How to Get Rid of a Double Chin?

Double chin, “turkey neck”- those loose folds of skin under the chin (lovingly known as waddles) - are what we all fear as the year’s march on, and those tell-tale signs of getting older start to sneak up on us!

We have all had the experience of being tagged in that ‘bad’ photo on social media, displaying to the world that one part of our body we feel so insecure about - our double chin glaring back at us on the screen for friends and family to see. Looking at yourself and not liking what you see - is the worst feeling, and can have a massively negative impact on our self-esteem.

Firstly, we realise that something, other than wearing turtle necks and scarves, needs to be done, so we can stop avoiding the camera lenses!

The BIG question is, how do you get rid of a double chin fast?

There are some effective and easy ways on “How to get rid of a double chin?” without having to resort to plastic surgery!

What causes double chins?

Double chins can be an issue for many people for various reasons:

AGEING - The Reduction of muscle tone and thinning skin contribute to sagging, especially beneath the chin.         

GENETICS - Some people inherit a predisposition to fullness underneath the chin, and this can begin to show at a fairly young age, getting more noticeable as we age.

WEIGHT - Weight gain can also be a common factor for people with a double chin. Even a moderate weight gain may result in more noticeable fullness under the chin and some rolls appearing.

What can you do to get rid of your double chin?

Just as there are simple exercises you can do to relieve body aches and pains, there are also easy exercises you can do to combat or prevent the double chin! Here’s a few to try:

Pucker Up

1. While standing, tilt your head back and look toward the ceiling.
2. Get your best selfie “Duck Face” pose on - pucker your lips and “kiss the ceiling.”
3. Hold the kiss face for five seconds.
4. Relax your lips and return your head to a neutral position.
5. Repeat this 15 times.

Stick it Out

1. While facing forward, open your mouth wide.
2. Stick your tongue out slowly, counting to five until it is as far out as possible,
3. Return the tongue inside your mouth over another five count.
4. Repeat this 10 times.

Tilt it Back

1. Tilt your head back and look toward the ceiling.
2. Push your lower jaw forward to feel a stretch under the chin.
3. Hold the jaw jut for a count of 10.
