Double 'chin' Trouble

'Chubby cheeks, Double chin' is that you? If the answer is yes, you're looking at the right page. Well, I've assumed that you do want to get rid of it. Who wouldn't?

Like any other body part, reducing the double chin requires a combination of good diet and a proper exercise regimen. Of course we also have the option of surgery. Let me walk you through each method.


Diet:


It is important to steer clear of fatty food and drinks. Eating healthy and eating right are very important. Include foods high in fibre in your diet. Fruits like apples or grapes or cereal or even salads would help. The more calories you eat, the more your body has to burn. The process of burning calories ages ur body faster and one of the first signs of aging is sagging skin which can lead to a double chin.





Massages and lotions:


Slapping under the chin with the back of your palm works very well. Start with a minimum speed and gradually build up speed to massage your chin. Try applying toner to the skin under your chin to tighten it. Applying egg white to your skin will also tighten the skin. (Do remember to wash off after ten minutes)



Exercise:

Regular aerobic exercise is required to reduce the flab on your body. Once the flab is reduced, the double chin will reduce automatically.



Here are a few facial exercises which will help to spot reduce.



Place the palm of your hand on your forehead, while pressing with your palm resist with your head. you can feel the tightening of the neck, repeat the same with your hand at the back of your head.

Point ur chin upwards and open and close your mouth in a motion similar to chewing.


Lie on your back and lift your head slightly slowly move ur head from side to side, again move it from top to bottom in a nodding movement.

Illusions:

Ensure your hair ends right above or at your jawline. Short hair makes your neck look longer.
Wear low, wide necklines and avoid turtlenecks.
Wear long necklaces with drops, avoid chokers.
Apply a foundation one shade darker.
Walk with your back straight :)
