Face Puffiness
Temporary facial swelling from fluid retention — mostly sleep, salt, alcohol and allergies.
A puffy face, especially in the morning, is usually fluid retention rather than fat. Common drivers are short or poor sleep, high salt intake in the evening, alcohol, allergies, and sleeping flat on your face. Because it is fluid, it changes day to day — which is why people look noticeably sharper on some days than others without any real change in body fat.
It explains the day-to-day swing in how defined your face looks, and the fixes are cheap.
