When you use a scrub or a light chemical exfoliant on the skin, you are not only removing dead skin cells at the surface which may be causing a dull appearance, but you're also stimulating the blood flow in your epidermis, promoting a youthful glow.
This treatment should be done about once a week for optimal results. If you scrub too often, it may give the opposite of what you desire: saggy jowls.
The best part about exfoliants is that they're easy to make at home, unlike the best neck creams and cleansers.
For example, you can take a few teaspoons of sugar and mix them with olive oil for the most simple, instant exfoliator.
If you have a little more time on your hands, ground some almonds or other nut in the food processor until they are the consistency of coarse sand. Combine the ground nuts with olive oil and a tablespoon of orange juice for a gentle and fragrant scrub. The citrus juice will not only smell good, but help the nuts do their job sloughing off dead skin cells.
