How to Disguise Jowls
Posted By Angelina Drennan on September 10, 2010
Have you looked into the mirror only to discover that your face has begun to slip and slide in a downward direction and there’s skin hanging and dangling along your jaw? Well, that, according to Webster’s dictionary is the definition of a jowl.
You do not have to be overweight to see the slackening signs of age on your face; this slackening is due to atrophied facial muscles that pool into other muscles and muscle groups. Interestingly, the facial skin is attached directly to the facial muscles so when your facial muscles begin to lose their tone and vitality, you will notice that your skin begins to behave differently. You may begin to look drawn, tired, and somewhat haggard.
The resemblance to an older family member might become apparent as you wonder just how in the world Aunt Hilda’s jowls came to live on your face. This type of aging is not hereditary; if you are over the age of twenty-five, your once-tight facial muscles are beginning to battle with Mother Nature. If you see jowls, you might also be saddened to see sagging eyelids and cheeks that no longer portray apples when you smile.
By now you have probably realized that jowls cannot be disguised using makeup or skincare items. No matter how sophisticated a product sounds or how promising the claims, jowls, pouches, the dreaded wattle, and more are real signs of aging that need more than just topical applications. To rid your face of jowls and pouches, double chins, droopy foreheads, etc., requires deep-muscle treatments using specialized facial exercises.
Of course, there are invasive modalities offered by some physicians that may have you running scared, and you should! Cutting perfectly healthy tissue or injecting chemicals into areas that can easily affect the brain is not the easy answer to aging. If you opt for these types of unnatural fixes, you may find that the cookie-cutter norm does not suit you. At first glance, you may look unrecognizable to your friends, family, and coworkers and there is no camouflaging face work of this type.
