7 Effective Exercises To Reduce A Double Chin And Look Younger

Apr 24, 2018

Even slender people can have a double chin, and it's often an infuriating sight. Double chins are caused by reduced skin elasticity due to age, weak facial muscles from constant slouching, or unhealthy eating habits. Strengthening your face to improve your appearance can help.

Before trying these exercises, prepare by gently stretching your neck in a circle and nodding up and down. 
 

With good posture, lift your chin and push your lips out into smooching position for up to 20 seconds. 
 

Open your mouth as wide as you can and reach outwards with your tongue, curling it towards your chin. Hold for a few seconds, relax, then repeat.
 

While looking upwards, actively open your jaw and hold for a moment. Then, consciously and mindfully use your muscles to close your mouth. Hold for another moment, then repeat several times.
 

Elevate your chin while sitting upright and pucker your lips as if whistling for up to 20 seconds. 
 

Pull your cheeks inwards with your chin slightly elevated, making a face like a goldfish. 
 

In any position, puff out your cheeks to their maximum capacity and hold for 20 seconds.
 

Clench your hands into fists and nestle them under your chin. Press your hands downward with your neck muscles to improve strength. A round object like a piece of fruit or a ball can also be used. 

Exercise is an all-body event, and when we focus on our abs or butts we sometimes forget about smaller muscle groups. Now that you've learned these helpful exercises, you'll have the face of your dreams in no time.
