Enjoy and please save this article as I will keep updating the blog post! <3
1. First thing first, what CAUSES the double chin for real?
I know it’s boring but when you know all possible reasons to cause the formation of double chin, it’s just somehow easier to tackle!
A double chin is caused by a few key factors below:
- Fat Accumulation: Okay this one is easy to understand – we are talking about the weight gain here that reasonably can cause fat to deposit under the chin.
- Genetics: Your DNA dictates where your body stores fat first and last.
- Aging: As we age, our skin loses elasticity and the platysma muscle in the neck can weaken and sag, creating the appearance of a double chin.
- Posture: Consistently poor posture (“The turtleneck thing”) can weaken neck muscles and allow the skin and tissue under the chin to fold over time.
Now, let’s get to the tips!
2. Master the “Mewing” Technique
Ever heard of mewing?
If you still think it is a woo-woo thing, lemme confirm you, no it’s not.
I’ve been practicing Mewing for 1 year and I can confidently say the double chin has been GREATLY improve.
It’s basically resting your whole tongue against the roof of your mouth – not just the tip!
This little hack comes from Dr. John Mew (yep, that’s why it’s called “mewing” lol) and while it sounds simple, it actually engages all those muscles under your chin.
The science backs this up – those muscles supporting your hyoid bone get a mini-workout when you do this correctly.
Just press your tongue gently to the roof of your mouth, keep your lips closed, teeth slightly apart, and breathe through your nose.
The youtube video I’ve been following is this one –
All you need is have faith and invest 3 minutes daily and that’s it!

3. Retinol, retinol, retinol
Sis, if you haven’t tried retinol, what are you waiting for…
Retinoids are basically miracle workers for boosting collagen and improving skin elasticity.
But of course, retinoids are intense that’s why I’m recommending retinol instead.
I’ve been using these two cheap retinol cream religiously for more than one year and I can tell my face is firmer and in all seriousness, I am now in late 20s but I am now looking like early 20s.
So yea, do more research about the before and after using retinol and start incorporating this to your skincare routine and see the magic happen.
I personally can see the texture of skin changed just by one month.
Disclaimer:
Depends of your skin type, not everyone is the good candidate for applying retinol. When in doubt, ask the doctor and professional opinion! <3
4. Drink apple cider vinegar
I will keep this short as it’s quite self-explanatory.
Drinking apple cider vinegar can prevent fat deposition and improve their metabolism in general.
For the curious babies, check out this youtube video below.
So yea, naturally you will just lose some weight and thus the double chin situation will be lessen for sure!
5. Your Pillow Might Be Sabotaging You
I know some might think I’m dramatic but seriously, the pillow can be one of the reasons.
Let’s not forget we literally spend 6-8 hours DAILY on our bed.
Switch to a cervical pillow that supports your neck’s natural curve.
When your neck is bent at weird angles all night, it trains those muscles to stay in that not-so-flattering position during the day.
A good pillow keeps everything in proper alignment so you wake up with your best face forward.
6. Switch to nose breathing instead of mouth breathing while sleeping 👃
Countless studies show mouth breathing is bad for sleep quality AND appearance (especially for teenagers).
If you want a good face shape, just stop nose breathing.
According to medical studies, chronic mouth breathing may contribute to:
- Unfiltered air entering lungs
- Inefficient upper-chest breathing
- Chronic over-breathing
- Snoring and sleep apnea
- Bad breath and dental issues
- Jaw joint dysfunction
- Narrowed dental arch
- Muscle dysfunction around jaw and lips
- Enlarged tonsils and adenoids 😮
This tip isn’t common, but some of you need to hear it!
Research how mouth breathing affects your jaw and face overall.
To keep your mouth closed while sleeping, try gentle mouth tape! 💤
