We’ve been on the jaw dropping train for YEARS.
As you all know, Lauryn had double jaw surgery a few years ago, and she was keep your jaw in shape Since.
A chiseled jawline is one of the most coveted facial features for achieving a fit and youthful appearance.
But the fact is, not everyone is born with a naturally torn jaw. There are many different factors that can make your face look larger and opposite to its sculpt, and that’s completely normal.
But if you want that super defined jawline, we’re here to help.
Today we’re sharing an overview of ways you can get an absolutely ripped jawline.
How to get a ripped jaw
To achieve the look you want when contouring your jawline, you need to know what you’re looking for. Let’s see what a torn jaw looks like.
What is a torn jaw?
When you’re trying to get a strong jawline, you want to find a way to help your jawline and neck feel taut, well-defined and sculpted. Ideally, you want your jaw line to be razor sharp.
As we age, our jawlines tend to sag and become less defined. This can be due to several different reasons, such as loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin. But ultimately, it’s simply the result of aging. It happens to everyone.
Of course, aging isn’t the only reason someone might want to work on their jawline. Some of us simply have more fat in this area, which can lead to a double chin. This is often the result of genetics. However, there may be other causes of a double chin, so check this message if you want to know more.
So how do we combat the factors that prevent us from having a jaw sharp enough to kill? We have some ideas.
How to lose facial fat
If you want that clean look, you need to tackle volume. Although you cannot reduce fat locally, you can optimize your lifestyle to refine the facial area:
Lower systemic inflammation: Inflammation makes the face rounder and “pasty”.
Managing cortisol: High stress leads to a “moon face.”
Limit alcohol: This is the quickest way to lose your jawline definition overnight.
Optimize your hormones: Hormonal imbalances can lead to specific fat storage around the chin and neck.
Tips for tilting your face
Watch your sodium intake: High salt levels cause the body to retain water, especially in the cheeks and under the chin. By flushing your system with lemon water and dandelion tea, you can see a more defined jawline in as little as 48 hours.
Choose fiber and protein: A diet rich in protein and fiber keeps your insulin stable. When insulin levels are balanced, your body is less likely to store inflammatory fat in the face.
The power of lymphatic drainage: Sometimes what we think is fat is actually stagnant lymphatic fluid. Using a professional-grade drainage tool can drain this fluid away, revealing the bone structure underneath.
Consult professionals: If lifestyle changes aren’t working, it may be time to consider personalized treatment plans focused on metabolic health or fat-dissolving options.
How to tear your face off
“Tearing off” your face isn’t just about the jawline, but the whole vibe. You want high cheekbones, lifted eyes and tight skin.
Gua Sha for the forehead: Lift the entire face by working the muscles around the eyes and forehead. Lauryn does this through facial fascia massage.
Use microcurrent: Tools like the NuFace act like a “mini facelift,” sending tiny electrical currents to the muscles.
Contouring high cheekbones: Use a cool-toned contour specifically on the “shelf” of the cheekbone to pull the eye upward.
Topical skin firming products: Look for peptides and pullulans to give an immediate (albeit temporary) tightening effect.
How to Get a Chiseled Jawline
Use mouth tape.
This one is probably obvious to you by now, but if you’re not recording your mouth every night… then it’s time to get on board.
There are so many benefits to mouth recordingand a strong jawline is just one of them. You will experience brighter eyes, much more energy and the deepest sleep of your life.
This method works wonders for your jawline by strengthening your facial muscles, making your jawline more defined and your chin profile stronger. The Skinny Confidential Mouth Tape is known to be out of print, so get it on subscription.
Try meowing.
Meow is a trendy technique invented by an orthodontist which involves using the jaw muscle to strengthen it in the long term. It can improve your jaw, it can also help relieve jaw pain and mouth breathing.
To do this, you close your mouth, lightly clench your teeth together and flatten your tongue on the roof of your mouth. You do this several times a day until it becomes a natural habit and changes your facial structure (for the better, of course) over time.
Work on your posture.
This tip may seem a little crazy, but good posture can definitely contribute to your jawline just as much as poor posture can contribute to a double chin.
Think about it: When you’re sitting slouched and looking at your phone, you’re not using your chin and neck muscles as much. As a result, the muscles tend to weaken.
So, to solve this problem, you need to work on your posture. Here are our tips:
Build your core strength to better support your spine.
Limit screen time on your phone so you don’t spend hours with text.
Take breaks from what you are doing to change your body position. If you have been sitting for a long time, get up and walk around. If you’re on your feet all day, try to schedule breaks to sit down every now and then.
Make sure your chair has adequate support.

Eat intentionally.
The food you eat can play a big role in the appearance of your jawline in several ways.
First, the food you eat can cause your face to swell, for a variety of reasons. Too much sodium in your diet can cause your body to retain excess fluid. Additionally, certain foods are more likely to be inflammatory than others. Both of these things can make your face look puffy.
