🧴 Jawline-Supporting Skincare
Use products from the Foundational Routine to maintain skin health and definition:
Goal | Product | When to Use |
Cleanse & de-puff | AM & PM. Apply to damp skin, massage gently for 30 seconds focusing on jawline and neck, then rinse with lukewarm water. Tip: Always follow with a clean towel pat-down — no rubbing. | |
Tighten & firm | AM & PM Daily, after cleansing, before moisturizer. Apply 2–3 drops to fingertips and gently press into skin along the jawline and face. Allow it to absorb fully (~30 seconds) before layering next product. Note: If using exfoliants or retinoids, alternate to avoid irritation. | |
Hydrate deeply | PM only, as final step. Apply a dime-sized amount after serum, massage into face and jawline. Use nightly for deep overnight hydration. Helps with overnight skin barrier repair and recovery. | |
Weekly De-Bloat Mask | 1–2 times per week, PM. Use after cleansing, apply a thin, even layer to jawline and full face. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Follow With: Serum + moisturizer. Tip: Use on nights when you're not applying niacinamide for best results. |
🧠 Tips for Maximum Gains
Take weekly photos under consistent lighting to track jawline definition.
Get 7–9 hours of sleep daily — growth hormone helps skin tone and fat metabolism.
Don't overtrain — the jaw is not a bicep. 3–4 sessions/week is enough.
📌 Final Word
Jaw maxxing is not a gimmick — it’s a smart combination of posture, muscle training, skincare, and diet. Stay consistent, stay tactical, and track your changes. Even subtle shifts will compound over time to create a noticeably stronger profile.
