I’m 42 & hate my double chin – I tried Maya Jama’s £8 ‘cure’, it saved me £2.5k

WATCHING myself on screen as I chat with John Boyega, something catches my eye.

No, it’s not the handsome Star Wars actor’s looks, or even my dazzling interview technique . . . it’s my double chin.

I put it down to unflattering camera angles but there is no denying my unfortunate flubber.

As someone who talks to celebrities for a living, I need to look my best on camera.

But what could I do?

At £2,500 for a chin reduction, surgery is not something I can afford, while fat-burning jabs cost hundreds of pounds a session and make me feel squeamish.

Then I saw Love Island host Maya Jama in a chin-sculpting mask on TikTok and started to wonder: If they help make her look so stunning, could they work for me too?

I’ve been 38 for my last few birthdays and have really started to worry my chin will give my age away.

Dr Barbara Kubicka, founder of the Clinicbe clinic in London, says: “The chin and jawline play a crucial role in the perceived age and vitality of the face.

"Sagging skin and accumulated fat can suggest age just as much as wrinkles do.”

With this in mind, I track down the Wishful chin-lift sculpting sheet mask online.

According to Boots’ website, 88 per cent of users felt it made their jawline “more defined and sculpted” — and it seems Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague is also a fan.

At £8 per single-use mask, which needs to be worn for 20 to 30 minutes, they are not cheap, but I buy a week’s worth.

My seven-day chin challenge has begun . . .
