Problem: Article: The ingredients in your makeup may be contributing to your dry skin problem. If you can go without makeup, that would be best, but if you don't want to stop wearing it, consider switching to oil-based makeup that doesn't contain alcohol and other harsh ingredients. Look for makeup composed of ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, almond oil, beeswax, and other all-natural items that won't dry out your skin - in fact they'll nourish it. The sun's rays can dry out your skin. Once the healthy glow fades, the skin begins to flake and fall off. A certain amount of sun is a good thing, but it's important to protect yourself from getting burned. As someone with dry skin, however, you need to watch what ingredients your sunscreen contains. Alcohols and other chemicals can dry out your skin, so look for all-natural sunscreens. Consider wearing a hat instead of sunscreen, or doubling up and wearing both. It's the old-fashioned way to protect your face from the sun, and it works. After sun exposure, moisturize your skin right away with aloe and other rich moisturizers. The items you ingest have a big impact on the health of your skin. If you want your skin to look hydrated, healthy and glowing, adopt the following good habits. Not only will your facial skin look better, but your whole body will also feel healthier: Drink a lot of water. If you're dehydrated, it'll show up in your skin. Eat vitamin-rich foods, especially healthy fats like omega-3 fatty acids. These are found in fish, fish oil, avocados, and nuts. Don't smoke, drink too much alcohol or take drugs. Tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs have a big effect on your skin. They can dry it out and make it look older than your true age. Cut back on these products for healthier skin.
Summary: Examine your makeup routine. Protect your face from the sun. Be healthy from the inside out.

Problem: Article: If not melted, stir, then heat for another ten seconds. If not melted enough, melt for another 10 seconds. Try to be quick, the chocolate hardens fast! Return to the heat to re-melt if the chocolate hardens too quickly. Alternatively, place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Problem: Article: The meat gets hot enough that it continues cooking even after it is taken out of the oven. Plan on taking it out when it is 5 to 10 degrees below the desired internal temperature. This way, you get the exact doneness you want in your meat. For example, if you want a medium-rare roast, remove the roast from the oven at the 135F (57C) mark. The additional waiting time is needed for the roast to cook up to the proper temperature. It also allows the juices to seal inside the meat. Instead of getting a bloody mess, you get a juicier piece of meat when you finally cut the roast.
Summary: Take the roast out of the oven before it finishes cooking. Allow the roast to rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Problem: Article: Talking with your partner and expressing how you feel is the best way to let your partner know that you are not ready to have sex. A truly caring partner will listen to your concerns and respect your wishes and how you feel. If you are uncomfortable with having sex, the only way your partner is going to know about your discomfort is if you tell your partner that you are not ready or don't want to. If you feel uncomfortable expressing this to your partner, you can seek out counseling from your school counselor. You can also seek advice from your parents. A good partner will be open to hearing your feelings and thoughts regarding sex. If your partner doesn't want to listen to your stance on sex, you may need to reevaluate your relationship. Your partner may try to convince you that having sex is the best option and it's something you should want. Avoid giving into anything she might say or do, standing firm in your choice to not have sex. When it comes to having sex, always listen to your own thoughts and feelings first. If you are not comfortable with having sex, then you need to honor your feelings. Although you may care for your partner's needs, never compromise your own to meet hers. Being pressured into having sex can be a sign that your partner doesn't respect your own needs. You don't need to prove your love to your partner by having sex with her. In fact, having sex won't likely prove anything at all. Setting clear boundaries with what you are and are not comfortable with can go a long way in avoiding future issues. Talk with your partner and let him know what is acceptable and what isn't. Making your boundaries clear can help you and your partner feel more comfortable and have a better relationship. Be aware, too, that it's okay if you're not entirely sure of your boundaries. Just communicate this to your partner and if your partner does something you aren't comfortable with, tell him to stop. Be as clear as possible with your boundaries. Never accept your partner pushing or trying to go beyond your boundaries. It's okay to change your mind. If you are doing something and decide you're not comfortable with it or you don't want to do it anymore, you can tell your partner to stop. It may be the case that your partner isn't listening to you when you say that you aren't ready for sex. She may try to continue pressuring you into sex or continue bringing it up. A partner who isn't respecting your needs, feelings, and concerns might not be such a great partner after all. The relationship might have to end if your partner isn't listening when you say "no" to sex. Your relationship may be unhealthy if your partner won't respect your decision to not have sex. Your own values and needs are more important than the relationship continuing. You deserve someone who will respect your choice when it comes to not having sex. There are a few common ideas that your partner may use to try and convince you to have sex. These ideas can range from comparing your relationship to others all the way up to emotional blackmail. Knowing how to respond to these tactics can help you be prepared and stand strong in your decision to abstain from having sex. Take a look at the following sample dialogue to learn some of the more common persuasion tactics: "If you really loved me, you'd have sex with me." This is emotional blackmail and is a serious sign of disrespect from your partner. You might reply by saying "If you really loved me, you'd respect my choice to not have sex." "If you don't have sex with me, someone else will." A statement like this reveals that your partner cares more about sex than he does for you. You might say "I'm sorry you feel that way. I hope you find someone else then." "Everyone else is having sex." Many teens are actually not having sex, choosing to wait until later in life. You might reply with "Well, our relationship isn't everyone else's. I'm going to do what's right for me."
Summary:
Talk with your partner. Don't give in to pressure. Make yourself clear. Break up if necessary. Think about responses.
