The fact of being born with a pronounced jaw depends on several genetic factors. However, there are various solutions that allow it to be defined. For some this may mean shedding a few pounds in order to make the chin more noticeable; for others it means doing a bit of a diet and maybe changing the wardrobe. Whether your chin profile is prominent or not by nature, nothing excludes the possibility of looking as proud as possible.
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Performing Jaw Exercises
Step 1. Consider purchasing a facial exercise program
If you really want to make the chin profile more pronounced, you can find videos on the market that teach a series of exercises and movements to improve the appearance of the face. Compared to most other physical training programs, they don't cost much and are fairly easy to follow.
Step 2. Smile
Some people can smile more easily than others, but the fact remains that the movements used to achieve this facial expression have many benefits for the facial muscles. As with the rest of your body, your face will also be more beautiful and toned if you train it regularly. Moreover, smiling brings enormous benefits from a psychological point of view because it is linked to the idea of pleasure and happiness, so it is not uncommon to notice an improvement in mood in subjects who have the habit of smiling as soon as they feel the need.
Step 3. Contract and relax your jaw
In order for the jaw to be more prominent, you need to make it work. Therefore, try to squeeze it for 10 seconds and then relax it. You should feel mild discomfort and a small burning sensation. Do this exercise as many times as you want. In the beginning, it will be best to do 10-15 repetitions.
- As time goes by, you should increase the number of contractions to continue strengthening the chin profile.
- It is an exercise that you can easily integrate into your daily routine. Since it's discreet and doesn't look ridiculous like many other facial exercises, you might want to do it when you're at work or on the train.
Step 4. Practice lifting the chin
Tilt your head up and keep your gaze fixed on the ceiling. Then tighten your lips, as if you want to kiss something that is an inch above your head. Stay in this position for 5 seconds, then relax and give your lips a few seconds of recovery. You can repeat this exercise as many times as you like, although 10 reps will be fine. In this way you can improve the tone of the face, as the traction and direction allow you to activate different facial muscles.
Step 5. Massage your temples
By massaging your temples and rubbing your forehead, you will promote blood circulation all over the face. With two fingers on each hand, massage your temples making small circular movements. Continue for 30 seconds.
The temple massage is a method that allows you to fight migraines
Step 6. Make a fish face
This is a great exercise for toning the cheeks and jaw. Suck in the air so that your cheeks are sucked into your mouth and try to smile. Keep this expression for at least 5 seconds. You should feel a little discomfort, and at the end of each repetition, you should also feel a little burning sensation. The effect is the right one, as it proves that the muscles have undergone some tension during the exercise. In the beginning, repeat it 10 times and feel free to increase the reps according to your needs.
The fish face and other similar exercises can easily fit into the daily routine. However, don't forget them. You can do them in the shower or before going to sleep
Part 2 of 4: Staying healthy
Step 1. Drink water
It is not possible to list all the benefits of a correct water intake. It must be said that water intake is essential (although often underestimated) to improve general health conditions. In fact, it helps you lose weight and boost your energy throughout the day. In addition, hydration promotes blood circulation to the face. Although these benefits indirectly affect the mandibular arch, they allow for physical changes.
- If you need to lose weight, water allows you to lose several kilos, as it promotes a sense of satiety without the caloric intake of carbonated drinks and junk foods.
- In addition, it has been shown to speed up the body's metabolism.
Step 2. Consume less salt
Salt is one of the most used ingredients in modern nutrition that has devastating effects on the skin. By limiting your consumption (for example by choosing whole foods and eliminating junk foods), you will notice many benefits. The water retention will lessen, reducing the skin swelling that prevented the chin profile from appearing more defined.
Many alternative diets are based on the idea of strictly limiting salt intake. Find out and find a diet that suits your needs and lifestyle
Step 3. Get enough sleep
Surely you have heard that you need to sleep at least 8 hours. People usually rest for 5-6 hours a night. However, if you are looking for a more defined jaw, you will need to stick to the recommended 8 hours of sleep for the body to stay healthy.
Step 4. Stop smoking
Like salt and lack of sleep, smoking can also have disastrous consequences for the skin. If you are a smoker and want to improve the appearance of the mandibular arch, taking away the habit of smoking will do nothing but good. Although it will be difficult at first, after a month you will notice progress in the skin texture that will allow you to stay motivated and feel enthusiastic about your choice.
Step 5. Chew gum
It is one of the simplest and most used ways to improve jaw definition. Chewing gum has amazing benefits, not least toning the face muscles. You should see results over the course of a few weeks. Plus, it's a fun exercise, so it won't take you long to get used to it.
