Double chins are a natural result of aging or slight weight gain. If you are looking to reduce your chin area, there are several ways you can take advantage of it. Getting the right haircut, doing specific exercises for that area, and getting the right posture are the simplest changes that you can take advantage of right away.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: How to visually shrink your chin

1. 1 Use makeup to hide it on purpose. Try to make the jawline more visible than the neckline by using a powder shade darker than your natural skin tone. The powder should be applied from ear to ear and to the neck area. Draw attention away from the neckline with colored blush and interesting eye makeup. If you can't do it right on your own, then visit a makeup artist who will show you how to do it.
   • By using eyeliner and mascara, you can visually enlarge your eyes and divert attention away from the chin area.
   • Minimize the focus on your lower face with neutral lipstick shades.
2. 2 Change your hairstyle. Avoid hairstyles that end at the level of the chin, as well as very long hair, as in both cases, you will draw more attention to your chin. A medium length hairstyle that ends just below the chin is the best choice for you. ... Here are a few more options:
   • Give preference to a long bob haircut. This classic haircut looks great on those with a large chin.
   • Get a charcoal haircut. Leave longer hair in the front and shorter hair in the back. Long hair in front will visually reduce the chin and distract attention from it.
   • Try longline waves. A fluffy hairstyle will balance the face and draw attention away from the chin.
3. 3 Grow a beard. If you're a guy, having the right facial hair can visually shrink your chin significantly. Grow a beard all the way down to your neck. Keep it carefully groomed, but keep it thick. This will help align everything in the neck and chin area.
4. 4 Do not wear collar jewelry. The high collars are close to the neck, emphasizing the double chin, and possibly leave red marks. If you prefer this style, there are necklaces that are similar in design to collars, but hang like regular necklaces.
5. 5 Watch your clothes. Does the clothes you wear visually reduce your chin? Wear wide, open necklines to draw attention away from your chin. Avoid closed-toe tees and blouses, including turtlenecks and embroidered tops.
6. 6 Check your posture. How do you stand? Slouching can create bumps and bumps on your body, including the chin area, as fat builds up in decrepit areas. Stand up, lift your head, pull your shoulders back and straighten your spine. See a professional physical therapist for simple yet effective exercises to improve your posture. Be proactive.

Part 2 of 4: Exercises for the chin area

1. 1 Perform chin lifts. This exercise helps to straighten and strengthen the muscles in the face and neck. To do this, stand with your back and neck straight. Raise your chin to the ceiling and look at the ceiling.Press your lips towards the ceiling and stay in this position for ten seconds. Repeat the exercise ten times. Do the exercise every day for the best effect.
2. 2 Twist your neck. Stand with your spine straight. Twist your neck to one side so that your chin is parallel to your shoulder. Your eyes should also look to the side. Slowly turn your neck back and twist it to the other side. Repeat 10 times.
3. 3 Train the subcutaneous muscles of the neck. These are the muscles that will separate your neck from your chin. Stand with your neck raised. Tighten the tendons of your chin by pulling your lips up over your teeth and pulling the corners of your lips downward, almost as if frowning. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then relax. Repeat the exercise 10 times.
4. 4 Use a tennis ball. Place it on your neck and hold it with your chin. Press firmly on the ball with your chin, then relax a little. Repeat 10 times.
5. 5 Chew gum. This is a very easy exercise as it does not involve any effort or thought. Chewing gum keeps the chin muscles strong and also helps to reduce the double chin.

Part 3 of 4: Losing Weight

1. 1 Give general physical activity. Full weight training for weight loss will significantly reduce facial fat as well. In fact, losing weight in the face alone is difficult, and often the face is one of the very last parts of the body to shrink with weight loss. Beginning with a consistent routine of cardio and strength training can promote weight loss in the facial area.
   • Running, swimming, and cycling are excellent cardio exercises. Plan to do at least one of these exercises for at least half an hour, four times a week.
   • Go to the gym and meet with a personal trainer for typical strength training. Learn to lift weights and work your muscles.
2. 2 Reduce your calorie intake. This will reduce the amount of fat that builds up in your body and face. Satisfy your appetite with fruits, salads and low-calorie foods. If you're serious about getting rid of a double chin, weight loss can help a lot.
   • Don't use anything too restrictive or special. Lifestyle changes should be such that you can sustain them for life. Small but sustained weight loss is something you should aim for and maintain.
   • Your diet should include plenty of fiber, fruits, vegetables, and water. Visit your dietitian or doctor for advice and dietary approval.

Part 4 of 4: Taking it a step further

1. 1 See your doctor. If there is a problem of fluid accumulation in the chin area, then this problem requires further consideration. If it's just a buildup of fluid, ask your doctor to refer you to a massage therapist who will massage the fluid out and help you correct your posture and relax.
2. 2 Appreciate yourself for who you are. Your species is more than just genes. How you dress, how you present yourself, how you communicate with others, how you share your feelings and thoughts, and how confident you are as a worthy person is a thousand times more valuable than having a double chin.

Tips

• Don't waste too much time hunched over your computer. If you have to spend all day at the computer at work, then do small stretches every half hour.
• If a double chin is hereditary (look at your parents or other family members), then you have even more reasons to stay in shape, eat healthy, to avoid the appearance of a double chin or reduce the existing one.
• Thick scarves can hide a double chin. However, avoid turtlenecks and turtlenecks, as they focus on the chin area.
• We live in an era of “youth culture” and, unfortunately, we have forgotten what it means to grow old gracefully, accepting human anatomy as reality. Growing up has its own freedom and wisdom; benefits that youth cannot be surpassed.
• If you have a wide chin, then wear bright hats, colored T-shirts with a pattern. This will distract attention from your face.
• Moisten the neck and chin area before doing neck exercises to avoid wrinkles.

Warnings

• Don't sunbathe too much, or at least cover your neck and chin from the sun; the sun destroys skin elasticity faster than natural aging.
