How To Get A Tighter Jawline

It's no secret: The jawline is one of the most in-demand parts of the face right now. A contoured jawline is a sign of youth and beauty, and thanks to the Zoom Boom, everyone is analyzing their facial contours more than ever before. And, although in-office skin-tightening treatments and surgical procedures are incredibly effective (and much more long-lasting), topical products and tech-savvy tools—if used consistently—can help strengthen skin and maintain a firmer, plumper look. They're also great maintenance treatments in between office visits. These are 20 of our favorites right now.

Exuviance Age Reverse Plus Rebuild-5 Cream ($88)

Cosmetic chemists worked on this luxurious moisturizer's patented MicroDipeptide229 for eight years to help visibly firm skin, especially on the cheekbones and jawline area.

Malaya Organics 3D Rose Quartz Sculpting Facial Tool ($75)

Designed to create a kneading motion—similar to that of a facial massage, like those from FaceGym—this facial roller helps relieve tension in the jaw as it sculpts the jawline for a more youthful appearance. It also has a cooling effect, which feels great on the skin after a long night or on hot summer days, and delivers major depuffing action, even under the eyes.

111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Neck & Décolletage Serum ($400)

Recently reformulated and intensified to include the brand's signature diamond delivery system, this best-selling serum was inspired by 111Skin founder and plastic surgeon Dr. Yannis' Y-Lift Surgery, a cosmetic procedure that lifts the face, jawline and neck.

Dr. Arrivo Miss Arrivo The Vegas II($560)

Skin-care savants can't get enough of this high-tech tool that utilizes four different technologies to tighten and smooth mild skin laxity on the jawline (results are typically seen within eight weeks). Mid-frequency interval pulse (MFIP) technology delivers intermittent electrical pulses similar to a Shiatsu massage, which facilitates increased blood circulation and promotes efficient skin collagen reproduction; ultrasound pulse (UP) penetrate deep to stimulate muscles through alternating currents; high mid-frequency interval pulse (HIMFIP), a combination of MFIP and UP; and red LED light, which activates skin cells and helps restore elasticity for anti-aging benefits.

The A Method by Tina Alster, MD Neck Firming Cream ($67.50)

Apply this thick cream at night to stimulate collagen production as you sleep thanks to all-trans retinol, a high concentration of amino acid L-carnitine, smoothing arnica Montana, caffeine and taurine. The combination of actives helps tighten and tone the appearance of saggy skin while reducing the look of deep creases and evening skin tone.

"A common concern for many of my patients is neck sagging," says founder and Washington, D.C. dermatologist Tina Alster, MD. "The 'turkey neck' appearance results from weakening of the platysma muscle that runs from the jawline down the neck to the clavicle. When this muscle loses its strength, jowls form and the skin under the chin loosens and sags. This laxity can be corrected with surgical lifting and noninvasive procedures such as Ultherapy and Silhouette InstaLift, but a running head start to reduce the severity of neck sagging can be accomplished at home."

Neutrogena Rapid Firming Collagen Triple Lift Serum ($40)

This fast-absorbing serum is a drugstore steal, as it smooths skin on the face, neck and jawline for a more taut appearance courtesy of a triple-action collagen formula with low molecular weight collagen, AHP amino acid and an amino sugar. In brand studies, 92 percent of people using it twice a day saw visibly firmer skin in four weeks. And did we mention it also moisturizes too?

It pairs with a corresponding app to guide you through a foolproof routine, or you can operate it manually to conduct your own "workout" with the intensity level of your choice. An exclusive anti-shock system auto automatically adjusts the microcurrent to your skin's resistance to make treatments safe and comfortable, too.

(It's also won several NewBeauty Awards!) If used regularly, you will see results. But like anything, if you stop doing your daily "exercise," your skin will eventually revert back to baseline.
