One of the signs of aging that women hate more than any other is the disappearance of a crisp, visible jawline.

 And it’s not just a matter of gaining weight either.

 Fat can accumulate in the chin area because of various reasons: genetics, poor posture (that can weaken supporting muscles in the neck over time), loss of skin elasticity etc. According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 70% of Americans seem to be struggling with the problem.

 If you’re feeling self-conscious about a double chin that is refusing to go away, here are 3 solutions that we have found to be actually very effective.

 

# 1: Remove A Double Chin Permanently With Kybella

 Kybella is the only non-surgical solution to reduce fat deposits under the chin. This FDA-approved product, administered in a cosmetic surgery clinic, contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that destroys fat cells. The product is directly injected into the area underneath the chin. The fat cells rupture and the body flushes them right out of the body over a period of about 3 weeks. Two to four treatments, lasting about ten minutes each, may be recommended for the most optimal results.

 

# 2: Try Face Yoga To Tighten The Area

 A regular practice of doing a set of face yoga – exercise for the face – can work wonders to reduce not just the double chin bulge, but tighten loose muscles, improve blood circulation and possibly discourage facial wrinkles and creases. Easily completed while performing any sedentary activity, such as watching television, face yoga is a cheap solution, provided you keep practicing on a regular basis.

# 3: Use Make-Up To Conceal A Double Chin

 Darkening the area under the chin with make-up creates an illusion of the double chin having receded significantly. You can use a blusher or a foundation that is a few shades darker than your face. Apply right under the chin, and on the jawline, making sure the color does not extend down the neck. Remember to blend thoroughly when you draw a sharper V-line shape on the jawline. You can finish off with a subtle layer of highlighting powder or cream just above to make the light-and-shadow effect even more pronounced.

 Good luck!
