Problem: Article: When washing your face, rinse your skin off with cold water. This should be done in order to close your pores and block unwanted bacteria from entering your skin and causing acne. In order to find a moisturizer that works well for you, you need to understand your skin type. Typically there are three types of skin: dry, oily, and normal/combination. Moisturizers are very important for keeping your skin balanced. If your skin is too dry it can result in the overproduction of sebum, which is produced to prevent your skin and hair from drying out. Overly dry skin, just like oily skin, can result in the development of acne. Normal/combination skin is typically characterized by an oily t-zone (the area around your forehead, nose, and chin) and drier cheeks. This requires a light moisturizer applied to specific areas. Try a little moisturizer on tougher skin, such as around the elbow area, before using it everywhere. If you have a reaction to the moisturizer it will be confined to that small portion of skin and you can look for a more sensitive moisturizer. If you use makeup, always remove the makeup before going to sleep each night. Makeup can contain harsh chemicals that may damage your skin. It can also attract dirt and clog your pores, resulting in the development of acne and pimples. As a result it is important that you remove makeup from your skin, eyes, and lips using a mild soap and water solution. This will help keep your skin fresh and blemish free, resulting in a healthier glow. Test out these natural solutions for removing makeup: Honey and baking soda: put a drop of honey on a washcloth and sprinkle with a little baking soda in order to create a natural makeup remover. Olive Oil: can be used as a makeup remover and is highly recommended for people with dry skin because it will also help to moisturize your skin. Baby wipes: are very sensitive on the skin and do not contain as many chemicals as most commercial makeup removers. This is a simple and easy way to remove makeup. It is important that you periodically exfoliate in order to remove dead skin cells and keep your skin smooth, fresh, and glowing. Try using a natural exfoliant, such as oats, orange peels, or lentil powder to remove dead skin, dust, dirt, and blackheads from your face. You should begin by exfoliating your skin once or twice a week. Then watch to see how your skin reacts. If you skin becomes red and tender you should exfoliate less and if your skin looks rough and dull you can increase your frequency of exfoliating. You should exfoliate your entire body, not just your face. This can be done in the shower using a loofah. Tougher areas such as heels can be rubbed more vigorously using a pumice stone. This will remove dead skin and buff up the new skin, giving you a healthy glow.
Summary: Find a moisturizer that works for you. Clean off any makeup before bed. Exfoliate your skin.

Problem: Article: Make sure that the attention seeker understands that you won't deal with certain behaviors. If they know that a certain activity won't get attention from you, they might stop doing it in the future. For example, if you don't want them touching you, you might tell them, "Would you mind not tapping or grabbing me when you want my attention? How about you knock on my desk if you need me." Ignore any future touching. You might also say something like, "I know you're fond of parkour, but I get nervous when you show me videos of you jumping off buildings. Please don't show me anymore." An attention seeker can quickly take up your day with their stories and needs. To help you break away, tell them at the beginning exactly how long you have to hang out or talk. When time is up, the conversation is over. For example, if they call you, you might say, "Hey, I can only talk for 15 minutes. What's up?" If you're hanging out with them, try saying something like, "Let's get lunch, but I have to leave by 2:00." Set an alarm on your phone to tell you when you need to cut off the conversation. When it goes off, it is a signal to you and the other person that the conversation has to end. Some people might overshare or post too much too on social media, like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. If these posts are annoying you, just unfriend the person or remove their posts from your feed. Posting too much on social media might be a sign that the person wants more of a human connection. If this is someone you care about, reach out to them by phone or in person, and ask them to hang out. If they post controversial material on social media, you may be tempted to leave a comment or respond. Try to resist this urge. Likewise, you can also block the person from commenting on your own posts if they continue to search for reactions there. If the attention seeker is creating too much of a burden in your life, cut off contact if possible. If this isn't possible, reduce your interactions as much as possible. For family members, you might schedule 1 phone call a month or exchange pleasantries at family events. You don't have to constantly accept their calls, however. Tell attention-seeking coworkers that you prefer only to discuss work-related matters, especially in the office. If they try to come to you with office drama, give them a time limit before returning to work.
Summary: Tell them what behavior you will and won't tolerate. Set time limits for conversations and talks. Stop following their social media accounts. Minimize contact if they are causing stress, anxiety, or annoyance.

Problem: Article: Some poetry uses rhyming words at the end of each line or every other line to create a flow. If you'd like to use rhyming in your poetry, try to insert them as you write, instead of thinking of them before you start writing. For example, a poem could use words that rhyme with the last syllable of "seen," like "clean," "mean," and "glean." Try to think of these words yourself rather than looking them up in a dictionary or online so that your poem flows better. Stressed and unstressed syllables also create rhythm in a poem. In the sentence "He'd like some pumpkin pie," "like," "pump-," and "pie" are all emphasized based on how you say them. Use language that doesn't exactly describe what you want to convey, but instead uses metaphors and similes to portray emotions, settings, and people. Similes use the words "like" and "as" to compare something, while metaphors don't. There is no limit as to how long a poem is. Some are a mere sentence long, while others are paragraphs long or even the length of a tale. It all depends on when you are satisfied with your work. Your first poem can be short. You can work your way up to longer poetry over time. When you first write something, it might not be the quality or the length that you would like. Come back to your poem after a few hours or days and take a second glance. Check for spelling mistakes, areas where writing could be tightened up, or places that need more information. Remember that you are the poet, expressing your feelings through your poems so intuition, above anything else, is key. Once you have revised your poem and you are satisfied with it, make a final draft by copying your finished poem to a clean sheet of paper. You can write it out, type it on the computer, or keep it in your notebook. If you will be submitting your poem anywhere, it is very important to make sure your final copy looks exactly how you want it to.
Summary:
Use rhyming words if you'd like your poem to have a rhythm. Write your poem using metaphors and similes. Don't feel like your poem has to be a certain length. Revise your first draft of your poem. Create a final draft of your poem.
