Jawline how to get

How to Get a Jawline

Introduction

If you’ve been following along with the posts on whiteknightrises.com, you’ll know that I don’t believe in pickup artist BS like “game“.

To me, having game = getting laid and one of the key components to that is looking good.

Looks definitely matter and one of the most (if not most) important parts of your Looks is your Face.

There are a lot of things you can do to improve your facial appearance, such as get rid of acne (if you have it).

Another thing you should know is how to get a jawline (if you don’t have one).

If you look at any male model, actor, or any other person who is seen as sexually desired by females, they almost always have a chiseled jawline.

Lose Body Fat

Something that will help you get that model jawline is simply losing body fat.

I could go into why that works but instead, let me just show you some pictures:

Pictures by Unknown, via Goodlookingloser

As you can see, losing body fat not only slims down that waistline but gives you a stronger jawline as well.

If you’ve never been lean – low teens (10-14%) in body fat percentage or lower (can see your abs if you flex and maybe even when you don’t), you have yet to realize your full facial attractiveness.

And no – there is no way to lose fat on just your face (when you lose fat, you lose fat everywhere).

The easiest way to lose body fat is this:

Consume Less Carbohydrates and Salt

Even if you get down to a relatively low body fat, your jawline might not look as good as you want because your face is bloated from consuming too many carbohydrates and/or salt (aka sodium).

This is because both carbohydrates* and salt increase water retention, making your face (and other parts of you) look bloated.

Earlier I mentioned that eliminating carbohydrates altogether is even better for fat loss than just eliminating sugar alone (sugar is a type of carbohydrate).

This is because if you don’t consume carbohydrates, it is physically impossible to put on fat because instead of burning carbs for energy, your body starts to burn fat (this is the basis for no/low-carb and keto diets).

However, like I said, eliminating carbs can be tough because it’ll make it difficult to do things like eat out with friends, drink, etc.

Getting rid of sugar is much more doable.

As for salt, don’t add (too much) of it to foods and try your best to avoid things with lots of salt like fast food, packaged foods (e.g. microwavable meals), canned food, sauces, crackers, salted nuts, and so on.

Drink Lots of Water

This may be a bit counter-intuitive since I just talked about water retention from carbs and sodium but drinking water can also reduce the bloated or puffy face effect.

This is because if you’re dehydrated, your body will retain water to prevent further dehydration.

This magic, and often free, drink will solve a lot of your problems

Therefore, aim for 1 gallon+ (

4 liters+) of water a day.

Take Dandelion Root (Temporary)

This is more of a temporary solution but taking dandelion root could help make your jawline look better.

This is because dandelion root is a strong (and natural) diuretic (makes your body get rid of more water, such as on your face).

Although dandelion root is natural, I wouldn’t recommend taking it regularly as it’s a pretty potent diuretic.

Use it more for special events* where you want your jawline to be especially chiseled like going out, a date, taking pictures for online dating, etc. For example, take 1 pill the night before with lots of water, 1 pill the morning of or a few hours before with a decent amount of water, and then 1 pill right before with a little water.

* If you do any of the above things a lot (and they aren’t “special events”), limit the usage of dandelion root and other “water pills” to once or twice a week.

Also, don’t take dandelion root (or any other diuretic) if you’re using a creatine supplement. Creatine redirects fluids like water into the muscles. Thus, taking a diuretic (flushes out water) kind of defeats the purpose of taking creatine.

How to Get a Jawline In Pictures (Camera Trick)

This is for when you’re taking pictures but basically just extend your neck forward for the “illusion” of a better jawline.

(Don’t overdo it to the point that it becomes obvious though).

At around the 7-minute mark in the video you can see some examples.

Consider Growing Facial Hair

If the above suggestions don’t work, it means that your face shape/bone structure is not one that produces a strong jawline (even at low body fat, low water retention, etc).

To overcome this, consider growing facial hair (basically your facial hair “becomes your jawline”).

I personally would’ve trimmed the beard closer to his face (and changed the hairstyle), but you can see that with facial hair, you can hide a weak jawline and/or make it look like you have a decent one.

If you can’t grow facial hair, consider using minoxidil on your face twice a day: once upon waking up, and once before bed. For results, check out Reddit, Minox Beard Spot, or this 1 year minoxidil log from GoodLookingLoser forum.

Plastic Surgery (Last Resort)

The last way to get a better jawline is plastic surgery.

This is only if your face is naturally and significantly below average like below:

If this guy had never gotten work done on his face, he probably would have had no chance with the ladies and generally not been respected by society (fact).
By Meko Clinic, via @asiansurgery

While the guy’s jawline isn’t super strong, his “after” jawline (and face overall) are a significant improvement from pre-surgery.

However, this kind of procedure is really a last resort, and I think most people reading this are going to be fine with stuff like losing body fat, consuming less carbs and salt, drinking more water, taking dandelion root, and growing facial hair.

