Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pluck the ingrown hair when you're able to. Treat the irritated skin. Get antibiotics.

Answer: Ingrown hairs can lead to an infection, but at the very least they look bad and can become very tender or uncomfortable. This is especially troubling when they appear in noticeable places on your face. Ingrown hairs need to come out. Once you notice an ingrown hair, stop shaving or waxing the area at once so that the hair has an opportunity to grow for a little bit. You should never break the skin or dig into it in order to reach an ingrown hair. Instead, you should let it come to the surface on its own so you don't do more damage to your skin. The safest way to extract an ingrown hair is by pulling it out with tweezers. However, you have to wait for the hair to reach the surface on its own before you can do so. Apply a hot compress to the area a couple of times a day to encourage the hair to reach the surface. Sometimes the worst part about an ingrown hair is how it looks, especially when it is on your face for the whole world to see. Ingrown hairs can really irritate and damage healthy skin. Treat the damaged skin with some soothing aloe vera or a gentle moisturizer. In rare cases, you may need to go see your doctor for some antibiotics if your ingrown facial hair becomes infected. Since the ingrown hair creates an opening in your skin, it is possible for bacteria to seep into the hole and cause an infection. Whenever you have an ingrown hair, you should be vigilant in watching for signs of redness, swelling, and discomfort that last more than a few days. If the pain and swelling does not dissipate within three to four days, call your doctor and tell them about your symptoms.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a wax stripping product to remove a mirror shine. Spray the item with rubbing alcohol to create a dull, weathered look. Apply acetone nail polish remover to remove color and shine.

Answer: A mirror shine is an ultra-glossy finish on leather. It is a common finish on dress shoes. If you have a pair of shoes or other leather item that has a wax mirror shine on it, then you might need to purchase a special product to get the wax off. Purchase a bottle of leather wax remover in the shoe department of a store or online. Apply the product to a rag or soft cloth and wipe it over the surface of the leather. Continue to apply and wipe the surface until the mirror glaze is completely gone. Mirror glaze can be difficult to remove. Press hard as you wipe down the surface of the leather item. Fill an empty spray bottle about 1/4 to 1/2 full with rubbing alcohol. Then, spray a light layer of alcohol all over your leather item. Apply enough alcohol so that the item is damp but not drenched. Allow the alcohol to dry completely to give your leather a dull, weathered look. You can also use a toothbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol to apply it to hard-to-reach spots. Alcohol dries quickly, so you should notice the effect within 5 minutes of applying the product. Acetone nail polish remover can lighten or even remove the dyes used to color your leather. Pour a small amount of acetone nail polish remover onto a cotton ball or soft cloth, and rub the cotton ball or cloth over any spots you want to lighten. Focus on areas that might naturally fade first, such as the bottom corners of bags or the elbow creases of jackets. This technique will work differently depending on the quality and color of the dye. You may not be able to completely remove the color on a dark leather item.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take care of your physical health. Start a gratitude journal. Nourish your support system.

Answer: Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and quality sleep all contribute to a greater sense of overall wellbeing, increased resilience, and higher self-esteem. Adopt a healthy lifestyle to better cope with current adversity and inoculate yourself against future adversity. Always start new exercise routines gradually to prevent injury and speak with your doctor first. Regularly acknowledging all you have to be grateful for will promote an ongoing positive perspective. A positive attitude will help you tackle future problems and prevent you from feeling overwhelmed. Spend 10-15 minutes a day thinking about what you're grateful for. Having people to turn to in your times of adversity will provide comfort and support. Developing a support system before you are in need will make it easier to engage those resources when the time comes. Pay frequent attention to friends and family to keep those relationships healthy. Schedule regular phone calls and dates to maintain and strengthen connections.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand what makes people cling. Reflect on your own history. Navigate manipulation. Be patient with your partner. Use imagery related to a healthy relationship. Evaluate if you're in a codependent relationship. Flow with the relationship.

Answer:
Often, partners cling when they fear that the person they care about is about to leave. You may subtly be spending less time together, texting or calling less often, or not be sending the same reassurance that you had previously. The fear of abandonment can kick in. While it's not your role to provide assurance, you can understand the behaviors and motivations behind clinging. If your partner starts to worry about you leaving, remind him or her while neither of you can predict the future, you are both happy now, and now is where the focus is best placed. Sometimes you choose people whom you share a great attraction, yet trigger your deepest insecurities. This can be true of your partner, too. Without you realizing it, you can trigger insecurities in your partner that have never been explored before. Realize that this may mean one person wants to pull closer or wants to pull away. While it's tempting to run, it can also be worth it to stick with it and work through the issues. Perhaps you've had clingy people in your life before (like a younger sibling or an ex) and your current partner's behavior is triggering those memories, causing you to want to run. Before you go blaming your partner, take a few moments to reflect on your own life. Have there been previous relationships when you've clung? What made you cling, and how did the other person respond to your behavior? What is it about the clinginess that upsets you, and how do you respond to it? Do you respond in anger, frustration, or distancing yourself? There's a distinction between neediness and manipulation. Manipulation often involves you giving up something for the other person. A manipulator may use weaknesses against you, blame you for things, or suggest that only you can help him or her. Especially if you tend to be a genuinely helpful person, be careful not to be taken advantage of by your partner. Ask yourself whether your partner's actions or needy or if they are manipulative. Manipulation can be punishing you when your partner doesn't get his or her way (giving the silent treatment, not performing household chores), or as extreme as threatening to hurt the self if you don't do what he or she wants. If you find yourself feeling punished when you don't comply with your partner's demands or neediness, it may be manipulation. If you feel like you are being manipulated, be careful in how you interact with your partner, especially when talking about offering help, money, or giving up something.

Your partner can't necessarily help he or she feels clingy. Remind yourself of all the things that make your partner great and that make the relationship great. Be patient and empathetic toward your partner for why he or she feels this way. Perhaps your partner has felt abandoned in the past or there are things you don't fully understand about him or her. When you feel angry or frustrated, remind yourself to be patient, loving, and gentle toward your partner and his or her emotions. If you tend to run away, imagine yourself in a secure, equally balanced relationship. If your partner tends to cling, have him or her imagine the self in an equally balanced relationship. Even imagining a safe, healthy relationship can be helpful, especially when under stress. Set aside some time with your partner for this exercise. Close your eyes and imagine what a healthy relationship looks like to you (and your partner). Imagine feeling calm, centered, and happy at the thought of this relationship. What does it feel like? What do the two of you do together, and not do together? Then, shift your attention and imagine that that is the relationship you have. When you are finished, open your eyes and discuss. Often there's something about the relationship that's beneficial to both people and not just one person. So, if you have a partner that you perceive as clingy, is it possible that somehow you benefit from or play into the clinginess? Some signs of codependent relationships include an inability to find happiness outside of one person, staying with someone even though your partner has some unhealthy or destructive behaviors (like drug abuse or alcoholism). Do you find yourself giving to your partner (emotionally, physically, financially) even at the cost of your own health or well-being? Ask yourself if you give up your own needs to fulfill the needs of your partner. This can lead to short-term and long-term consequences. Ask yourself whether you are genuinely happy with your partner or if you stay with him or her based on what you'd lose if you broke up. Remember there will be times that you will be needy and times when your partner will distance from you. This is the normal flow of relationships. When you care about someone, you choose to love and support him or her during the ebbs and flows, even when it influences your life. Remind yourself that circumstances and situations can always change, and that relationships are fluid. Is your partner being clingy because of a situation or life event? If so, you may need to give your partner a momentary break and focus on being supportive. There will be times you will need extra support, too.
