In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your fingers are excellent and efficient blending tools. While your fingers are not as precise as other tools, they are ideal for blending colors together that cover large areas of your work. It is also quicker to blend with your fingers than it is to grab a tool. When using your fingers, remember to wash your hands frequently to remove the pigment and prevent blending the wrong colors together. You may wish to wear rubber gloves or finger clots. These will make it easier for you to keep your hands clean and will protect your fingers from being rubbed raw by the sand on the canvas or in the pastels. Keep wet wipes near your workstation to remove the pastels from your hands. It may be difficult to blend areas that are smaller than your fingertips. Pastel brushes and shapers are specifically designed for working with oil pastels. Pastel brushes, which come in a variety of sizes and styles, contain hairs on one end. Pastel shapers, which also come in a variety of sizes and styles, have a flat or tapered rubber end. While flat pastel shapers are ideal for blending large areas of colors together, tapered pastel shapers are perfect for blending minute areas. You may purchase dual-purpose tools that contain a brush on one end and a shaper on the other end. Tortillions, also called stumps, are tightly wound rolls of paper with a pointed end. These inexpensive tools, which are shaped like pencils, are excellent for creating fine details and sharp edges. When the tip of a stump becomes dirty, you can unwrap the wound paper to generate a new, clean tip. These tools come in three sizes: small, medium, and large. A chamois is a soft and flexible piece of leather. This tool is extremely versatile. You may wipe or rub the majority of the chamois across your canvas to blend large areas of color, and you may also wrap a portion of the chamois around your finger to blend pastels in small areas. To clean the chamois, you may either hand wash it or machine wash it. A kneaded rubber tool is a pliable eraser. In addition to functioning as an eraser, this multi-functional tool is also great at blending together oil pastels. You may form and reform the kneaded rubber into various shapes to meet your specific needs. Instead of purchasing traditional art tools, you may use common household items to blend your oil pastels. While these items are not always the preferred tool, they serve as an acceptable replacement when you do not have the right tools on hand. These items include: Q-tips Cotton balls Cloths Paper towels
Summary: Blend with your fingers. Use pastel brushes or shapers to blend the colors. Blend with tortillions or stumps. Use a chamois to blend the pastels. Blend with kneaded rubber. Use household items to blend the colors.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You may want to check the packaging or your recipe, if you are using one, for temperature recommendations first. Either of these may instruct you to use a different temperature, which affects how quickly your sausage and any other ingredients cook. The temperature settings and cooking time can also change depending on your oven. Oven cooking is a simple way to warm large, uncut sausages indoors.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 375F (191C).

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Retinoids are a form of vitamin A which will reduce the amount of hypertrophy to your sebaceous glands. You can find over-the-counter acne preparations with lower doses of retinoids than you'll get from a prescription. However, many people respond to the over-the-counter strength products well and do not need prescriptions. Ask your doctor if you need a prescription or if over the counter is a better option for you. Women with bad acne have the option to use oral contraceptives to control their hormonal levels. This also has the advantage helping to balance other secondary effects of the hormones, such as irritability and water weight gain. You need a prescription to get contraceptives that affect your hormones. Don't use oral contraceptives if you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Accutane is an anti-acne medication for treatment of severe acne and requires a prescription. If you have sebaceous gland hypertrophy or severe acne, ask your doctor if Accutane is right for you. You will need to have your blood monitored every month while taking the medication and may experience side effects for several months after using it. Do not use Accutane unless you fully understand the risks of the medication. Accutane can have long-term effects on your health and wellness. You cannot take Accutane if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Phototherapy is a treatment option you can perform at home by purchasing special equipment, or you can choose to ask your dermatologist. Research supports this treatment, which is simple and easy to perform. Technically, exposure to sunlight is phototherapy. However, in climates where the sun doesn't shine enough hours or you can't get outside when the sun is out, you can purchase a phototherapy unit. Use the unit to treat your acne as directed and using the safety precautions listed on the unit. Possible side effects from using these units include skin that becomes red, peels or changes skin tone. Your doctor may also perform photodynamic therapy in the office. This involves applying a medication to the skin, which is then activated by a special light. This is more effective than a light treatment alone. Oral and topical antibiotics may be used to treat acne, especially when reinfection is a concern. Topical antibiotics can be used long-term, usually along with benzoyl peroxide or retinoids. Oral antibiotics are usually used short-term to get a bad breakout under control. Antibiotics are especially useful for inflammatory acne, which is acne with a lot of red bumps, pimples, or cysts.
Summary:
Consider prescription retinoids. Consider oral contraceptives. Ask about Accutane. Ask about phototherapy. Talk to your doctor about antibiotics.
