What I find helps with the tail tip is to wet your fingers whilst handling and gently apply the moisture to the area of stuck shed, wait a few, do it again. Eventually the skin will become soft enough to sort of 'roll' off.

With the chin, again whilst handling and like with the tail, wet one hand along the thumb and index finger area and whilst handling, gently hold around neck area, they'll naturally try to back out of it and as they do, you can apply just enough pressure so they can still move freely but you can also apply moisture to the stuck shed. As with the tail, after a few goes, the skin rolls off.

I've only had chin skin stick once so there may well be better methods, but this is what's worked for me and mine!
