5 Ways to Reduce Face Fat

Maybe you don’t want such a full face or feel you’ve got chubby cheeks. You should always embrace the looks you were born with because confidence is the best attractiveness boost. That being said, there are ways you can naturally make your face look slimmer.

1.Get rid of overall body fat

  If you want your face to look less fat, you need to lose fat overall. Spot reduction of fat is not possible to accomplish with diet alone. Eat fewer calories throughout the day, so that your body will use up fat as stored energy. If you do that, you will lose weight in the face too.

• Luckily, if you want a slimmer face, your body goes after the fat first in the neck, jaw and face. So if you cut down on calories but do it in a healthy manner, you should have a less full face in no time.
• You need to create a caloric deficit. It takes about 3,500 calories burned to lose a single pound. You will burn some calories every day just by living and breathing. You need to burn more than you take in to lose weight. Effective weight loss occurs gradually.
• Cutting calories in a healthy manner means eliminating some calories  say 500 a day, through diet or exercise – without completely depriving your body of food. Instead, make healthier food choices or start slow, say by eliminating that morning doughnut from your diet. Not eating at all is medically unsafe. It also could put your body in starvation mode, which will actually reduce your metabolism and make it harder to lose weight.

2. Drink a lot of water to keep the body fully hydrated 

There are many reasons that it’s a good idea to drink a lot of water throughout the day, but one of them is that it will reduce bloating in your face.

• The reason water helps reduce face fat is because it flushes toxins out of your body. Thus, it also increases your overall health. It will also improve the look of your skin and hair.
• Drinking cold water will burn extra calories. Drinking 64 ounces of water per day is a good target to strive for. Keeping the body constantly hydrated will make you feel better, and it should make your face look more slender over time. 

3. Eat the right foods for a healthier diet

  A diet that is low in processed foods and refined flour (like white bread and pasta) will be healthier for you. Instead, try to eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits, foods with fiber, fish, and other protein rich foods.

• Try not to eat food with a lot of salt (avoid junk food as it’s loaded with salt). Salt encourages your body to retain more water, so it will bloat your face. Sugar is also linked to a fatter face. Processed carbs with a lot of sugar in them are going to cause face bloat. 
• Although people who are underage should not drink alcohol, another negative side effect of alcohol is that it causes the face to bloat by dehydrating the body. Some good food choices include almonds, broccoli, spinach, and salmon. 

4. Determine whether you have food intolerance

 Sometimes food allergies or intolerance are to blame for a fuller face. See a doctor if you think you might have one.

• As an example, some people have sensitivity to gluten and would benefit from eating gluten-free foods. Many restaurants and grocery stores are including gluten-free options these days.
• Some people with irritable bowel syndrome sometimes think their faces are fuller as a result. Gastrointestinal disorders are fairly common, affecting about 15 percent of adults.
• It’s also possible that hormones are causing your face to look fuller, such as PMS (or in older women, peri-menopause).

5. Try toning your face with facial exercises

  You can exercise your face to make it look slimmer. This works by strengthening facial muscles, reducing saggy skin in the face.

• Try the cheek puff exercise. Simply take a deep breath and hold the air in your cheeks. Then push it to the other cheek. Do this several times throughout the day.
• A smile exercise that tightens the cheeks and mouth is to smile and clench your teeth for a few seconds. Don’t squint your eyes. Then pucker your lips. Repeat. Do this on one side, and then switch sides.
• Pucker your lips for five seconds. Hold the pucker on the right, then switch to the left side of your face. If you have an expressive face and use your facial muscles a lot , even just by smiling and laughing a lot – your face will look more slender.

6. Try creative options for slimming the face 

From blowing balloons to hot towel treatments, there are many ideas out there that are said to slim the face.

• Blowing balloons will tone your cheeks because it exercises the muscles in them. Just blow a balloon and release the air in it, and do this 10 times. You should notice a difference in 5 days.
• Try putting hot towels on your face because some believe steam can help you reduce cheek fat. The face will sweat and release some fat stored in your face. Just put the towel into warm water, and then apply it to your face. Some think steam can help slim your face by removing toxins from it.
• Chew sugar-free gum for at least 20 minutes twice a day. This actually works as a facial exercise that will cut calories and tone your face. You could also try a facial massage using ginseng or wheat germ oil to stimulate blood circulation in the face. Start at your chin, moving upwards in a circular motion with your palms.

7. Master the art of contouring

  Many Hollywood stars use contouring to alter the shape of their faces, such as creating stronger cheekbones or slimmer noses.

• To slim the nose, take a darker powder than your skin tone, and apply a thin line of it on each side of your nose. Then, use a brush to blend it along each edge. Use a highlighter to apply it above the eyebrows, and draw a line with it down the center of your nose. Blend it into your skin with a brush.
• To contour the face, take a contouring powder, also darker than your skin tone, and draw it on your cheeks, angling down your cheeks. Smudge it in so it doesn't look like a harsh line. Use powder that is two shades darker than your skin. Contouring allows you to alter the shape and lines of your face.

8. Choose the hairstyle that makes your face look most slender

 Not all hairstyles are created equal. Depending on your face shape, a hairstyle can make your face look rounder or slimmer.

• If your hair is long, don’t grow it past your chest, and have a hairstylist create some soft layers to frame your face.
• You want to create some curves in the hair around the face by the cheekbones and eyes, avoiding straight lines in the hair. Bangs will probably make your face look fuller if they are cut straight across.
• You should avoid blunt cut bobs and instead go for a longer shaggier look with layers. Pulling the hair straight back will make your face look rounder by showcasing your temple. A high vertical bun gives the illusion of a slimmer and longer face.
