BLOG 294: GOODBYE DOUBLE CHIN! 5 FACE YOGA MOVES THAT REALLY WORK
Nov 19, 2024Reducing a double chin is possible with simple, natural techniques. Whether you’re looking to tone your jawline or improve your overall appearance, Face Yoga can be an effective tool to do this.
One note though, you can't 'spot reduce' fat though. If your double chin is only caused by fat in the lower face area, the solution may be a healthy overall weight loss plan. However, Face Yoga can help to tone the muscles in your lower face which helps the face to look more sculpted. The facial massage aspects of Face Yoga can help to reduce fluid accumulation which can also help your skin to look more toned and taut. Improving posture is also a great way to help lift the lower face area.
Here are five easy moves to help you on your journey.
Technique 1: Head Tilt and Tongue Position
Start by gently tilting your head back. Bring your lips together, and move the tip of your tongue up and down towards the roof of your mouth at a rate of 1 per minute. This movement not only engages the muscles under your chin but helps in toning the area as well. Aim for about 60 repetitions for the best results.
Technique 2: Side Stretch with Tongue
For the second technique, turn your head to one side. While in this position, reach your tongue towards your nose. Hold this position for around 30 seconds before switching to the other side. This exercise tones the muscles around your chin and neck. Make sure to listen to your body and adjust to your comfort level.
Technique 3: Chest Opener
Link your hands together behind your back and open your chest. While standing, push your chest forward and tilt your head back. Move your head side to side while breathing deeply. This technique helps correct forward posture, which can contribute to fluid build up and the appearance of a double chin. Stretching the arms and neck releases tension and promotes a healthier posture.
Technique 4: Under-Chin Glide
For this move, place your thumbs just beneath your chin. Glide your thumbs upwards, lifting the skin slightly as you do so. This exercise helps to reduce fluid accumulation while promoting better skin health. Be mindful of your posture; stand tall and imagine a string pulling from the top of your head to the ceiling. You can enhance this technique by using a serum to create a smooth glide.
Technique 5: Gentle Tapping
The final technique involves gently tapping around the chin area. This movement boosts circulation and reduces fluid buildup. As with all the techniques, consistency is key. Aim to do each exercise for about one minute daily to see the best results. Remember to maintain good posture throughout your day and stay hydrated to keep your skin looking its best.
