Over time, you may notice changes in your appearance and see that your chin has started to lose its youthful, firm look. As you skin starts to sag, you might start looking for a cure, or a way to reverse time. You can strengthen muscles in the chin area with daily exercises; as the muscles become stronger, your chin will become resistant to sagging skin.
Chewing and Kissing
These exercises mimic real-life motions to strengthen your chin. Tilt your head toward the ceiling with your mouth closed. Start chewing as if you have food in your mouth, and continue for 20 to 30 seconds. With your head tilted toward the ceiling, press your lips together to form a kiss. Hold the kiss for five seconds, relax and repeat five times.
Isotonic Chin Press
This exercise uses natural resistance to firm your sagging chin. Sit comfortably, with your head level and the backs of your hands on the bottom of your chin. Smile wide and curl your tongue toward the back of your mouth. The bottom of your tongue should be touching the roof of your mouth. Open your mouth to lower your jaw into your hands while also pressing against your chin with your hands. Hold this position for five seconds, rest and repeat for 10 to 15 total repetitions.
Frontal Raise
Stand or sit comfortably, with your head level. Place your lower lip over your upper lip and slowly tilt your head back. Stop when you are staring at the ceiling. Hold this tilted position for one to two seconds, then slowly lower your head back down. Perform three to five repetitions. As you build strength, perform 10 to 15 repetitions or increase the time you hold your head in the tilted position to five to 10 seconds.
Tongue Press
Moving your tongue might seem like a common daily activity but it can aid in firming up your sagging chin. Place your hands on your chin and press your tongue to the roof of your mouth. You should notice your muscles tightening in your chin. Slowly tilt your head backward, pause for a second and lower your head back down to the starting position. Perform 10 to 15 times.
