INPUT ARTICLE: Article: All of the facials below are suitable for dry or sensitive skin; the two usually go hand-in-hand. Do not use all of the masks all in one day, however; they will be too much for your skin. Instead, choose a mask that you like the most. Using a fork, mash together 1 banana and 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) of honey. Spread the mask over a clean face, and wait 10 to 15 minutes. Wash the mask off with warm water. Using a fork, mash together of an avocado and 2 tablespoons (29.6ml) of honey. Spread the mask over a clean face, and wait 20 minutes. Wash the mask off with warm after when you are done. For a deluxe version of the mask, add 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) of plain yogurt and tablespoon of olive oil. The yogurt will help exfoliate and brighten your skin, while the oil will help moisturize it further. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) of yogurt, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder. Spread the mask over your face. Yogurt is naturally cooling, so it will feel gentle against your skin. Honey is moisturizing, so it will help add moisture back into your skin. Cocoa powder helps calm irritations, making it perfect for sensitive skin. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) of oatmeal with 1 tablespoon (14.8ml) of honey. Spread the mixture over your face using circular motions. Wait 30 minutes, then wash the mask with warm water. Oatmeal is naturally soothing. It is also gently exfoliating, making it suitable for dry, sensitive skin. Honey is a humectant, so it helps draw moisture back into your skin. You can also use this mask as a scrub instead. Simply massage it onto your face for a few minutes, then rinse it off. In a small bowl, combine cup (60 grams) of baking soda with 2 tablespoons (29.6ml) of coconut oil. If the scrub is still too thin, add a little bit more baking soda. Next, gently massage about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the scrub onto your face, taking care to avoid the area around the eyes. Rinse the scrub off with warm water, then splash your face afterwards with cool water. Pat your face dry with a clean towel, and store any leftover scrub in a glass jar. For fragrance, add 5 to 10 drops of your favorite essential oil; make sure that it is skin-safe first, however! If you tend to get breakouts, add 5 drops of tea tree oil. It is a natural astringent. This scrub is also suitable for dry skin due to the coconut oil.

Make a soothing cocoa-yogurt mask if you have sensitive skin. Try a honey-oatmeal mask if you have dry or sensitive skin. Try a baking soda scrub if you have sensitive skin.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: They're notorious for making people tear up when they're sliced which means they're a quick and easy way for you to start producing tears for the weepy look of the bedeviled pink eye. Onions produce a sulfur compound called syn-propanethial-S-oxide. When an onion is cut open, the compound is released into the air. When the chemical reaches your eyes, the lachrymal glands above the eyelids (responsible for the regulation of tears) produce tears to help wash away the irritating chemical. Sweet onions produce less syn-propanethial-S-oxide than other onion varieties because the sugar and high water content can abate the irritating enzymes. So if you're really looking to get the tears going, chop the pungent red or white onions instead of the sweet yellow Vidalias. If you aren't trying to get too creative with your tear production techniques, then get some eye drops from the drugstore or supermarket. Usually, directions on eye drop containers suggest only one or two spurts into the eye. To create the illusion of more tears, put a few extra drops than you normally would into your eyes and let them run down your face. Don't wipe the drops off your cheeks so that everyone will assume your eyes are in a constant state of weeping. Ever wonder how actors manage to cry on the spot? They could just be really good at their jobs... or they could also be using a menthol stick. Menthol sticks are waxy substances that come in lipstick tubes. To use it, you rub the waxy menthol beneath your eyes and then wait for your eyes to water. These are commonly used in theater productions to create realistic crying scenes. If you're gonna act like you have pink eye, why not really give in to the performance and do as the professionals do?

SUMMARY:
Chop some onions. Use eye drops. Use a menthol stick.
