INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your hair will be softer near the end of your shower, so it is better to hold off on shaving until then. To moisten the hair on your face, try washing your face with warm water first or give yourself a hot towel treatment. To give yourself a hot towel treatment, take a towel or washcloth and hold it under warm to hot running water until it is saturated. Then, wring out the excess water and place the towel over your face. Leave the towel on your face for about five minutes. Shaving cream can also help to soften up your hair and reduce the chance that an ingrown hair will form. Try leaving a layer of shaving cream on your hair for a few minutes before you start to shave. Giving yourself a close shave puts you at risk of developing ingrown hairs, so it is best to avoid using heavy pressure when you shave. Try to apply light pressure and avoid pulling your skin taut when you shave. You may have grown up shaving "against the grain," but this can cause ingrown hairs that result in pimples. Shave in the same direction as your hair grows (usually, downward) to help prevent ingrown pimples. Always use a sharp razor, and use as few strokes as possible. Electric razors may also help to reduce your chances of developing ingrown pimples. Just make sure that you do not use the close shave setting on your razor and avoid pressing the razor into your skin. You should also use your electric razor on wet skin only to reduce the chance of developing ingrown pimples. Chemical depilatory creams can also reduce the risk of ingrown pimples. Just keep in mind that these products can cause irritation as well, so it is best to test it on a small area of your skin before using it on a larger area. Make sure you choose a product that is appropriate for the area of your body that you want to use it on. For example, use only facial depilatories on your face.

SUMMARY: Shave after you shower. Use shaving cream. Apply light pressure. Shave in the direction of hair growth. Get an electric razor. Use a chemical hair remover.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can create a great deal of steam in your bathroom if you turn on your shower as hot as it will go and close the door. To fill the room, you'll want to wait at least 10 minutes so the steam has time to build. Once there is plenty of steam in the bathroom, you can set the page down so the steam can help relax its fibers. Make sure that it's not too close to the shower, though, because you don't want any moisture to develop on the paper. Check that it isn't folded or creased in any areas either. Wherever you plan to set the paper down, it's a good idea to lay down a clean towel first. It will absorb any moisture that might be on the surface from the steam, so you don't have to worry about the paper getting too wet. In order for the steam to help the paper release the wrinkles, you'll need to keep it in the bathroom for approximately 10 minutes. If the page is severely wrinkled, you may want to give it extra time -- but check on it every so often to ensure that it's not absorbing too much moisture. After the paper has been steamed, remove it from the bathroom, and place it on another flat surface. While the steam may have helped release some of the wrinkles, you should use your hand to press over it again while the paper is still relaxed from the steam. Be gentle, though, because you don't want to tear or damage the page. You may want to cover your hand in a clean hand towel before smoothing the paper. That will help protect it from any dirt, oils, or other debris that might be on your skin. Even if you manage to smooth most of the wrinkles out of the paper, you may want to place the paper under a heavy weight for several hours to a day in order to further press it.

SUMMARY:
Turn on the shower. Set the paper on a flat surface. Let it sit. Smooth out the wrinkles with hand.
