Article: Wash your face every morning and every evening before bed to keep your skin clean and healthy. You should also wash your face after exercise or excessive sweating. Do not wash your face more than that, since that can strip your face of key oils and damage healthy skin cells. Be sure that you use warm or lukewarm water when you wash: hot water can dry out and damage your skin. Only use your hands and fingers to wash: do not use scratchy cloths, loofahs, or sponges. If you wear makeup, it is essential that you remove all products before bed. Leaving makeup on overnight can clog your pores and encourage the spread of unhealthy bacteria on your face. Harsh cleansers and perfumes might dry out your skin. These products are also more likely to irritate sensitive skins. Avoid products with alcohol in them, since that is a drying agent. And if you have oily skin, look for products that are noncomedogenic (or water-based instead of oil-based). Look for unscented products that are suitable for sensitive skins. Do not rub your skin after washing. Patting or blotting yourself dry will help keep your skin moisturized and healthy. Use soft towels--not harsh or scratchy cloths--to dry yourself. It might seem counterintuitive, but moisturizing is necessary in order to prevent skin blemishes and conditions. When your skin is too dry, it actually increases your skin's oil production. By keeping your skin properly moisturized, you avoid the overproduction of oils that cause blemishes. A moisturizer can also help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, though a moisturizer cannot prevent these lines from occurring. Look for a noncomedogenic moisturizer if you are prone to oily skin. By purchasing a moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher, you can kill two birds with one stone. Moisturizer is most effective when used on damp skin, fresh from washing or showering.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wash your face twice a day. Use mild products for washing. Dry your skin with a patting motion. Moisturize after washing.
Article: Unlike most knots, the Pratt knot begins with the tie upside down, so the seam of the tie is facing forward. Hang the wide end of the tie over your right side, and the narrow end over your left side. This medium size knot suits most collars and builds. In a knotted tie, the wide end should just graze the top of your belt buckle. At the start, however, raise or lower the wide end until it hangs 12 inches (2.55 cm) below this point. As a rule of thumb, the Pratt knot will lift the wide end by this distance as you tie the knot. The narrow end of the tie should be higher than the wide end. It will usually be around belly button level, but this is less important than the wide end's placement. Move the wide end across your body to the left side, placing it underneath the narrow end. Do not move the narrow end of the tie for any part of this knot. Just hold it steady while you use the wide end.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Place the tie upside down around your collar. Check the position of the wide end. Cross the wide end under the narrow end.
Article: You can have three players, or you could have a whole circle of players. Everyone should stand in a circle and face toward the middle so that everyone's hands are visible. Take turns going clockwise or counterclockwise, and keep in mind that you aren't limited to only tapping the people directly next to you. Adding people will make the game stretch on much longer. This method requires much more focus to win. With so many people playing, there may be a person with a hand about to reach five fingers who splits their fingers and it goes unnoticed by the group. Make sure that everyone is following the same set of rules before starting. There is no wrong way to play but make sure everyone is in agreement with rules before starting a round. Rather than having fully extended fingers for the whole game, you can used curled fingers or "nubs." Nubs are created by splitting an odd number of fingers on one of your turns. Two nubs equal one finger so it takes longer to make a combination or nubs and full fingers equal enough for a dead hand. Decide if nubs are allowed at the beginning of the game. A desperate player will often add the nubs variant when they are about to lose. An example for splitting fingers into nubs can look like this: there are two fingers on your left hand and three on your right. If you split them, you can put 2.5 fingers or, two fingers and a nub, on either hand. Nubs are most beneficial for when you have a total uneven amount of fingers. You must complete someone's nub in order to make it a full finger. To make a dead hand you must have five full fingers, not four full fingers and one nub. A hand does not die but instead stays in the game or comes "back to life" when a tapped hand exceeds five fingers in a turn. When using leftovers, you can add three and four fingers together to get 7 fingers, which equals a dead hand plus two more. Sometimes this variation is called "zombies." This rule could make the game could go on forever since you recycle fingers. The only option for a dead hand is that it equals exactly five fingers when tapped.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Play with more than one person. Increase the mathematical difficulty by adding nubs. Use leftovers to make the game last longer.
