Why do we have a double chin? What are the causes of a double chin?

Beauty is something that everyone has been pursuing. Let’s work together to eliminate the double chin, the natural enemy of beauty. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Today we will understand why there is a double chin and what are the causes of a double chin?

1. Caused by obesity

If you have too much fat, it is inevitable to have a double chin. It is indeed difficult to get rid of a double chin alone. The most effective way is to start with full-body exercise, first lose weight overall and then lose weight locally.

2. Why do I have a double chin even though I’m not fat?

1) Skin aging or sagging

This situation usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. As we age, our skin ages and becomes loose, and sags due to gravity. The original lines of our face are no longer tight, and it is easy to form a double chin.

2) Bad living posture

Nowadays, most young people are always looking down at their phones. Looking down at their phones for a long time will not only cause pressure on the cervical spine, but also easily form a double chin. Not only that, lying in bed playing with your phone before going to bed can also easily form a double chin!

1. Not paying attention to daily maintenance

A double chin is not only a sign of obesity, but also a sign of early aging of the skin. After the age of 25, the collagen in the skin will gradually disappear, gradually loosen and lose elasticity. Coupled with the influence of gravity, not only will the facial lines no longer be firm, but there will also be a double chin. Therefore, it is very important to use facial cream to do a good job of skin moisturizing, anti-wrinkle and other maintenance.

2. Hunched back

People who hunch their backs whether standing or sitting have the habit of leaning their heads and necks forward, which can lead to poor metabolism of the chin, causing fat to accumulate in the offset area, squeezing it into a double chin. In addition, if a person is too beautiful but hunches when walking or sitting, it will also give people the impression that they are just good-looking but lack temperament.

3. Often looking down at your phone

Nowadays, there are more and more people who are looking down at their phones in daily life and work, and looking down at their phones frequently is also a major cause of double chins. If you look down frequently, the muscles of your chin will relax, and fat will accumulate, which will lead to a double chin.

1. Massage to thin your chin

The face is usually difficult to exercise, and massage can directly and effectively work on the fat. Usually, pay more attention to massaging the area from the chin to the neck to promote lymphatic circulation and help eliminate the fat on the chin. Tui na and kneading are more effective. You can also use a scraping board and apply essential oil before massage to avoid skin abrasions.

2. Do more head-up exercises

Often bowing your head will lead to a double chin, so you can do more head-raising exercises, lift your head and neck back, close your lips, and feel the stretch of your chin and neck. This exercise can be done at any time, which can not only effectively eliminate double chins, but also prevent the formation of neck wrinkles.

3. Meal chewing exercise

Every time you eat, chew your food repeatedly. Chew slowly and feel the muscles of your jaw being pulled. Practice while eating. Making full use of jaw exercises can make the jaw muscles contract and firm.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, massaging Daying acupoint can improve facial blood circulation and tighten the skin, thereby reducing double chins. Daying acupoint means "big", "many", and "respected". "Ying" means "receive". Daying acupoint is an important channel for the stomach meridian to transport qi and blood to the brain. The stomach meridian is a meridian with a lot of qi and blood, with a mixture of clear and turbid qi. The brain can only store the essence and cannot receive turbid qi, so it is necessary to remove the coarse and retain the essence of the qi and blood substances transported by the stomach meridian.
