Puffy Face Juice

So today a small post on a recipe for "Puffy Face Juice" - think Vince Vaughn - I saw his photo the other day - and thought that man needs a good food detox and some Puffy Face Juice. I tend to carry "puff" in my face as well - with me I think it is mostly due to allergies and the lymphs in my neck not draining properly - probably my liver struggling too - not sure. About 6 months ago I started drinking what I call "Puffy Face Juice" and doing self lymphatic massage on my jawline neck. I've had people comment that my face/neck look slimmer so something must be working...

Puffy Face Juice
  • 1c blueberries (anti-oxidants)
  • 1c pineapple (diuretic)
  • 1/4 of small beet (helps to stimulate the liver and get bile flowing)
  • 1 medium piece of ginger (warming)
  • 1 medium apple (helps body clear out toxins)
  • 1/2 medium cucumber (electrolyte-restoring) OR 1c watermelon - I switch it up depending on what I can find.
Run all through your juicer and drink as soon as possible after you make it so you don't lose any of the nutrients.
    Lymphatic Face Massage
    Just under the jawline (where your doctor feels to see if you have swollen glands - there) press firmly but not hard on both sides hold for 4-6 seconds then stroke upwards towards the face lightly - and that's it. Once a day in the shower in the morning or before bed.

    BerryBlue, bouncing on a Rebounder will also get your Lymphatic system moving properly. Just 15 - 30 minutes a day.

    I've been looking for a reason to buy a Rebounder! :) Thanks for the tip.
