#1 If you still can’t get rid of the double chin then go visit a doctor. Maybe the reason for your double chin is not the weight gain or the aging process, but a hormonal problem that needs serious consultation and medication. You might be asked to visit a masso-therapist, don’t worry it is nothing scary, just a massage for water tension relief.

#2 Accept yourself because you are more than what you look. If you have more to offer, if you are communicative and bright, presentative nobody will even notice the under chin. Many people and celebrities face it but tend to do nothing about it, because it is part of who they are.

#3 A change of your hairstyle can visually minimize the double chin. Go to the hairstylist and ask for a suggestion. Most of the times what works best is the long-bob haircut, an angled haircut ( longer hair in front, shorter hair in the back) or layered waves.

#4 Do it like the old days, place a book on top of your head and walk around the room. This walking exercise will improve your posture. Shoulders back, chin up and uncurve your spine. Posture is everything, by practicing you will notice your double chin will significantly be unnoticeable.