Obviously, the guy in the pic kind of needed plastic surgery because he would’ve been fighting an extremely uphill battle otherwise.

Nonsurgical stuff like Botox, fillers, etc. are also going to be unnecessary for most people (not cursed with extremely bad looks and/or facial structure).

Conclusion

It’s no secret that a good jawline is admired by the ladies.

Before you give up on cutting cheese with that mandible, consider implementing some of the suggestions laid out for how to get a jawline.

You’ll thank yourself later when your interactions with females become a lot easier.

If you’re like me when I started: you don’t lack motivation.

You’re keen to jump into a routine and you’ve got the discipline to stick to it every day. But you’re scared of wasting your time. There’s so many jaw exercises and rubber balls chewing toys out there, it’s hard to know what works.

1. Mewing 👅

Why You Don’t Already Have a Sharp Jawline

There’s a lot of confusion around mewing. Is it a facial exercise? Do you just put your tongue on roof of your mouth?

The confusion is understandable. It’s a relatively new idea to most people and there’s lot of false information being spread around.

There’s hundreds of mewing transformations being shared on Reddit, YouTube and in forums. Just check out these 40 mewing before and after photos if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

Thousands of men and women have turned weak jawlines into defined jawlines. all from putting your tongue on the roof of your mouth?

Mewing is gaining popularity FAST. Just look at the increase in Google searches for mewing in the last 3 years.

Ok so this thing «mewing» is taking off like a rocket 🚀. What even is mewing though? And what’s it got to do with having a sharp jawline?

Mewing = Tongue on Roof of Your Mouth + Nose Breathing

Mewing claims that you should rest your tongue on the roof of your mouth. And that you should hold your head upwards and breathe through your nose- not your mouth. This posture is claimed to be the healthy and natural posture for humans.

It wasn’t until a few hundred years ago that our modern diet and lifestyle changed this. Modern people have less energy, weaker facial muscles, neck muscles, and even bone structures.

All these contribute to sagging skin and a less youthful appearance. Our appearance isn’t all based on individual genetic factors as most would have you believe.

It’s well known that native Americans had strong jawlines due to their lifestyle and habit of chewing hard tree resins (like mastic gum)

When your Grandpa was 20, did he have a double chin and chubby cheeks?

I didn’t think so. Mewing comes naturally to some people and is VERY hard for others. It all depends on your lifestyle and habits right up until the point you try mewing for the first time.

If you don’t «mew» already, you’ve got some fantastic benefits to look forward to. Not just the potential of a chiseled jawline, but also improved definition of your facial muscles, front neck muscles and a more youthful appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Mewing?

The best mewing tutorial on YouTube. My channel is the internet’s best resource for mewing and jawline information.

Why Mewing is the Step #1 to Getting a Sharper Jawline

Mewing puts your jaw structure back into its natural position. Remember, mewing isn’t one of these new jawline exercises. It’s just the natural and healthy posture that humans are supposed to have.

It’s like going back to eating fresh vegetables and organic meat. Instead of eating all the processed garbage that’s available for us today.

Mewing can make changes to your jaw and facial bone structure that NO exercise can. It’s either mewing, or surgery. Here’s what mewing will do:

2. Chewing 💪

The Little-Known Way to Chisel Your Jawline That Will Sound Obvious in Hindsight

Y ou’ve started mewing. You’re seeing changes.. but MAN, they are slow. Unfortunately that’s the way it is with mewing. It’ll be worth it though.

But what more can you do to speed up the process and get a sharp jawline even faster?

Build Your Masseter (The Brad Pitt Muscle)

The masseter muscle sits on the side of your jaw. Your face shape matters too. but most people with «strong jawlines» just have large masseter muscles. Either from genetics or they’ve built it. Intentionally or accidentally.

Brad Pitt iss famous for its meaty masseter muscles

«haha but I don’t have that muscle»

Your masseter muscle is small, but don’t worry- it exists! Modern diets are so soft that most people have never stimulated these facial muscles before.

The masseter muscle is highlighted above in red

How to Grow Your Masseter Muscle

Y ou probably already know what I’m going to say.

Chewing is the best way to build your jaw muscles. and even tighten up your neck muscles all the way down to your collar bone.

It sounds so simple and basic- but it’s literally the best way.

There’s 2 types of exercises that are safe and crazy effective:

JAWLINER: the Best Way to Build Your Masseter

Molar-based jaw trainers like Jawliner are the best way to improve your jawline

Mastic Gum: the Best Chewing Gum for Your Jawline

Google searches for «jawline gum» are rising rapidly

5 Steps to Maximise Your Chewing Gum Jawline Results

1. Chew on Both Sides

You don’t want an asymmetrical jawline. Make sure you exercise each side of your jaw equally to prevent neck pain in your neck muscles.

