Face Exercises – How To Prevent And Get Rid Of A Double Chin?
Are there face exercises for a double chin?
Yes … luckily.
Double chin is a pretty common problem. It creeps up quietly on us.
You barely notice it in the beginning.
First, the chin just seems to have blended in with the neck.
And then, the flat under-chin area develops the flab. You notice a “second” chin.
How did that happen?
Well, double chins can develop overtime.
Here are a few possible causes:
1. Hereditary
2. Fluid retention
3. Weight problem
4. Dietary choices
There are numerous face exercises that target double chin.
Here is one simple face exercise that I like.
This face exercise works the following muscles:
Mentalis
The mentalis is a face muscle located at about the most pronounced part of the chin on each side of the face.
Platysma
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle positioned between the collar bone and the jaw, whose action is to depress the jaw.
Sternomastoid
Another name for sternomastoid is sternocleidomastoid.
This is one of two muscles located on the front of the neck which serve to turn the head from side to side.
Masseter
The masseter is a face muscle located in the cheek area on each side of the face.
Face Exercise To Get Rid Of Double Chin
1. Stretch out your neck as far behind as it will go.
2. Open and close your mouth slowly.
4. Feel the tension build up in the muscles of the neck and lower chin.
3. Repeat this exercise 10 times.
Note:
Tilting the head backwards can be rather uncomfortable.
Here’s what I do to make this exercise easier.
a) Remain seated during the exercise.
b) Support your head with your hands placed behind the head.
c) Close your eyes during the exercise.
The above face exercise works for double chin and also helps to tone sagging jowls.
This exercise adds definition to your jaw line too.

Face Exercises – Why Doing Just One Facial Exercise May Not Be Enough
What face exercises are you doing?
I have been thinking about the face exercises videos that I’ve up on YouTube lately. Some of you might have already viewed those videos here on my blog.
By all means, these workout demos, “Lose Your Chubby Cheeks” and “Lift Your Sagging Jowls” are simple and effective face exercises you can all do at home.
However, a nagging thought bugs me.
What if my readers think that by following ONE face exercise exactly 100%, they could fix the problem there and then.
No. That would be misleading the readers.
So I have decided to put things in the right perspective. Hear me ramble.
Those face exercises are indeed the proper facial workout people are doing to lose chubbiness or to lift saggy jowls.
However, it is NOT the only ONE face exercise required of you.
Why do I need more face exercises?
Because each face exercise serves a different purpose(s).
For example, Face Exercise 1 helps to relax and release muscle tension. Face Exercise 2 works to tone and lift the face muscles. And Face Exercise 3 serves to build and strengthen the facial muscles.
The muscles in the face benefit from a variety of workouts. Each part of the face, whether it’s the cheek muscles or the jaw muscles require different forms of muscular stimulation to get it in top shape.
Also, in reality, the face area isn’t that big. The face is just about the length of an out-stretch palm. Hence the face muscles are small, unlike the body muscles.
As such, even with a face exercise that target specific sets of facial muscles, it is not exact science to be able to isolate one set of muscles from another set of neighboring muscles. And there are times when you want to work several sets of muscle groups simultaneously.
For instance, you want to lift sagging jowls. Your focus is on doing jowls exercise. But don’t forget, the cheeks are the jowls’ up-stair neighbor. You have to work the cheeks too.
Otherwise, when flabby cheeks slide downwards, the jowls become more pronounced.
That’s why we always have more than one exercise to address a problem area of the face.
Would doing a single face exercise be in vain?
Certainly not. Your efforts still pays off. Every exercise brings some benefits.
Whenever you exercise the face, it stimulates blood circulation and detox of the face. Muscles activity remove toxins and brings much needed oxygen and nutrients to the skin.
You also improve muscle tone to a problem area.
Often, this is one of the first steps you need to do when planning to slim the face or to improve the facial contour.
What should I do next?
If you are after a toned face and radiant skin, you should exercise the face so that you work all the muscle groups of the face. You want balance and symmetry when you workout the facial muscles.
The face needs “maintenance” as we age. Double chin, jowls, wrinkles … all areas of the face will be a concern to you. Sooner or later, the face will need your attention to help lift or tuck.
You can now learn the face exercises others are doing to get the face in shape.

Face Exercises – A Lower Face Lift Exercise Targeting Sagging Jowls
I have been looking at face exercises for the jowls. As usual, I need the face exercise to be effective, yet simple enough for anyone to do it at home.
But first, what are jowls?
Jowls form when the cheeks sag. Essentially, jowls are loose hanging skin and facial fat on either side of the face that descend down to or below the jawline.
As we age, the jowls become prominent and sag. This is a common feature of facial aging. Often, you would see people in their 50s with pronounced sagging jowls.
The lower face or lower cheek area is fuller. Jowls create an unflattering rectangle shape jaw line. The lower face can look ‘lumpy’ and soft.
Some people are bothered by the appearance of jowls. They can make one look older and fat in the face.
There are numerous face exercises that target sagging jowls.
Here is one effective lower face lift exercise that I like.
This face exercise work the following muscles:
Platysma
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle positioned between the collar bone and the jaw, whose action is to depress the jaw.

This is one of two muscles located on the front of the neck which serve to turn the head from side to side.
Mentalis
The mentalis is a face muscle located at about the most pronounced part of the chin on each side of the face.
Masseter
The masseter is a face muscle located in the cheek area on each side of the face.
Lower Face Lift Exercise For Sagging Jowls
1. Sit up straight.
2. Push your jaw forward.
3. Hold for 10 seconds.
4. Draw your jaw inwards (back to its original position).

Even though this is a very simple exercise, it is powerful because it works the chin, jaw and neck muscles at the same time. It sculpts and tones the jowls and chin and redefine a smooth jaw line.

Face Exercises – Do You Want A Natural And Painless Face Lift?
Face exercises or cosmetic surgery?
Would you choose face exercises if it can help you get a ‘face-lift’ without pain?
I know, I can almost hear you say, “But doing face exercises is a pain”.
Isn’t that true. For some of us, any type of exercise is a chore … or torture.
But are there better options? How can you have a toned, younger looking face without having to go for cosmetic surgery or botox injections.
A surgical face-lift can create dramatic improvements in your appearance. On the other hand, face exercises may take a longer time to show results. When doing face exercises, you first feel the difference(in your face muscles) before you can see the difference.
And when you continue to do the face workout regularly, other people will start to notice the difference in your facial appearance.
Here are a few reasons why you might want to choose face exercises over cosmetic surgery:
1. You want to look your best. But you are not keen about cosmetic surgery.
2. You do not want to spend a lot of money.
3. You have thought of cosmetic surgery and botox. However, to maintain the good looks, you might need additional procedures in the future. And this puts you off.
4. Face exercises give your skin a healthy radiant glow. A surgical face-lift doesn’t get you such result.
5. You prefer a holistic or alternative approach to beauty and fitness.
If this is the first time you hear about face exercises, why not give it a try and see if it works for you.
It could be a good thing to do before you take the extreme leap to undergo a cosmetic or surgical procedure.
For some people, doing face exercises is the way to go. It takes a little more effort and time. But the results might just be enough to make you realize, you don’t need a surgical face-lift after all.
