Some people argue that facial exercises do not help much when you are trying to lose the weight in your face. However, that is not true; in fact, it has been revealed that engaging in facial exercises twice daily for eight weeks can improve facial rejuvenation and muscle thickness. Constantly contracting and expanding your face as commonly done in other body workouts helps to burn fat in those areas. The contraction of the facial muscle can also help to improve blood circulation in your face. This aids in detoxifying the fat and getting rid of it. Facial exercises also strengthen your facial muscles and they go a long way in preventing or controlling double chin. Facial exercises include the following.

1. Chin Lifts for Double Chin
This exercise is recommended for people who want to get rid of a double chin. You can do this exercise while sitting or standing, whichever makes you comfortable. The first step is to lift your chin and fix your eyes on the ceiling. You will then move your lower lip inwards while maintaining the position of your chin. Keep this up for 10 seconds and then proceed to smile while in that position. Hold it for 10 seconds and then release. You can repeat this 10 to 12 times. This exercise will work your muscles; if you do not feel your muscles work, you are not doing it well. The idea behind this workout is to stretch the muscles in the upper part of your neck, face, and jaw. Your neckline should be well toned if you do this regularly and efficiently.
2. The Fish Face
If you do this exercise well, your face should look just like the name suggests. To do this, you need to suck in your cheeks and hold for 10 to 15 seconds. You should repeat this 10 to 15 times.
