How do famous people get such firm jawlines?

[ProjectGainsborough]

Watching strictly and marvelling that Tess Daly is apparently 49 and yet has a completely firm jawline. I mean, you could cut cheese with it.

Ditto Gwyneth Paltrow. I mean, I know they’re both gorgeous anyway, but they’ve got 10 years on me and I have way more in the way of jowls. How? Is this a thing I can pay for or do I just have to go through life looking like I’ve swallowed a dinner plate?

My SIL went to see a Strictly show and said that in real life Tess and Claudia look thin to the point of being incredibly fragile, like you could snap them. That probably helps!

Botox, fillers, facials

I also have a wobbly... I don't know what it's called. Not a double chin, but the bit underneath that joins your chin to your neck.

What Richard Fish in Ally Mcbeal used to have a fetish for. It’s called a wattle.

I think most have good bone structure, they are naturally more attractive than average. And on top of that, they’re thin. Very thin.

That’s before any “work” gets done.

I was looking at this photo of Gwynnie the other day. She doesn't seem to have had any work done. She's just a natural beauty.

Being skinny obviously helps

I knew someone who used to work for Paltrow. Apparently she doesn’t have her own teeth or hair and is so thin she requires regular lifts. The thing about celebs is you don’t see them during their off days.

I don’t think being thin helps too much?

I’m thin and still have lines.

What do you mean by regular lifts (I’m probably being thick) cherry ?

I think being thin helps not have jowls, though, Delatron

I’ve probably gone off in the wrong direction, but I’m really enjoying the mental image of a tiny Gwyneth popping her dentures in and getting piggybacked around the house by an assistant.

Sort of makes sense @Biscuit - isn’t jowlyness caused by fat pads slipping? So if you have no fat, there’s nothing to slip.

Skin can sag in to jowls? I’m not disagreeing, you could well be right but thin people can look haggard?

I thought having a bit of fat in the face helped the ageing process? Could be wrong though and these actresses do all prove otherwise. I do think they are all having something down along the jawline though, be it high tech facials or something else.

Ultherapy (which is radio frequency treatment). Its about £400 here to do a couple of areas.

Or facial threads.

And fillers. My DSis had cheek and chin fillers and they made a massive difference to the shape of her face.

Being very thin.

Using the best, most well regarded and therefore expensive surgeons/practitioners and the newest treatments regularly.

For people like Tess Daley it's not a treat or a quick fix - it's an essential to keep her job and a lifetime of being on top of it. Plus, a strong jawline probably helped them get where they are in the first place, as they look good on camera.

I wouldn't expect her to have jowls at 49 anyway, especially someone naturally beautiful like that. But yeah there's a jawline procedure you can have done, I saw an instagram account on it and the difference is amazing.

Celebs are generally exceptionally photogenic with big wide cheekbones and huge jaws. Their genetically superior bone structure keeps all the skin taut.

Lucky bastards.

Surely having a strong jawline is just genes aka RR. No amount of money can give you one.

There are facial exercises in yoga that can be effective if done regularly

I don’t think being beautiful stops you from ageing? I think most people would have some face sag at 49? I do think she looks good. You can tell she has had work done but it’s good work.

I can testify to this. I have a large jaw, was always self-conscious that it looked a bit mannish. But I'm almost 50 and don't have jowls. Atlas! Something celeb like

However, the bags under my eyes are only held up by my mannish cheekbones

Nigella swears by NIOD Neck Elasticity Catalyst cream.
I received some as a Beauty Bible tester, and have found it really effective, applied around lower face, jawline and neck (I am 54).
Will probably buy when my pot runs out.

Changing the subject slightly. I heard Claudia W has all her meals made - she's got a personal chef and lives on a low calorie diet. Apparently Tessa is more naturally think - although watches her weight. Being tall probably helps!

I've always sworn if I were rich, this would be the first thing I would do.I would have a chef come in everyday to prepare us fresh meals. He/she would have a menu featuring meals from various parts of the world. They would also ensure a stack of healthy meals in the fridge incase we fancied something at odd hrs. At xmas, there would be a buffet of all sorts and we'd invite all our friends and family round to eat.
