article: You can buy sand in hardware stores, art stores, and in aquarium-supply stores. If you already have access to sand, you can use that instead, as long as it is light enough. Try to get the lightest color of sand you can find; white would be the best because it will allow the colors to show up better. You can use this method to tint sand at the beach and make brightly colored sandcastles with it. If you don't want to wait that long, you can dry the sand in a preheated oven at 200F (93C) for 5 to 10 minutes. When the sand is almost dry, take it out of the oven and let it finish air-drying for a few hours. Don't let the sand dry completely in the oven. If you do, the color may fade. Do not bake sand that's been colored with liquid watercolor.

article: Like women, the female guppy will get larger, as if it's being inflated. Sometimes this can just be bloating and not pregnancy. But if you monitor your guppy's belly for several weeks and it continues to get bigger over time, your guppy is probably pregnant. Your female guppy is getting close to delivery time when the she is very large and has a boxy appearance. It takes about a month for the fry to be ready for birth. It'll take a couple weeks for a gravid spot (a spot near the butt of the guppy) to appear darker. When it does darken, this will prove that your guppy is pregnant. It may be orange or dark in the beginning, but through the pregnancy it can change between these two. You can tell that your guppy is very close to having the babies when you can see little dots (the baby guppies' eyes) in the gravid spot. Another major sign that your guppy is in labor is the appearance of body contractions. This will look like a tightening of the muscles on the surface of your guppy's body and then they will become looser. This process may repeat itself many times during labor tightening muscles, then becoming more relaxed.

Consider steroid injections for cystic acne. Consider isotretinoin for severe acne. Look into laser treatments for acne."
article:
Face washes and topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, or resorcinol acid are all effective acne-fighters and are available over-the-counter. You may find products targeted specifically at treating body acne, which may be more effective than products meant to be used on your face. Just make sure you don't forget and use the body product on the delicate skin of your face or the front of your neck. Retinoid creams can help to unclog your pores and eliminate acne on your neck, but you will need to get a prescription from your doctor or dermatologist. Your doctor may prescribe a prescription-strength topical antibiotic, such as clindamycin, to apply to your neck, which kills acne-causing bacteria. It may also reduce redness. You will need to apply it twice daily and combine it with benzoyl peroxide, as this prevents the bacteria from becoming immune to the antibiotic. Oral contraceptives can help to reduce acne in some women, but only if the acne is related to shifts in your hormones. Keep in mind that oral contraceptives have side effects and they should not be used if you are planning to become pregnant. If your dermatologist determines that the acne on the back of your neck is a nodular or cystic lesion, your doctor may decide to inject the lesion directly with a steroid. This can quickly reduce swelling and heal the acne. It may also reduce scarring. Side effects of this treatment include thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity to light, and may temporarily case the fat under your skin to atrophy, giving the area a "sunken" appearance. Isotretinoin is a strong medicine that should only be used if other methods of controlling acne fail to work. Isotretinoin can clear up severe acne in a couple of months, but it also has some severe risks including: Ulcerative colitis Liver damage Inflammatory bowel disease Depression Bone changes Severe birth defects Laser treatments can also help to get rid of acne by reducing the size of oil glands and making them less active as well. Some forms of laser therapy also use topical medicine to make the laser more effective. Keep in mind that you will need multiple treatments in order for laser therapy to work.
