INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are upset and you start losing control of your behavior, quickly take steps to master yourself. Pick a few ways to calm down and practice them when you're by yourself. That way, you'll know exactly what to do in a critical moment. Take a deep breath and slowly exhale. Wait before speaking or movingconsider counting to ten. Say your own name, aloud or in your head. If your name is Sean, you might say "Sean, calm down." Form a quick plan to address it. Don't get distracted by details or by your emotional reaction. Think of what needs to be done and sketch an immediate game plan. By yourself, this will help you feel in control and capable of facing the situation. In a group situation, if you are the first one to propose a plan everyone else will generally follow your lead. For instance, say your team is planning an outdoor picnic for work and everyone is assuming that the team's only female member will do all the event planning, even though she did it last time. Calm down, then think "I need to intervene before Sarah gets stuck doing all the work. I also need to not offend my coworkers, who tend to retaliate when they are called out for sexism. I can start by volunteering myself, and then try to get others to volunteer for tasks." When something needs to be planned, or when immediate action is needed, step up. Tell yourself, "I can do this." Think of the things you can immediately control. For instance, if you need to plan an outdoors event, you can't control the weather, but you can control the location and the date. If you are the person most capable of leading others through a situation, speak up. Assert your authority. Speak audibly and clearly, and explain why you are the person who can best handle the situation. You might say, "I would be happy to oversee the planning of this event. I worked for an event planner for two years and I learned the basics. I also know this area well." Delegate. Ask others to take on tasks that they are well equipped to handle. For instance, if Andre knows the most about local restaurants, ask him to arrange the catering. If you are in a shared situation and do not believe you are the one who can best lead others through it, call on the person you think is most capable.

SUMMARY: Calm yourself in the moment. Take stock of what needs to be done. Lead others.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Remove excess dirt and oil from your skin by cleansing it regularly. This may minimize and prevent acne or breakouts. Wash with a cleanser that is gentle and has a neutral pH. Use an oil-free cleanser if your skin is especially oily. Try a glycerine or cream-based cleanser if you have dry skin. Avoid most bar soaps because their ingredients could clog pores. Using a neutral-pH soap with a moisturizing cream may gently cleanse your skin. Wash with lukewarm water because too hot water may strip your skin of needed oils or cause irritation. Regular cleansing is important, but you don't want to overwash your skin. You can irritate your skin, strip its oil, and promote acne by washing your skin too often. Cleanse acne-prone areas twice a day at most, unless you are very active. This is often enough to keep your skin clean and clear. Before you go to bed or exercise, take off your makeup. Not doing this can clog your pores and cause more acne. Remove every trace of makeup with a gentle cleanser or make-up remover. Cleaning your makeup applicators regularly with soapy water can get rid of acne-causing bacteria. If you exercise often or are very active, shower when you're done. Sweat may stimulate the production of oil or bacteria that could cause acne. Rub a skin-type specific moisturizer following your cleansing routine. Properly hydrating your skin may get rid of and prevent acne. Even oily skin requires a moisturizer. Choose an oil-free and non-comedogenic product. Talk to your dermatologist or doctor about your skin type and then buy products specifically formulated for your needs. Dead skin and debris can clog pores and cause acne. Use a gentle exfoliator on your skin to clear away acne-causing debris. Understand that an exfoliator only scrubs away surface skin and cannot remove acne. Choose an exfoliator with either synthetic or natural beads to minimize irritation. A soft washcloth can also gently exfoliate your skin. Apply a product to absorb excess oil from your skin. This may help remove oil that is clogging your pores, but also keep bacteria and dead skin that cause acne at bay. Apply an over the counter treatment of salicylic acid. Your doctor can prescribe one if your acne is more severe. Using a clay mask once a week in conjunction with your mint mask may further absorb excess oil and also help purify your skin. Place an oil blotting paper on your face to soak up excess oil. Apply non-comedogenic products to your face. Skincare marked "non-comedogenic" won't clog your pores and may help prevent breakouts and irritation. Look for products with the label "non-comedogenic," which means the company has tested it for acne-prone skin. Consider using skincare marked "hypoallergenic" as well. This means the company has tested the product specifically for sensitive skin and it will not irritate your skin. It's often tempting to remove acne pimples, but it's important to avoid picking at your skin. Touching your skin can spread oil and bacteria that may cause acne or irritation.

SUMMARY: Cleanse your skin. Refrain from over-cleansing. Remove makeup. Shower after exercising. Apply moisturizer daily. Exfoliate your skin. Eliminate excess oil. Use products for acne-prone skin. Quit picking at acne.