However, there are several ways to combat swelling. First, monitor your salt intake to minimize excess fluid in your body. Next, you may want to follow an anti-inflammatory diet, such as the Mediterranean diet. Of course, you can always just take note of the foods that bloat your face and avoid them, while adding anti-inflammatory foods, such as leafy greens, berries, and fish.
If you experience random bloating and swelling from one day to the next, without rhyme or reason, you need to listen or watch Gary Brecka on the show where he talks about a facet of gut health that we bet you’ve never heard before.
It’s also a good idea to stock up on protein. You know Lauryn and her bowl of meatafter all!
Protein is a game changer in more ways than one. This can certainly help ensure you never feel full and avoid unhealthy cravings you might have, but it can also support collagen production, as protein-rich foods like fish and meat are often rich in amino acids, which are the building blocks of collagen. You need collagen for firm, plump skin.
Drink your water.
Speaking of things you need to have firm, plump skin, you MUST meet your daily water goals. Hydrated skin appears radiant and supple, and Water is also necessary for the production of collagen.
TIP: Hydrate yourself properly with Beauty saltwhich contains electrolytes, pearl powder and colostrum.
Exercise your jaw.
Jaw exercises are a convenient option for a girl on the go. If you want that sculpted look, but really don’t have ANY TIME to spend on it, you can always pair a jaw exercise with something you already do. We love a good habit stack.
Check these exercises for the face or these home techniques for sculpting the jawline to start. Lauryn takes about 8-10 minutes each morning to do facial fascia massage and she noticed such a difference all over his face. The eyebrows are raised, the cheekbones stand out and the jawline is sculpted.
Take colostrum supplements.
Colostrum has so many benefits you wouldn’t believe it but it’s true. Two of these incredible benefits are improved skin health and reduced inflammation. These are two things you NEED for healthy, plump skin around your jawline.
Beauty salt was formulated with 40% pure colostrum from the first milking, which is one of the highest amounts available in supplements.
Try facial rollers.
Face rolling is a trendy method, but did you know that it has been helping people for centuries?
Facial rollers are a simple but effective tool for defining your jawline. They can define your jawline by reducing puffiness by stimulating lymphatic drainage and improving blood circulation to your face.
Face rolling alone has great benefits for the jawline, but you can get even more benefits using the an ice roller. This roller takes the benefits of facial rolling and combines them with cold therapy, leaving your skin even firmer and sculpted all the way down to your jawline, especially if you have swelling.
HOT TIP: Want to go running? THE MINT ROLL is the perfect size to throw in your bag and it stays cold longer than any other roll.
Massage your face.
Facial massage is u ne other at-home technique for shaping your jawline, and it’s one that Lauryn LOVES.
This method works best when you squeeze a few drops of deflating oil in your skin before you start. Next, start by placing the knuckle of your index finger under your jaw and the knuckle of your middle finger on top of your jaw, level with your chin. Gently apply pressure by sliding your knuckles along your jaw to the bottom of your ear.
You can practice facial massage with your hands, or with facial massage tools, like this facial massagerwhich is the perfect shape to contour your jawline and cheekbones.
Use cold therapy.
Cold therapy (like rolling ice cream) can help you eliminate facial puffiness and bloating. Ice can decrease inflammation and swelling by reducing blood flow to the area. If you are suffering from swelling, cold therapy is the solution for you. If you use the ice rolleryou get all the benefits of cold therapy AND facial rolling in one.
Dry brush.
Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system, which helps remove excess fluid and cellular waste from your body. All that gunk hanging around in your lymph nodes can TOTALLY ruin your jaw, so get it out of there with the BUTTER BRUSH.
To use it, we recommend performing a dry brush all over the body to stimulate the entire lymphatic system. Starting at your feet, make short, quick movements working your way up toward the heart. Brush your entire body this way, using medium pressure on your arms and legs, while applying lighter pressure on your torso and neck. Go even further after the shower with the body sculptor. It will help drain and detoxify the lymph even more, revealing a toned figure.
Try facial steaming.
Facial steam is a method used to promote the production of collagen and elastin through increased blood flow, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin.
For this method, Lauryn likes it at-home facial steamer by Dr. Dennis Gross. When steaming your face, you should start with a clean, dry face. Using distilled water, fill the reservoir, then turn it on and steam for up to nine minutes.
Get the ultimate ripped jaw!
The tongue press: Push your tongue against the roof of your mouth and hold for 10 seconds. This activates the muscles under the chin and provides an instant lift for photos.
Sanding of fascia: Use a small fascia tool to break up adhesions around the jawline. Often, a “soft” jaw is just tight fascia holding in fluid.
Magnesium bicarbonate: Drinking magnesium-rich water helps regulate the fluid in your cells, preventing the “puffy face” look that hides your bone structure.
Avoid overusing the masseter muscle: If you grind your teeth at night, your masseter muscle can actually become too large, making the face look square rather than ripped. Consider night guard or specific treatment plans to relax the muscle.
