Article: Simply combine equal parts sugar and olive oil to make the scrub. If you have access to unprocessed, unbleached organic fine grain sugar, use this in the scrub as it will be less likely to irritate your skin. Raw sugars that have large grains will likely be too rough on your skin. Wash your skin with a clean washcloth and clean hands, using warm water. The washcloth should be as soft as possible to prevent irritation; many dermatologists recommend a muslin washcloth. If your skin is sweaty or dirty, wash it with a gentle cleanser instead of just water and a washcloth. If you're wearing makeup and want to exfoliate your face, remove the makeup with a cold cream after you wash your face. Use a headband or hair elastic to keep your hair out of your face if you're washing your face. Once your skin is wet, apply the scrub with your fingers, rubbing it in gentle circles to exfoliate the skin. In areas where the skin is less delicate, you can scrub more vigorously, but pay close attention to how your skin feels and how it is reacting to the scrubbing. If your skin feels irritated, or begins to redden, stop scrubbing immediately as your skin may be having a reaction. Always moisturize your skin after exfoliating. Be sure to choose a moisturizer for your skin type, whether that may be dry, oily, or a combination. Apply it gently with clean hands.

Article: There are a number of ways to turn, but one of the simplest is to lift one ski just off of the snow. This will turn your body in that direction. So if you want to turn to the left, slightly lift your left ski. If you want to turn right, slightly lift your right ski. Also turn by twisting your hips in the direction you want to go. Twisting your hips will turn your skis in the direction you want to go. You can also try pushing down harder on the ski opposite to the direction you want to turn. To turn left, push down on the right-side ski, and the edges of your skis will turn you. The simplest stopping technique is the wedge or snowplow method. Turn the front tips of your skis so they are close together, and the back tips are far away from each other, a shape like a slice of pizza or a wedge. To stop completely, get the back of your skis as far apart as you can without having the front tips touching each other. Point your toes toward each other gradually. If you point your toes together with a quick movement you are likely to throw off your balance. Practice stopping from slow speeds until you get the hang of it. How early you slow down depends on how long the hill is and how fast you are going. For small hills, you should slow down in the last 20 yards or so. On larger hills at higher speeds, look to slow down in the last 20% of the hill. Doing online research is great, but nothing beats having an instructor to give you specific instruction and feedback. Sign up for lessons before you get to the ski resort or ask about beginner classes when you arrive. You may have the option of group classes with other beginners or private lessons, which usually cost more.

Turn by lifting the ski on the side you want to turn toward. Stop by pointing your toes toward each other. Take a ski lesson.
Article: Many gut noises don't result from intestinal conditions but instead arise from having too much gas or air in the digestive system. This is a problem that is relatively easy to correct. One simple solution is to slow down your eating. When you eat too quickly, you swallow a lot of air. This results in bubbles that create embarrassing gut noises as they move around your digestive system. Chewing gum has a similar effect to eating too quickly. It makes you swallow air as you chew it. If you're having gut noises, spit out the gum. Bubbly beverages like soda, beer, and and carbonated water can also lead to gurgling sounds in your gut. These drinks are pumped full of gas, which then makes its way into your digestive system. Carbohydrates and especially refined sugars can produce a lot of gas when digested. Steer clear of sugary and starchy foods, as well as excess fat. Even otherwise healthy foods such as fruit juices (especially apple and pear) can produce this effect due to their high sugar content. Fat does not cause gas on it's own, but can lead to bloating, which can place pressure on your intestines and worsen the problem. Everyone knows smoking is bad for you, but you may not have known it can lead to embarrassing gut noises. Smoking, like gum chewing or eating too fast, can also result in the swallowing of air. If you smoke, consider quitting. If you can't or don't want to quit, at least avoid smoking before any situation in which gut noises might cause you embarrassment. If you suffer from frequent gas problems, you may want to consider a medication that targets this problem. A number of pills are available that can help your body digest the foods that cause gas. You can find these at any drug store. Talk to your doctor or a pharmacist for recommendations.

Eat slowly. Spit out your gum. Avoid bubbles. Lay off the carbs and fat. Don't smoke. Consider medication.
