Spray your Christmas tree with a cat repellant spray that you can purchase at your local pet supply store. This will deter your kitty without leaving a noticeable odor to human noses. Or, you might try a citrus spray, as cats are repelled by citrus odor too. Apple cider vinegar can also be sprayed as a cat repellant. If it's a plastic tree, a small amount of Citronella oil shaken into a bottle of water and misted on to the tree makes it smell unpleasant to the cat, but fresh and citrus-like to you. Spray some pine cones with Citronella and pile them around the base of the tree. Cats do not walk on pine cones! Pine cones also have the same effect in the base of your houseplants. You could also place orange peels under the tree to make your cat less likely to go near it. Cats also dislike the smell of rotten apples, but then you probably won't like that smell much either! Try spraying your tree with a little orange juice. Cats hate the smell of citrus, so orange juice can act as a deterrent. Slices of orange can also be used for decoration. Be sure to tape down excess wire and to make it too hard for the cat to reach the power point or where the cords join. Do not leave any wires dangling wrap wire around the base of the tree rather than having it dangling anywhere. It can also be helpful to cover exposed wires in wire covers or piping to prevent the cat from chewing them. Cords can also be coated with cat repellant sprays. Just be careful not to spray too much liquid on the electrical cords a light misting will do. Plug the tree lights into a short indoor extension cord and tape the plug into the socket with electrical tape. Simply unplug the lights from the extension cord to turn them off. Consider using cords that shut off if damaged. Always turn off Christmas tree lights when there is no responsible adult in the room to keep an eye on them. Place toys the kitty likes in the same room as the tree and place his/her scratching post reasonably near to the tree. These are the cat's things and encourage the cat to use them rather than hang around the tree. Burn your cat's extra energy by engaging in playtime. This will leave the cat with less energy to attack the tree. Keep all of the cat's water, food, and beds in a different room. This will make the cat less tempted by the tree.

The following are general guidelines, but everyone's skin is different, and you should feel free to experiment and find what works for you: Oily skin: Choose a gel-based moisturizer. Gel-based moisturizers are usually better for oily skin, as they provide essential moisture without overdoing it. Dry skin: Choose a cream-based moisturizer.

Both can trigger acne for some people. Exposure to too much sunlight can be harmful to the skin. You probably already know that it can cause skin cancer, but did you know that it can exacerbate acne? When you go outside or expect to be in the sun for a long period of time, wear some noncomedogenic sunscreen to help block out harmful rays. Noncomedogenic just means that the sunscreen will not clog your pores. Wear a hat, too. Note that many acne topical treatments can make sun damage more likely.
