NEXT STEPS

So after starting with a skincare routine that’s going to instantly firm your jawline, follow up with these 6 tips…

The first two are really simple to do and they both visually enhance your jawline. The trick is to elongate the appearance of your face so that your chin looks more defined.

#1:Choose a hairstyle that enhances your jawline

You want a style that elongates your face. So keep the sides tight, and add volume to the top to elongate your face shape. Avoid making the sides fuller as this will add to any roundness of your face.

Even if you have only a little hair always think about keeping the sides very tight to make the most of what you’ve got.

#2: Add definition with facial hair

You can get a lot of definition by adding some light shade on your jawline. This will make it appear darker and more defined. Even just a light stubble will help to accentuate your jawline. Use your clippers and play around to find the best length for your face shape.

Shape with a goatee

Adopting a goatee style is the easiest way to make a difference to the shape and contours of your face. It will immediately elongate your face and define your chin. Play around with the proportions to get the best effect. And pay special attention to keeping both sides even!

Shaving with our Protective Shave Creamis great for this because it’s translucent!

So you can see exactly where you’ve shaved and where you need to take off a little more.

Unfortunately, your jawline is an area that can be prone to acne, which can be made worse by shaving the wrong way. We've got more on how to get rid of acne here: "How to Clear Up Acne on Your Jawline".

Adopt a full beard style

If you decide to grow out to a full beard just remember not to round out. Always think about keeping the sides tight, at the same time as elongating your chin.

(You can check out our article "How to Shape Your Beard for a Slimmer Face and a Stronger Jawline"for more tips).

Colour your beard

Colouring your beard so that it’s a uniform darkness will also add definition. This can be a tricky process so it’s best to get expert advice the first time you do it! We’ve got more information on this in an upcoming article.

The right hairstyle (and beard style) can visiblyimprove the look of your jawline

And then there’s changes you can make to your diet...

#3:Reduce sodium intake

You can get rid of any puffiness in your face which is hiding your jawline by reducing your salt intake. So that means cutting back on salty snacks, crisps and junk food - and staying away from adding extra salt to your food.

Also try drinking more water. This will make your face less bloated and allow your jawline to appear.

#4:Lose body fat

When you lose body fat your face will automatically look more chiselled and your jawline will look more defined.

Everything tightens up, and you will have a great looking chiselled jawline.

We've got more on caring for your skinafter working out here - "8 Skincare Tips for Clear, Healthy Post-Workout Skin".

So really the message is lose fat and gain muscle – and it’s more than just your jawline that will benefit!

#5:Chew gum

Chewing gum is one of the easiest ways of improving your jawline definition.

The chewing action works the muscles in your neck and jaw, which really tightens up the whole jawline and chin area. And if you’re constantly chewing, you’re working those muscles all day long.

#6:Jawline exercises

Each morning, as you stand in front of the mirror, you can easily add these to your grooming routine.

We should warn you that you’ll probably feel pretty silly doing these, so you might want to shut the bathroom door before you start!

With these exercises you should feel the muscles in the front and side of your neck and under your chin being worked because that’s the area that we need to sharpen up and strengthen in order to define the jaw.

As you get older your face can start to sag,and you lose definition in your cheeks and jawline. Working these muscles should help to tone up any sagging cheeks and droopy jowls.

And for an action plan to stay looking young, and help preventfine lines and wrinkles too,see"Look Younger: Your Complete Anti Aging Plan".

Jawline defining exercise 1: Chin Lift

  1. Standing in front of the mirror, and keeping your mouth closed, try to push your lower jaw out at the same time as lifting your lower lip.
  2. You should feel a stretch build up in your jawline and just under your chin.
  3. Hold the position for 10–15 seconds, then relax.
    Number of Reps: Try to do 15 of these each morning.

Jawline defining exercise 2: Tongue Twister

  1. Press your tongue onto the roof of your mouth, directly behind your teeth.
  2. Increase the pressure to add tension.
  3. Now start to make a humming sound… we know, we know! But honestly this will help to activate your jawline muscles. Hold for one breath.
    Number of Reps: Do 15 of these each morning.

Jawline defining exercise 3: Collarbone Back Up

  1. In a standing position, and keeping your head level with the floor, try to slide your head back several inches. You should feel the muscles on either side of your neck contract as you go back and then relax as you release forward.
  2. Make sure that your head stays level the whole time.
  3. Hold the position for 10 seconds, then relax. Build up to a hold of 30 seconds as you progress.
    Number of Reps: Do 10 repetitions each morning

And this last exercise you need to lie down for

Jawline defining exercise 4: Neck Curl

Think of this exercise as like an abdominal curl for your neck.

  1. Start by lying on your back with your tongue pressed to the roof of your mouth just behind your teeth. This will activate your front neck muscles.
  2. Bring your chin to your chest and then lift your head off of the ground about 2 inches (5cm).
  3. It’s only a small movement. So take your time, these muscles are often underdeveloped and you can cause neck strain if you lift too high too soon.
    Number of Reps: Start by doing 10 repetitions each morning and gradually build up to 3 sets of 10 reps.

Other benefits of jawline exercises

Not only will these exercises strengthen and define you jaw, but they also:

  • Reduce tension in your face and neck caused by stress, or staring at a screen all day – which will lessen any headaches
  • Increase blood circulation – allowing more oxygen and essential nutrients to reach your skin cells
  • Relax your face – and you’re always going to look better if you look more relaxed!
