Step
Part 1 of 3: Changing Your Diet
Step 1. Work on reducing body fat
One way to make the face look slim is to reduce fat all over the body. However, fat in certain body parts can not be removed only by dieting. Reduce daily calorie intake so that the body uses fat tissue to produce energy. This method is able to lose weight so that the face becomes thin.
- Good news for those of you who want to slim your face, the first body parts to experience fat reduction are the neck, jaw, and face. A round face will become thin in no time if the calorie intake is reduced in the right way.
- Reduce calorie intake. You must use approximately 3,500 calories to lose 0.5 kg of weight. Calorie burning occurs during daily activities and breathing, but to lose weight, you must use more calories. Weight should be reduced gradually for the results to be more effective.
- One of the best ways to burn calories, for example 500 calories per day, is by dieting or exercising, but the body never lacks food intake. For that, start a diet by eating a healthy menu or reducing food intake little by little, for example by eliminating donuts from the breakfast menu. Medically, dieting by fasting is not a safe way to lose weight. In addition, hunger will interfere with the body's metabolism so that you have difficulty losing weight.
Step 2. Drink water as needed to keep the body hydrated
We need to drink water as needed for various reasons and one of them is to shrink the swollen face.
- Water is useful for reducing facial fat by removing toxins from the body. In addition to improving the health of the body, skin and hair become healthier and more beautiful.
- The number of calories burned is more if you drink cold water. Get in the habit of drinking 1.8-2 liters of water per day to keep the body hydrated so that you always feel comfortable and make your face thinner over time.
Step 3. Adopt a healthy diet by eating nutritious foods
You will be healthier if you reduce your consumption of cooked foods and processed wheat flour (eg white bread and pasta). Instead, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, fibrous foods, fish, and other foods that are high in protein.
- Avoid foods that contain a lot of salt, such as non-nutritive foods that are sprinkled with salt. Consumption of salt makes the body retain fluids so that the face swells. As with sugar, the face will swell if you eat carbohydrates with lots of sugar.
- Do not drink alcohol because in addition to having a negative impact on health, alcohol makes the body dehydrated so that the face swells. Eat nutritious foods, such as almonds, broccoli, spinach, and salmon.
Step 4. Find out if you are allergic to certain foods
Food allergies or intolerances can cause a puffy face. Consult a doctor to find out which food ingredients trigger allergies.
- For example, some people experience allergies when they eat gluten. So, it's safer if you don't eat gluten-free foods. Many restaurants and grocery stores provide gluten-free ingredients.
- People who experience constipation argue that these complaints cause the face to swell. Indigestion is common and affects 15% of adults.
- In women, hormones can make the face look rounder, for example due to premenstrual or postmenopausal syndrome (in older women).
Part 2 of 3: Exercising and Using Slimming Tricks
Step 1. Change the shape of your face by exercising your facial muscles
The face will look thinner if it is trained, for example by strengthening facial muscles to tighten sagging skin.
- Do the exercise to puff out your cheeks by taking a deep breath and then puffing out your cheeks while closing your lips. Then, puff out one cheek in turn. Do this exercise several times a day.
- Practice tightening your cheek and lip muscles by smiling and clenching your teeth for a few seconds and then pouting your lips without squinting. Do this exercise repeatedly.
- Curl your lips, point to the right and hold for 5 seconds. Then, do the same to the left. Your face will look thinner if you smile and laugh often if your face is quite expressive and uses facial muscles a lot.
Step 2. Exercise to increase the body's metabolism
In addition to improving the health of the body, changes are also seen in the face if you exercise regularly.
- Start exercising 3-5 days a week with a 30-minute walk or aerobic exercise program. Whatever exercise you choose, exercise can increase metabolism, reduce body fat, and tone your face.
- Don't assume that you can eat non-nutritive food because you've been exercising. While exercise can help you strengthen your body and improve your health, dieting is the best way to lose weight.
Step 3. Get enough sleep so that the face becomes thin
You have to get enough sleep to stay healthy. Various studies show a correlation between sleep deprivation and weight gain.
- Fatigue makes the body swell and the facial muscles sag so that the face looks bigger than usual.
- As a guide, get into the habit of getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Make a sleep schedule and apply it consistently.
Step 4. Do various creative ways to slim the face
There are various ways that are considered capable of slimming the face, such as blowing a balloon or doing therapy using a warm towel.
