Although you need more materials than you would if you used a simple curling ribbon, this procedure doesn't take that long to accomplish. Fabric ribbons that you've taken the time to curl can add something a little extra to a nice package. Find a dowel stick (pencil or rod works, too) which you'll use to curl the ribbon around. A bigger diameter creates a bigger curl, while a smaller diameter creates a smaller curl. Get a length of fabric ribbon. The width doesn't particularly matter, it just depends on what you want in terms of width. Make it a few inches (or centimeters) longer than the final desired length because curling will make it smaller. Mix cornstarch and water in a spray bottle. Grab a couple clothespins or clips, or use tape. They have to be completely dry before you remove them from the dowel, because otherwise they may lose their shape. This can take awhile so it's a good idea to curl your ribbons with plenty of time to spare before you need to use them.

summary: Gather your materials. Allow your ribbons to dry.

Cheer yourself up by buying souvenirs and gifts for the people you miss. Looking for the perfect gift will help occupy your free time and, when you find something that reminds you of them, you can anticipate seeing them again. Try to buy thoughtful gifts that show your loved ones you were thinking of them while you were gone. Spending time to find a thoughtful present is a great way to alleviate homesickness. But remember to stay within your budget. Your loved ones wouldn't want you overspending on your trip because you bought too many expensive gifts. If you have a good connection and the time difference isn't too severe, take your friends and family on virtual tours of the place you are visiting via apps like Skype or FaceTime. You can also send regular texts and emails with pictures so that your loved ones can "follow" you on your trip. Do some of the things you like to do at home while you are traveling in a new location. Find a good bookstore to browse if you miss your favorite one, or find a local eatery that makes a great burger that resembles burgers you get at home. Experiencing new things is one of the most exciting parts of traveling. But if you mix in a few reminders of home as well, this can help you enjoy the experience more overall.

summary: Buy gifts for loved ones. Use technology to virtually bring your loved ones along. Find the comforts of home.

Note that washing your face more frequently than twice a day may irritate it and strip essential oils from your skin, which can lead to breakouts. Washing once in the morning and once in the evening with a mild cleanser is a good routine to get into to prevent pimples from forming. Choosing a product to wash your face with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient will help to prevent the formation of pimples. This is because these ingredients help to dry excess oil from your skin, thereby decreasing the chances that a pimple will form. Note that these products are most effective as part of a regular skin care regimen. If you feel like you could be breaking out, keep your hands off you face to prevent spreading more dirt and oil to the area. Wash your hands before you clean your face. Also avoid touching or picking at areas of irritation. If you suspect a breakout may be forming, it is best to keep your hands off it and to use other preventative strategies to ward it off as best as possible. After an exercise routine where you have worked up a good sweat, it is a good idea to hop in the shower as soon as possible. Sweat and moisture on your skin increases the chances of pimple formation, so rinsing off sooner rather than later can help to prevent this problem. This is the exception to the washing your face only twice daily rule it's okay to wash once in the morning, once after working out, and once before bed. Also, wear loose-fitting clothing. Areas that are covered by tight-fitting clothing, where moisture and sweat can collect (such as under a sports bra or tight-fitting shirt), are often where breakouts occur. You will want to use water-based cosmetics (labeled "non-comedogenic") rather than oil-based ones, as these will help to prevent your pores from getting clogged. Also, only use makeup when needed, as any skin products, including those that are labeled as "non-comedogenic," are worse for your pores than wearing no makeup at all. When you are done wearing makeup, wash it off your face. Always remove your makeup before going to bed at night, as this will give your pores a chance to clear during the night. Consuming too many dairy products, such as milk, cheese, yogurt, etc., has been linked to increased breakouts of acne. Choose non-dairy alternatives whenever possible, such as almond milk or soy milk, and see whether reducing dairy in your diet has a positive impact on preventing breakouts. If you find that you are unable to control or prevent acne breakouts using skin care strategies alone, speak to your doctor about other options. Common medical treatments for persistent or recurrent acne breakouts include: Using topical acne creams. These usually contain salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient, and the formulations provided from your doctor can be more potent and effective than those available at your local pharmacy or drugstore. Taking oral antibiotics. Because acne is linked to bacteria on your skin, taking an oral antibiotic such as minocycline can help to diminish outbreaks. Using the birth control pill. For women with acne, the hormones provided in the birth control pill (namely, the boost of estrogen) can help to prevent acne breakouts. This is because acne is fuelled by androgens such as testosterone, so raising female hormones can help to counterbalance the effect of the testosterone that is present in all of us (both women and men have testosterone the difference is that men have more of it). Taking isotretinoin. Also known as Accutane, isotretinoin is a powerful medication to prevent acne and is used only in more severe cases, as it can have serious side effects. Speak to your doctor if you think this may apply to you. If you are planning to get pregnant, isotretinoin should be avoided, as it is known to cause birth defects.
summary: Wash your face every day. Use a face cleanser with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. Avoid touching your skin. Shower after exertion. Choose non-comedogenic makeup. Reduce the amount of dairy in your diet. Use medical strategies as a last resort.
