As a child, we thought you were cute, thanks to your plumpface. Except that today, it is still as rounded and you do not really appreciate this feature anymore. Double chin and good cheeks are your complex and you would like to refine them. Here are some explanations and solutions to display a finer face.

Why are some faces rounder than others?

First of all, it is good to determine the reasons behind a round face.

Being overweightcan quite explain this physical characteristic. The head is not free of fat cells, which are mainly located in the cheeks, cheekbones, eyelid pockets, chin and neck. Inevitably, if we get bigger, the face will also tend to “fill”. Good news, however: it refines very quickly during weight loss – much faster than thebuttocksorthighs, predisposed to store.

Round cheeks can also be ananatomical feature. In which case, it is very difficult to change something. We are born this way, without choosing to have a full or hollow face. This is also true for the double chin, which can be a genetic predisposition. If your mom or dad has an unsightly little goiter, you may not cut it either.

However, swelling in the face can hide a more serious cause, such as ahealth problem. We obviously think of the phenomenonof water retention, due to veno-lymphatic, cardiac or renal failure, and which can lead to edema of the face. But we also think of hormonal problems, such as thyroid diseases (Graves’ disease, De Quervain’s or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, nodules…).

Finally, somemedicationscan change the physiognomy of the face and give it a more plump or swollen appearance. This is the case of corticosteroids, certain antihypertensive drugs, or certain hormonal treatments.

Also, before you want to refine your face by hygiene-dietary measures or beauty and care tips, a little trip to your doctor will not be too much.

What to do to slim your face?

Food hygiene

If your round face is due to a diet that is too rich or uncontrolled, a few dietary measures should help you refine it. The important thing is to ensure good food hygiene:

make your own meals, rather than having the (bad) delivery reflex;

Choose raw foods and make sure youeat everything in reasonable quantities – fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, lean proteins;

Pay attention to yoursalt intake, as it promotes water retention;
drink a lot, mainly water, but also tea and drainingherbal teas(such as Cellublue’sDetox Slimming Herbal Tea, rich in quackgrass and detoxifying meadowsweet);
avoid Hollow calories , which serve neither your health nor your weight – we obviously think of fatty, sweet, salty and refined products;
eat at regular times, calmly, pausing after each bite;
do not skip meals , otherwise you will destabilize your metabolism and promote the yoyo effect .

If you adopt a healthy and balanced diet, you should easily lose a few excess pounds and regain a slimmer face.

Physical activity

You know it now, weight loss is based for 70% on a healthy diet and for 30% on sport. Also, to destock (including on the face), you have to move. No need to do the marathon, a few measures could make the difference:

daily journeys are made on foot or by bicycle rather than by car;
any opportunity to move is to be seized – stairs rather than elevator, lunch break outside rather than in front of the computer, active pastime rather than Netflix…
Twice a week, for one-hour sessions, practice a sport that you like ( Running , swimmingdance hall… whatever).

These small daily efforts, which must become so many pleasures, will totally change the situation. You will see it on your face: it will become more refined and will also appear much fresher and more serene.

Facial Gym

To hollow out your cheeks :

Smile hard, pushing your cheekbones as high as possible, and hold the position for 10 seconds. Release for a few moments and repeat 5 times in a row.
Pronounce “X” and then “O” 20 times, articulating exaggeratedly. You can repeat the exercise up to 3 times.

To clear your double chin:

Head straight and shoulders relaxed, put a hand at the lower base of your neck, to keep the skin tight. Then smile broadly and throw your head back, without abruptness, keeping the skin of the neck tight. Repeat about twenty times.
Head straight, make the so-called “bulldog” face, putting your lower lip on your upper lip, then trying to smile. A word of advice: make sure you are alone, to avoid causing hilarity in your loved ones…

Other tips

This little program should help you slim your face. But there are other “tips” that could be beneficial:

Facial massage, for example, helps to drain the flows and tone the skin muscles. It can be done by hand, with a day cream, but also with a massage accessory (such as the jade roller, but also cupping or Gua Sha fromSkinblue) and a good natural vegetable oil;
create the illusion withcontouring makeup, to sculpt the contours of your face and give it a more hollow look;
A proper haircut, in harmony with the shape of your face, can focus on your strengths (eyes, mouth, cheekbones), rather than what you consider to be flaws.
