How to get rid of double chin at home?
Try to keep your back straight while working.
Remove, cut, lime or mask – these are the most popular queries on the web regarding the second chin. Let’s see what exactly can be done to get rid of the second chin at home.
Keep your back straight when sitting, standing, working, or looking at your smartphone. A straight back is the key not only to a beautiful posture, but also to a clear facial contour. We wrote about it here.
Try not to allow strong fluctuations in weight, do not gain extra pounds. We understand that this is not easy. But the fact is that fat accumulates in the fold under the lower jaw, and under its weight, the tissues lose their elasticity and sink. The result is a second chin.
Exercise at least minimally. For example, walk 10 steps daily at a fast pace. Physical activity strengthens the body, improves vascular tone. The more you move, do fitness, the better the muscles and lymphatic system work, so the fat does not have time to be deposited.
Use products with a pronounced lifting effect for facial skin care. When applying a cream or serum, do not forget about the neck and décolleté. Use a variety of massage techniques to distribute the cream.
Do gymnastics from the second chin. Today you can sign up for courses, take lessons from face fitness trainers, learn exercises via the Internet – there are a lot of options! The decisive question is to find a competent specialist who will show and teach how to properly perform exercises. You can take some lessons with the help of our videos.

The best exercises against the second chin
An important point to be taken into account. Any exercises from the second chin are best done in the morning, devoting 20-30 minutes to classes. The frequency of execution is five times a week, in the remaining two days the skin should rest.
When facial gymnastics becomes a familiar ritual (after about a month of regular classes), the frequency of doing exercises can be reduced to 2-3 times a week. But no less!

Repeat attempts at least 20-30 times.
For the neck
Sit up straight and stretch your neck up like a giraffe.
