Get rid of your double chin with this simple exercise

Double chins look so ugly and you desperately want to get rid of it. Usually if you are overweight or obese you tend to have it. But it is not a rule per se.

For those who have a double chin due to excess weight, the best thing to do is try and lose weight.

And an overall weight loss ensures that you lose weight on your chin too. It is as simple as that.

Or maybe not too simple for you. Then read the instructions given below.

Probably that could help you get rid of this unsightly extra projection clinging on to your original chin, almost like a ‘Siamese twin’.

Avoid pillows – sleep on a hard bed. The following exercise, if done daily, will gradually reduce the double chin.

Sit straight in front of a mirror. Look up towards the ceiling. While stretching your neck, turn your head to look over your left shoulder, then to your right shoulder. Return to the starting position and lower the chin to a right angle position with your neck. Press your chin against the clavicle bone in front. This exercise should be done in a slow motion for the best results.

  2. There's another exercise called "kiss the ceiling". Tilt your head back and pucker your lips up and "kiss". Boy, can you feel the pull. My neck and face actually ache after I do this. I've been doing these for about two weeks. Haven't noticed much improvement yet. But, I'm not quitting. I know it's working because I can feel it.

    Another one that you'll really, really feel the muscles working is to tilt your head back, open your mouth all the way and then move your lower jaw up to close your mouth until your teeth touch each other and repeat a few times :-)

    If you are not satisfied with the results from exercising you can always have plastic surgery. The thrifty part of this is...... During a consult with a plastic surgeon ask if a resident can do your surgery, with his/her as an attending physician. This should cut the cost by 70%. It might sound scary having a resident do your surgery but, they are over looked by a very qualified surgeon.

    Thank you . I will definitely start these exercises today because I would like my grand kids to say the same thing about me when I'm in my 90's (or even in my 50's!) Thanks again.

  7. There are several exercises that specifically target the chin and neck area. You have to choose a systematic program that will teach you the proper exercises to stretch, strengthen and firm your chin and neck muscles, thereby reducing accumulated fat safely and naturally. Here's one simple but very effective exercise: Sit or stand straight, then slowly tilt your head back as far as you can. Open your mouth as wide as you can. Do this exercise in 10 to 20 repetitions. This exercise works particularly on strengthening the neck muscles and eliminating fat in the chin area.

    Only cardio excercise will help. You can't spot-reduce fat anywhere.

    To camouflage a double chin, sweep brownish-rose blush along jaw line from just below the ears to chin and blend. Highlight tip of chin with white powder for a slimming effect

    I think the more weight you lose the less noticeable it will be. Maybe check into facial exercises.

  15. Sit erect, and open your mouth as wide as possible. Keep your lips pressed against your teeth. Still pressing your lips tightly against your teeth, move the lower jaw up and down at least 8-10 times.

    Stand erect and tilt your head backwards. Tilt as much as possible. Pout your lips, as if you are kissing the ceiling. This will keep your neck muscles thoroughly stretched. Repeat it 8-10 times.
