One of the aesthetic problems that bother people the most, without a doubt, is the double chin, also known as double chin. Although it is more common in overweight people, or after a certain age, double chins can actually appear in young, thin people.
Among its main causes, we can mention the loss of muscle tone, which can result from rapid weight loss or, simply, because the neck muscles are not sufficiently exercised and consequently poorly toned.
The good news is that today we can count on several options to end the problem, which can range from the use of creams, to physical exercises, aesthetic treatments or, as a last resort, surgery.
Check out the main options for eliminating double chin below.

1. Physical exercises
For those who prefer to eliminate their double chin in a more natural way, the tip is to resort to simple physical exercises regularly, such as:
1.1. Bring your chin to your chest
Lying on your back, try to relax your neck muscles, and slowly bring your head towards your chest, touching it with your chin, then return to the starting position. Repeat 10 times, and increase the repetitions as it becomes easier.
1.2. Move the chin down
Sitting, move your head down to push your chin towards your chest, with your mouth open. This exercise must be repeated 10 times, with the repetitions increasing little by little. This exercise makes all the jaw and neck muscles tense, helping to increase muscle tone.
1.3. Press the roof of the mouth
Bend your head to the left and, at the same time, press the roof of your mouth with your tongue 10 times in a row, repeating the same exercise on the other side.
1.4. Pronounce the letters X and O
Pronouncing certain letters of the alphabet repeatedly can be very effective. So, sitting with your back straight and resting on the back of the chair, pronounce the letters X and O 20 times, consecutively. Do 3 sets, resting 1 minute between one letter and the next. The movements carried out with the mouth and palate help to maintain muscle tone in constant activity, thus leaving the region firmer and more toned.
1.5. Chewing gum
Also very effective for exercising facial muscles, chewing a simple piece of gum, preferably sugar-free, keeps the facial muscles in constant movement, strengthening tone and helping to define the chin.
