How to Lose Chubby Cheeks in 10 days

 No matter what people might tell you, the truth is that whenever we meet someone, the face is the first thing we notice and use it to base our judgment on their appearance.

 



In fact, our first impression of beauty is judged based on the structure of the face. A person with high cheekbones, a chiseled jawline and sharp edges make a much better impression than someone with chubby or fat cheeks.

 

Yes, some might say that you look cute in your chubby cheeks, but you know that you would rather be hot and sexy than cute and chubby. Additionally, a chubby face gives you a childish appearance which is highly undesirable.

 

Let’s first look at what are the major causes for chubby cheeks.

 

Why do you have Chubby Cheeks?

 

Genetics: You are genetically configured to have more muted facial features or your body’s fat percentage is higher. It does not mean that you cannot lose face fat but it definitely makes it harder for you.

 

Bodyweight: If you are overweight and have excess fat across your body, there is a strong chance that fat has found its way in the three fat zones near the cheeks: two at the cheekbones and one at the side of the nose called nasolabial compartment.

 

Lack of essential nutrients: Your diet lacks essential nutrients, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Omega-3 Fatty acids, that are essential for maintaining a healthy and tight skin.

 

Excess Sugar and Carbohydrates: Your diet includes an excess amount of sugars and carbohydrates that mostly turns into fat that gets stored on your face.

 

Dehydration or excess salt: Lack of water consumption and excess intake of salt from junk food may lead to water retention and make your face bloated.

 

Lack of sleep: Lack of sleep due to stress or poor sleep habits may slow down metabolism and lead to water retention causing chubby cheeks.

 

Excessive consumption of alcohol or smoking: Excessive intake of alcohol may lead to considerable water retention making your face look larger. Smoking has a direct impact on the health of your skin and may make it look older and plumper than it is supposed to be.

 

So, is there a quick yet effective way to get rid of chubby cheeks and turn into the hot-shot you were supposed to be?

 

The short answer is, yes.

 

Long answer is that while you can easily reduce face fat caused due to poor diet or exercise routines through concentrated efforts, changes to chubby cheeks that are caused by genetic factors (such as bone structures and size of saliva glands) might be limited and difficult to make but you can definitely minimize their effects by maintaining a healthy diet and exercise.

Home Remedies

 

In addition to the above facial exercise, you may also try the following simple home-remedies that will accelerate fat-burning around your face and give you a chiseled and sharp jawline.

 

1. Chew Gum:

 

Exercise your facial muscles and keep them toned by chewing a gum, preferably a sugar-free gum, several times a day over the next 10 days. Chewing Gums also help keep your teeth and gums, so win-win.

 

2. Face Spa:

 

​Another interesting way to expedite burning fat from the face is to give a spa treatment to your face specifically. No, you don’t have to go to a real spa. Just heat some water in a bowl until it is lukewarm and then apply facial steam until your face starts to sweat. The sweat breaks down the fat stored in the facial area and thus makes it easier to burn. Once done, simply clean your face with a towel dipped in the lukewarm water. Target the fatty areas on the face. Repeat this 10 times. It is also a great way to get rid of dust particles and harmful pollutants stuck on your skin as the steam opens up the pores and the wipe with towel cleans any residue on the skin. You can do this every day before going to bed.

 

3. Face masks:

 

To improve the health and liveliness of the skin, you can apply face masks that not only rejuvenate your face but also burn down excess fat. To prepare a face mask, you may use any of the following:

 

  • Cocoa Butter
  • Wheat Germ Oil
  • Glycerine
  • Egg Whites
  • Turmeric and Yoghurt
  • Coconut Oil

 

All of these items are rich in essential nutrients that help improve the overall health of the skin. They keep the skin hydrated and prevent sagging and other aging issues. As the skin gets healthier it fights off fat easily and your face gets a radiant and vibrant look.

 

4. Eat the right food:

 

Another possible reason your face is putting on fat is that it is not receiving the essential nutrients from your diet. Try the following superfoods to boost your skin’s health:

 

  • Lemon and Honey: Lemon is an excellent fat burner and combined with honey it becomes a miracle food. Squeeze a lemon into a glass of warm water and add a spoon of honey to it. Drink it on empty stomach for the next 10 days. The benefits will not only be visible on the face but on the entire body. It is a great toxic cleanser.
  • Almonds: A rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and vitamin B6, almonds are a powerhouse of essential nutrients for the skin. It is a natural moisturiser and improves the elasticity of your skin. Before going to bed, keep 10 almonds in a bowl filled with water and consume the soaked almonds first thing in the morning.
  • Whole Grain Cereals: Refined cereals are rich in sugar and carbohydrates that add excess fat to the body and face. In order to reduce fat, the most important change you can make to your diet is to replace refined cereals with whole grain cereals that are low in fat and high in vitamins and minerals.
  • Melons: A rich source of vitamin C, melons, if available, can be a great way to replace fatty foods in your diet. Melons not only help in flushing toxins and fat from the body but also keep you satiated to prevent you from consuming fatty foods.
  • Dairy products: Dairy products are rich in calcium that prevents water retention and thus reduces chubbiness around the face.
