What causes a double chin or neck fat?
The main cause of the double chin is obesity or aging. But in some cases, the weakness and inactivation of platysma muscles also cause neck fat or a double chin.
The platysma muscle is a thin sheet-like muscle that extends from just over the mandible down to the upper chest. The platysma muscles pull the corners of our mouths down, raise the skin of the chest, and wrinkle the neck horizontally.
When platysma muscles become weak our skin becomes loose, which causes double chin and neck fat.
Is it possible to lose neck fat?

If you follow these tips and do exercises that I will tell you next then you will definitely get rid of a double chin or neck fat.
9 tips on how to get rid of neck fat
Most people think that surgery is the only way to get rid of neck fat or double chin. Not this is not true. There are many non-surgical strategies to get rid of neck fat, from which, I will share 9 strategies with you in this article.
1: Correct your sitting posture

Actually, neck fat or double chins are not only affected by our weight gain. Our bad sitting posture when we are doing some work also causes the double chin, that we all try to hide in selfies.
When we are sitting with our head too low, it causes the weakness of our facial muscles as a result our skin loses its elasticity which contributes to creating a double chin.
So, you should improve your posture by sitting with your back straight. And place your laptop or PC’s screen at your eye level so that you won’t need to lower your head to work.
2: Use a face mask

Use a face mask that is made of natural ingredients (like eggs, glycerin, honey, and green tea) to regain your skin’s elasticity and stay moisturized.
Milk is also highly nutritious and has an anti-aging effect. You can also use it in a mask with honey to tone up and tighten your skin and lose fat and toxins from your skin.
When we use a face mask it stretches our face’s skin due to which our skin regains elasticity and it also tone-up and tightens our skin.
Before using a face mask make sure that its ingredients are compatible with your skin. Otherwise, it may burn your skin or also can cause pimples on your face.
3: Lose your body weight

Overall weight loss is a very effective step to losing neck fat. Now I am not saying that you have to lose weight in one night. But if you decrease your daily calorie intake only by 500 calories will result in about 0.5kg of weight loss per week.
Over time, this consistent weight loss will result in less fat overall in your body, including neck and face fat. It also improves your health.
You can also do some cardio exercises (like swimming, running, biking, and fast walking) if you have free time, it helps you to burn calories and achieve a daily calorie deficit.
4: Eat a healthy diet

For soft, and elastic skin, eating vegetables and fruits is very important. Including vegetables and fruits in your diet can help you to reduce your body fat.
When you lose weight overall fat in your body decreases as a result your neck fat also reduces along with it.
You should also add some lean proteins to your diet. Some examples of lean proteins include low-fat dairy, eggs, poultry, nuts, seafood white-fleshed fish, plain Greek yogurt, beans, peas, and lentils.
5: Smile more

Smiling not only makes any face more beautiful, but it’s a way to exercise facial muscles. It will help with the elasticity of the skin and the reduction of neck fat. Smiling also helps with decreasing the fat on your cheeks.
Besides this, there are many benefits of smiling. Like when we smile we release positive vibes, as a result, the people in our surroundings feel happy and they like to live with us.
Smiling is a very important part of communication skills. That’s why Dale Carnegie in his book “How to Win Friends And Influence People” advises us to always bear a smile on our face.
6: Drink more water

Water is a very important substance in our bodies. Water loss in our body decreases fluid retention and reduces facial puffiness which causes neck fat and double chine.
A study from a trusted source posted to the journal Obesity found that people who drank water before meals lost more weight than those who did not.
Besides this, water also improves your mental health. So, you should drink at least two liters of water a day, or more.
7: Reduce sugar and sodium intake

All of us know that sugar plays an important role in our weight gain. But how sodium intake affects our body.
Sodium is very important for our body to regulate our blood pressure, and it also supports electrical impulses.
Our kidneys work hard to balance the amount of sodium, potassium and water in our body. Table salt is made up of sodium and chloride. The excess use of table salt also increases sodium levels in our bodies.
As a result, our body retains more water to balance the amount of sodium and potassium which increases our body weight. So, reduce the amount of sodium and sugar intake, and drink more water.
8: Use sunscreen

Sunlight plays an important role in speeding up facial aging and the appearance of wrinkles. Due to sunlight, skin can start to lose its elasticity which can lead to the appearance of extra or saggy skin that may contribute to a double chin.
Doctors recommend using sunscreen daily with SPF 30 or higher depending on the sensitivity and the colour of your skin. Sun cream also helps tighten, sagging and ageing skin.
9: Do exercise

The above tips are very beneficial but we cannot neglect the importance of exercise. Regular exercise of the neck muscles can help us to reduce neck fat fast.
Due to this reason I have shared some exercises with you in this article. These exercises also improve blood circulation in our neck area.