Part 3 of 4: Healing the Outer Aspect to Emphasize the Mandible
Step 1. Consider growing a beard if you have a shallow chin profile
Not all of us are born with a defined jaw. In this case, letting your beard grow is probably the best way to give your face fullness.
Also take into account the general size of the face. The beard tends to make the face smaller. If you have a big face, a long beard could help you and balance both. Conversely, if it is small, it is preferable that the beard is short and trimmed frequently
Step 2. Grow the beard beyond the jaw
A beard can significantly affect the appearance of the chin. A mistake that men make very often is to cut it too high at the neck, not exceeding the chin. In this way, the lower jaw seems less defined and pronounced. If you tend to shave to the line where your chin meets your neck, try growing it lower than you normally do, making sure the deadlift is neat and neat.
If you don't know how far to grow it, try imagining a curved line running from ear to ear. It should extend well below the jaw and give the face greater fullness
Step 3. Choose the shirt collar according to your face shape
In the world of fashion the general rule is that any choice must be based on the surrounding aspects. Usually, the shirt should not be associated with the shape of the face, but the choice becomes important if you want to emphasize the profile of the chin.
- The oval face has the widest point located on the cheeks and is longer than other face types. In this case, count yourself in luck - you have a versatile face, which can fit different shirt designs.
- Those with a round face should choose clothes that make them appear longer. Shirts with a narrow collar are more suitable for this kind of face.
- Those with angular (or square) faces have the opposite concern to those with a round face. Therefore, a little roundness needs to be given. Shirts with a wide collar are the best choice in this case.
Step 4. Regularly take care of your beard
While letting it grow freely may seem like the best thing to do, it will look more pleasant and appealing if you fix it daily. In other words, you should adjust the beard line on the neck and trim the overgrown hair. Careful air will greatly improve the appearance of the mandibular arch.
Step 5. Moisturize your skin regularly
Acne and other skin imperfections kill any hope of having a jaw that inspires prowess and vigor. Even if you don't suffer from these problems, try giving your face some extra attention. By moisturizing it regularly, it will look well nourished. Use an oil-free cleanser and give it a deep clean every couple of days. The change won't happen overnight, but you will notice progress over the weeks.
These tips are especially important if you have a skin condition, such as acne
Part 4 of 4: Making the Jaw More Beautiful
Step 1. Use a good toner
It will prevent the skin from sagging and, consequently, allow the face (and jaw arch) to remain taut. Any accumulation of dead skin takes away its natural freshness and firmness from the face, so you need to keep these aspects under control if you want to have a truly defined jaw.
Opt for an astringent toner, as it allows you to keep your skin firmer
Step 2. Use products that promote collagen production
Collagen is an active component of the skin that allows it to maintain its firmness. Some cleansers and tonics stimulate collagen production, so you may want to find out about purchasing these products. You can also resort to collagen infiltrations, but considering the undesirable effects they are only recommended as a last resort.
Step 3. Accentuate the mandibular arch with makeup
With the use of cosmetics you can enhance the profile of the chin. There are a few ways to do this. If you are not in the habit of wearing makeup, you will probably have to take several tries before you get the right effect. Furthermore, the make-up must be applied with due delicacy. This way, no one will notice that you have done anything to change the appearance of the mandibular arch.
- Brush up your cheeks and chin with a natural bronzer to draw attention to your chin. It needs to be a tone or two darker than your skin color. Apply it lightly working downwards.
- By highlighting the jaw slightly, you will accentuate its shape. If you spread the bronzer directly over the profile of the chin creating a strip of 5 cm, you will improve the definition of the mandibular arch.
- By applying a little bronzer along the jaw and neck, you will even out the effect of this cosmetic. Apply only a light layer. You have to make sure that the make-up is homogeneous.
Step 4. Consider liposuction
As with any other facial feature, those who want a quick solution can resort to cosmetic surgery. This procedure involves the injection of molecules used by the digestive system that burn excess fat in the area to be treated, stimulating the production of collagen. Talk to your doctor to see if this surgery might interest you.
If you want to have a more defined chin, cosmetic surgery is useful and potentially effective, but the costs and possible side effects make the liposuction procedure a difficult option, if not as a last resort
Advice
- By giving proper attention to other parts of the face, such as the nose, cheeks or forehead, you can change the visual perception of the mandibular arch.
- When the profile of the chin is not very evident, it often means that there is too much body fat. Eat a whole-food diet and go for a run every morning to get the improvements you want.
