For instance, you will find friends easily, bond with other people, get a job, and even receiving a professional career advancement.

It is unfortunate that not everyone is born with an anatomically pleasing face. Some people are even born with a puffy face which causes the double chin, non-ideal cheekbones, and big cheeks.
What causes a puffy face?
According to some studies a puffy face can give you the advantage of aging more gracefully, still a big face can give you low confidence in front of the camera. Additionally, a puffy face can make you look fatter than you are.
The puffy face is usually manifested with the double chin, big cheeks and an overly round face and it is usually caused by the way fat is stored in your body. Moreover, a puffy face can also be caused by alcohol consumption and this is why many people wake up with a bloated face, after a night of drinking.
Another cause is dehydration, which causes our face to store more water and more seriously it can be a symptom of a serious medical condition such as Hypothyroidism.
The exercises
- Chin Lift
Your double chin won’t disappear immediately, but it could be reduced with a simple facial exercise. The chin lift regime can help you achieve a slimmer face because it helps your facial muscles with stretching and it gets rid of fat reserve.
It is really easy to practice this exercise and it doesn’t matter if you are sitting or standing. The first step is to tilt your head up, and keep your eyes straight upward. Start doing the “kissing motion” with your lips, count to 10 and then relax. Make sure you do 10 repetitions with each turn lasting for 10 seconds.
- Lips Pull
Once you are done with the chin lift you can continue with the next exercise where you need to lift your lower lip and push out your lower jaw. Do 10 repetitions, each lasting 10 seconds. This exercise might cause strain to your face, but it will go away after more practice. Make sure you also follow a stricter diet, so these exercises can have a greater effect.
- Smiling Fish Face
The smiling fish face is a trendy Instagram selfie pose, but it is also popular in the yoga community for its weight loss effects.
This exercise will help you tone up your cheek muscles. You need to suck in your cheeks and lips and try to smile at the same time. Do 10 repetitions for 5 seconds each and you will notice your face changing soon. The positive side of this exercise is the fact that it can be done at any time i.e. while listening to music, or watching your favorite TV show.
The negative thing is that you might laugh too much with your friends when you do it together!
- Candle Blow
The candle blow exercise is self-explanatory. The only instruction you need is to make sure that you do it while sitting on a chair, with your head tilted back, looking at the ceiling. It might seem childish, but it is super effective in working your neck and facial muscles. Do 10 repetitions and hold the pose for 10 seconds per repetition.
- Jaw Release
The jaw release exercise involves all of the jaw muscles and it basically resembles a chewing of air. For this exercise you need to move your jaw in a chewing motion, but have your lips closed. Breathe in and out with a humming and then wide open your mouth and press the tip of your tongue to the bottom of your teeth. Stay in this pose for 5 seconds and then breathe in and out normally. Do 10 repetitions and hold each for 5 seconds. By doing this exercise, you will have higher cheekbones and a more defined jawline.
- X’s and O’s
This game is done with your mouth and although it might seem childish, it can be really effective in strengthening your facial muscles and burning off the extra fat in your cheeks and chin. You can practice this exercise with your friend and do at least 10 repetitions. Don’t forget to have fun while doing them!
- Mouth Wash
This exercise will keep your gums and teeth healthy and it will shed the extra fat from your face. The mouth wash technique can help you tone up your cheeks and to get rid of your double chin. If you have used a mouthwash at least once, then you know how this exercise works. You can always do it with air, by imitating the same motions as when using a mouthwash. Repeat this exercise for a few minutes, then relax and do a few more motions.
- Just Smile
Smiling is one of the best and most effective exercises which can help you have a slimmer face. Although, smiling is usually taken for granted, it can help you live longer, have a better mental health and now, have a slimmer face.
Make sure you always have a wide smile, so you can stretch all of your muscles on your cheeks.
