Chin & Jawline Lift
This is one of the most common face yoga moves for a reason — it directly engages the platysma, the sheet-like muscle that runs from the jaw down the neck, which is closely tied to how defined the jawline looks and how much a double chin shows.
How to Do It
Tilt your head slightly back, look upward, and extend your lower lip upward or do a gentle "kiss the ceiling" motion.
Why It Works
The platysma is a large, easily accessible muscle — strengthening it is one of the more evidence-supported claims in facial exercise research for improving jawline appearance.
Benefits
- Directly targets the platysma, tied to jawline definition
- Can reduce the appearance of a double chin over time
- One of the most researched face yoga movements
FAQ
Can this exercise get rid of a double chin?
It can help tone the platysma and improve jawline definition, but a double chin caused by fat deposits (rather than muscle laxity) may need other approaches like targeted treatments.
How often should I do the Chin & Jawline Lift?
Daily practice for several weeks is typically needed to notice a difference — treat it like light strength training, not a one-time fix.