Some people unconsciously chew with their dominant side their entire life. Make sure to chew consciously to avoid your jaw clenching and muscle growing larger on only one side.

2. Rest, So Your Jaw Can Grow

Gym junkies will tell you that your muscles grow when you’re resting. Same for your jaw muscles.

Don’t workout your jaw with chewing gum for more than 1-2 hours per a day. Start with 20 minutes a day.

You may get tempted to chew gum all day: «more chewing = more muscle!». But too much chewing could lead to Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ). You don’t want that, so take it easy.

If you’re chewing Mastic Gum, then 1 hour a day is TOO MUCH for beginners. Mastic gum is like HEAVY deadlifts for your jaw. It’s extremely tiring for your jaw and neck muscles.

3. Stretch To Avoid Tight Jaw Muscles

Stretching is a good idea for maintaining the flexibility of your muscles, to help avoid jaw pain, jaw clenching problems and prevent neck strain.

Stretch your facial muscles and neck muscles (all the way to your collarbone) after every jawline workout.

4. Add More Weight

You wouldn’t expect and 1 hour of running to build muscle in your legs. Same for your jawline exercises: 1 hour of chewing isn’t the best way. You need to add weight to your workout.

Heavy squats will build muscle 100x faster than long distance running. So how do you «go heavy» for your masseter muscles? You chew harder gums like mastic or jawline gum.

5. Give It 3-6 Months

Go to the gym for 2 months and you won’t look like The Rock, right? Building muscle takes time. Some muscles, like the chest, grow easier than others.

The muscles of the jaw don’t grow quickly. They’re extremely resilient and need a lot of excessive load.

3. Slimming 🥦

No, You Don’t Have to Count Calories to Shed Body Fat

Y ep, this is obvious. But people overlook it because it’s obvious. They’re looking for some new hack or workout that will let them skip the hard work.

Slimming down is the fastest way to improve your jaw definition. Nothing else comes close. Most people already have halfway decent jawlines, they’re just hidden by a layer of fat.

«You might already have a sharp jawline. it’s just hidden with fat!»

That’s why slimming is step #3. By mewing and chewing, you’ve built a sharp, chiseled jawline. Now you’ve just got to uncover it by following a healthy diet, consuming less salt and shedding excess fat.

What Happens to Your Jaw Definition After Burning Your Excess Fat?

A ll your hard work becomes visible. Your skin around your neck, jaw and chin tightens up. Your masseter muscles stick out from the side of your jaw. And your chin becomes more prominent and defined.

A healthy diet with less salt intake will make your entire body more attractive- not just your face.

Shedding excess fat makes ALL your muscles more defined. You can see the striations and lines where your muscles attach.

The hardest part of getting a 6 pack. is being lean enough so you can see it!

Have you ever seen a fat person with a 6 pack?

Of course not. The whole part of having a 6-pack is being lean enough to see the muscle. IT’S THE SAME WITH YOUR JAWLINE.

Please DO NOT underestimate the effect that losing weight can have on your jawline. Losing weight is hard. It’s not fun. But it WORKS.

Diet vs Exercise For Weight Loss

It’s SO MUCH EASIER to lose weight when you aren’t hungry. Starving yourself just makes you feel like sh** and you just end up binging anyway. It’s not sustainable, and it doesn’t work either.

Exercise vs Diet

When you want to burn off your belly: should you exercise more? Or eat healthy? Which is easier, more effective and more sustainable?

Diet. But you shouldn’t think of it as a «diet». To me that word sounds temporary. You’re looking for something you can do forever (or at least for a few months) and feel fantastic at the same time.

It takes a lot more exercise to burn calories than you think

Run 5 Miles or Not Eat That Slice of Carrot Cake?

To burn off the calories from 1 slice of carrot cake you’d have to 5 miles. That’s crazy 😜.

Which is easier? Running 5 miles might take 1 hour. How long does it take to not eat a piece of cake? 1 second?

That’s why diet is 10x more important than exercise when you’re trying to shed pounds. It is so much more time efficient and it actually works better anyway.

You should still exercise of course. It’s an essential part of health: increasing your blood flow and sweating out toxins.

«Ok man, I get that. But it’s hard to resist food. I get hungry. I get cravings. Sometimes I eat a whole bunch of things before I even realise what I’m doing 😅»

I’m the same. So I created some dieting rules that mean you never need to feel hungry. Let’s check them out.

How to Lose Weight WITHOUT Being Hungry

F ollow the 5 rules below. and you can eat as much as you want. Seriously, you never have to be hungry or feel guilty. The fat will just melt off.

Some preparation and planning is needed though. Otherwise you’ll fall back on your bad habits. Make sure you read the section below the 5 rules.

🍞 Rule #1: Avoid refined carbs

All bread, rice (even brown rice), cereal, potatoes, pasta, tortillas, grains and fried food with bread.

