Facial edema or puffiness of the face occurs mainly due to inflammation and the accumulation of fluids. There are several causes of facial edema, heat being one of them. When a person sits under the sun for a prolonged period, blood vessels become dilated, causing the leakage of fluids in the body tissues. Also, dry, itchy skin and a serious sunburn can make a face puffy or swollen.
