Not everyone is born with chiseled features or high cheekbones because the facial structure is determined by genetics, but it’s very much possible to get a sharp and well-defined jawline by following certain tricks, and we are not talking about contouring technique that helps to cut angles and shape facial features using makeup. We can define the jawline and get a toned and slimmer face by following a proper diet and exercise routine because often facial fat hides the sharpness and definition of the jaw. To get a sharp jawline, we should give more importance to toning and strengthening muscles of the jaw. Since spot reduction of facial fat just does not work, toning facial muscles and losing overall body fat are the ideal solutions, and the good thing is that since the fat on the face is not considered “stubborn,” as belly or thigh fat, it’s relatively easy to lose. In this post, we list down ways to get a sharper jawline and in the process, you can look younger and get rid of the double chin as well.

1. Lose Weight by Getting on the Right Kind of Diet: As we have mentioned previously, you can get a sculpted and a slimmer face permanently by following the right kind of weight loss diet, such as on the Rati Beauty app. When you lose weight, it would show on your face too, and your face would slim down just like the rest of your body.

2. Cut Down on Salt to Prevent Water Retention: Foods rich in salt and MSG (monosodium glutamate) can cause bloating and puffy face. Avoiding high-sodium foods can help you get rid of puffiness that leads to temporary facial swelling. Also avoiding processed foods would help lower water retention.

3. Practice Facial Yoga: Exercising those muscles is one of the best ways to get better oxygen circulation through the face, to tighten and firm up skin as well. Facial muscles need to be worked upon too, for a sculpted and toned look. As we age, collagen production drops, and facial skin tends to become saggy and loose. The best way to get a toned face is to spend some time doing facial yoga. Practice these 7 Facial Yoga Exercises to Tone Your Face and Get a Sharper Jawline.

4. Say no to Refined Carbs: Refined carbs flood the body with empty calories that later get stored as fat, even on your face, and over a period of time, with unhealthy eating habits, double chin would make an appearance, hiding your jawline. Cutting back on refined carbs can prove beneficial in weight loss and ultimately in losing facial fat.