🧃 Rule #3: Don’t drink calories.

Drinking water is fine- drink as much as you want. Don’t be afraid to drink unsweetened tea or black coffee as well.

But remember that they dehydrate you, so try to limit it. I drink 1 cup of coffee in the morning and 1 cup of tea in the afternoon.

Do not drink milk (any type of milk), soft drinks, or fruit juice. These are high sugar, high insulin and don’t keep you full AT ALL = bad choice.

Sugar-free soda is a no go. It is counter-productive for your gut bacteria, which is crucial for regulating your body’s fat stores. No alcohol either.

🥝 Rule #4: Don’t eat fruit

Tomatoes and avocados are the only exceptions. But don’t have too much of them either. I know a lot of people frown when they hear this rule — how can fruits be bad for you?

They aren’t bad for you. But that doesn’t mean they help you lose weight. They’re loaded with fructose, which is a form of sugar that spikes your insulin.

Taking your body out of «fat-burning mode». Only eat fruit on your cheat day.

🍔🥤🤤 Rule #5: Take one day off per week.

Saturday usually works the best! You need to have a day to indulge and reset your discipline clock. Once a week (Saturday) I eat burgers, fries, pizza candy- whatever refined carbs, sugar or fats I want.

But make sure your cheat day doesn’t sneak into a «cheat weekend». Too many people diet during the week and binge during the weekend. If you’re serious, eat garbage one day only.

💤 🛏 Rule #6: Get Enough Sleep

Give your body the rest it needs to process the fat it is burning. Sleeping feels lazy and counterproductive. but it’s when you’re sleeping that your body is actually building muscle and getting rid of your excess fat.

Make sure to get enough sleep if you want to slim down and see your defined jawline.

Food Preparation & Planning

O bviously you’ll lose weight if you follow any diet. The hard part is following it!

This diet or «eating plan» is designed to be easy to stick. But I want to make it as easy as possible for you and I’ve got a few tricks to help.

How to stick to the diet:

How to Get a Chiseled Jawline: The Proven Methods

Whether you’re a man or woman, a chiseled jawline is desirable. For men, a strong jawline goes with a muscular build: it denotes masculinity and good looks. For women, a slimmer​ face with a sculpted jawline looks more elegant and makes your smile more attractive.

Jawlines and face structures are mostly determined by genetics and your overall health. Keeping your body fat percentage below 15% will make your face “pop” more, for example. However, most people don’t know that you can give your face more definition by practicing jawline exercises. Best of all, these exercises work well for both men and women. So, let’s talk about all the ways you can workout your face to get a more chiseled jawline.

Table of Contents

Why You Should Exercise Your Face

Like any other muscle in your body, your jawline’s own muscles can be toned with proper exercise. Of course, we use these muscles every day when we eat. However, eating food is not enough to effectively tone your face unless you have a pure carnivore diet. Targeted face workouts are therefore necessary if you want to improve your jawline and profile.

You might not know this, but your jaw muscles are some of the strongest muscles in your body. Collectively, they can apply over 150 pounds of pure force when pushed to the test. Made up of four muscles, they are constantly in use. However, like any other muscle, they can start to sag as one gets older.

Some of us, though, have always had saggy jowls and a poor profile for a myriad of reasons. Others may a recessed jawline due to dietary restraints. Still, others might have a recessed face due to improper posture. However, by working out your masseter and other muscles of mastication, you can have an improved profile and a more defined jawline. It’s like working out any other muscle in your body.

Medical Explanations and Evidence

In the past two decades, more and more dermatology studies have been popping up demonstrating that face exercises create desirable aesthetic results. That’s why reputable face fitness programs are now popping up because of their long-term benefits.

However, many remain skeptical about jaw workouts and maintain it produces no results. This is why we’ve conducted a review of medical studies and expert opinions which we’ve compiled in a separate article.

After compiling and assessing the evidence, we can conclude that jawline exercises (and face workouts in general) produce visible aesthetic results.

Stay Away from Plastic Surgery!

The costliest way to achieve the chiseled jawline you want is through plastic surgery, popularly done by injecting dermal fillers like calcium hydroxylapatite into the bone of your jaw. Although the entire procedure is relatively short, taking only about 30 minutes, it will cost you a pretty penny and, on top of that, needs to be done every year. It’s also pretty painful.

The surgery option is extreme and there’s no guarantee it will even work. After all, it’s not natural. You’re just covering up the problem and not working out your masseter muscles at all. I would personally not recommend this option unless you have a serious problem like a very recessed chin or grossly malformed jowls.

Jaw workout exercises remain the best non-invasive alternative to plastic surgery with more natural results. It is definitely, 100% worth a try before you consider any surgical options.

