I hate when i just wake up in the morning and my face is more puffy than usual, it makes me look more masculine because the face seems even bigger...does anyone know what I am talking about or is it just me?

I know that happens to some people when they wake up. Usually puffiness goes away during the day. If it's not going away, you may be retaining water. It could be something worth googling, since it's pretty common.

I found out that if I eat to much salt, I get bloated in the morning.
Strangely enough, I look more feminine with puffy eyes!

Oh yes how come I look so horrible. Some days I look great then others I get puffy eyes and wrinkles and when I do my makeup I just look like an old bag.

It's a pitty that I have to have extra salt due to sodium loss. The key is moisturize yourself silly and get a facial done at a day spa.

I only experience puffiness in the morning when I am sick. (Cold, Flu, etc.) Other than that, I try to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night. And, almost always sleep on my back. Some people sleep on their tummies or sides which can encourage puffiness or wrinkles.

tummy for me, or i just cant sleep ><
when my boobs were growing it was hell!

I would prefer a puffy face as most genetic females have fatter faces.

Odd little factoid....

Womens heads are larger in proportion to there bodies than mens heads....

Mens heads only appear larger due to the browridge and jaw structures....

Women tend to look more "puffy" in general... I know I do and I know it helps so *shrugs*  I really dont know what to say....

Women's brains are also larger in comparison to their body mass.

the human brain is the same size, the body just varies

...... a genetic legacy from my mother,  the gift of mpb 

I got the gift of mpb also, but between the spiro, estradiol, patches, and Minoxydil, it's growing back.  Now, instead of a 2-1/2 inch bald patch on my crown, it's grown over.  You can still see through easy enough, but  more new hairs are filling in.  Also, the rest of the top of my head is growing more hair, and though it's not supposed to, it's filling in the recession somewhat in the front.
