Problem: Article: As soon as you get out of the shower or bathtub, rub a thick lotion all over your legs. Try to do this while your legs are still a little bit wet (but not soaked), as the water will help lock in the moisture from the lotion. Only moisturize after you shave, never before. Moisturizing before you shave will clog the pores and keep you from reaching all of the hair with your razor. Avoid lotions that contain alpha-hydroxy or alcohol, as these products can irritate skin that has just been shaven. If your skin is particularly dry or prone to eczema, you may want to try a thicker cream as opposed to a lotion. Good options include CeraVe Moisturizing Cream and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, both of which are easy to find in stores and online. Although post-shave is the most important time to apply lotion, you will want to moisturize daily, especially if you go several days in between shaves. Try to get into a habit of doing it at the same time every day (at night or while getting dressed in the morning, for example) so that you don't forget. Although you want to moisturize frequently, don't overdo it; too much lotion can lead to clogged pores. Once or twice a day is sufficient. Before going to bed at night, massage olive oil into your legs, wait for the skin to absorb it, then rinse in the shower. This will leave your legs feeling silky soft!
Summary: Lotion right after you shave. Apply lotion frequently. Try olive oil.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There's really no such thing as a "normal" body, and everyone is self-conscious about some aspect of their body. Plenty of people get anxious about swimsuit season, so don't feel like everyone is seeking to judge you. The effects of gynecomastia on self-esteem aren't easy to overcome, and it's normal to feel like you'll never be able to go shirtless in public. As difficult as it is, do your best to accept your body, and try not to let other people's perceptions define you. If you don't want to go shirtless, focus on wearing a swim shirt or other concealing garment at the beach without worrying what people think. For some people, cultivating an appreciation for their body helps them overcome fear, anxiety, and embarrassment. Instead of hating your body or focusing on things you don't like, look for positive aspects. Think about the incredible things your body does, from basic things like processing oxygen to allowing you to vividly sense the world. Try listening to music, looking at beautiful natural scenery, or smelling your favorite scent. Think about how wonderful it is that your body allows you to experience such enjoyable sensations. Pay attention to the things your body does to keep you alive. Listen to your heartbeat, and appreciate how hard your heart works every second of the day. Think about how great it is that so many parts of your body do their job automatically without your conscious thought. Try saying or thinking a positive mantra, such as, "I'm happy to be alive. My body is wonderful for keeping me alive, and I'm grateful for it." When you're at the beach, pay attention to the sound of the ocean, the refreshing breeze, and how nice the sun feels. Give yourself permission to enjoy the moment without fear of judgment. If you're comfortable, try taking off your shirt, and let the sensations of the warm sun or soothing water replace your fear and anxiety. Tell yourself, "There are so many great things I'll miss out on if I dwell on what other people think. I deserve to feel comfortable and to enjoy this day, and it doesn't matter if my body isn't perfect. I refuse to punish myself anymore." If you're not ready to take your shirt off on a public beach, doing so around trusted loved ones might be a good place to start. If your family or trusted friends have a small pool party, try going swimming without your shirt. If you don't plan on ever taking off your shirt in public, try wearing a swim shirt around your family first to get used to it.

SUMMARY: Remind yourself that everyone has insecurities. Focus on your body's function and everything it does for you. Remind yourself that you deserve a fun, relaxing beach day. Try going shirtless around family and close friends first.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may want to reconsider placing a burlap flower on a silk blouse. Hold a piece of burlap up to the material you want to use it on and make sure they match. Sometimes bigger isn't always better so make sure you are sizing your flowers appropriately for your project. Fabric that is one and a half inches wide by 30 inches long, or about four centimeters by seven and a half decimeters, is a good size to start with. The longer strips of burlap you use the more petals you'll have. Place hot glue on the bottom of the flower and along the sides to ensure it is fully contained. Cover the bottom with a felt center and hold both pieces together, until the hot glue is dry and set.
Summary:
Match the burlap with what you're using it on. Size the flowers correctly. Glue a felt center on the flower base.
