Avoid salt and lots of sugar, cut down on coffee and soda that cotains caffeine. Drink lots of water, eat potatoes, bananas, tomatos, strawberries and pineapple.
If your face is swollen before an event try hot-cold massage. Soak a clean towel in warm water, and put it on your face. Relax for couple minutes, then gently rub your face with a towel that had been soaked in ice cold water. There are also firming facial masks that work well, but this has work best for me. If the swelling is around your eye area, put 2 large spoons (yes, metal spoons) in the freezer for 5 minutes, then press them gently on the eye area.
Also, put highlighter under your eyes before taking pictures.

Lol...i know what you mean. This happens to me after Thanksgiving and Christmas because i eat so much salty food. Another thing i learned is that ibprofen can also cause swelling. I took 2 once upon a time and and i woke up with fat face. The best way to avoid swelling is lowering your salt intake and drinking more water.

Lots of water over a period of time will help flush out and give more elasticity to your skin. For a quick fix around your eyes...try Prep H. It will actually pull the skin tight below your eyes where puffiness is most common.
