In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some people are especially sensitive to scents and sprays, and too much scent can be overwhelming. Apply just a single spray or a few dabs. If you feel that your date may be sensitive to your perfume, ask them about it before the date. Say something like, "would it be alright if I wear some perfume for the date?" or "would you mind if I put on some cologne?" Deodorant is always a good idea, but be careful not to over-apply that either, especially if it is fragranced. Even if you have extremely dry skin, consider skipping an application right before your big date. First dates are always a bit nerve-wracking, and you'll likely be sweaty until you feel settled. By avoiding moisturizer for the date, you can avoid unwanted shine. Alternatively, consider wearing an anti-sweat or anti-shine makeup setting spray. You can also apply a light dusting of setting powder before you head out. Choosing a few simple pieces to accentuate your outfit (if you're going somewhere fancy) is appropriate. If you're drowning in jewelry, your date might feel distracted by it. Another reason to avoid excessive jewelry is that it might get in the way. Depending on where you are going, you might also become a target for theft. This is especially important if you are meeting someone you met online. Even if a tan would look good on you, you want to be an accurate representation of the photo you posted. If you had long hair in your photo, then keep it long for the date! Another reason to avoid tans and haircuts before dates is that they can go wrong. If you end up with a bad tan or haircut, you may not have enough time to fix it. Sometimes, a hair cut may be a good option. For example, if your hair looks unruly and messy, a good trim may help eliminate split ends and get your hair back into shape.
Summary: Don't use too much perfume or cologne. Skip the moisturizer. Don't wear too much jewelry. Don't get a tan or a drastic haircut right before your date.

Before applying makeup in the morning, wash your face so you'll be able to start with a fresh canvas. Use a cleanser or simply splash lukewarm water on your face a few times to wash away any debris on your skin. Pat it dry gently with a soft towel. Avoid washing your face with hot water. This will dry it out and leave it prone to irritation. Lukewarm water is best when you're washing your face. Don't scrub your face dry. This causes fragile facial skin to loosen over time. . It's not necessary to exfoliate every day, but doing so every few days is essential to keeping your skin looking fresh. Putting makeup on over dry, flaky skin defeats the purpose! Exfoliate your skin using either a small facial brush, an exfoliating scrub, or another exfoliating tool designed for use on the face. Focus on areas that tend to get dry and flaky. Using a face mask from time to time is another good way to keep your facial skin in good shape. Choose a clay mask, which will cleanse your pores and help pull off dry skin when you wash it away.
