A double chin occurs due to excess weight, ageing and sometimes because of genetics. For those who are beauty conscious, this can be very troubling. Having a double chin because of one reason or another can cause stigma which leads to low self esteem. No need to worry though because this article will tell you just how to get rid of the double chin and ultimately go back to the beautiful you.
Lose Weight
As mentioned above weight gain is one of the major causes of double chin so if you lose weight it will help to reduce double chin. Food rich in fats, carbohydrates and sugar are processed and get stored in the chin, arms and thighs since they are hard for the body to break. Better reduce the intake of these foods. Incorporate your diet with foods rich in lean proteins, whole grains and low fat dairy. Your face will slim down as you lose weight.
Exercise
You donβt have to go to the gym to reap the benefits of exercise. You can do jogging, dancing, walking, swimming or cycling to burn calories and lose weight. Burning fat will help in reducing chin fat. Also consider doing chin exercises in order to get rid of the double chin. Chin exercises will help in removing excess fat which in turn eliminates the double chin. One natural way of doing chin exercises is chewing sugar free gum. Constant chewing means your jaw is continuously moving and this burns that fat under your chin. You can as well massage the jaw area and your neck using cocoa butter or wheat germ oil to increase blood circulation. Rolling your neck and tilting your head also makes the chin and neck muscles strong.
Good Posture
Wrong head posture emphasizes the occurrence of the double chin as it stretches the skin around the chin making it hang. Always strive to look straight forward to maintain a better posture. Keep your back straight. If you work in an office setting then you should consider investing in an ergonomic chair to help you maintain proper posture at all times.
Makeup
Make up can act as a temporary and fast way of getting rid of the double chin especially if it is for a special occasion. Use different shading to hide the double chin and divert peoples attention to your shoulders, cheeks, lips, neckline sand enhanced jaws. When peopleβs attention is diverted to other parts of the body no one will pay attention to the double chin.
To conclude, a double chin occurs as another layer of fat under the chin that looks like another chin. With a little dedication and some exercises, you will be able to get rid of the double chin and have that flawless good looking face. Of course a quicker way of getting rid of the double chin is through surgery but it is always good to choose the natural and effective ways to avoid any future complications.
