The best solutions to end water retention

by Blanca

With rising temperatures, the problem of fluid retention worsens, but at Skinvity we give you the best solutions for it, take note!

The heat has arrived in full force, and so has fluid retention. Changes in diet, rising temperatures, standing for long periods... these are some of the reasons why our bodies retain excess fluids.

How can you tell if you're retaining water? Some of the most noticeable symptoms are bags under the eyes, or swollen hands and ankles. But there's a solution for everything, and today we're sharing the most effective ones.

Good hydration

In all our beauty routines, we talk about skin hydration, but we shouldn't neglect internal hydration. Drink plenty of water, especially at this time of year. If you're still struggling, don't force it; start slowly, but the important thing is to start. Skinvity tip: If you don't like drinking water, you can use flavored tablets—sugar-free, preservative-free, and calorie-free.

Incorporate Glo 910+ and Fiexeye into your daily routine

Combine two of today's most popular devices to help you eliminate water retention. For treating your legs, abdomen, and arms, use the Glo 910+ device. Thanks to its various attachments, it will help drain and eliminate excess fluids. In addition, its cryomassage attachment will provide a cooling sensation as it moves, leaving your legs feeling lighter, more agile, and toned.

For treating under-eye bags, the best solution is the Fixeye device, which combines four technologies in one. It features heat therapy, LED light, EMS, and vibration. Thanks to these four technologies, you'll reduce your bags by eliminating excess fluid.

Take 10,000 steps a day

Now, we all have an app that monitors our activity levels. To prevent water retention, physical exercise is a basic recommendation to follow. Try to walk 10,000 steps a day; with just this small change in your daily routine, you'll start to see results. To make it easier, get hooked on the latest podcast; we're currently listening to "Cariño, ¿Pero qué dices?" by Laura Escanes and Risto Mejide.

Pay attention to your diet

With vacations in the way, we often forget to maintain a healthy diet, something that shouldn't happen. At this time of year, you should eat diuretic foods like cucumber, celery, and watermelon; you can eat as much pineapple as you like. Fresh foods are key; pre-cooked meals should be avoided, as they tend to have more salt than recommended, and as we all know, salt is the biggest contributor to water retention.

Add anti-inflammatory foods to your diet; nuts, legumes, and vegetables are examples of this. They will help reduce the production of substances that stimulate tissue inflammation.

Thermal contrasts

Take advantage of your shower time to alternate between hot and cold water. This will increase blood flow and activate your nervous system, helping to eliminate water retention. If you can't tolerate temperature changes, we recommend avoiding hot water and opting for a more lukewarm temperature, as the heat won't be helpful.

Follow all the tips and enjoy the benefits; to stop fluid retention you must be consistent and not forget any of these guidelines.
