The neck and throat area is unfortunately the area where crepey skin forms, giving away your age, even if you have a flawless skin. Another problem that can be addressed with these facial exercises is that of a double chin.

Underneath please find exercises that people have found beneficial (see what they say) to help boost their looks.

How often to exercise

The facial exercises should be done daily for at least three to four weeks, and can then be scaled down to three times a week.

Please note

Should you have any health problems or concerns, we recommend that you discuss these exercises with your health care professional, osteopath, chiropractor or physiotherapist, before starting them. Remember - the exercises are there to help and should not cause any pain - if that happens please cease doing them and refer to your health practitioner.

Neck, throat and jowl exercises

Exercise 1

Sit or stand upright and tilt your head to the ceiling while keeping your lips together but not forcing them closed. Start a chewing movement - you will feel the muscles working. Repeat the chewing movement 20 times. This is a good exercise to help rid you of a double chin.

Exercise 2

Sit upright with your head tilted to the ceiling. Pucker your lips in a kiss and stretch them as if to kiss the ceiling. Keep this position for 5 seconds, then relax your lips, bring back your head to normal position. Repeat 5 times.

Exercise 3

Sitting upright tilt your head backwards looking at the ceiling with lips relaxed. Open your lips and stick out your tongue as if trying to touch your chin. Keep your tongue sticking out for 5 seconds, return tongue and head to normal position. Repeat 5 times.

Exercise 4

Sit upright and tilt your head looking to the ceiling while keeping your lips together but relaxed. Next move your lower lip over your top lip as far as possible and keep for a count of five. Return head to normal position and repeat exercise 10 times.

Exercise 5

Lie on your bed with your head hanging over the edge. Slowly bring your chin towards your torso and keep it in that position for a count of ten. Repeat 5 times.

Exercise 6

Sit or stand upright and slowly drop your head forward without forcing it. The weight of your head will gently stretch the muscles in your neck. Hold this position for a count of 5 and return your head to normal position. Repeat 5 times.

Exercise 7

Sit or stand upright and gently turn your head to the left, without dropping or lifting your chin. Turn your head until you feel a stretching sensation. Hold in this position for 5 counts and then gently move your head to the right hand side and keep for a count of 5. Repeat 3 times.
