SMILE OFTEN, AS WHEN YOU SMILE, ALL YOUR FACIAL MUSCLES GET STRETCHED, WHICH IN TURN HELPS TO LOSE FAT FROM YOUR CHEEKS

Are you in shape otherwise but still have a lump of fat jutting out from under your chin? Due to which, all your selfies get spoilt? Well, even when you are not taking a selfie when you are meeting someone for the first time or having a conversati­on, the face is where all your attention goes. And that is exactly the reason why you ought to take care of your face.

Here are a few facial exercises that will help you achieve your goal faster and effectivel­y:

The chin lifts: The chin lift exercise is an efficient way to lose double chin fat and overall toning of your face. It stretches your jaw, throat, s well as neck. You can do this either sitting or while standing. Start by tilting your head upwards towards the roof; make sure your eyes are fixed upwards. Now tighten your lips and hold for 10 seconds.

The lip pull: This one is for your cheekbones. Either sit or stand and try to lift your lip up, and simultaneo­usly push the lower jaw out. Do it for 15-20 seconds to properly feel the stretch.

The fish face: It’s similar to pouting for a selfie, but the difference is that this exercise helps in toning your face whereas pouting doesn’t do much in comparison. Sit on a chair with your back straight, try to suck in your cheeks and lips, hold for five seconds and then try to smile.

The blowing air exercise: This exercise will give your face a leaner look. Stand straight with your spine erect and then tilt your head backwards. Then pull your lips and try to blow air out from your mouth.

Smile: The best exercise for a sleek face is to smile as much as you can. When you smile, all your facial muscles get stretched, which in turn helps to lose fat from your cheeks.
