Your face shape may seem entirely out of your control. After all, you can't change your bone structure without invasive cosmetic surgery, nor can you spot-reduce unwanted facial fat with a healthy lifestyle. But it turns out that minimally invasive facial reshaping is entirely possible, thanks to modern injectables.
The shape of the face is the result of bone structure and genetics. Both are hard to change. However, rest assured, there are ways to alter the face a little, sharpen those features and look glamorous.
Facial fat is caused by weight gain. The reason behind excess face fat is poor diet, lack of exercise, aging, or genetic conditions. Fat is usually more visible in the cheeks, jowls, under the chin, and neck. Facial fat tends to be more noticeable in people with rounded, less-pronounced facial features.
Sure, we know beautiful people with square-shaped face, round face, and so on. But the heart shape, otherwise more commonly known as a V-shaped face, has been scientifically proven to be the most visually attractive face shape to have.
Exercising the neck, chin, jaw, and other facial muscles can lead to subtle changes in your face, including sharper cheekbones and a more prominent jawline. One study found that performing regular facial exercises over the course of 20 weeks led to fuller cheeks and a more youthful appearance.
Running and exercise itself won't age your skin. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it can actually help to exercise most days of the week.
Getting fit not only makes you look sexy, it also makes you feel sexy by balancing the body's sex hormone levels, which in turn can improve the appearance of hair, skin and muscle tone.
Sweat does have some positive benefits to your skin. It moisturizes and cools the skin. Regular exercise and normal sweat production have been shown to have anti-aging effects. Additionally, it even helps kill harmful bacteria on your skin's surface.
ROUND. The round face shape is characterized by a wide hairline and fullness below the cheekbones. These face shapes look great with longer hair that lengthens the face. Long layers are the most flattering for this face shape, where short layers can accentuate the roundness of the face.
A person's facial muscles and overall bone structure can also play a small part in forming a puffy face or chubby jowls. Faces can appear fuller when the masseter muscles between the jaw and cheeks are overdeveloped, Cruise says. But generally speaking, weight gain in the face is caused by weight gain overall.
The haircuts and styles that look good on a round chubby face are sleek straight hair with a side parting, side fringes with feathered waves, and a bob cut with a side fringe. You need cuts and styles that help you give the illusion of cutting down the roundness and making your face look a little longer instead.
For wispy bangs, make sure the fringe is shorter in the middle and longer on the edges to create a slimming look. “Layers that are cut around your face can balance the weight of your hair in comparison to your face and give you an elongated look,” Tricomi told us.
Choppy, textured haircuts like the shag are a classic option for round faces. That is because they draw attention away from the jawline and widest part of the face. By adding bangs, you can also cover up a broad forehead, which is also a feature of round face shapes.
The best strategy, dermatologists say, is to exercise in a cool environment. "One of the best choices is swimming, since the water keeps skin cool even when you build up body temperature," Marmur told WebMD. (Be sure to moisturize your skin afterward, however, since chlorine has a drying effect.)
# 56: Running can actually improve your looks in many ways. You will get back in shape. Your complexion will improve and you are less likely to face problems like acne or pimples. A more upright posture will also add to your appearance.
