Although that doesn’t mean chubby cheeks give you unappealing look. Certainly, chubby cheeks add glow and charm to face but fuller faces are actually stored with fat.

So, probably sculpted cheekbones and jawline are preferable to give the shape you desire.

After all, it’s the efforts we put in each day to acquire that star like face.

A bloated face is acquired as the body gains weight. Having said that, the two main factors – Improper diet plan and Exercise are the sole reasons to bloated face.

How to make your cheeks thinner?

 

 

1. Cut down on salty foods

 

Basically, the foods which are high in salt content will retain water in various parts of the body including cheeks.

This retention of water makes the cheeks look puffy like puff fish.

However, you need not completely cut down on salty foods because sodium is also an essential nutrient in the body. You just need to consume such foods in moderation.

If you consume more than the required quantity, it leads to certain adverse health issues. Also, the excess salt will add more fat and weight in your face.

So, go with less salt content foods instead of foods which make you bloated.

 

 

2. Hydrate yourself

It may seem counterintuitive but water can remove water. Hydration is an essential step to take off excess water from the body parts.

Drinking more water can remove toxins from the body that may be a source for extra water storage. If you are dehydrated your body retains water and stores it in eyes or cheeks thereby making them puffy or bloated.

When you drink more water sodium levels get diluted in the bloodstream.  So as your body doesn’t need to store water further.

Drink at least 7 to 8 litres of water per day to remove excess water from the body causing retention and to slim the cheeks.

 

 

3. No alcohol consumption

 

Alcohol is your biggest enemy to dry out your skin completely. Alcohol consumption can dehydrate your body and cause water retention and puffiness.

It makes you gain weight all over the body including the cheeks.

Replace these alcoholic beverages with natural drinks or smoothies for health benefits as well as weight loss.

So, either cut the consumption of alcoholic beverages completely or limit yourself to a drink per day in order to get rid of chubby cheeks.

Like alcoholic beverages, excess intake of caffeine can also dry out your skin.
