with a special product or oil.
- Cream and ointment are mixed in a 2:1 ratio.
- The resulting mixture is applied with patting movements from the inner corners to the outer ones.
- After the ointment has dried, it can be removed with a cotton pad moistened with warm water.
The active ingredient of the drug is an extract from bovine blood. It is rich in proteins, accelerates the supply of oxygen to the skin, stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the skin.

Antimycotic agents
Antifungal dermatological products in pharmacies are presented in a wide range. They are produced by domestic and foreign manufacturers in the form of ointments, creams, lotions, and shampoos. Antimycotic agents are used in the treatment of fungal infections of the skin and nails, as well as the scalp. Their main components disrupt the production of ergosterols by cells of infectious agents. Without these proteins, the construction of membranes and, consequently, the growth and reproduction of pathogens becomes impossible. The following remedies have proven themselves well in the treatment of mycoses:
- Terbinafine;
- Terbizil;
- Miconazole;
- Exifin;
- Lamisil;
- Thermikon;
- Exoderil;
- Mikonorm.
They do an excellent job with foot and body fungus, reducing inflammation, eliminating pain, itching and burning. And for nail damage (onychomycosis), Loceril and Oflomil varnishes are used.
