Find a tub or basin large enough for your blanket to fit in and fill it up with cool water. Mix in mild detergent and let it spread through the water. You'll essentially be doing the same thing as a washing machine on a gentle setting, only manually, which gives you greater control over how the blanket is treated and helps ensure that every part gets clean. Don't fill the tub up too much or it may overflow when you put the blanket in. Using soft, kneading strokes, drag the blanket back and forth in the soapy water. It's best to take hold of one section of the blanket for a few passes, then smooth it out and wash a new section. Do this until the blanket has been cleaned thoroughly. Take the blanket out of the tub and let the saturated water run out. Fold the blanket in half two or three times and then use both hands to apply pressure to the blanket, squeezing out excess water. Pressing the blanket is a safer alternative to wringing it out, which can stretch the fabric out of shape. Give the blanket another quick wash in some plain cool water. This will rinse away any detergent that might have soaked into the blanket. Swish the blanket through the water, touching each section individually. Make sure there are no traces of soap remaining on the blanket. Drain and refill the tub with fresh water until it remains clear after rinsing. You may need to do this several times. Make sure you hand wash delicate fabrics like wool, silk and linens. These fabrics are woven from natural fibers and may be irreparably damaged if treated with harsh washing methods.

Q: It might seem like common sense to wear white underwear with white skirts, but this combination will actually make your underwear more visible. Instead, you should wear underwear that matches your skin tone, be it light, medium, or dark. Just because a pair of underwear is labeled "nude," does not mean that it will match your skin tone. If you are very pale, ivory or cream may work better. If you have dark skin, brown might be a better choice. You'll have better luck finding the color you need online or in a store that specializes in undergarments and lingerie. This includes skirts made from tulle, chiffon, lace, and thin cotton. If you can see your legs through the skirt, you should wear a slip under it. Match the slip to your skin color or to the skirt color. If you are wearing a lace skirt, consider pairing it with a slip in a contrasting color for a more unique look. You can also wear slips under clingy skirts to reduce static. Look for a pair of underwear that does not have any side seams. The waist and leg holes won't have elastic sewn into them, which will give you a smoother silhouette. They are typically made from smooth jersey or spandex, and you can find them online and in stores that specialize in undergarments and lingerie. As with regular underwear, match the color of the seamless underwear to your skin tone if you are wearing a white or light-colored skirt. T-shirt skirts and skirts made from jersey should be paired with seamless thongs to further reduce pantie lines. If you are worried about flashing your underwear while wearing a short skirt, spandex shorts are a great solution. Match the color of the shorts to the skirt, and make sure that they are shorter than the skirt. You can also wear shorts or leggings under longer skirts in the winter to keep warm. Another option would be "boy short" style underwear. They have cuffs that cover the thighs and offer more coverage than regular underwear If the spandex shorts are too long, fold the legs inwards until they are the right length. You can also try cutting them. Since the material is knitted, it should not fray. This will help smooth down the front of your belly and give you a streamlined silhouette. They are a great idea, even for those who already have a slender figure with a flat stomach because they will help the fabric lay more smoothly. They are great for pencil skirts!
A: Wear skin-toned underwear with white or light-colored skirts. Wear a slip if the material is very sheer or thin. Wear seamless underwear if your skirt is fitted. Wear spandex shorts under mini skirts. Invest in some shapewear for fitted, high-waisted shirts.

Article: The most common way to use olive oil to remove scars is to simply massage it into your skin. Use only a drop or so of olive oil and apply it to troublesome areas. Move your finger tips in small circles to massage the oil into scarred skin. Use deep pressure and massage for 4 to 5 minutes. Once your skin's pores absorb some of the olive oil, use a clean paper towel to wipe the excess oil off your skin. Repeat this process again. When you finish for the second time, let the oil sit on your skin for 15 to 20 minutes. Do this twice a day and see if you see any improvement. If you're mainly worried about scars on your face, you can try using a facial steam to clear your skin. Facial steams are fairly easy to do at home with only a few supplies and they work by opening the pores to release sweat and debris. This can help the overall health of skin and lessen the appearance of scars. Put a pot of water on the stove and wait for it to steam. Do not allow the water to get so hot it's boiling, however, as this can burn your skin. Just wait until it's producing steam. Add a few drops of olive oil to the water and stir. Wrap a towel around your head and lean over the pot. Keep your face about 18 inches away from the water. Any closer could cause discomfort. Stand over the steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Then, remove the towel and wipe off your face, neck, and shoulders. You can make a scrub using olive oil to exfoliate your skin. This can remove the dead skin cells that cause scars, resulting in smoother looking skin. Mix a tablespoon of baking soda with a tablespoon of olive oil. Rub this onto your skin using your fingertips, paying special attention to any acne scars. Rub for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then, use a wet cloth to wipe the mixture from your face.
