Double chin

-

Weak neck muscles and a depletion of the elastin that once held skin taut create a sagging effect below the chin. The result? A turkey wattle that adds optical years and pounds to the face, says dermatolog­ist Margarita Lolis, M.D. To firm the area, reach for peptides. Applied topically, these amino acids help increase elastin production for a firmer neck and slimmer-looking chin.

TO DO: Massage a peptide cream (like Mario Badescu Peptide Renewal Cream, Amazon.com) to the neck and chin using upward strokes (downward enhances the effects of gravity). Repeat twice a day for results in 30 days.
