Article: Facial wipes can be filled with chemicals and preservatives that can be harmful to your skin. When shopping for facial wipes, read through the ingredients and select wipes that do not contain formaldehyde-releasing chemicals. These chemicals, such as 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol, are used to increase the shelf life of the face wipes. Although these chemicals reduce the chance of bacteria build up, they can be damaging to the skin. Formaldehyde-releasing chemicals are a form of carcinogen, or cancer causing agent. Many facial wipes contain alcohol, which can leave your skin feeling tingly and dry. Select facial wipes that are gentle on the skin and alcohol free. This is especially important for people with dry and sensitive skin. For example, try Simple Eye Makeup Remover Pads. These wipes contain no harsh chemicals and are fragrance free. Alternatively you could use Eyeko, eye makeup remover, which uses olive oil to remove eye makeup without drying the skin. Some facial wipes will include fragrances that can also be damaging to your skin and cause your skin to dry out. Choose facial wipes that are fragrance free and gentle on the skin. This will help reduce the chances of skin irritation and dryness.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Check the ingredients in face wipes. Choose gentle alcohol-free wipes. Avoid facial wipes that contain added fragrances.
Article: A discussion group may have trouble just taking off on a certain topic. Move the discussion along by asking open-ended questions to get people talking about the subject. Open-ended questions are ones that require more than a "yes" or "no" answer. You can ask exploring questions to get dialogue going, such as "What do you think was meant by 'objectivity versus subjectivity'?" Challenge questions can get a debate going, such as "What assumptions is the author making? Do you think they're valid assumptions?" You can also ask questions about relationships, such as "What are the similarities between these two ideas? What are the differences?" Diagnostic questions can be helpful as well, such as "What do you think the author's motive was for this scene?" As a leader, it's your job to help all the members in the group have a say. Some members will be shyer than others, which means you need to create a space for them to speak. For instance, you could go around the group and have each person say what they think, so everyone has a chance to speak. To be effective as a leader, pay attention to how each member is reacting to what's being said. If you ignore how members are feeling, you could alienate some of the group. That includes paying attention to their nonverbal reactions. They may be saying a great deal with their body language. Take steps to address issues as you notice them. For instance, if one person gets consistently cut off by another member, you may notice they cross their arms and glare at the other person. Try to mediate the problem by asking what that person thinks, as well as encouraging members to let others finish their thoughts before speaking up. While heated discussions can be fine, make sure everyone stays on point. They should be discussing ideas, not diving into attacks on other people, whether they're attacking people in the group or not. It's best if you can take notes somewhere where everyone can see, such as on a projection screen or whiteboard. That way, you have something everyone can focus on and refer back to, as well as a record of what happened in the group. If you prefer, you can ask a volunteer to do the note-taking. If the group is functioning on its own, try not to interrupt the flow. If the discussion is on task and clipping along at a good speed, try not to stop the flow by interrupting the conversation.

Ask questions to initiate discussion. Encourage each member to speak. Maintain an awareness of individual emotions. Steer the group away from personal attacks. Keep track of what's being said. Get out of the way of a functioning group.
Article: Add cup (150 g) of sugar and cup (52 g) of fractionated coconut oil or olive oil to a medium size bowl. Use a spoon to mix the ingredients together so they're fully combined. If you don't have fractionated coconut oil, you can melt solid coconut oil in the microwave. The sugar and oil mixture should have the texture of semi-dry sand. Adjust the amounts of each ingredient accordingly if you find that the mixture is too thick or too thin. When the sugar and oil mixture has reached the proper consistency, add 15 drops of lemon essential oil to the bowl. Stir well to incorporate the essential oil throughout the scrub. If you don't have lemon essential oil, you can substitute 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of fresh lemon juice. You can also mix some lemon zest into the scrub to increase the lemon scent. When the scrub is completely mixed, carefully spoon it into a glass jar. Make sure that the container has a lid so the scrub will be airtight. Leave it next to your kitchen or bathroom sink, and scoop out a small amount to massage over your hands when they get rough. After massaging the scrub over your hands, rinse it off with warm water and pat your hands dry with a clean towel.
