How to Get a Stronger and Better Jawline

Not everyone is genetically blessed with the perfect facial features or physicality that the opposite sex finds attractive. This is especially true for the jawline.

Luckily, there are a few ways to work around a less than perfect bone structure—namely, jawline exercises.

Keep reading to learn more about how to get a better jawline. 

What Is the Jawline and Why Is it Important?

Your jawline is defined by your lower jaw and the outline it forms towards the bottom of your face. It’s also one of the many signs of attraction in both sexes, but especially among men.

According to various studies, masculine facial features are much more attractive to women overall. Those facial features would include narrow eyes, a prominent chin, and a strong jawline. The underlying reason is that strong, masculine, physical traits are attributed to high testosterone levels and a healthy immune system.

On subconscious, biological, and a more primitive level, women are naturally attracted to all of the above.

Aside from physical attraction, the jawline is also an indicator of health and vitality. Someone in peak physical condition will have a more visible jawline than someone who is overweight.

While having a “strong jawline” doesn’t necessarily equate to perfect internal health, it’s easy to tell by looking at someone’s face whether or not they take good care of themselves. In the same sense, a weak jawline also doesn’t equate to poor health.

A weak jawline refers to soft, rounded angles and a lack of definition along your lower jaw area. It’s also sometimes referred to as a “receding chin,” if your chin seems to curve back towards your neck. Just as a weak jawline doesn’t represent poor health, it also doesn’t necessarily reflect a toned, in-shape physique for some.

If you have a weak jawline that doesn’t reflect the rest of your chiselled physique, there are ways around it. The most non-invasive way is by performing facial exercises to build up the muscles in your face for more definition. Facial exercises are perfectly safe and effective, especially in combination with a healthy lifestyle.

How Jawline Exercises Can Help Your Jawline

Did you know you have about 57 muscles in your face and neck?

While you focus on exercising the rest of your muscles from the next down, you’re leaving out quite a few that can help you achieve a nice, healthy jawline. Additionally, since your facial muscles are much smaller, they’ll respond quickly to exercise. That means you won’t have to wait as long to see results compared to trying to get washboard abs.

By incorporating facial exercises, not just jawline exercises, you’ll shed fat from your face and tone your muscles. This can make your jawline more prominent and enhance your cheekbones. It’ll also improve circulation, reduce tension, and give your face a more relaxed look.

However, it’s important to mention that you’ll only get so far without regular healthy eating habits and exercise. Facial exercises alone won’t help you get rid of excess fat. So, if you don’t already engage in routine exercise and healthy choices, it’s time to start. 

Exercises to Get a Stronger Jawline

If you want to know how to get a sharper jawline, the following exercises will get you started. Do these every morning when you wake up, and you’ll see results in no time:

1. The Chin Lift

Looking straight ahead and keeping your mouth closed, push your lower jaw out while simultaneously lifting your lower lip. You’ll feel a stretch in your jawline just below your chin.

Hold this position for 10-15 seconds. Repeat 15 times.

2. The Tongue Twister

Standing or sitting upright and facing forward, press your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Increase the pressure to add tension and begin making a humming sound. Hold for one deep breath.

Repeat this exercise 15 times.

3. The Collarbone Backup

While standing upright and keeping your head parallel to the floor, try to move your head back a few inches. Once you feel your neck contract, hold the position for 15 seconds.

Repeat this exercise 10 times, gradually working your way up to a 30-second hold.

4. The Neck Curl

Lay on your back with your tongue pressed to the roof of your mouth. You’ll feel your neck muscle activate, and then you can begin lifting your chin to your chest. Carry out this exercise slowly, lifting your head from the ground about 2 inches first.

Start by doing this exercise 10 times, gradually building up to 3 sets of 10 reps. Remember to take your time with this exercise as your neck muscles are small and likely underdeveloped. 

5. The Vowel Sound

Facing forward, open your mouth as wide as possible. Begin articulating “O” and “E” sounds, trying your best not to show or touch your teeth. The more you emphasize the sounds, the more you’ll engage the muscles around your mouth and lips.

Repeat this exercise 15 times, gradually working your way up to doing 3 sets.