- Blowing balloons is useful for training the cheek muscles so that the cheeks become firmer. Inflate the balloon and then release the air. Do it 10 times. On the fifth day, you will see changes in your face if you practice every day for 5 days.
- Compress your face with a warm towel. This method is believed to be able to reduce fat on the cheeks because it makes the face sweat so that facial fat is reduced. Dip a towel in warm water and use it to compress your face. There are also those who argue that warm steam is able to thin the face by removing toxins from the face.
- Chew sugar-free gum for at least 20 minutes a day as a calorie-free and beneficial way of toning facial muscles. In addition, do a facial massage using ginseng or wheat germ oil to improve blood circulation to the face. Apply the oil using your palms starting from the chin up to the cheeks in a circular motion.
Part 3 of 3: Using Beauty Tips to Slim Your Face
Step 1. Apply makeup to make your face look thinner
Make up your face in such a way that it looks thinner with the following tips.
- Dab powdered bronzer in the hollows of your cheeks or on the sides of your nose. Dab rouge on the bulge of the cheeks so that the face does not seem round.
- Draw a line along the cheekbones using powder bronzer and blend it from the ear to the corner of the lips and then apply the rouge on top.
- Choose a bronzer whose color gradation is 2 levels darker than your skin color so that the face shape looks thinner after being spiked with bronzer.
Step 2. Make up the eyes to make them look more attractive
Your face will look thinner if you put more emphasis on eye makeup.
- Thick lips make the face seem round. To fix this, make up your eyes to attract attention by applying mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow. You don't need to apply lip makeup or just apply lip gloss.
- The shape of the eyebrows has a big impact on the shape of the face. Higher and more arched eyebrows make the face look thinner. So that the face does not seem round, ask a makeup artist to help you. Usually, he will pull out the eyebrow hair and shape it according to the face.
Step 3. Learn the art of contouring the face
Many Hollywood artists apply makeup to change their shape by contouring, for example, to make the cheekbones appear more prominent or the nose looks sharper.
- For nose makeup, prepare a powder that is darker than your skin tone and then dab it lightly on the side of your nose. Then, use a large brush to blend it all over the sides of the nose bone. Dab highlighter above the eyebrows up to between the eyebrows and then down past the top of the nose bone. Blend the highlighter using a large brush.
- To contour your face, prepare a powder that is darker than your skin tone and then dab it on your cheeks forming a line near your ear. Blend the powder towards the ear so it doesn't look like a stiff line. Use a powder that is 2 shades darker than your skin tone. Contouring makeup helps you change the shape and outline of your face.
Step 4. Apply makeup to make facial skin brighter
Another way to use makeup to make your face look thinner is to lighten certain parts of your face.
- Prepare facial skin lightening powder. Use a large brush and apply lightening powder on the lower eyelid and at the top of the nose bridge starting from the forehead right between the eyes to the tip of the nose.
- The application of facial brightening techniques must be combined with the use of bronzing powder or facial contouring. There is an opinion that says that the face will appear thinner because of the difference in skin color as a result of using bronzing powder.
Step 5. Style your hair with a model that makes your face look thinner
Each hairstyle gives a different impression. Depending on the shape of the face, certain hairstyles make the face appear rounder or thinner.
- If you have long hair, ask your stylist to cut your hair in layers with the inner layers longer than the soft layers to make your face look thinner.
- Style your hair so that it curls around your cheekbones and eyes. Do not style hair with a model that forms a straight line. Flat bangs make the face look rounder.
- Don't go for a bob that makes your head look like a ball. Instead, opt for a long, shaggy hairstyle with layers. If the hair is pulled back or in a ponytail, the face looks rounder because the temples and forehead are exposed. To make your face look thinner and longer, tie your hair up and make a bun at the top of your head.
Step 6. Don't choose the plastic surgery option
This method is very risky and makes the face look unnatural. However, many elderly people choose this method to get rid of facial fat.
- Liposuction or skin tightening therapy can remove excess fat or tighten the skin. Another way to change the shape of the face is to have implants in the cheeks.
- Consider carefully before choosing this option. Learn to accept yourself as you are and get used to looking natural. In various media, there are many stories about people living life in disappointment after undergoing plastic surgery. Use natural ways to slim your face, for example by doing various makeup tricks or even better if you adopt a healthy diet. Plastic surgery is high risk and costs a lot of money.
