Having neck jowl is a result of loose skin and poor muscle tone. There are two main muscles that support the neck from the shoulders to the base of the skull. Facial exercises and exercises to strengthen the neck muscles can help you get rid of neck jowl so you have a toned, slender neck.

Chewing Exercise

This exercise helps get rid of neck jowl and a double chin by strengthening the muscles at the front of your neck. Sit or stand straight and tilt your chin up so you are looking at the ceiling. Keep your lips relaxed but closed and move your jaw in a chewing motion 20 times, as if you are eating dinner. You will feel the muscles at the front of your neck working. Perform this exercise daily for three to four weeks.

Kissing Exercise

Sit straight with your spine elongated and tilt your head up so you are looking at the ceiling. Purse your lips and stretch them out as if you are trying to kiss the ceiling.

Return your tongue to your mouth and return your head to the starting position. Perform once a day for three to four weeks.
