5/5 - (4 votes)

Have all your selfies sprouted second chins lately? I might be because your skin loses collagen and elasticity which causes the appearance of a double chin.  We tend to believe that it only concerns obese people but it can happen to anyone especially because of heredity or some bad habits. It is said that factors like sun exposure, smoking and poor diet can increase the risks of having a double chin. Then, losing weight is not always the answer but you can  try exercises designed to help return your neck to its former glory. Neck and chin toning can also be achieved without surgery by using natural remedies. If you try these tips regularly, you might be able to see the result over time.