How to Improve Your Jawline: The Most Effective Methods

The Best Option: Chewing Gum

Chewing durable gum remains the most effective way to exercise your jaw. It also happens to be the most intuitive one. Chewing works out eight different muscles in your face and neck. It also goes a long way in reducing a double chin. After all, there’s a reason so many models chew gum before runway shows. The process of chewing gum strengthens your face muscles, thus making them more accentuated and concave. It’s the ultimate, comprehensive jaw workout.

Chewing gum is, therefore, the single easiest and best way to improve your jawline and give it the chiseled definition you want. This is because not only is it incredibly easy and can be incorporated into your everyday routine seamlessly, but it is also ultimately good for your dental health if you chew the right stuff.

Pick the Right Chewing Gum (Very Important)

You’re going to want to stay away from any gum with sugar or practically anything you find near the register at the grocery store. The everyday gum that is usually sold at kiosks and marts generally won’t last very long. The most long-lasting gum on the market perfect for daily jaw exercises is made from mastic, a resin from mastic trees commonly called “Arabic gum.”

Mastic gum is known for being bitter at first, but after some chewing, it becomes more refreshing. People describe the taste as being similar to pine and is able to be chewed for long periods of time. It’s, therefore, the best gum for jaw workouts.

Therefore, for jawline definition from a jaw workout, your go-to gum should be mastic gum. Alternatively, you can also try Falim chewing gum if you don’t like the taste of mastic. These two are hands down your best options.

How Often Should You Chew?

Try to make chewing gum into an everyday activity when you’re doing work. When you’re on the computer, for example, is an excellent time to get chewing. When you’re commuting might be the best time for you to chew away on some mastic gum—regardless, it’s so easy to incorporate into your everyday life. Just make sure to always change the sides you chew on so your exercise both sides of your face evenly.

Try chewing 2-3 hours every day, however, be careful not to wear your jawline muscles out. Don’t push yourself too far and, if you feel tired from your jaw workout, stop chewing.

When Can I Expect Results?

Once I started chewing mastic gum regularly, I saw a noticeable definition in my jawline in just a month. However, initially chewing all the time will be tiring since your jaw muscles are not used to it. That’s OK: eventually, these muscles will strengthen and that’s when you will start to see your face get toned.

Correct Your Tongue Posture with ‘Mewing’

For many of us without realizing it, we rest our tongues on the floor of our mouths. Oftentimes, this coincides with mouth-breathing which depresses your jowls and overall posture. When you only breathe through your mouth, your body is more oxygen-deprived which worsens your appearance overall.

In order to fix this, you need to adopt proper tongue posture. This means resting your tongue on the roof of your mouth instead of the bottom. You should notice immediately upon adopting this tongue position that your jaw moves slightly forward. Proper tongue posture has been commonly called “mewing” online, popularized by orthodontist Dr. Mew.

What Is Mewing And How to Do It Properly

Mewing is essentially resting your entire tongue on your palate instead of the floor of your mouth. It’s that simple. By correcting the position of the tongue in your mouth, your entire jawline becomes more pronounced. Because the mouth and jaw hold the symmetry of the face together, mewing will over time make your face more aesthetically appealing.

For some of us, this may seem intuitive and we’ve been ‘mewing’ all along. For others, this might come as a shock. Ultimately, the goal of mewing is to make proper tongue posture be like muscle memory. By making the roof of your mouth the natural position for your tongue, you will see steady improvements in your profile and facial structure over time. Others have reported other benefits, like improved posture, less mouth breathing, and can even cure some cases of sleep apnea.

We recommend “mewing” be done in conjunction with chewing mastic gum or other jawline exercises. By both adhering to a correct resting tongue posture and chewing mastic gum, you can best craft and maintain a chiseled jawline. However, keep in mind that mewing will be less effective the older you are.

Not convinced? Proper tongue posture has been the subject of many scientific studies. Mewing is most effective when the body is still in development before the age of 18. However, there’s been plenty of evidence for tongue posture creating noticeable changes for many older people as well, especially those under 30 years old.

Mewing does not technically count as an exercise. However, it has to be mentioned in conjunction with jawline exercises since it is foundational for proper jaw development. Jawline exercises together with mewing will maximize the aesthetic results you’re looking for.

For further information on mewing, our guide Everything You Need to Know about Mewing is a must-read. If you are confused about any of these topics, our Questions and Answers guide covers just about any concerns may you have about mewing.

Try Using a Jaw Exercise Tool

Because jawline exercises have gotten more popular within the past year or two, some companies have created tools for a more effective workout. These jawline exercise balls, weights, and other devices are created to exercise your facial muscles. They can be used as an alternative to chewing mastic gum.

Although the mastic gum method remains the best method for defining your jawline, mouth exercisers can produce similar results. They may, in fact, get you that chiseled jawline quicker. Yet, chewing gum is still more of a rounded exercise for your entire face and neck.

