This tongue exercise might just be the secret to that snatched jawline “Mewing” is the latest buzzword in the beauty and wellness sphere—an old-school technique that’s quickly gaining a cult following among the beauty-obsessed. And no, it’s not that Pokemon. You’ve heard of contouring, sure.
Maybe you’ve even tried a few face yoga exercises on YouTube. Perhaps you’ve had a session or two of Botox or fillers. But what if there was a completely free and natural way to quite literally reshape your face? No knives, no fillers, no fancy products required.
Just your mouth, and some discipline. Mewing is all about proper tongue posture. Throughout our lives, teeth move constantly and our jaws adapt to the change.
By keeping our tongue pressed up against the roof of our mouth, we’re essentially molding and reshaping our face from the inside out. It’s like strategically flexing a muscle except that muscle is the tongue. The principle is simple.
The subtle, upward pressure from the tongue helps define the jawline, lift the cheekbones, and even straighten teeth over time. It’s supposed to improve not just the jawline but the profile too, aligning a person’s chin and nose. Think of it as a 24/7 natural facelift.
As you mew, be sure not to push your tongue too hard against your teeth, as they can change along with your jawline, and you might not want any new gaps between your pearly whites. Mewing advocates recommend doing it at least 20 to 30 minutes every day . T.
