Face Fat

First, let me say: please don’t resort to harming yourself. I understand how challenging it can feel when you’re not happy with how your face looks. But there are healthy ways to approach this, and a lot more goes into how we perceive our own faces than we might realize.

1. Understand Your Unique Look

Your face is entirely your own—just like everyone else's. It’s unique. Comparing yourself to filtered images or idealized faces isn’t fair because what you see online often isn’t real. Take time to appreciate your features; the more you look closely, the more you’ll notice things that make you you.

2. Facial Exercises and Expression

While facial exercises like “mewing” (tongue posture that’s said to define the jawline) can help slightly over time, they’re not a quick fix. They’re more about improving posture and muscle tone than drastically changing your face.

• Learn how to posture your head and neck to minimize double chin appearances.
• Experiment with facial expressions and poses in front of a mirror. A good pose can redefine how you see yourself in photos.

3. Lighting, Posture, and Angles

The way you position your head, the angle of others or cameras, and lighting all influence how your face looks in photos and even in person. Play with these variables! Practice taking pictures in different lighting and positions to see how small changes can make a big difference.

4. Skincare Matters

Radiant skin can make more of a difference than bone structure.

• Moisturize regularly.
• Use sunscreen daily.
• Keep your skin hydrated and clean.

Healthy, glowing skin can help you feel confident no matter your face shape or structure.

5. Confidence Is the Real Game-Changer

How you feel inside shows on the outside. When you feel good about yourself, it changes how others perceive you. A genuine smile, a relaxed expression, and self-assurance can be more impactful than any facial feature.

6. Nutrition and Lifestyle

Eating well plays a role in your face’s appearance. Focus on a balanced diet and stay hydrated. Avoid crash diets—they can do more harm than good. Instead, aim for overall health, which will naturally reflect in your face.

7. Take Photos and Learn to Love Your Face

Grab your camera and take as many pictures as you want. Over time, you’ll find angles and poses you love. Study them and use them for inspiration. Remember, you’re not aiming to look like someone else—you’re celebrating you.

8. Reach Out for Support

If you need more advice, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ve been there, too. I used to see my own face as “chubby” and struggled with accepting it. But I’ve learned how to work with my features and embrace what makes me, me. Some people might still not find my look attractive, but honestly? My opinion comes first.
