For Flabbiness Under the Chin

For flabbiness under the chin, which may go on to form that ugly disfigurement, a double chin, tap it repeatedly for two or three minutes several times a day with the back of the fingers. The back of the fingers should be tapped lightly against the flesh so as to stimulate the circulation, and tighten up the muscles.
