If you’ve ever enjoyed your favorite Japanese dish and woke up the next morning looking swollen, you might be familiar with what Julianne Moore calls a “sushi face.” The actress says she never eats sushi the night before a big event because she knows her face will be puffy. While we commonly associate certain foods with stomach bloating, as it turns out, some of them may make your face puffy as well.

We at Bright Side also love sushi and we’re not ready to give it up completely. We decided to find out what other foods tend to make us puffy as well as what we can do about it.

1. Avoid salty foods.

Eating too much salt causes your body to retain water, which results in bloating and gives you a puffy look in the morning. Although there can be many factors that cause bloating, including poor digestion, stress, and food allergies, medical experts recommend lowering your salt intake if you want to wake up camera-ready.

2. Cut back on carbs.

Splashing your face with cold water in the morning may quickly reduce puffiness. Cold water constricts blood vessels and helps to minimize swelling. A cool compress is also one of the easiest and fastest fixes for eye bags and overall facial puffiness. Gently press a clean wet cloth over your eyes for a few minutes to quickly eliminate swelling under your eyes.
