The chubby cheeks and double chin are the signs of excess body fat showing off your face. It may look nice on a child, but an average young adult hates it as the face looks bigger and less attractive.
Obesity and aging are the main causes of double chin. You can get rid of your double chin by losing some weight, changing eating habits and building a new routine of neck and face exercises.
If you remove excess body fat, and tone the skin which loses collagen and elasticity as we age, then you can easily lose a double chin and regain your thinner looking face looks.
Look attractive again...
1. Reduce Weight
Eat healthy food low in fat and rich in proteins. Reduce carbohydrate intake. These are normal healthy eating habits. If you are overweight, then you will have to adjust to new habits. The craving of food should be satiated with drinking water. In fact if you drink more water and avoid junk foods, then you will lose weight permanently as long as you maintain the healthy eating habits.
The fat that is appearing on your cheeks and the entire face is one of the main causes of the double chin for adults and teenagers. You need to fix it by healthy methods. Don't overindulge in dieting which leads to malnutrition.
Genetic and aging are the other two reasons for your double chin. Skin toning to regain the lost elasticity will help to lose double chin. Following exercises will help.
2. Exercises to Remove Double Chin
You will need both regular exercises to reduce overall body fat and area specific and neck and chin exercises to get the best results. Do any exercises of your choice that help you to reduce weight. We are not focusing on those essential exercises here, but we want to focus on neck and chin exercises.
Neck Tilting - Sit straight on a chair. Keep your spine vertical and shoulders relaxed. Slowly move your face up to look at the ceiling. Your back and shoulders shouldn't move at all. Breathe in slowly while moving your head up. Keep looking at the ceiling for some time holding your breath for a count of 4 and begin to move your face down. Slowly breath out. Let your chin touch your chest. Keep it there for sometime. Count up to four and begin the movement of the face upward with inhalation as done before. Repeat such cycles for 10-15 minutes 4-6 times daily.
Lip Movement - Once again sit in the straight back position on a chair. Tilt your face up towards the ceiling to look at the ceiling. Inhale while moving the face up. Hold your face towards the ceiling, open the lips in "o" shape and slowly exhale. Close your mouth, keep your face looking up and inhale through the nose, then exhale through the mouth rolling the lips in O shape. Keep your face looking at the ceiling throughout the process. After five minutes, do the above neck tilting exercise or a minute and get back to the lip movement exercise for another 5 minutes.
Neck Rotation - in the sitting posture keep your back straight and rotate your face and neck slowly towards the right. Keep your chin up throughout in a comfortable gaze. You don't have to tilt your face towards the ceiling. Just keep the chin up. Keep the face in the right for the count of four and slowly rotate it towards the left. After reaching the extreme left, keep it on the left for the count of four and slowly reverse towards the right. Keep doing this for 20 minutes.
All the above exercises can be done in a standing position also. You decide whether sitting suites suits you or standing depending on your circumstances.
