facial fat and double chin are quite annoying and tedious to get rid of. Making certain lifestyle
changes can help you lose weight and achieve a slimmer looking face. It’s time to bid farewell
to your double chin and say hello to those beautiful cheekbones and that stellar jaw line.

is an incredible way of slimming down which will result in a loss of your face fat. Doing aerobics,
jogging or simply engaging in some sort of physical activity will trigger your sweat.

loss. Everyone should squeeze in at least 20 to 40 minutes of cardio on a daily basis.

Hydration is Key All your effort will go to
waste if you don’t follow a balanced diet and stay fully hydrated throughout the day. Not only is
drinking lots of water a healthy lifestyle choice for you but it also aids in losing facial fat.
But how are fat cheeks and water related? Chubby cheeks are a result of your body retaining fluid.
Dehydration is one of the biggest reasons for fluid retention resulting in face fat.
Your body stores excess water when it feels that you are not drinking enough. The extra fluid will
make its way to several different body parts, including your face. You should aim to drink at
least two liters of water a day to keep yourself well-hydrated. What’s more, staying hydrated will
effectively reduce fluid retention, which helps in preventing bloating and puffiness in your face.
Get your tumblers ready and keep track of your fluid intake throughout the day!
Limit Your Alcohol Intake
While going for a glass of wine or two during dinner or some special occasion is okay,
going overboard with drinking is never a good idea. It will result in your face looking puffy
and bloated. You should start off by understanding how alcoholic drinks affect your face.
When alcohol is mixed with sugar and fizzy substances, it can lead to bloating,
gas problems and fluid retention. All this put together can lead to a swollen face.
That is why after a long night of drinking, your eyes and face appear puffy. Plus,
the calories from alcohol can add up quickly. Reducing its consumption can greatly help your
quest for a chiseled face and other weight loss goals. It’s also an easy way to save a few bucks!
Sleep Soundly
Doesn’t sound like a bad idea does it? Who doesn’t want to just sleep their fat away?
Getting slim is all a part of the balanced regimen you decide to follow.
This starts with getting rid of all the junk food followed by some exercise and ending your day with
a sound 8 hours of sleep. Did you know that not getting enough sleep contributes to weight gain?
So, does it burn fat? Well, not getting enough shut eye affects the levels of certain hormones
that promote feelings of hunger and fullness. It can also increase levels of the hormone ghrelin,
which stimulates appetite, and lower levels of the hormone leptin,
which tells the body that it is full. So sleep may not burn fat on it’s own, but a person who
has lost out on some important sleep may eat more, and may turn to foods higher in calories.
The Smiling Fish Face Exercise
A fish face is more than just a cute expression. It is one of the most popular facial exercises for
toning and getting rid of those stubborn face fat. All you have to do is suck in your cheeks
and try to smile while holding this position for 5 seconds. Do this regularly everyday 10 times
for quick results. This is also an effective way of reducing your double chin situation.
While making the fish face tilt your head back and imagine reaching
to the ceiling with your chin for an extra stretch in your neck and chin.
This will have an overall effect on your face and will help in accentuating your facial features.
Always remember to pair up your facial exercises with a healthy diet and full body exercises!
Cut Down On Carbs
Cutting down carbohydrates from your diet is a great way of losing weight. Swapping
them out for whole grains can help increase overall weight loss and may also aid facial
fat loss. Refined carbs can increase blood sugar levels and lead to overeating and increased fat.
What are refined carbs you ask? Stuff like cookies, crackers and pasta.
These are the delicious culprits that increase fat storage and promote weight gain.
Reason being, they are processed heavily throughout the production process which strips
them of their beneficial nutrients and fiber, leaving little behind besides sugar and calorie.
A high intake of carbs is directly linked to belly fat.
Keeping a check on it will be a great way to keep your mind, body and soul happy.

Now back to ways to achieve your dream chiseled face.
Mouthwash Exercise The main aim of any facial
exercise is to get those face muscles going! Just like any workout, if the muscles aren’t
working there won’t be any slimming. That is exactly what the mouthwash exercise accomplishes.
No, this exercise does not require you to fill your mouth with mouthwash. You will have to puff
out your cheeks and pretend that you are holding a mouthful of water or mouthwash.
Repeating this process 10 times a day and holding the position for 15 seconds while
swishing around the air in your mouth will do the trick. This will bring shape to your jaws
and cheekbones and help you achieve that chiseled face look.
If you are willing to try new methods to get rid of those chubby cheeks
then here are some easy breezy facial yoga poses you can try anywhere and anytime!
Chin Lock This pose is one of the easiest ways to
get rid of that extra chin that just won’t go! It will also help in your facial muscle toning. For
this you will only have to sit down, place your hands on your knees and take a deep breath in.
Stick your chin firmly against your chest in between your collar bones.
Hold on your breath as long as possible. Relax and then repeat the same.
Repeating this everyday for a couple of minutes will yield long term results.
The Tongue Lock Looking to chisel your face,
chin and jaws? Then your search ends here. This pose works from within and helps in loosening
up those muscles and burning the fat present in the face. For this you will have to Sit down
comfortably on the ground and place the tip of your tongue against the upper wall of your mouth.
Force your tongue against the wall till you feel the stretch in your neck. Repeat this exercise
for four to five times. Since this muscle requires your tongue to twist and fold, rest assured your
double chin will disappear. Jaw Release
As the name suggests you already know that this yoga exercise focuses on your jawline.
Sit comfortably and tighten your chin as if pulling it upwards against gravity.
Do it in a way that accentuates the nerves in your neck. Hold the position till you
feel the stretch in your neck. Release it gradually while breathing from your nose. j
Face Massage
If you have been following all the weight loss programs but don’t seem to lose facial fat? This
happens because water retention is most obviously shown on your face. In order to achieve a smaller
looking face, you need to massage the lymph nodes around your face to reduce any swelling and
promote toning. All you have to do is apply face oil and massage thoroughly for 5 minutes everyday.
The Lion Pose
Another one of the most effective yoga poses to get rid of face fat is the lion pose.
This doesn’t mean you have to roar like a lion on regular intervals.
This pose releases the built up pressure in your jaw, neck and face. (yoga teket) For this one,
you need to kneel down comfortably with your palms placed on your thighs.
You will then have to stick your tongue outwards and stretch it downwards forcefully,
extending it as much as you can. While doing so, exhale out your stress.
