In order to work with that, we need to spend a few minutes in the morning helping lymph to drain, soothing inflammation, and flushing everything out. Plug recommends giving your body love first thing in the morning with a warm lemon and some gentle exercise like walking or yoga to get the lymph moving—the main culprit of a puffy face. Plug stresses the importance of technique here—use light circles and keep your fingers glued to the same patch of skin so you move the skin itself in circles. This works with lymph because it’s superficial, sits right under the skin, and responds to more gentle touch. That will be lymph-activating. Lymph nodes stimulate the facial puffiness.
