How to get rid of double a chin?
Although as we get older our skin and muscles tend to become more lax, this doesn't mean that a double, sometimes triple, chin is inevitable.
Cause of double chin
Lack of exercise: The way we hold our head contributes to the muscles becoming flabby and withered. Without exercise, fat deposits find a home here and as a result, we have the double chin.
The first step is to ensure your diet is high in fibre and low in fat and calories, containing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. This will help prevent you laying down vast amounts of fat.
Using a skin toner everyday helps the skin remain firm, as does slapping under the chin with the back of your hand. When slapping, start gently and build up speed gradually. Do this for a couple of minutes each time, two or three times a day.
Stand up straight, don't slouch in chairs, jut your jaw slightly both when speaking and at rest, and (if you have flat feet) make a conscious effort to walk on the outside edges of your soles. At the same time, exercise the neck and jaw muscles by standing up straight, pointing your chin at the ceiling, and stretching, rotating your head slowly as you do.
Eliminate Double chin and make up
Here is how to hide your double chin with the help of makeup.
After doing your complete makeup, use a darker tone like a brown blusher and apply it under the chin area. This will give the depth effect to your double chin, thus giving it a more regular effect.
Don't use a darker foundation as this is too heavy. Powder is best. Foundation can also look dirty and the last thing you want people to see or think they see, is a dirty neck.
You don't want your hair to stop exactly where the double chins begin. Choose a shorter style that brings the eye to the center of the face. This will also emphasize those cheekbones.
Exercises for double chin
Apart from massage following exercises are found to be quite effective in removing this double-chin problem.
Exercise No.1: First of all, be seated on a chair with a table in front. Put your right elbow on the table with your folded hand pressing your chin side-ways from below. Now try to open your mouth while, at the same time, put pressure from your hand to prevent the mouth from opening. This two-pronged pressure 'attack'- launched at least 4 to 5 times in a day-goes a long way to remove the double chin problem.
Exercise No.2: Bring your two feet together and stand erect as a ramrod. Now gradually tilt your head backwards. When having reached the point, you can tilt your neck back as for away as possible, then freeze your movement. This way, by putting pressure on the chin with reverse movement, you can make your chin free from the folds of flesh.
