Shaping or massage treatments and the use of a strong astringent are essential steps in banishing a jowl or loose throat, but you should also focus on exercises.
Even if you feel a bit skeptical about their effectiveness at first, practice them first, practice them regularly for a couple of weeks and you will get used to doing them seriously because you can see a lot of improvement.
Stand with your head up, shoulders straight, chest high. Roll your chin over your right shoulder, slowly, stretching fully. Then turn left and as far back as you can. Repeat five times in each direction.
Now drop your chin to your chest as if your head is too heavy to support. Slowly raise your head and let it fall back as far as possible. Repeat this five to ten times.
Then slowly turn your head around your shoulders, touching your entire body. To the right five times, then reverse and turn your head to the left. Sit in a straight-backed chair while you do this, as you may feel a bit dizzy at first.
Finally, drop your head back as far as you can and slowly open and close your mouth ten times. Remember to do all of these exercises slowly. It is the constant and deliberate pulling of the muscles that strengthens them and restores their elasticity.
Be sure to cleanse and cream your neck before any massage or exercise treatment. And finish by wiping off the cream and patting briskly with ice water or astringent to help firm and tone the tissues.
For the chin that isn’t really double, but just bulging and saggy, do the same exercises, just with less effort. Use a lot of face oil or rich cream.
If the throat is creepy, stringy or skinny, do the same exercises. Exercise uses the muscles, making them fuller, stimulating circulation and improving the texture and color of the skin. Use lots of rich cream and occasionally, when you have time for a long treatment, a warm oil or milk mask preparation that will speed up circulation, get rid of that dull look and flake off dead skin. All chins need cold water in the morning and an occasional quick ice rub before applying makeup.
And pay more attention to makeup. Necks need the same careful treatment that you give your face. Use a foundation. A powdered lotion is generally considered better as it lasts and lasts and is less likely to stick to the neckline of your dress. However, if the neck is thin and dry, you can use a little of your cream foundation if you apply it sparingly, powder more carefully, and then quickly wipe the area with a cotton pad dipped in cold water. This will set your makeup and give your skin a clear, natural look.
There is another enemy that you may have to eliminate or at least try to avoid if you want a pleasantly youthful face: the lines from the corners, from the nose to the mouth. Give them a little attention when you’re getting your throat treatment. Apply rich cream and with two fingers of each hand, start on the sides of the chin and mold upwards to the nose. Think of something pleasurable as you work to make the corners of your lips automatically lift and relax. Repeat the upward massage about twenty times.
Another equally good exercise is to keep your lips together firmly and fill your cheeks with air. Then quickly hit upwards on the same lines. Slowly exhale, relax and repeat several times.