Jawzrsize

The Jawzrsize Jaw Exerciser is currently the most popular facial workout weight out today.

The jawline exercise ball works over 50 muscles in your face and neck, increasing blood flow and oxygenation. It’s meant to be used for just 20 minutes a day, so it can easily be incorporated into your existing daily routines or workouts.

Customers have reported visible benefits. Jawzrsize comes in four levels: level one (20 lb. resistance), level two (30 lb. resistance), level three (40 lb. resistance), and level four (50 lb. resistance).

Jawliner

Jawliner is a nifty jaw workout that only requires a few minutes of exercise daily to see results. The Jawliner 2.0 comes in mint flavor and boasts an ergonomic fit. It’s made from 100% BPA and free of PVC. Made from food-grade silicone, it’s been as designed to provide for a firmer grip and a stronger bite.

To workout with Jawliner, first, wash the tool with warm water. Place one between your molars and chew slowly for a minute. It may feel weird at first, but you’ll get used to it. Now switch sides and chew slowly again. You’ll feel the difference—and now that you’ve familiarised yourself with it, place the Jawliner in your mouth and chew away. Just remember to keep alternating sides. You should be chewing for 5-10 minutes every other day for the best results.

5 Best Exercises to Get a Jawline 2021

The trend and beauty standards keep evolving from time to time. Nonetheless, teenagers and young adults feel pressured to comply with these high aesthetic barriers between people. Among all the great characteristics that define your looks, jawline among both men and women is considered to be the most eye-catching feature alongside a toned upper body and abs.

We all can acknowledge the fact that many studies have proven that a well-developed jawline is preferred by most of us. Our jaws outline our facial structure and are shaped by our diet.

In their book, Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic they make the case of how crooked teeth and underdeveloped jaws are mainly found due to eating soft foods, living in limited spaces, and poor posture that includes mouth-breathing.

Though we cannot help our ancestral developments, we can make a little effort to train our jaws, so we can hide away from this generational concern. Today, we are going to learn 5 Best Exercises to Get a Jawline. Let’s begin.

What is Jawline?

While we all basically know what a jawline is, what we do not know is how to get a jawline, and what causes the appearance of a sharper jawline. The answer is when we work out our jaw muscles, the contrast between our neck and our jaw increases.

This increased contrast causes a sharp shadow which appears to be a sharper jawline.

Can you get a Jawline?

Surely if you remain determined, by consistently exercising your masseter muscle, you build tension around the jaw area with leads to muscle development. This in return tightens the skin around your jaw and highlights your perfectly chiseled jawline.

There are other aspects that play a part in muscle growth like a healthy balanced diet, body fat, lifestyle choices which we shall further discuss in this quest of finding out how to get a jawline.

Is Genetics responsible for your Jawline?

Researchers at Johns Hopkins conducted research intended to find out how much of the mandible (jaw bone) is impacted by environmental influences, such as diet, and how much is genetic.

They used archaeological jaw bones from two different regions – Arikara and Point Hope American Indian populations because they were genetically isolated from other groups and ate different diets.

In the end, Megan Holmes, a graduate student from the Johns Hopkins Center for Functional Anatomy and Evolution, and lead author of the paper concluded –

“The jaw bones were similar in children before they were old enough to start chewing, however different in adulthood, which implies that this divergence is likely a functional result of their diet and the use of their jaw, rather than genetics. Genetics creates a blueprint of the bone, but a lot of things influence the bone’s construction,” says Holmes.

“Mechanical pressure from muscle stress and strain from day-to-day activities can remodel the bone’s surface and internal structure. Knowing how much the shape of a mandible we find is related to diet and how much genetically connects it to fossils found elsewhere can really help us parse out the family tree.”

And hence this research proves that by exercising our jaw muscles we can surely get a jawline. Let us jump to the different exercises without any second thoughts in our heads.

Other things that help you get a jawline

Smile

Smiling is a great way to work up each and every muscle of your face while looking beautiful. This is one work out you can do in public whenever you come across a familiar face. Smiling also has psychological benefits with is the cherry on the top.

So smile as much as you can. Try it with your lips shut together and also while showing off your teeth. Repeat this as many times as you can because there are no limits to sharing happiness around.

Chewing gum

Gum is another commonly known way of exerting pressure on your jaw muscles. Through the constant chewing motions you strengthen the area surrounding your jaw which helps further define it.

You can also opt for silicone gums like Chisell and Jawliner if you want to take a more professional approach.

Being Healthy

It is a known fact that smoking limits an individual’s ability to work-out as it makes one’s muscles weaker. It is also proven that it directly affects muscle growth by damaging and reducing the number of blood vessels produced, thereby reducing the number of nutrients and oxygen it receives.

Balanced Diet

We all know to get a jawline if it is very important that you keep in check your body fat. In order to do so, it is essential to cut down on refined carbs.

