Why is the skin on my face looks tight and younger looking at about midnight but looks caked/puffy in daytime?

i'm serious here. i find i look much younger and better late night at about 11pm onwards. But my face looks wide and a little swollen during the day. could it be just the daylight playing tricks on me? does this occur to you as well? is it normal for our face muscles or whatever it is that is causing this effect to expand during the daytime?

It sounds like facial edema (bloat) building up while you sleep. It's common in sedentary women with high sodium diets. This naturally goes away as you are upright during the day.





I would try sleeping on your back and slightly elevated on a pillow. Also, try to avoid salt as it will increase water retention. Lastly, morning aerobic excrcise or yoga will increase circulation to your face.
