How often should this exercise: dumbbell lateral raises are great for working the front of your shoulders and can be performed with any shoulder training, divided by the exercise try using dumbbells cable 1 week then the next.

When should this exercise: I personally second this exercise and third on my shoulder workout day, but it can always be done during your shoulder workout

How to Exercise: Standing shoulder width with your feet apart and knees slightly bent and held the two dumbbells at sides, palms inward, keeping a slight bend in the elbow. At the starting position can be either the weights at your side or just before it (which ever feels most comfortable).

Lift both weights together until your upper arms are parallel with the ground, hold the weight for about ½ second at the top to really contract the upper arm, then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat.

Mentality: Like all exercises that you must use full concentration to profit. Just make sure that your knees slightly bent, as it relieves the back. To ensure that this exercise correctly, look in a mirror.
