INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A dull or rusty razor can keep you from getting a clean shave, whether it's by snagging hairs instead of cutting them, or irritating the skin around the follicle. Shaving every day can irritate new bumps, so try to wait and only use a razor every second day. If you can, shaving every third day is even better. Exfoliation will clear off any dead skin cells or other material on your skin, paving the way for a close and clean shave. You can use an exfoliating scrub, loofah, mitt, skincare brush, or whatever works best for you.  If your skin is sensitive, consider exfoliating on your "off" day from shaving. If your skin handles exfoliation with minimal irritation, try doing it right before you shave. Applying pressure can make the razor uneven on your skin. Instead, aim to hold it lightly and "glide" it over your bikini area. If you missed too much to overlook, make the second pass with the grain, instead of against it.  Shaving against the grain means to move the razor in the direction opposite of hair growth. For instance, most people are shaving against the grain when they run a razor from their ankle to their knee. Shaving with the grain creates less irritation, but not as close a shave. Try to use this technique as much as you can if you're going back over an area you've already shaved. The steam from a warm shower serves two purposes: it makes the hair softer, and your skin less prone to nicks and irritation.  If you usually shave first, consider reorganizing your shower tasks so that you do it last. Try to give it five minutes before you start shaving. If you don't have time to shower, wet a washcloth with water that's as warm as you can stand, and lay it over the area you're going to shave. Try to leave it for two or three minutes before shaving. Shaving cream can also soften hairs and make them easier to remove (as well as making it easier to track where you've shaved and where you haven't).  Find a cream that includes aloe or other moisturizing compounds. If you're in a pinch and have no shaving cream, use hair conditioner instead. It's better than nothing! Ending your shower with a blast of cold water, or using a cold washcloth on the area, will cause your pores to temporarily contract, leaving them less vulnerable to irritants and infection. Contrary to the popular myth, cold water doesn't "close" your pores. The cold temperatures may cause pores to contract slightly, but the effect is only temporary and minimal. There's no harm in rinsing with cold water, but if you find this step notably unpleasant, you should be able to skip it without much consequence. Don't rub yourself dry harshly with a towel. Instead, dry your bikini area in small taps, saving your skin a load of irritation.

SUMMARY: Throw out any dull razors. Shave every other day, at the most. Exfoliate gently. Don't press down on the razor as you're shaving. Try not to go over the same area twice. Shave in the shower. Use shaving cream (or a substitute). Rinse off with cold water. Pat the area dry.

Suggest that they ask themselves:  ”How important is this club, sport, or activity? What value does it provide? Is it a hobby I’ve recently picked up, or something I’ve been committed to for a long time?” ”Do I have time to complete my homework? Have my grades suffered because I’m spread too thin?” ”Am I feeling stressed out? Have I been enough sleep, or am I always tired? Are there any other ways my physical or mental health has been affected?”
Summary: Stress the importance of studying every day. Recommend that they review their study materials weekly. Give advice about choosing extracurricular activities wisely.
