Why Your Face Holds Water (And It’s Not Fat)
If your face looks fuller, softer, or less defined some days, it’s usually not fat.
It’s water.
What’s Actually Happening
Your body holds water in response to:
• inflammation
• stress
• hormonal changes
• poor circulation
• lack of lymphatic movement

One day your face looks defined. The next day it looks puffy. That’s because water retention fluctuates quickly. Fat does not.
The Cortisol Connection
Stress increases cortisol, which can cause your body to retain water and look swollen.
