Salicylic acid helps reduce swelling and redness. It has the added bonus of helping to unclog pores. There are gels, wipes, creams, cleansers, moisturizers, and sprays that contain this drug. Try whichever one you think will best fit into your daily routine. Start with a 2% solution of the acid so your skin doesn't dry out. The salicylic acid in aspirin constricts the blood vessels and reduces facial inflammation quite well. To make a topical mask, break a tablet of aspirin in half. Mix a few drops of water with the white powder inside the tablet until a paste forms. Apply the paste directly to your acne. Cover with an adhesive bandage for about 30 minutes. If you have a tablet form of aspirin, crush the pill and add water to it until it makes a paste. After 30 minutes pass, the blood vessels should have constricted. The acne and surrounding skin should be notably less red. If you suffer from chronic or severe adult acne, standard skin care products purchased at the store may not be enough to help clear your skin. This is usually when a dermatologist will prescribe a stronger topical cream or ointment to treat your acne with. A doctor can also prescribe oral antibiotics, laser or light treatments, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion. A doctor might prescribe oral antibiotics to kill the bacteria causing your breakouts. Hormone-regulating medication, such as birth control pills and spironolactone, which was originally a hypertension drug, might be prescribed as well. Usually, topical creams and ointments include ingredients like topical antibiotics, retinoids, sulfur, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid. It is not unusual for prescriptions to include a combination of these treatments.

Summary: Use salicylic acid. Apply aspirin topically. Get a prescription medication.

Since these pieces of equipment are used in every fight and sparring session (and since you won't want to share them with others), buy them as soon as you begin down your path to becoming a cage fighter. If you're a man, you'll also need to invest in a cup to protect your groin. Your MMA gym or martial arts training center will usually provide shin guards, headgear, and other training equipment. Once you've practiced long and hard, you'll be ready to enter the cage. There are many cage fighting tournaments across the world. Trainers at your local MMA gym should be able to direct you to tournaments that are appropriate for your skill level. If you don't have an MMA gym nearby, run a word string like "cage fighting tournaments" through your preferred search engine. The process by which you sign up for a cage fight varies depending on the organizing authority. Generally, you'll need to provide some contact information either online or via a paper form. You'll also need to include your height and weight so that you can be matched with other fighters in the same class. Avoid cage tournaments that charge excessive entry fees. You'll probably start out at the amateur level. As you improve, you could consider becoming a professional cage fighter in a league like UFC. Different cage fighting leagues have slightly different rules. For instance, some allow kicks to the head, but not knee strikes to the head, and vice versa. Before your fight begins, review the tournament's rule book carefully to avoid fouls or disqualifications during your fight. Most tournaments disallow eye gouging, groin strikes, clawing, pinching, biting, spitting, and other unsportsmanlike conduct. You can get a tournament rule book from the tournament's organizer. If you're entering a youth league, your birthday will have to fall within the acceptable age range, and you'll be matched with someone near your age. If you're fighting in an adult league, you'll typically need to be at least 18 years old. There are usually no upper age limits, though some leagues do set an upper age cap at 40 years old, since older fighters tend to gradually lose power and speed. In the week or so prior to your fight, relax your training schedule to allow your body to heal more fully. For instance, perhaps two weeks prior to the fight, you'll do 50 pushups daily instead of 60. The week before your fight, you might reduce that number again to just 40 pushups. Before a fight, review footage of your opponent or attend one of their matches. Use your knowledge of their fighting style to gain a strategic advantage when you face them. For instance, if you know that your opponent tends to throw jab-cross-kick combos, you can be ready for the cross as soon as they throw the jab. If you are unable to evaluate an opponent before the fight, use your previous training and experience to determine how you might improve your advantage during a fight. For instance, if your opponent is larger than you, they're also probably slower, which means you should use quick jabs and kicks that they won't be able to block well. See a doctor to ensure you don't have any broken or fractured bones. The doctor should also check for signs that you suffered a concussion, and suture any cuts that you may have endured. Your doctor will let you know how long you'll need to recuperate. The amount of time you'll need to heal varies depending on the amount of damage you sustained during the fight.

Summary: Buy your hand wraps, mouthpiece, and gloves. Join a tournament after at least six months of consistent training. Review the tournament rules. Meet the age requirements of the fight. Scale back your training gradually as your fight approaches. Strategize before the fight. Evaluate your opponent during the fight. Get a medical evaluation after the fight.
