A chiseled jaw can make the man. If you weren’t born with pristine genetics, there are a couple of hacks to utilize to get a jawline like never before.

How to Get a Chiseled Jawline

There’s no tried-and-true method for getting the perfect jawline. Some practices may work for some men and prove futile for others. However, all of the below methods are worth a shot.

1. Do Jaw Exercises

Your jaw has muscles like your arms and legs. You can work them out to get stronger features.

Chin Lifts

• Close your mouth
• Push your lower jaw out
• Lift your lower lip
• Hold that position for 10 to 15 seconds before relaxing

Tongue Twisters

• Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your teeth
• Press your tongue to close the roof of your mouth and increase tension
• Start humming to make a vibrating noise

2. Get a Haircut That Fits Your Face Shape

Sometimes you don’t need to work the muscles. You just need the right haircut that better shows off your features. That goes with lining up your beard properly, too. 

3. Massage Your Face

Massages are a great way of increasing circulation. For an added bonus, massage your face with essential oil to give your skin some much-needed nutrients, too. 

4. Stay Hydrated by Consistently Drinking Water

Water flushes toxins out of your body. You won’t be as flush or plump if you consistently drink water. This gives you a more toned face.

5. Trim Body Fat

Ideally, you should exercise three to four times a week. Even moderate exercise like jogging or light weightlifting can trim the fat and give you more defined features. 

6. Chew Hard Gum

Chewing gum is a great way to work out your jaw muscles. It sharpens the area due to consistent movement, and you can have a ton of fun with it in the process.

7. Use Less Salt in Your Food

Salt leads to water retention. This makes your face appear fuller, so cut back on salt found in snacks and processed foods if you want to look slimmer.

8. Make a Fish Face

This is another exercise to work out the muscles around your jaw. People may make fun of fish poses for photos, but doing them during your off-hours can really work wonders. Just hold the post for eight seconds at a time. 

9. Smile Often Throughout the Day

Smiling helps tone your facial muscles. It extends your cheekbones, thereby stretching your other facial muscles in the process.

10. Do Facial Massages

If regular massages don’t do anything, try rubbing an ice cube across your face. It tightens the skin and your pores.

11. Rest Your Tongue on the Roof of Your Mouth

This is ideally where your tongue should be located at all times. It works out the muscles and can lead to better breathing as you’re asleep.

12. Reduce Carbs in Your Diet

A low-carb diet can cut down on puffiness around the face. That means less bread, dessert, pasta, and soda.

13. Get 8 Hours of Sleep Per Night

Insufficient sleep can make you appear puffy. Rest adequately each night, getting between 7.5 and 8 hours of sleep, to be more alert and look better.

14. Stimulate Collagen Production

Collagen keeps your skin elastic. As you age, you begin to lose collagen, but you can get more via certain moisturizers and cleansers.

15. Grow a Beard (If You Can)

If all else fails, grow a beard. It hides your jawline and can make you look more rugged. In the event you can only grow a patchy beard, look into supplements to fill it out.

How to Keep a Sharp Jawline With a Beard

Growing a beard is only part of the equation when it comes to maintaining a good jawline. You also want to maintain it appropriately through regular trimming. There are many ways to have a great chin; you just need to know how you look best and take steps to attain that look.
