Excess fat may cause a double chin, which may make you look years older. The chin is one of the most difficult areas of the body to lose weight or tone and firm. It can be done with a regular routine of exercises designed to work the muscles of the jaw, chin and neck. Combined with diet and exercise, getting rid of a double chin or reducing its appearance can be achieved.
Smooching
We don't mean actual smooching someone for this exercise, but pretending you are. Standing or sitting at home, at the office or in the bathroom, lift the face toward the ceiling. Feel the stretch at the front of the neck. Now, purse your lips together like you're getting ready to plant an exaggerated kiss on someone. Push the lips upward toward the ceiling. You should feel more of a pull all along the front of the neck. Hold the pucker for about 2 seconds and then relax. Repeat the pucker part 20 times and then lower the face. You can do this exercise as many as three to five times a day.
Double Chin Eliminator
Lean the head backward, keeping the lips together, suggests the FaceFitnessCenter. Now, open your mouth as wide as you can in a slow motion and then close, repeating the exercise of opening and closing the mouth slowly about 10 times. You'll really feel the pull all along the lower side of the jawline and under the mouth area of the chin.
Lion Pose
The Lion Pose is a traditional Yoga exercise that works the muscles of the face and is especially effective in working the muscles of the mouth, the jaw, chin and neck. Stand facing a mirror if you like, facial muscles relaxed. Then, open your eyes as wide as you can. Open your mouth as wide as you can at the same time. Stick out your tongue as far as it will go. Chances are you'll feel just about every muscle in the face and neck straining with this exercise. Hold the position for a count of three and then relax. Repeat this exercise three to five times to start. You can do this exercise several times a day if you wish.
Chin Stretch
Stand or sit comfortably, back straight and tall, shoulders back. Place your lower lip over your upper lip and then slowly lean the head back. Hold that position and then slowly try to lift your chin toward the ceiling, keeping the lower lip pulled over the upper lip. Hold this position for a count of three and then lower the head so that chin is parallel to the floor and relax the lips. Try this exercise about 10 times. You can repeat this exercise several times a day.
