How can I get rid of my double chin?

by Angie Newson

question
Do you know of any facial exercises to get rid of a double chin?

answer
I love facial exercises! There are some great exercises with fantastic names such as the 'Cheek Developer' and 'Mouth Corner Lift'. However, for your double chin you need to strengthen the muscle that works the lower jaw. Sit comfortably with neck long and chin parallel to the floor. Place your hand at the base of the throat and pull the skin down a little way and tilt your head backwards (keeping tall and without crushing the vertebrae in the cervical area) and slowly release. Repeat twenty to thirty times morning and evening.
