Lots of ppl wanna have a sharp jawline these days. It looks good and makes your face look slimmer and more attractive. Some think its all about genes or surgery but actually you can do exercises to tone the jaw muscles and maybe get a nicer jawline. In this article I will tell u what jaw exercises are, if they work and some easy moves to try at home.
Why People Care About Jawline?
First why do ppl care about jawlines so much? Cause a strong jaw is a sign of youth and health and it makes your face look better. Some ppl have weak jawlines or fat under chin and feel bad about it.
Some ppl do surgery or fillers but exercises are cheaper and safe to do.
Do Jaw Exercises Really Work?
This is the big question. Can u really get a better jaw by exercise? Well maybe. Your bone structure is mostly genetic and u cant change that with exercises. But u can tone the muscles around your jaw and neck and that might make jaw look sharper.
If u have extra fat in face, losing weight and exercising can help reduce that and make jawline more visible.
But if u have loose skin or double chin because of age or genes, exercises might not help much.
How Jaw Exercises Work
Jaw exercises work by making the muscles around jaw and neck stronger. The main muscles are masseter (chewing muscle) and platysma (neck muscle). By working these muscles they get stronger and skin might look tighter.
Easy Jawline Exercises
Try these at home no equipment needed.
1. Chin lifts
Sit straight and tilt head back looking at ceiling. Pucker lips like kissing ceiling and hold 5 seconds. Relax and repeat 10-15 times. This works under chin muscles.
2. Jaw clenches
Close mouth and clench jaw hard for 5-10 seconds. Relax. Repeat 10-15 times. This strengthens chewing muscles. But if u have jaw pain dont do this too much.
3. Neck curl ups
Lie down, press tongue to roof of mouth, lift head slightly like a crunch. Hold 5 seconds and relax. Repeat 10-15 times. This works neck muscles.
4. Say vowels
Open mouth and say A E I O U loud and wide, stretching mouth muscles. Repeat a few times daily.
5. Chewing gum
Chewing gum works jaw muscles too but dont overdo or u might get pain.
How Often?
Do these exercises 5-10 min daily or every other day. It takes weeks to months to see results.
