How to Use Mastic Gum

Getting Started

What You'll Receive: 20g of premium medium tears mastic gum in a durable metal tin - enough for 2-3 months of daily use.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Start Small

Begin with 3-4 small tears (about the size of a peppercorn). Mastic gum is significantly harder than regular chewing gum, so ease into it gradually.

Step 2: Soften the Gum

Chew gently for the first 2-3 minutes to soften the mastic. Avoid "cracking" the gum, It will become more pliable as it warms up from your body temperature. 

Step 3: Find Your Rhythm

Once softened, maintain steady chewing for 10-15 minutes. Focus on using both sides of your jaw equally to ensure balanced muscle development.

Step 4: Build Up Gradually

  • Week 1: 10-15 minutes daily
  • Week 2-3: 15-20 minutes daily
  • Week 4+: 20-30 minutes daily (optimal range)

(The amount of gum can also be increased for greater resistance)

Best Practices

Timing: Use when ever practical during your day. Avoid chewing close to bedtime as the jaw workout may cause tension.

Consistency: Daily use yields the best results. Think of it as a facial workout routine.

Storage: Keep your tin sealed and store in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.

Jaw Relief: If you experience any discomfort, reduce session time and gradually build back up.

Reusing Your Mastic Gum

Save & Reuse: Unlike regular gum, mastic can be reused multiple times. After your session, simply place the chewed piece back in your tin. It will harden and can be softened again for your next use.

Hygiene: Each piece can typically be reused 3-5 times before losing its effectiveness. Replace when the gum becomes too soft or loses its resistance.

Heat Warning: Previously chewed pieces may melt or become sticky in hot temperatures. Avoid leaving your tin in direct sunlight, hot cars, or warm areas.

What to Expect

Week 1-2: Jaw muscles may feel slightly worked (similar to starting any new exercise)

Week 3-4: Improved jaw muscle tone becomes noticeable

Month 2+: Enhanced jawline and facial balance

Safety Notes

  • Stop use if you experience TMJ pain or persistent jaw discomfort
  • Pregnant or nursing women should consult a healthcare provider
  • Not suitable for children under 12

Natural muscle engagement through regular chewing balances facial muscles, sharpens your jawline, and enhances overall facial structure.
