Actress Go Joon Hee recently revealed a surprisingly simple trick she uses to reduce facial puffiness.
On March 9, a what’s-in-my-bag video was uploaded to her YouTube channel. In the video, Go Joon Hee showed viewers the various items she carries in her everyday bags while also sharing details about her lifestyle and fashion preferences. She described herself as having a “packrat” style, explaining the sentimental value of her favorite bags, wallet, and keyrings.
However, one small item caught viewers’ attention. While going through her bag, Go Joon Hee pulled out a small hair tie and revealed that it wasn’t actually for tying her hair.
As she’s famous for having bobs or a pixie throughout her career, it’s only natural that she doesn’t own hair ties. The answer? It can be repurposed as a quick depuffing hack.
“People always ask why I carry hair ties when my hair is short. But it’s not for tying my hair. It’s for reducing puffiness.”
She then demonstrated her trick, placing the hair tie around her ear. According to the actress, keeping the hair tie hooked on the ear can help reduce swelling in the face. She also joked that the item is inexpensive and easy to find.
“You can buy a whole pack at convenience stores for about 1,500. When I meet people outside, I sometimes give them one.”
The science behind it is that it activates blood circulation in the face and hits the right nodes to promote deswelling, similar to acupuncture. A truly simple and inexpensive beauty hack!
