A double chin is not something that we like and want to do something about it. Many people even associate double chin with middle age and jokes about mid life crisis multiply. So what causes a double chin? Four of the most common reasons double chins can develop and how to keep them from sneaking up on you are: - Excess body weight. Do you tend to store fat under the chin area?
- Water retention. Are you a water retainer?
- Hereditary disposition. Do your parents have double chins? Is this a family trait?
- Normal aging and maturity process. Are you beginning to show signs of aging?

| Lose weight. A good way to reduce a double chin is to lose weight.
Eat healthy fresh foods and drink at least 8 cups of water per day.
Use a pure, well balanced Omega 3 or Omega 6 oil. This will soften and moisten the skin from the inside out. Use makeup to accent your eyes and cheekbones and draw attention from the neck and chin area (men can skip this if they wish).
Avoid wearing anything that will draw attention to your neck. Add a loose scarf. Broad necklines are usually more flattering for double chins. Stay away from turtlenecks, chokers and long earrings that dangle below the jaw. | |
| Use “The Face Bra” (a system that lifts and tightens the skin by reducing water retention and inflammation beneath the surface) with minerals for 45 minutes, 2-3 times per week to reduce puffiness and tighten the skin. |
