From social networks, chiseled cheekbones and sunken cheeks literally “jump” at us. It is quite logical that you may want to “lose weight” in this area a little.
And although each of us is beautiful in our own way, we decided to tell you how you can (if you really want to) correct your cheeks at home without resorting to filters and masks on Instagram (The social network is recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation) or radical methods.
To begin with, let’s figure out what exactly can be considered big cheeks because based on this we will choose a way to solve the problem.
Why cheeks grow
First, the problem may be fat. Yes, yes, subcutaneous fat appears in the chin area, and in the lower third of the face, and in the cheekbones … In a word, everywhere …
The main reason is the overall increase in body weight. This is your case if you have always been inclined to be overweight or for some reason gained kilograms.
Lack of movement, unbalanced nutrition, violation of the drinking regimen, and stress can lead to weight gain and, accordingly, chubby cheeks. In this case, you need to revise the diet and include regular cardio training in your schedule. They help burn those extra calories. We also recommend making an appointment with an endocrinologist to exclude or correct hormonal disorders in time.
Secondly, the problem may be in the edema. Go to the doctor to rule out problems with the heart and kidneys, and reduce the intake of salt and alcohol, because this is what most often retains excess fluid in the tissues.
Follow this “diet” for about a couple of weeks and you will notice the result.
Thirdly, do not forget about the force of gravity. A “floated” oval of the face can also ruin your mood, but here both cosmetologists and regular (remember this word!) home care will come to the rescue.
And even bigger cheeks can be your personal innate feature, and then you have three ways: either finally love yourself for who you are, or correct the shape of your face with the help of cosmetics (it’s not for nothing that makeup artists came up with contouring), or sign up for a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Yes, yes, we are talking about liposuction now, and about the very removal of Bish’s lumps, in disputes about which many copies have already been broken. Which path to choose is up to you.
What to do if the matter is not in the structure of the face and health problems are also not diagnosed?
Of course, you can go to a beauty salon or an aesthetic medicine clinic: for laser, radio wave, SMAS lifting, or injections of lipolytics.
But we also offer home remedies. Try them first!
- Normalize food. Remove or at least minimize the consumption of sugar, baked goods (and fast carbohydrates in general), salt, and alcohol. Well, you yourself know everything.
- Take up gymnastics, aerobics, or whatever sport you like. We are not talking about professional sections – just start moving more! On the one hand, it will help burn calories, and on the other hand, it stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. And we remind you that extra pounds and centimeters go everywhere, and not just in one selected area.
Direct impact
- Lymphatic drainage massage. It’s fast and convenient, and there are many videos and pictures on the internet about this topic. Don’t forget that your hands need to slide, so it’s important to apply a sufficient amount of base – oil or cream.
However, be careful! We are talking specifically about light massage, and not about feybuilding / face fitness. The latter technique also has many fans, but it does not have a scientifically based basis, so we cannot recommend it.
- Home care. Now the beauty industry offers us a large number of creams and serums for big cheeks. You just have to choose the tool that is right for you.
- contouring! Only not as hard as in catwalk makeups of five and ten years ago, but light and delicate.
- And finally, a haircut. On the one hand, you can try to “drape” your cheeks with strands, and on the other hand, on the contrary, all pixie options also visually reduce the cheeks and emphasize the cheekbones. Try, experiment!
