One-liner: how to get rid of a second chin?

You can do it at home without injections and surgeries.

The second chin is a visual flaw that prevents the face from looking taut and makes the contour indistinct. To get rid of the accumulation of fatty tissue can be different ways: from injections of special substances (lipolytics) to skin tightening. However, the second chin can also be removed with the help of facebuilding. Together with Mari Fadeeva, a face fitness trainer and co-founder of Face Fit lifting studios, we have prepared a set of exercises that will help to model the facial oval.

Why does the second chin appear?

The second chin is an accumulation of fatty tissue in the corner between the lower jaw and neck. The cause of the deposits is weakness of the triangular, jawline and quadriceps muscles, which belong to the lower lip. Some people have a genetic predisposition to a second chin, which can only be removed with external intervention.

Also, fatty tissue can accumulate due to weight changes. Most often this area sags closer to 45-60 years old, when the skin begins to lose elasticity and age-related changes become visible.

Exercises for the second chin

This set of exercises is aimed at combating muscle weakness. If performed regularly and correctly, you can return a clear facial oval on your own.

Warming-up. Any workout begins with a warm-up. We put two fingers in the form of “hooks” on the middle of the chin and lead along the bone towards the ears. Do 10 repetitions.

Put a finger hook in parallel with the lip, and with the thumb clamp the skin and at maximum pressure make a “pass” from the lip towards the ear. The second hand is placed the same way on the other side and work simultaneously, repeating 10 times.

Let’s move on to the active struggle with the second chin. It is important to take into account that the zone we are interested in is the section from the base of the chin to the beginning of the neck. The part below we do not touch, as there is a thyroid gland – massage in this place may be unsafe.

Modeling. We put the palms of our hands with edges under the chin and crosswise make quick movements to the left and right, as if “leveling” this part of the face. On a strong pressure make 10 repetitions.

Sculpturing. We continue working out the zone. We put thumbs in the zone of the second chin, hands at an angle of 90 degrees, index fingers in the form of “hooks” opposite each other, and put the head on the fingers. Rest your head as if your head is trying to go down, but your thumbs are holding it up. Spread the arms apart from the middle of the chin to the ears. Ten repetitions will be enough.

In addition to exercises visually reduce the second chin will help to correct posture.
