Do you have double chin?

The reason most people worry about face fat is because you can still dress up to hide the bulges in your body but you cannot hide face fat (unless you know make up tricks that can do the trick). You may spend hours in the gym trying to lose body fat but when your selfie shows that ugly double chin, it feels like all your hard work went in vain. While where your body holds excess fat depends on your genetics and body type, there are some facial exercises that can help you get sculpted cheekbones.
