Consult your doctor or dermatologist before trying hydrogen peroxide for your acne. Many experts don't recommend using hydrogen peroxide for acne due to its irritating and drying potential. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a chemical which can act as both a bleach and a disinfectant. Our bodies actually produce small quantities of hydrogen peroxide to help attract white blood cells to areas where there's an infection. Because of its disinfectant abilities, hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria. But it isn't selective in what bacteria it kills, and our bodies contain a lot of necessary and healthy bacteria. You can use hydrogen peroxide to clear acne using one of two methods: in a cream, which contains a concentration of up to 1% hydrogen peroxide; and in "pure" liquid form, which should contain no more than a 3% concentration. Hydrogen peroxide can come in concentrations higher than 3%, but those higher concentrations should never be used on your skin. Hydrogen peroxide in a 3% concentration can almost always be found in a drugstore, near the first aid supplies. If you are only able to find hydrogen peroxide in larger concentrations (normally 35%) you will need to dilute it with water before using it on your face. To dilute a 35% concentration to 3%, you'll need 11 parts of water for every one part of hydrogen peroxide. If you use the cream version, follow the instructions on the package as to how to apply it to your face, and how often. If you have acne, this should include using a gentle soap and only your hands not cloths or brushes. Wash your face using warm water to help open the pores before cleansing and using the hydrogen peroxide. Dry your face completely before applying the hydrogen peroxide. Dry skin will absorb the hydrogen peroxide better than wet skin. Use a cotton pad, cotton ball or even a Q-Tip, soak it in the hydrogen peroxide, and move it over the affected areas of your skin. Do not apply it to unaffected areas. Leave it to soak into your skin for 5-7 minutes. Try out a small amount on a small area of your skin before putting it over larger areas to make sure your skin can tolerate it and that it doesn't cause too much irritation. And if it is too irritating to your skin, talk to your doctor about a different option. Do not apply hydrogen peroxide to the skin more than once a day. After the hydrogen peroxide has soaked into your skin, gently apply a high-quality, oil-free facial moisturizer. One of the reasons that hydrogen peroxide works on acne is because it helps dry up the excess oil on your skin. A moisturizer helps ensure you do not completely dry out your skin and keeps your skin soft and smooth.

Summary: Talk to your doctor first. Obtain the proper kind of hydrogen peroxide. Wash your face using your normal daily routine. Apply the hydrogen peroxide to your clean skin. Apply oil-free moisturizer.

A mix of 3 parts peat moss, 1 part perlite, and 1 part compost will keep the soil well-drained while also retaining water for your ficus. Adding the compost into the pot will add nutrients to the mix as well. You can also use a well-draining potting soil if a soilless growing medium is unavailable. Overwatering is just as detrimental as under-watering a ficus. Both can cause the leaves on your tree to drop. Pour just enough water into the pot to seep through the drainage holes at the bottom. If the leaves fold easily, you may have overwatered your ficus. If the leaves are crinkly to the touch, they may be under-watered. Water less in the winter since there is less sun and temperatures are colder. Fertilizer will promote your vegetation to grow throughout the season. The fertilizer should be diluted to half strength so it is not overpowering or harmful to your ficus. Follow the directions on the package to determine the amount of fertilizer to use with your size plant. When the days are shorter through the late fall and winter, don't fertilize your plant.

Summary: Use a soilless growing medium if possible. Water your ficus when the soil is dry 2 inches (5.1cm) down. Apply fertilizer once a month between April and September.

It's the map icon labeled "Google Maps." You'll usually find it on the home screen. If you haven't yet enabled location services or calibrated the compass, you should do so before you continue. In addition to GPS/the compass, Google Maps can also use Wi-Fi and local cell towers to find your location. For the most accurate results, connect to Wi-Fi and/or your cellular data network. It's on the right side of the map, toward the bottom. Look for a solid gray dot surrounded by a gray circle with 4 directional points. The map will re-center to display your current location as a blue dot surrounded by a lighter blue circle. Within the lighter blue circle is a darker blue beam. This beam is aimed in the direction your phone or tablet is pointing. If the blue dot doesn't appear or is gray, Google Maps cannot find your location. Make sure location services are enabled, and that you're connected to either a Wi-Fi or data network. If the location of the blue dot is incorrect, it could be due to physical obstructions between you and cellular towers (such as tall buildings or structures). You may also need to restart your phone or tablet.

Summary: Open Google Maps on your iPhone or iPad. Tap the location icon. Troubleshoot location issues.

Gouges can be used to carve into wood or to remove wood around a design to bring the design into relief. Gouges have curved points and long handles, but they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Pick a couple that will work for your project. There are 8 standards of degrees to the curves of gouge chisels. These vary from a very slight curve to a chisel tip the is a half circle. Each curve also comes in a variety of widths, so you will have a wide variety of chisels to choose from. Use clamps or a vise to hold it to a strong work surface, such as a workbench. Using gouges can create a lot of force, so make sure that the wood is really secure when pushed from a variety of directions. Place the forefinger of your less dominant hand near the sharp end of the chisel and the rest of the hand at the place where the metal blade meets the handle. This will give you control over where the tip moves as you push it. Your other hand should be back on the handle, so that you can use its strength to push through the wood. As you push with your dominant hand, direct the tool with your less dominant hand. It will take practice to master how to move the chisel to get the effect you want. Moving the gouge across the grain risks damaging the wood and chipping out areas that you don't want removed. As you practice and become more skilled with the gouge, the way you should move the tool across the wood will become more natural. To identify the grain, look closely at the wood. Look for lines going across the wood. These are the grain lines and you should move the gouge with them or across the very end of them. Gouges are versatile chisels that can make a wide variety of cuts. Play with your gouges to make patterns and remove wood in any shape you like. For deep cuts, you can even hold the gouge perpendicular to the wood and hit the handle sharply with a mallet. Repeat your action, change the size of your gouge as needed for the design, and sharpen blades as required until your project is complete.
Summary: Use a gouge for fine woodwork, such as carving or sculpting. Firmly attach your wood to a solid surface. Hold the gouge with both hands and push it though the wood. Push the gouge with the grain of the wood or across the end grain. Raise, lower, or turn the handle to achieve the desired effect.
