4. Exercises to firm your jowl

These simple exercises will help you achieve a younger looking, more firm neckline. Keep in mind that in these areas of your body, the skin is firmly attached to the muscle structure, meaning that if you are able to tone and firm those muscles, your skin will follow suit. The key is to be consistent, and here’s how:

• The first exercise is simple: draw circles clock-wise with the tip of your tongue along your upper palate. Keep your spine straight and your mouth closed. This exercise targets the jowl. Repeat three times a day in increments of ten circles.
• Vocal vowel exercises are also important, and can be fun.Pronounce, by using exaggerated movements, all the vowels. You don’t need to scream, just form the vowels silently with your throat and mouth. Repeat in increments of 10 daily. This is the perfect exercise to target your vocal cord muscles at the base of your neck.
• Throw a few smiles into your exercise routine and see the benefits. Form an inverted smile while tensing your neck muscles as much as possible. Perfect! Repeat in increments of 10, and remember to be consistent.