These carbs are also known as processed carbs and are found in bread, cookies, pasta, and so on. These carbs contain little to no nutritional value and add to your body fat. Hence, make sure you check the ingredients list while consuming any product.

You should simply avoid processed food and focus on unprocessed food such as whole grain products and fruits & vegetables.

3 “Weird Tricks” to Get A Better Jawline (Mastic Gum & More)

There’s just no way around this: if you want to turn heads, and have women approach YOU, you need to develop a chiseled jawline.

Yes, you should still learn how to talk to girls, how to dress well, and how to be more confident to attract women…

…but why not make things easier on yourself, and maximize your looks? It’s pretty easy to do, too. You can easily get a more chiseled jawline in a month.

How to Get A Jawline

We all want to get a better jawline… that’s a fact. Whether you’re a dude in high school, college, or the real world, we all want a chiseled jaw.

…and while some of this is genetic, a lot of it is simply due to facial muscles, which thankfully, can be grown.

There’s mainly three ways to get a better jawline:

All three of these methods work well individually, but when you combine them altogether? You’ll get a more defined jawline very fast.

The most immediate of these three is the jawline exercises, which I’ll talk about in a second. The other two work well, but take time.

Studies have shown that higher testosterone levels will help you develop a sharper jawline, but boosting testosterone takes time.

A lot of articles have tons of different crazy jawline exercises, but in my experience, simply chewing mastic gum is enough to get a good jaw.

Step #1 – Chew Mastic Gum

After browsing around on the internet for hours and hours, I finally stumbled upon this weird trick that a small group of men had been using to get more chiseled jawlines.

When I first saw it I was kind of weirded out, but I decided to look deeper.

I found out that a ton of these dudes were using something called “mastic gum,” to get a more chiseled jawline.

Obviously I was a bit skeptical, but the guys had before/after pictures that were pretty impressive. So, I looked a bit deeper and did some research.

What is Mastic Gum?

Mastic gum is basically sap from a tree indigenous to Chios (an island in the Mediterranean), and apparently it’s actually pretty big over there.

Who knows, maybe that’s why Greeks all seem to have chiseled jawlines.

…and as it turns out, when you decide to start chewing mastic gum, it develops your jawline to an unnatural degree.

Like, to the point that it looks like you’ve gotten plastic surgery.

Regardless, it’s about 10x harder to chew than regular chewing gum, so it grows your jaw muscles like crazy.

I noticed a huge difference in my jawline after just a couple weeks of chewing this stuff every day.

Mastic Gum = Chiseled Jawline

I actually just ordered some of this stuff a couple of months ago, and I started noticing a difference after a couple of weeks.

…but I really started to notice a difference after a month.

My jawline seems to be way more chiseled than it was before—in fact, one of the girls I’ve been seeing even commented on it.

“Did you get plastic surgery or something?” she asked me. “Umm, no. Why?” I asked her. “I don’t know. Your jawline looks way better,” she said.

I have to say that it felt pretty good to hear this.

To be fair, the same girl also threw out a lot of compliments in general. She always complimented me on my six pack abs every time I saw her.

To be honest though, I noticed a difference in my jawline as well. Who knew that chewing mastic gum could help you get a better jawline?

All I do is chew it vigorously until I get a nice sore jaw, then I spit it out. This usually only takes 15-30 minutes a day, but it’s not as much as it sounds like.

I just chew on the stuff when I’m writing blog articles, at the gym, or sitting around and watching a seminar or educational video at the end of the day.

I just chew, chew, chew, until my jaw starts to get sore, and then I chew a few more minutes before spitting it out.

How to Use Mastic Gum

Chewing mastic gum is by far one of the best ways to get a more chiseled jawline. To this date, I don’t know of any other (natural) way.

In fact, aside from taking testosterone or SARMs, I’d say that chewing mastic gum is the best ways to get a better jawline.

When your order arrives in the mail, it’ll come in a little box. If you have Amazon Prime, it should get there in two days.

All you do is take the mastic gum out, put a little bit in your mouth, and start chewing it over and over for as long as you can comfortably.

Here’s how to use mastic gum for a better jawline:

When you throw it in your mouth and chew it, the sap will crunch into a million tiny pieces—this is normal.

Eventually, the sap will get crushed together and form a really dense, thick rubber-like substance. Again, this is totally normal.

If you aren’t an experienced gum chewer, your jawline will probably be sore within 5 minutes, or even under a minute.

This is good—it means your jaw muscles are growing.

Over the next week slowly start increasing the time. You want to do it gradually however, so you don’t over train your jaw muscles.

Just start chewing what you can handle and slowly work your way up.

You’ll start to notice that your jawline will become more developed very quickly, probably in just under a couple of weeks.

Step #2 – Lower Body Fat

This is probably the most obvious thing that you can do to get a chiseled jawline, and yet somehow nobody talks about it.

