Not going to the gym for 2 weeks made my face puffy

[Deusmaximus]

Was sick for 2 weeks. No gym. Die not gain weight, but i feel like my face got puffy.
Is it possible that lack of sport makes the face retain more water??

i have experienced something similar when physically inactive for 2 weeks or longer, might have something to do with the fact that working out gives you a better hormone profile and a lack of exercise leads to worse hormones and therefore facial bloating idk tho.

After a workout my face always looks way leaner

I’ve noticed a similar effect. Lifting seems to make the face look a bit better. Not sure why, could be all in my head but a lot of people report the same effect.
