Facial exercise can make your face look young and eliminate a double chin, define your jawline and neck, without any chemical-based creams, injections or surgery.
The chin is surrounded by muscles just like the rest of your body. So it’s possible to exercise these muscles in the chin and neck to achieve a slimmer, more toned jawline, free from double chin. You should exercise your chin the same as any part of your body in the gym.

00:00Many of us will experience this double
00:04chin. Part of gravity, part of aging, there's one main muscle that we're
00:08going to strengthen. It's called the platysma.
00:11It's the long sheath of muscle that goes down the neck.
00:14When you strengthen this muscle, this will really help the development of the
00:18muscles to keep it nice and toned. Helping that double chin. These
00:22exercises are really going to do a lot of good for
00:25you. I'm going to show you a multitude of different exercises.
00:28You can pick the ones that you think are best for you. You're going to do about
00:3212 repetitions, two sets of each of these
00:36exercises. That's your homework. I will show you a couple repetitions of
00:40each exercise so you can understand the basis of what
00:44you need to do on your own time. First, I'd like you to take one hand put
00:48it underneath the neck area on that platysma muscle.
00:50Where that double chin is, first thing I'd like you to do is take your tongue and
00:54push it up against your heart palette. Hold it for three seconds
00:56and feel these muscles contract. Push it up. These muscles should get nice and
01:01tight under here. Relax it. Push it up again. You'll feel these
01:04muscles get nice and contracted and tight.
01:07Push it up again. After you relax it, three seconds.
01:11Awesome. Keep your hand right here. What I'd like you to do now is take your jaw
01:15and jut it forward. As you jut forward, you'll feel these muscles contract. Hold
01:20it three seconds. Relax. Jut it forward. All the way forward.
01:26Three seconds. Relax. One more time. Three seconds. Jut it forward.
01:32All right. Feel those muscles contract. That's a great exercise. Another
01:38very powerful exercise is kissing the ceiling or kissing the sky.
01:43Keep that hand or finger on one of your hands underneath the neck as you can
01:47feel these muscles contract. But in order to kiss the sky or the
01:51ceiling, first we need to look up. As we look up,
01:56you're going to pucker your lips as if you're kissing that sky or ceiling.
02:01Really pucker your lips. Let's do it. Three seconds.
02:04Good. Relax the lips. Three seconds again. Kiss the sky. Come on.
02:11Keep kissing the sky. Feel those muscles contract. Relax.
02:15And again, kiss the sky again. As you look up,
02:18those muscles should really contract and tighten.
02:21Awesome. And for the purpose of this video, I really want you to
02:24hold on to that neck area while you're doing all the exercises so you can
02:27understand the direct correlation of these muscles
02:31that you're working and how you're doing it
02:33with what's going on in the neck, making sure it's contracting every single time.
02:37But when you do them at home, you don't have to hold your neck.
02:41Now remember when you're a young child, you would ask
02:44people to say to you or you would say to them, you do the fish look like this. You
02:48suck your cheeks in like this and bring your lips out like this.
02:53And as you suck your cheeks in and as you make that fish,
02:57that little fish thing with your lips, that's really working that platysma
03:01muscle. Let's go ahead and do it. Suck your cheeks in as you
03:06kiss forward.
03:10You're going to hold that three seconds. You're relaxed. Try it one more time.
03:14You should really feel that muscle contract. Beautiful.
03:17And in this exercise, I want you to do some cheek resistance.
03:21This is very powerful because we're not only working these muscles, but other
03:24muscles around as we are in the other exercises as well.
03:28It may be harder for you to feel your neck while you're doing it, but I think
03:31you can if you take these fingers of both hands,
03:33put it on your cheek. Okay, so what you're going to do is
03:36you're going to push up on your cheek like this.
03:39Take your thumbs, put it on your neck area so you can feel the muscle.
03:42But as you push up on your cheek, as you're pushing in, but you're pushing up,
03:46I want you to voluntarily contract your cheek muscles
03:49and bring your cheek down. And while doing so, you'll probably notice your
03:54lips may come down as well. Watch what I do.
03:59And while you're pushing down, we're really isolating all these muscles under
04:03the jaw area. Let's do it again. Put your fingers on
04:06your cheeks. Okay, take the thumbs underneath the
04:10neck so you can feel the muscles contract. Push up, and now I want you to bring it
04:15down just using your facial muscles as you pull it down with resistance of
04:19your fingers. Let's go three seconds. Good. You should really feel those muscles
04:24contract. Relax. One more time. Push up and bring it
04:28down with your contraction of the muscles, pulling it down,
04:33and feel those muscles really, really contract. And a little quick thing you
04:37can do to end up these exercises is stimulate these muscles
04:42under the jaw. Just taking your fingers and just
04:46tapping it gentle and doing that for about 20 seconds. That will bring
04:50hyperemia, more blood supply, more circulation, more nutrition
04:54that will help stimulate the area even more. But there's two things
04:58you must do to help that double chin. One is to hydrate. Drink your water
05:05because you're getting stagnated lymph toxins. You need to flush it
05:10out because when you flush these toxins out, things are going to heal. Things are
05:14going to look better. You're going to feel better.
05:16And two, you need to cut down those inflammatory
05:21sugars, refined and processed sugars. As you cut it down, you're going to start
05:25losing weight. You need to eat healthy. And as you lose
05:29this weight, you'll see a lot of this extra fat
05:32will go away as well. So here you are. You have in your toolbox
05:39some great exercises. You're only going to do about 12 to 15
05:43repetitions of these exercises of each one. Do them all if you can. You
05:49can get them all done real quick and you will see within a short period
05:54of time, within a few weeks, some great progress. These exercises are
05:59awesome. They're one of my favorites. I wish you well. I wish you good health.