Getting a chiseled jawline means having low enough bodyfat so that your jawline and cheekbones can show.

If you want to get a chiseled jawline, you need to get your bodyfat down pretty damn low. Ideally it should be below 8%.

Doing this is actually pretty simple if you know how.

It isn’t rocket science, although it can seem like it to people who haven’t ever been in good shape before.

Generally speaking, there’s two ways to lose fat:

For dieting, I recommend you simply count your calories and do some form of intermittent fasting. This is like rocket fuel for fat burning.

The important thing is to stay consistent, though. You’re not going to burn off pounds of fat overnight. It’s going to take time, plain and simple.

If you really want to take things to the next level, you can consider getting on an ECA stack to lose an extra pound or two, though.

As for the workout routine, there’s a ton of workout routines out there, ranging from Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength to paid routines such as mine, but it will all depend on your individual goals.

Step #3 – Boost Testosterone

The reason why women find chiseled jawlines so attractive, is because they’re an indicator of being a high testosterone alpha male.

Women are genetically pre-disposed to be attracted to high testosterone men, because those are the type of men that can protect them.

In other words, having high testosterone gives you a chiseled jawline.

This is why a lot of guys who take steroids often report growing a more chiseled jawline. This is what high testosterone does for you.

Increasing your testosterone levels is a great way to develop the muscles in your jaw, and get a more chiseled jawline.

Boosting testosterone this comes down to three things:

That’s really it. If you want a testosterone boosting workout routine, check out Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Seriously, it’ll do you good.

Any sort of powerlifting is good for testosterone, so you want to incorporate compound lifts into your workout routine (like the bench press).

It’s also a good idea to watch your diet. There’s probably a lot of testosterone killing foods in your kitchen, that you aren’t even aware of.

Aside from this, you can take certain supplements to boost your testosterone, like Ashwagandha or D-Aspartic-Acid.

Want to Get A Chiseled Body, Too?

Getting a chiseled jawline is actually pretty easy. It just comes down to chewing the right gum, losing bodyfat, and boosting testosterone.

The most effective strategy out of these three is probably the mastic gum. You’ll notice a big difference after chewing it for just a month or so.

If you combine this with the other tips, however, you’ll have the jawline of a Greek god. Chew mastic gum, lose that extra body fat, and boost your testosterone. You’ll look like Zeus in no time.

If you want to get the body of a Greek God in addition to your chiseled jawline, then check out my Body of an Alpha program.

It lays out EXACTLY what you need to do, if you want to get that lean, shredded physique, that turns heads at the beach.

❓ How Do You Get A Chiseled Jawline?

There’s many different ways to get a chiseled jawline, but most of them come down to exercising your jaw muscles. There’s several ways to do this, such as mewing, buying a jawline exercise device, or by using mastic gum.

Another important way to get a better jawline is to get down to 10% bodyfat. If you’re overweight, the extra fat stored in your face will hide your natural jawline, so losing weight can be an effective way to improve your jawline and cheekbones.

❓ Does Mastic Gum Work For A Better Jawline?

Absolutely. I’ve personally been using mastic gum on and off for the past few years, and I’ve noticed that it improves my overall jawline and helps me get a chiseled jaw that looks really good.

To use Mastic gum, simply order it online, and begin by chewing a quarter sized amount for 5 minutes each day. Eventually, you can start chewing it for up to 20 or 30 minutes a day, but most people find that just 10 minutes a day is enough to improve their jawline.

❓ How To Get Rid Of A Double Chin?

A double chin is caused by excess fat in the face and neck area, so simply losing fat will help remove your double chin. You can start by eating a healthier diet, working out consistently, and drinking more water on a daily basis.

While this probably isn’t the answer you want to hear, it’s the truth. If you diet down to 10% bodyfat, not only will you get rid of your double chin, but you’ll also have a very well defined jawline, too. It’s a win-win, isn’t it?

❓ Do Jawline Exercises Actually Work?

Absolutely. I’ve tried them myself, and they certainly do work to improve your jawline. The most important thing is to be consistent, however. It may take a few weeks to start seeing results, but if you stick with it, you will drastically improve your jawline.

Chewing gum daily and practicing mewing can also help with improving your jawline. In addition to this, there’s a few other exercises that can help, such as pushing your chin out 10 times each day, for 3 sets.

❓ How To Get A Jawline Like Brad Pitt?

While most of Brad Pitt’s jawline is genetic, there are some ways you can naturally improve your jawline to look like his. The first is to lose enough weight, so that your natural jawline actually shows. You want to get down to about 10% bodyfat for this.

Another way to get a jawline like Brad Pitt is to practice breathing through your nose, otherwise known as mewing. This helps the tongue and facial muscles form more evenly. You can also try chewing gum daily, and various jawline exercises.
