If you have a thin body but a fat face and you try to do exercises to lose facial fat the wrong way, it can cause a lot of problems to your health.

You can get dark circles and sunken eyes

The appearance of dark circles around your eyes or the appearance of sunken eyes can be directly related to trying to lose facial fat the wrong way. It can also make your skin look old, tired and worn out. Much of this can be caused by the decrease in elasticity of your skin.

The gym will not help you lose facial fat

You can be running on the treadmill at the gym for hours or doing any other cardio exercise and you won’t lose any face fat. Have you ever talked to other people about your face fat problems, and the only answer you ever get from them is to work out more, lose a bit of weight by doing cardio exercise? Ask your fitness trainer and all he or she will tell you is that cardio exercises would help you lose your chubby cheeks and double chin. This is Wrong!

Face fat isn’t the same as body fat

If face fat and body fat are connected and the same, then wouldn’t all skinny people have toned and well sculpted faces? There are two types of fitness, one is the regular body fitness and the other is face fitness. If you’re like most people you probably don’t know what face fitness is all about and thus facial fat is misunderstood. There’s a good chance you don’t know why you have fat cheeks or a double chin but somehow you’re body is not fat.

Chubby cheeks and double chins may affect people who are thin or average

The reality is that a lot of people who are skinny or of average weight may suffer from chubby cheeks and double chins. This is because face fat is different to body fat. And facial fat can be caused by among other things such as water retention as well as a variety of things like your diet and lifestyle.

There is no guarantee you will lose face fat by losing your body fat

Yes it’s true if you have a fat body and a fat face, then the most common sense thing to do is cardiovascular exercises to burn that fat off. However, this does not guarantee that you will lose facial fat. In fact your face may stay the same, while you’re body becomes thinner.

What you should do

There is a way to lose facial fat, and that is facial exercises and having the right diet. This does not require you to starve yourself, or do extreme and heavy cardio exercises it only requires you to put in a little amount of time everyday to do simple facial exercises.
