Unfortunately, the older we get, the more often we see sagging, wrinkled skin under our chin. In fact, one of the things that worries many people the most is the accumulation of fat or sagging of the skin under the chin, which we know as turkey neck.
There are many reasons for this appearance, although it is usually related to weight gain. It can also be caused by lack of exercise in this area. Studies have shown that a 10-minute daily face and neck exercise can significantly improve facial appearance.
These best neck exercises you can begin today to start saying goodbye to the turkey neck and double chin.
1. Forehead push
Place your hands on your forehead and press your head against your hands. Do not move your head or hands, just apply pressure. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Now repeat the same movement, but with your hands on the back of your neck, and push your head back. Hold this position for 10 seconds as well.
2. The swan neck
A classic yoga move, is a simple but effective exercise. Twist your head to the left side and tilt it back slightly. Feel the muscles under your ears. Hold the position for 6 to 8 seconds. Bring your head back to the center and repeat the same movement for the right side.
3. The Smooch
Lift your head and look at the ceiling. Start making kissing motions with your lips. Start sending 20 kisses to the ceiling and rest.
