“Losing face fat specifically can be tricky because spot reduction (losing fat from one specific area) isn’t really possible. However, you can reduce overall body fat, and with time, your face will slim down too,” says Udita. Let’s take a look at her advice:

1. Focus on overall fat loss

To reduce face fat, you need to work on overall fat loss.

Create a calorie deficit: burn more calories than you consume.
Combine clean eating with regular physical activity for best results.

2. Eat a clean, balanced diet

Avoid salty, sugary, and processed foods, they lead to bloating and water retention, especially in the face.

Include in your diet:

High-protein foods for fat loss and satiety
Healthy fats like nuts and seeds
Plenty of water and fibre-rich fruits and vegetables

3. Stay hydrated

Drink at least 2–3 litres of water daily.

Dehydration can make your face look puffier and more bloated.

4. Reduce stress and sleep well

High stress increases cortisol levels, leading to fat storage.
Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night.
Poor sleep can cause bloating and water retention, especially in the face.

5. Try facial exercises (optional, but can help with toning)

While they won’t directly burn fat, they may improve muscle tone and facial definition. Try:

Puffing your cheeks and moving the air from side to side
Smiling with clenched teeth and holding for 10 seconds
The “fish face” (suck in cheeks and hold for a few seconds)

6. Cut back on alcohol and sugary drinks

Alcohol dehydrates and leads to water retention.
Sugary beverages add empty calories and contribute to fat gain.
