How to Get Rid of Double & Triple Chins
Double and triple chins form from excessive stress on the skin around the neck coupled with a lack of vitamin E and circulation. The combination of these conditions causes the skin to sag, creating the appearance of multiple chins.

Make a neck lotion to supply vitamins and nutrients to the skin around the double and triple chins. Put 1 tbsp. cocoa butter, 1 tbsp. lanolin and ½ cup corn oil into the top of a double boiler. Melt the three ingredients thoroughly and place in a sealable jar. Apply to neck once a day to restore elasticity and reduce sagging.

Perform neck exercises daily to increase circulation and reduce fat accumulation. Poor circulation reduces the amount of vitamins that reach the skin, leaving it unhealthy and saggy. Move the head in wide, circular motions clockwise at least four times and then counterclockwise at least four times. Make the movements as fluid as possible. Repeat three times daily.

Combine 1 tsp. glycerine, ½ tsp. Epsom salts and five drops of peppermint oil together and place on a small cotton pad. Place the pad directly onto the neck and secure in place with elastic bandages. This will help restore nutrients to the neck and increase elasticity. Apply to the neck and double-chin area three to five times weekly.

Create a facial cream to moisten the neck and provide vitamin E. Add an egg yolk, 1 tbsp. wheat germ oil and 1 tbsp. brewer's yeast to a blender and mix well on medium speed. Wash the face and neck thoroughly, and then gently apply the cream to the neck. Allow it to dry for 15 to 20 minutes, and then rinse off with cool water. Dry your face and double- or triple-chin area thoroughly using a clean cotton towel.

Eat foods that are high in vitamin E. This vitamin plays one of the largest roles in skin health. The enhanced levels of vitamin E in the body will increase elasticity and general health of the skin all over the body. It will also reduce sagging and help get rid of double and triple chins. Foods high in vitamin E include dairy, eggs, brown rice, liver, barley, rye and nuts.

Tips & Warnings
Add 4 tbsp. water to the neck lotion to make it easier to spread onto double and triple chins. A tincture of benzoin can be used in place of peppermint oil if available. Experiment with your own neck exercises for the best results in your particular case. Most exercises that feel like they benefit the neck will create desirable results with continued use.
Do not rub the facial cream into the skin. Gently apply a layer over the double- and triple-chin areas. Rubbing it in may cause temporary dry skin or excessively oily skin.
