How to “lose weight on your face”

If the fat on the hips and waist can still be somehow draped with rags, then the double chin and sagging cheeks cannot be hidden. “Losing weight” is the dream of many women. This problem is especially tormented by apple-shaped ladies who lose weight from the bottom up: legs, hips, waist, chest, arms, neck, and only then the face.

Causes of a double chin and sagging cheeks:

1. Weakness of muscles
2. Overweight
3. Congenital or acquired stoop
4. Habit of walking with your head down
5. Reading while lying on your back
6. Sudden weight loss or weight gain (relevant for obese and thin people after 40-45 years)

A double chin can be a signal of thyroid dysfunction. Be sure to go to an endocrinologist!

Correction methods:

1. Diet
2. Special exercises
3. Sleeping on a low pillow
4. The habit of keeping your head straight

Morning massage

In the morning: massage the chin and sagging cheeks with a towel. Soak a towel in the herbal infusion and grasp it by the edges. Make several sharp movements like an accordion: sharply spread the ends of the towel to the sides so that the fabric slaps against your chin.

The best herbs for infusion: chamomile, sage, linden blossom, yarrow (pour 1 tbsp of herb with 1.5 tbsp of boiling water, leave for 20 minutes or cook the night before).

We enhance the effect: it is advisable to alternate “herbal” days with “salty” ones. The massage towel is moistened in a strong salt solution (1 tablespoon of sea or iodized salt per 1 liter of water). But in this case, it is important to act in accordance with your facial skin type:

1. For dry skin, the solution should be gentle and at room temperature;

2. For normal and oily skin, the solution can be made more concentrated;

3. After the procedure, apply a cream suitable for your skin to your face and neck.

Attention! Sudden changes in temperature are contraindicated for skin with an expanded capillary network. Water requirements are the same as for dry skin.

Mask-lift

We do it once a week.

Ingredients: for oily skin based on yeast, lemon juice or egg white; for dry and normal skin - with the addition of oatmeal, bran or liquid vitamin A (2-3 drops).

Process: apply the composition to the face, neck and décolleté (2-3 layers). Lie down with your head thrown back to tighten your chin area. Lie like this for 15 minutes.

Two sets of exercises: long and short

In addition to strengthening your facial muscles, you will also strengthen your cervical spine. Fitness experts recommend doing facial exercises in front of a mirror, after smearing problem areas with cream or wiping with lotion.
