You will want to mostly stick to colors that match your undertone. While there are many different skin tones, there are only two undertones: warm and cool. Warm skin has a yellow or orange tint, while cool skin has a blue or pale pink one. There are two main ways to figure out which category applies to you. Vein test: Look at the veins on your wrist or palm. People with warm undertones have green-looking veins, while people with cool undertones have veins that are blue or purple. Jewelry test: Under natural light, wear a silver bracelet on one wrist and a gold one on the other. Look at each hand and figure out which enhances your complexion better. If it's gold, your undertones are warm. If silver looks best, your undertones are cool. A rule of thumb is that warm colors have a yellow tint, while cool colors have a blue one. Understanding this dichotomy takes practice. A general list of warm and cool colors: Warm: reds, oranges, yellows, yellow greens Cool: true greens, blues, purples In addition to your undertones, your main skin tone can also determine which color families look best. A good rule of thumb is that colors that create a contrast in brightness with your skin are more flattering. If your skin is dark, saturated oranges and yellows almost always look great, even if your undertone is cool. Likewise, bold "jewel tones" like emerald, ruby, and amethyst flatter paler skin regardless of undertone. If you want to make your eyes "pop," make sure a flattering color is near them. You will want to pick either a color that matches your eyes closely or one that produces the greatest contrast. Deep reds also bring out the richness of brown eyes and serve as a stunning complement to pale eyes.

Summary: Determine your skin's undertone. Learn how to tell if a color is warm or cool. Keep your skin's shade in mind. Wear tops and scarves that bring out the color in your eyes.

Vaginal thrush is actually just a yeast infection. While you can't dictate when you go on your period, menstruation will change the pH of the vagina, rendering it less hospitable for the Candida fungus. Lace your tampon with a little something, although probably not during your period. Here are some suggestions for what to lace your tampon with in order to combat vaginal thrush: Dip it in unsweetened yogurt. Apply the tampon immediately, before it expands. Guard especially against leakage. Dip it in diluted tea tree oil. Apply the tampon immediately, before it expands. Guard especially against leakage. In fact, in addition to avoiding these, try to avoid sex during a yeast infection. Yeast infections can be transmitted back and forth during sex, creating a vicious cycle and prolonging the infection.

Summary: Wait for your period. Use the laced-tampon strategy. Try to avoid using latex condoms, spermicidal creams, and lubricants.

Putting something cold on the bruise will reduce swelling and bruising when applied quickly. Fill a bag with ice and cover it with a thin towel, then apply to the bruised area. Put ice on the area for 20 minutes every hour for the first 3-5 hours after the injury. You can also use bag of frozen vegetables like corn or peas. Wrap the bag in a towel or T-shirt, and lay it over the bruise. Flexible gel-filled ice packs, specifically designed for injuries, are available from sports shops. Athletes usually keep a few on-hand to fight bruises. As always, do not use ice directly on bare skin or for more than 20 minutes at a time to avoid further damage to tissues. If the bruise is already 2-3 days old then ice still may help with the healing, but not as much in the size of the bruise. Applying the Vick's salve to the area will cause the blood to transfer deeper into the tissue to where it will not be as visible at the surface. It works better if applied immediately after the injury.[[Image:Get Rid of Bruises Fast Step 3.jpg|center]] If you continue exercising and moving, you increase your heart rate and pump more damaged blood to your bruise, causing it to get bigger. Let your body heal itself, and the bruise will disappear more quickly. Call it a day and cool off to prevent further injury and give your bruise a chance to heal. Hang out on the couch. Watch a movie, play a game, read a book do something that doesn't require much physical activity. Head to bed early. Your body needs sleep to repair itself, so hit the hay as soon as you feel tired.

Summary: Ice your bruise immediately after the injury. Use Vick's Vapor Rub to help blood leave the area. Rest after the injury.

Sprinkle baking soda over the deodorant stain and then saturate the area with white vinegar. Scrub the stain gently with a soft brush before washing it like you normally would. You may need to do this 2-3 times to fully get rid of the stain. If this is a consistent problem you see on your dark clothes, consider switching to a spray or gel deodorant. They're less likely to stain. Grab a pumice stone and rub it back and forth in a circular motion over the sections you want to make more distressed until the denim starts to shred. Once the denim begins to separate, you can pull the threads apart by hand to make the patches look even more distressed. This trick works especially well with worn-out knees. You could extend the distressed section up over your thighs, or even add a few patches to the front or back pockets. Turn the garment inside out and loosen the seams connecting the shoulders to the body of the shirt. Take in the neckline by 14 to 12 inch (0.64 to 1.27cm) on each side, depending on how widely the neckline is gaping. Stitch the shoulder seam back in place with a matching thread. If there is a lot of excess fabric left after you've sewn the seams, you may want to trim them away so they don't create a bulge underneath the shirt.
Summary: Get rid of deodorant stains on clothes with baking soda and vinegar. Distress your jeans to turn worn patches into intentional design spots. Fix a gaping neckline to refresh your favorite tops.
