Many people can live with chubby cheeks but draw a line at a double chin.
Not that we can blame them since double chin makes your skin look saggy and make you look way older than you originally are.
Although it isn’t necessarily a sign of poor health, a double chin can take a huge chunk of your self-esteem.
Plus, considering the kind of world we live in today, having a double chin is not the best time–not if you want to survive in a time where physical appearance seems to matter so much more than ever before.
And this is where jaw exercises come into play.
Today, we will be going over some exercises that can help reduce the appearance of your double chin.
Some of which may be a familiar movement to you, such as the fish face, so keep an eye out for these exercises by watching until the end.
How can jaw exercises impact your double chin?
Although there’s little scientific research on the effect of jaw exercise on a double chin, they are indeed designed to target the muscles of the neck and face.
Working these muscles can help shed off fat in these areas, which may be a great help in getting rid of a double chin.
Of course, it’s a must to perform these exercises regularly for the best results.
Plus, they’re completely natural so you won’t have to worry about breaking the bank to rely on Botox or other cosmetic procedures.
1. Fish face
You may have done tons of fish face in your childhood years, but this time, you may need to relive this childhood habit for the sake of your jawline.
Just suck your cheeks in and hold it in for 15 to 20 seconds.
Do this for 5 to 6 times.
2. Chin touch
A chin touch will place maximum tension around your under-chin area.
To do it, simply stick your tongue out and try to touch your chin with it.
If you can’t do it, that’s okay.
Just keep at it for 5 to 10 seconds and then relax.
Do this for 10 to 15 times.
3. Tongue stretch
Another simple jaw exercise is tongue stretch.
Just look straight ahead and stick your tongue out as far as you can.
Raise your tongue upward and toward your nose.
Hold this position for 10 seconds and release.
Do 10 to 15 tongue stretches a day.
4. Pucker up
Tilt your head back and look at the ceiling.
Pucker your lips like you’re kissing the ceiling.
Doing so will stretch the area under your chin.
Stop puckering then bring your head back to its normal position.
Do this exercise for 10 to 15 times.
5. Bottom jaw jut
Like a pucker up, tilt your head back and look at the ceiling.
Then, look at the right.
Next, slide your bottom jaw forward.
Maintain this position for 5 to 10 seconds before releasing it.
Repeat the same process with your head turned to the left.
Perform 10 to 15 bottom jaw juts.
