Neck jowl is a result of excess sagging skin and poor muscle tone of the two rope-like muscles supporting your neck. You can do facial exercises to strengthen the muscles of the neck and chin in order to get rid of neck jowl. Consult a doctor or dermatologist to decide if these facial exercises are right for you.
Kissing
The kissing exercise uses your chin and neck muscles to help strengthen and tone the neck muscles and eliminate jowls. Sit in a chair with your spine straight and lift your chin up until you're looking at the ceiling. Keep your lips closed and relaxed and then pucker your lips together. Stretch your lips out as you pucker, as if you are trying to kiss the ceiling. Keep your lips puckered for 10 seconds, then lift your head to the starting position. Repeat this five times, once a day.
Lips
Similar to the kissing exercise, this exercise uses your lips to strengthen the front of your neck. Sit up straight and tilt your chin up until you're looking at the ceiling. Keep your lips relaxed but closed. Extend your lower lip and bring it over the top of your upper lip as far as possible. Hold this for five seconds, relax and repeat five times, daily.
Chewing
The chewing exercise gets rid of neck jowl and an unwanted double chin by strengthening and toning the muscles at the front of your neck. Stand up straight and tall with your shoulders back. Tilt your chin up so you're looking at the ceiling. Relax your lips but keep them closed. Move your jaw in a chewing, circular motion 20 times, as if chewing a piece of meat. Pause, then repeat, going in the opposite direction. The muscles at the front of your neck should be tensing and relaxing repeatedly. Perform this once a day.
Front of Neck
This exercise works the platysma muscle, located at the front of the neck, toning your neck and eliminating jowls. Lie face-up on your bed so you're looking at the ceiling. Position your head just slightly off the edge of the bed, with your back and legs firmly on the bed. Tighten your neck muscles and lift your head toward your torso. Hold this position for 10 seconds and repeat five times, thee times a week.
