1. Hot Towel Treatment
One of the ways to reduce cheek fat is to give yourself a nice relaxing hot towel treatment. The treatment utilizes both steam and contact heat to help to make an immediate impact on your face. This can be done simply and easily by boiling some water, allowing it to cool slightly, soaking a small towel in it and applying it to your face. The heat and steam in from the towel will encourage sweating and stimulate the burning of fat.
2. Blow Balloons
It’s been proven that blowing a balloon can be a great form of exercise for the cheek area in particular! It works the muscles in your cheeks unlike any other activity. Repeat inhaling and exhaling the air out at least 10 times, maybe twice a day, and you will definitely start to feel some differences in your cheek area. The perfect exercise for when you are preparing for a party!
