First, what is a double chin?
A double chin is also known as submental fat. The main reason for forming a double chin is that a layer of fat forms below the chin. Now, this becomes so evident that it appears like a second chin. Normally, when people have a double chin, their faces appear fatter and swollen. Now even if your body is fit, you may have a double chin. While a lot of people try to get rid of that stubborn double chin surgically, just like actresses, we will discuss the exercises that will do the same job more naturally.
The Importance of Facial Exercises
When we talk about exercises, we often just focus on our body and the main areas like thighs, belly, or arms. No one pays a lot of attention to the visceral fat on the face. But just like the rest of your body, the muscles in your face and neck are also quite important, hence require exercises to keep them looking good. Strengthening these muscles can help lift and firm your jawline. And who doesn’t like a sharp jawline?
Here are some effective facial exercises to get you started.
Neck Curl-Ups
Neck curl-ups are almost similar to belly crunches, but they target the neck and jaw muscles.
How to Do it:
Lie down on your back with your tongue pressed to the roof of your mouth.
Gently lift your head towards your chest without lifting your shoulders.
Hold for a few seconds and then slowly lower your head back down.
Repeat this exercise for 10-15 repetitions.
Collar Bone Backups
Collar bone backups target the platysma muscle, which runs from your jaw down to your collarbone.
How to Do it:
Sit or stand with a straight back and shoulders relaxed.
Tilt your head back slightly and move your head back.
Return to the starting position and repeat for 10-12 reps.
Tongue Twisters
Tongue twisters are quite simple. But this exercise is very effective, especially in toning the muscles around your jaw.
How to do it:
Place your tongue against the roof of your mouth, just behind your teeth.
Press your tongue firmly and hold for 5 seconds.
Release and repeat for 10-15 reps.
Now, apart from these exercises, there should be a proper diet as well.

Having a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help you maintain a healthy weight. Always remember that a good fiber-rich diet will help with your body weight.

Are you the type of person who slouches over their desktop? Or are you constantly scrolling through your phone with your neck down? You may not find it problematic now, but posture is a key factor in facial muscles. If you sit straight with your neck straight, it helps you strengthen your neck muscles as well.
