You can hide your belly fat with lose-fitting clothes, but what about your double chin and chubby cheeks? A double chin, also known as submental fat, is a layer of fat formed below your chin. Most of us spend hours in the gym trying to lose body fat but often ignore the ugly double chin. A double chin is often associated with weight gain, but the truth is you don't have to be overweight to get a double chin. Genetics or looser skin resulting from aging may also give you a double chin.

Thankfully, there are some facial exercises that target the fat under the chin and neck. So, what are you waiting for? Start doing these exercises from now to get sculpted cheekbones.
