5 effective ways you can lose face fat

Chubby cheeks and dimpled chin might have made for a fun nursery rhyme, but extra facial fat and double chin stop being cute as you grow up. The excess cheek fat not only makes your face look big but it is also really difficult to hide. In most cases, the fat on your face is the result of overall weight gain, owing to a variety of factors.

So, if you are tired of people pulling your cheeks and hiding the double chin in a low-angle selfie, we are here to help you. We list down facial exercises and effective tips which can help you attain those sculpted cheekbones of your dreams.

2/6

​The fish face exercise

If you have aced the art of making funny faces while taking selfies, you must have already mastered this facial exercise. Simply, suck in your cheeks and make a fish-like face with your lips by puckering them. Hold this pose for at least 10 seconds and repeat a few times throughout the day. While there is no conclusive study which elucidates the effectiveness of facial exercise in getting rid of the facial fat, they may help in firming the facial skin and toning the muscles.

3/6

​Blow the air out exercise

This exercise is exactly as it sounds. Simply blow the air from your mouth for several seconds, relax and do it again. Sit comfortably on a chair, tilt your head back and feel the stretch on your neck and chin as well. Repeat the exercise as often as needed, throughout the day.

4/6

​Start doing cardio

Even though we all would like to lose weight from certain body parts, it is important to understand that you cannot lose fat in isolation. So, instead of trying the spot reduction or targeted fat loss method, we suggest losing overall body weight. From running, cycling, jumping the rope to swimming, there are plenty of high-impact cardio workouts, which will eventually help in slimming down your face.

5/6

​Watch your salt intake

This one is a no-brainer. When you begin to eat food rich in salt and sugar, it may lead to water retention and bloating. As a result, you may suffer from some facial puffiness and swelling. To prevent your body from holding extra water, cut down on your salt intake.

6/6

​Cut down the alcohol consumption

If you are a fan of happy hours, we have some bad news for you. If you drink alcohol on a daily basis and do not drink enough water to counter its dehydrating effect, your body begins to retain water. As a result, your face begins to look puffy and swelled up. You also begin to gain weight as alcohol contains empty calories which simply increase your overall calories intake for the day.
