Problem: Article: Wash your face every morning and every evening before bed to keep your skin clean and healthy. You should also wash your face after exercise or excessive sweating. Do not wash your face more than that, since that can strip your face of key oils and damage healthy skin cells. Be sure that you use warm or lukewarm water when you wash: hot water can dry out and damage your skin. Only use your hands and fingers to wash: do not use scratchy cloths, loofahs, or sponges. If you wear makeup, it is essential that you remove all products before bed. Leaving makeup on overnight can clog your pores and encourage the spread of unhealthy bacteria on your face. Harsh cleansers and perfumes might dry out your skin. These products are also more likely to irritate sensitive skins. Avoid products with alcohol in them, since that is a drying agent. And if you have oily skin, look for products that are noncomedogenic (or water-based instead of oil-based). Look for unscented products that are suitable for sensitive skins. Do not rub your skin after washing. Patting or blotting yourself dry will help keep your skin moisturized and healthy. Use soft towels--not harsh or scratchy cloths--to dry yourself. It might seem counterintuitive, but moisturizing is necessary in order to prevent skin blemishes and conditions. When your skin is too dry, it actually increases your skin's oil production. By keeping your skin properly moisturized, you avoid the overproduction of oils that cause blemishes. A moisturizer can also help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, though a moisturizer cannot prevent these lines from occurring. Look for a noncomedogenic moisturizer if you are prone to oily skin. By purchasing a moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher, you can kill two birds with one stone. Moisturizer is most effective when used on damp skin, fresh from washing or showering.
Summary: Wash your face twice a day. Use mild products for washing. Dry your skin with a patting motion. Moisturize after washing.

Problem: Article: After mixing together the usual amounts of lemon juice and honey, add about 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) of baking soda, stirring well to combine evenly. Gently spread the mask over your skin and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing as usual. Baking soda is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, so it will give the acne-fighting properties of the mask another boost. Make sure that you apply this mask gently since the baking soda can be too abrasive if you scrub it into your skin. Use 1/2 Tbsp (7.5 ml) of both lemon juice and honey, and mix in 1 egg white until smooth. Apply the mask to your face, let it sit for 15 minutes, and rinse with warm water. The egg white has a mild drying effect, so it can help tighten your pores and tone your skin. Note that the effect is temporary, though, and will only work in the short term. Combine 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of honey and the juice of a whole lemon. Add 2 Tbsp (30 ml) of fresh milk and 1 Tbsp (15 ml) of plain yogurt (regular or Greek). Combine the mixture until it has the consistency of lotion, then apply the mask to your face. Apply the mask in layers for best results. Wait for the first layer to dry--it should only take a few minutes--before applying the second. Continue until you've used the entire mask. Once the mask is completely on your face, wait for 10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Both milk and yogurt can help cleanse, moisturize, and soften skin.
Summary: Add baking soda. Use an egg white. Mix in milk and yogurt.

Problem: Article: There is nothing worse than getting a question marked as incorrect simply because the teacher couldn't read your handwriting. Remember that your teacher has many tests to grade, so the less time s/he has to spend grading your test, the happier s/he will be and this might reflect in his or her grading choices. For example, drawing spaghetti-line intersecting lines from column A to column B is likely to be marked down by a teacher who also has 74 other tests to mark. Similarly, print don't write; you don't want to get something marked wrong just because the teacher can't decipher your sloppy handwriting. Don't make your Ts look like Fs; spell out True and False. You might get partial credit, if you did everything right but just made a silly mistake right at the end. Partial credit is always better than no credit. So show your work as you go so your teacher can see that you know at least some of the material and got it right. This step is only useful for solving math questions on an exam. Keep a rhythm of underlining words you don't know and circling questions that you get stuck on. Never come to a complete halt you should always be writing, reading, or turning a page. The important thing is not to get frustrated and just quit. You only have a limited amount of time, so you need to make every moment count. If you struggle with a particular problem or section, skip it! You can always come back to it later. And this way you'll be making the most of your time to ensure you get through the entire test. A good rule of thumb to follow when writing an essay for an exam is the rule of three. It usually works better to discuss (or list or...) three things about the subject. Include many more and you get bogged down in too much detail. Any fewer and you are probably leaving something important out. It is important to move through the test in a way that will benefit you and make the most of the time you have. Don't just start the test and hope you finish in time. If you have both multiple choice and essay questions, do this: Read the essay questions first. Write down any notes, but, do not answer them yet. Begin answering the multiple choice questions. While you are doing so, your brain will be gathering information contained in these questions that will help you answer the essays. If needed, write brief notes that you can use later for the essays. Once you have all the multiple choice questions answered (and, you will have checked one box for each of them), then do the essay questions, beginning with the easiest. When it comes to multiple choice questions, it is always better to guess than to leave it blank. A blank answer is an automatic wrong answer, while a guess (especially an educated guess) gives you at least a chance at getting it right. Here are some tips for answering multiple choice questions: The longest answer is usually the correct answer because the correct answer requires more qualifying language to be indisputably correct than the incorrect answers. Answers that contain words like always or never are almost always incorrect because most truths don't exist as absolutes. Try eliminating one or two answers that you know for a fact are wrong. There is almost always one answer that is obviously incorrect and then another one or two that you can guess about. Eliminating wrong answers will greatly increase your chances of guessing the right answer from the remaining choices. Pay attention to the answers of surrounding questions. Even randomly generated tests tend to not repeat answers often. So, if you know the answer to number 1 is A and the answer to number 3 is also A, it is highly unlikely that the answer to number 2 will be A as well.
Summary:
Make it easy for the teacher to grade your test. Show intermediate results. Go through the test steadily. Remember the rule of three. Work strategically. Answer multiple choice questions smartly.
