How to Exfoliate the Cheeks, Chin and Neck

We all shed dead skin that can cause our skin to look dull, create clogged pores and aggrevate acne. Exfoliation can help brighten the skin and promote circulation. Your cheeks, chin and neck are areas that benefit from daily exfoliation. Use a liquid or cream based exfoliant that's made specifically for the face.

Instructions

1. Wash your face with a mild facial cleanser and warm water. Remove any makeup that remains on your cheeks, chin and neck.

2. Apply exfoliant to your face while it's still wet. Focus on covering the cheeks, chin and neck.

3. Move your hands in a circular motion over the areas to exfoliate. Apply gentle pressure to ensure the exfoliant is worked into your skin.

4. Leave the exfoliant on your face for a few minutes to allow it to penetrate your skin before completing the process.

5. Wipe the exfolation cream off of your cheeks, chin and neck using a warm, damp washcloth. Use gentle circular motion to remove the exfoliant and all of it's particles.

6. Splash cool water onto your face and pat dry with a towel. Apply facial moisturizer to protect the exfoliated skin and complete the process.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose an exfoliant for your face that uses gentle ingredients such as sugar, oatmeal or other grains to maintain the skin's elasticity and firmness.

• Avoid using the sort of facial scrub that contains nut shells or other sharp particles. These ingredients can actually create tiny tears in your skin, leaving you prone to infection and scarring.
