Hold your head up high - the chin is your key to beauty

Hold your head up high. it's more than just a saying, it's a beauty secret -- one that most photographers like myself already know. Sucking in your chin and holding it up is and easy way to take pounds -- and years -- off your face, according to this article from The Daily Mail.

And just as exercise helps your body become taut and slim, exercises for your face can help slim the chin. Says facial fitness expert Eva Fraser: "By exercising certain muscles in the face for ten to 15 minutes, several times a week you can maintain, or even recreate, a good jawline. There's no magic wand, but as long as you have the discipline and patience to maintain it, this method is far more effective than any facelift."

Complimentary haircut and make-up will also do wonders for your chin. Share your beauty tips in the comments below. And check out the gallery below for clothing that will slim your shape.

Liz, If you're going to talk about literacy, maybe you should start spelling out the full length of words.
Hence, "u" is "you" and "r" is "are".
I never understood why people shortened words like that when it's just shortening them by two letters from three.

I so agree with the writer. I wish I had a good chin. I have a weak chin and wish it was stronger. I have lost a lot of weight recently in a healthy fashion and have great skin tone and feel fabulous about myself but wish I had a stronger more defined chin. I also wish I had better eyebrows.. I think thick strong eyebrows make you look younger!!

I am a mother of 3 young girls, I want them to embrace their curves and be healthy and I have changed my eating habits drastically over the last few years. I have wasted too much of my life being obese and unhealthy.

I strive to eat healthy and lead by example. I eat flax every morning. I have the same breakfast now every day. I recently lost 30 pounds following the weight watchers program
http://www.weightwatchers.com and I now just am more watchful every day of what I eat. I have a
banana low fat yogurt with golden roasted flax for breakfast every day. It is filling, keeps me regular and tastes fabulous. My Weight Watchers leader recommended fitflax to me and it definitely helped the last 10 pounds to melt off. It is a flax and chia blend and I think I read about it in O mag. They also listed a code to get 10% off. The site is http://www.smartthingz.com and the code for 10% off is HAPPY10
