Everyone has some fat under their chin (just a little), however some people have an overabundance of fat. When you have a lot of fat under your chin, it may actually appear that you have two (or more) chins. This is called a double chin. While double chins are more common in older and obese people, young and healthy people can get it too. You can easily get rid of a double chin through liposuction or surgery. But, realistically, this is not the easiest option. It is costly and painful.
Some people swear by chewing gum to get rid of a double chin. The chewing helps with your neck muscles, eliminating fat that accumulates under your chin. The best way to naturally get rid of double chins is through diet and exercise. If you lose calories, it will show on your whole body (not just your waist size). Some people are naturally skinny and skill have a double chin, though. In these cases, you have to find ways to minimize your double chin (unless you want to have surgery).
Ways to minimize double chins are by having good posture, using make up, wearing jewelery and picking the right clothes and haircut. Lets look at posture first. You need to be sitting or standing up straight. Your head should be level and your jaw needs to be slightly jutted. If you want to get serious, there are special ergonomic chairs that you can buy to actually help with your posture. Another way to minimize a double chin is by using make up. You should use a dark foundation at the actual double chin area. You need to blend it in with lighter foundation so it doesn’t look too obvious. This should help minimize the appearance of the double chin by drawing attention upward to the face.
Next, as far as jewelry goes, you should stay away from tight necklaces or necklaces that are high on the neck.
Try longer necklaces instead. Picking the right clothing can also help you minimize the double chin. Scarves can help hide it in the Winter. In the summer, opt for clothes that are not high on the neck. Instead of wearing collared shirts, try V neck shirts or other low cut designs. And finally, try to keep your hair above your neckline.
Longer hair actually draws attention to the neck, while shorter hair draws upward attention to the face.
