I'm a freelance beauty and culture writer who loves to explore how beauty standards impact the chronically online. A self-confessed skincare addict, I like to talk myself out of spending copious amounts of money on goop by deconstructing the trends and culture that tell me I need it.
Why Is the Internet So Obsessed With Depuffing?
The appearance of your face, this content often implies, directly correlates with your health and how well you care for it. Sometimes it goes even further. One creator I came across recently argued that a bloated “moon face” is a sign of a malfunctioning liver. “Your liver is your detoxing organ, so if you’re inflamed and you’re puffy, it’s likely that you’re not detoxing properly.

You’re fresh out of high school with zero life experience but told that you’re fully equipped to enter the ‘adult world’. You’re still a teenager with an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, exemplified by the fact that Little Fat Lamb is still your tipple of choice.
