Article: When working with electricity or wiring, you should always cut power to the area before you touch anything else. Locate the circuit breaker box in your home and turn off the power to the room or area your fan will be installed in. Some homes will have multiple breaker boxes, with one main and several sub-breaker boxes in different places. If you have multiple breaker boxes, turn off power at the sub-breaker box and the main box before beginning work. Use a ladder or step-ladder to safely climb up towards the roof to give you access the fixtures. Hold the fixture in place with one hand as you remove any screws securing it to the roof. Once they have been taken out, the old fixture should be able to detach from the ceiling. If there is no fitting where you want to install your new ceiling fan, you should call a licensed electrician to install one for you. You will need to run wiring through your walls, which is very difficult to do and can be very dangerous if done wrong. If you cannot hold the fixture in place while you remove the screws, get somebody else to help. This will reduce the chance of the fixture falling from the ceiling and make it easier to unscrew. Locate the point where the wires from the fixture are held to the wires coming from the ceiling with plastic connectors. Ensure the fixture is supported by something other than the wires and begin unscrewing and removing each plastic connector. Once disconnected, lower the fixture from your ceiling and discard it or store it somewhere safe for future use. Do not cut any wires or attempt to rewire anything in your ceiling without help from a licensed electrician. If the wiring is different than you anticipated, stop immediately and call a professional to help. Always make sure something is supporting any fixtures you remove or install as you work on them. Don't let the fixture be held up only by wires, as this may damage them. Ask a friend to help if you need them. The ceiling box is a circular metal fitting that other fixtures attach to. Look for any screws or nails holding the old ceiling box in place and remove them. Push the circuit box further into the ceiling, or attempt to pry it out to remove it. If you can access the space above the ceiling box and get a better look at it, it may be easier to remove. If not, use a flashlight to look at it from below and work out the easiest way to remove it. Few standard ceiling boxes will be sturdy enough to hold the weight of a spinning ceiling fan. You shouldn't use the existing ceiling box unless you are absolutely certain it is rated for a ceiling fan. If you're unsure, remove it and replace it with a new ceiling box that has a weight rating above the weight of your ceiling fan. Ask at your local hardware store or look online to find one that will be strong enough. If you're unsure whether or not your ceiling box will be able to hold your fan, look inside it for any markings or model numbers that will help identify it. Look online or ask at your local hardware store to make sure that the weight rating for your box is more than the weight of your fan. Some ceiling boxes will have cable clamps that secure the wiring in place. If you notice a metal fixture tightly holding the wiring, look for a screw on the fixture's side. Loosen this screw and slip the cable clamp over the end of the wiring to remove it.

Turn the electricity off at the circuit breaker box. Remove any screws holding the old fixture in place. Disconnect the wires from the old electrical fixture. Remove the old ceiling box.
Article: Dermatologists are experts on skin, nails, and hair diseases; they can let you know if you have any skin conditions that would require treatment. Your primary care doctor can recommend a dermatologist to you, or you can find one online. The American Academy of Dermatology is also a good resource, helping to match people with dermatologists in their area. Exfoliation removes the top layer of dead skin cells from your face. If you have acne, open cuts, or burnt skin, consult a dermatologist before trying an exfoliation treatment. Look for board-certified dermatologists. This certification indicates that they have completed medical school, have undergone a three-year residency in dermatology, and have passed an exam through the American Board of Dermatology. If you experienced discomfort when you tried to exfoliate, let your dermatologist know. If you have a rash, blemish, or bump that isn't going away, bring this up during your appointment. The dermatologist can also let you know if any moles that you may have look troubling. Bring information about your medical history to your appointment, including any allergies you may have or medications that you have been using. Be prepared with a pen and notepad so that you can take note of the doctor's advice. For extreme cases, your dermatologist may suggest a chemical peel for exfoliation. High pH levels in chemical peels can help prevent skin irritation and tissue damage, along with making moisturizers and anti-aging treatments more effective.
