Do you have a double chin? Expert recommends these exercises to reduce it.

People generally associate the appearance of a double chin with weight gain, however, this unpleasant appearance is a result of aging .

A double chin is formed by a weakening of the facial muscles, which support the thick layer of fat we have on the face from the cheeks to the chin. However, a double chin also appears in people, whether men or women, due to factors such as poor posture of the shoulders and back in relation to the head and also due to poor positioning of the tongue .

Another recently detected factor is tech neck, the poor posture people have adopted when staring at their cell phone screens excessively. This reduces blood flow to the neck and causes stiffness in the shoulders.

Facial yoga expert Maiko Tahara recommends that, " To avoid having a double chin, the most important thing is to maintain good head posture, aligned with the spine, neck, shoulders and abdominal area. ".

The expert warns that with facial yoga, as with body yoga, the muscles are worked, not the skin, although it does cause the skin to become a little tighter.

Exercise 1

When a double chin is due to poor tongue position, the expert recommends repeating the following exercise three times a day:

• Tilt your head back
• Press your tongue firmly against the palate for five seconds.
• Relax your tongue
• Repeat 10 times

This way, you will get used to placing your tongue in the correct place not only for the double chin, but also for proper alignment of your teeth .

Exercise 3

• Stick out your tongue as if you were going to touch your nose
• Raise your arms while keeping your tongue out
• We lower our elbows in a W shape to bring our shoulder blades together (until our elbows and forearms are glued to our body)
• Then, we glue the hands by the backs and forearms, with the shoulder blades curved
• We change the position of the tongue downwards, that is, resting on the chin
• We undo the posture by raising our arms again to repeat the exercise.

Maiko Tahara recommends repeating this movement 10 times, once a day.
