1. The Ladle
Remedy Daily
Kick off your chin exercises with this simple workout. Open your mouth wide, bend your lower lip inward, and close your mouth as you pull your jaw forward. Each step should be deliberate and slow so that the chin muscles are properly engaged in the exercise. Allow the muscles to relax before moving on to the next workout. Loosen the jaw by gently opening and closing your mouth.
2. “Kiss” Ceiling

This exercise is exactly what it sounds like. Tilt your head upward and extend your lips into a kissing motion. While the method is simple, it works the neck muscles to help tighten and tone.
3. Touch the Nose

The “touch your nose” exercise is effective in extending the chin muscles. Do this by sticking out your tongue and trying to touch your nose. Place a finger under your chin so you can feel the muscles extend and flatten in this position.
4. Resistance
