🦢 Face Yoga for a Double Chin
Updated September 2026
The honest take: Exercises tone the platysma and mylohyoid muscles and improve head posture, which changes how the under-chin area sits and photographs. They can't spot-burn fat there — overall habits do that — but the posture and tone difference is real and shows first in profile photos.
