Description:
Chubby cheeks are cute on a baby, but if you long for a more chiseled, mature look, lifestyle changes might help. Genetics largely determine the shape of your face, but if you're carrying extra pounds, slimming down your whole body may also reveal a more slender face. You can't specifically lose weight from your face, but lowering your overall body fat will mean you lose fat from your face, too. A quality diet, exercise, hydration and skin care all help your face look its best.
Why You Can't Target Face Fat
Your body stores fat in cells throughout your body. When you burn fat through diet and exercise, your body must first convert the stored fat to usable energy through a complex chemical process. From which cells it mobilizes fat is genetically determined. You can't guarantee when you lose weight that you'll shrink the parts of your body you consider as a "problem."
Your face may look overly full if you're carrying a little extra -- or a round face could also be due to your bone structure or the shape of your salivary glands. As you age, you may also notice that your face's fat shifts downward, into your jowls and chin. This is due to the natural loss of collagen, which provides skin firmness and perkiness in your youth. Changing your age or your genetics just isn't possible, but changing your weight can still slim down your face.
The advantage of carrying some fat in your face is that your wrinkles will be less apparent. However, no one relishes the idea of having a chubby face after the age of three. Losing weight from your face will require overall weight loss. In addition, doing facial exercises can help contour your face.
Classic strategies of cutting calories and moving more helps slim down your face, as well as other excess fat stored in your body. Figure approximately how many calories you burn daily by using an online calculator that figures in your size, age, gender and activity level. Then, create a 500- to 1,000-calorie deficit by eating less and choosing smaller portions to yield a 1 to 2 pound per week loss.
You might desire faster loss, but cutting calories too drastically can backfire. If you eat fewer than 1,200 as a woman or 1,800 daily as a man, you'll stall your metabolism, which only makes weight loss harder. Crash dieting can also make your facial skin sag, turning plump fat into droopy wrinkles. Your skin has stretched around any excess fat in the face; when you lose weight too quickly, your skin doesn't have enough time to gradually shrink back.
