In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dry brushing, like many wellness trends, boasts a variety of health benefits. However, not all the buzz is scientifically sound. Know the facts going in so you don't dry brush too often, too harshly, or unnecessarily.  While the effects of dry brushing on blood circulation are debated, dry brushing does exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation is a process by which dead skin cells are cleared away. However, if you're in your teens or twenties, it may not be necessary to exfoliate regularly. Your skin is young enough to naturally clear away dead skin. Beginning in your 30's, dead skin may not fall away on its own and dry brushing can help.  Dry brushing can affect cellulite but it does not remove or even reduce cellulite. Dry brushing temporarily lessens the appearance of existing cellulite due to factors like skin plumping and swelling. Therefore, dry-brushing before a day at the beach can be a great way to look and feel better, but the effect will wear off within 24 hours.  Many beauty and wellness sites advise dry brushing twice a day, but this can be harmful. When skin is brushed too often or too harshly, bristles cause micro cuts. These can easily become infected. Also, dry brushing more than once a week breaks down protective barriers in the skin. This leads to dryness and irritation.  Dry brushing does affect skin conditions. People with eczema or chronic dry skin should avoid dry brushing as they're more prone to the above complications. However, if you have a condition called keratosis pilaris in which the skin is inflamed with rough, red bumps, dry brushing could potentially remove the dead skin cells that cause such bumps. If you've weighed the pros and cons and have decided dry brushing is right for you, you'll need to select the brushes you will use.  You will need a natural, non-synthetic bristle brush with a long handle. You can find a bristle brush like this at a health food store or at a beauty salon.  The longer the handle, the better. You'll need to access hard-to-reach areas like your back.  Choose firm bristles. Cactus or vegetable-derived bristles are ideal for the process of dry brushing. If you're not sure, ask an employee for advice.  For delicate areas like your face, abdomen, and breasts, select a no-handle brush with slightly softer bristles. Before you begin dry brushing, you'll need to make a decision about what time of day to dry brush.  Many dry brushing advocates advise dry brushing in the morning, before a shower. This is because dry brushing allegedly energizes the body and some people believe this will give you an energy boost at the beginning of the day.  Remember, do not dry brush too often. While many fans of dry brushing do it daily, or twice daily, this is not necessary and can actually lead to skin infection, dryness, and irritation. Dry brushing bi-weekly is the safest option.
Summary: Know what to expect. Select your brushes. Decide when to dry brush, and how often.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This helps you understand what the essay should be about and lets you know of any rules you need to follow. Pay attention to the submission dates, character or word limits, and any other specific instructions you need to follow.  If you don’t follow one or more of the rules when writing and submitting your essay, your essay may be disqualified, so make sure to read over the rules several times if necessary. It’s a good idea to print out the guidelines so that you can refer to them as you’re writing. Most essay contests will have a theme that your essay should be about, narrowing down your options for essay ideas. Think about this theme and jot down several ideas for things you could write your essay about. Pick out whichever one you think would make the most interesting essay.  It’s super important to stick with the theme when you’re writing and not get off-topic. For example, if the contest asks you to write about a person who has influenced you, make a list of the people that have had a big impact on your life and choose the person who you can write lots of descriptive examples about. The first draft of your essay doesn’t need to be perfect, but it should include all of the points you want to make. This is the time to plan out any details, examples, or sections of your essay so that everything pieces together nicely.  It’s okay if you have several different drafts of one essay. Make an outline of your essay before you start to help you organize your thoughts. Once you’ve written an essay with all of your main points in it, go through it again and add anything that would make it better while deleting unnecessary parts, such as specific examples to a point you're making or a description of a person or place. Make sure the essay makes sense and is interesting to the reader.  Ask a friend or family member to read over your essay to see if it’s interesting and makes sense. It may help you to put the essay aside for a day or two after you’ve written it so that you can revise it again with a fresh perspective. Now is the time to edit the essay for any typos, spelling mistakes, or grammar mishaps. Read through the essay carefully and make sure all of your punctuation is correct as well. It may help to ask another person to read over the essay to see if they spot any mistakes. While you should make sure to submit the essay at least by the deadline, it’s even better to submit it well before the submission date. This will help ensure the judges have lots of time to read your essay and don’t have to rush through it to read all of the other essays that were submitted on the deadline.  Check to see when the submission deadline is in the contest’s guidelines and rules. It may help you to put the essay deadline on your calendar so that you don’t forget when it is. If you're sending the essay by mail, make sure you send it far enough in advance that it will reach the judges in time.
Summary: Read the essay contest rules before starting. Brainstorm essay ideas to pick a topic that works with the theme. Write a draft of your essay to get out all of your ideas. Revise the essay to create a final draft. Proofread the essay carefully to check for any mistakes. Submit your essay before the deadline.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If home treatments do not help your headache, see your doctor. She can rule out underlying conditions and formulate a treatment plan for you.  Your physician will zero in on the correct diagnosis and exclude competing diagnoses in an attempt to pick the correct therapy. She will determine the need for additional testing at this appointment, which may include but is not limited to a blood pressure check, additional cardiovascular review, blood work, head imaging, and more. Depending on the severity and type of headache you have, your doctor may prescribe you a powerful pain reliever as well as a preventative medication to help stave off further headaches.  Your doctor may give you prescription pain relievers including sumatriptan and zolmitriptan.  Your doctor may give you preventative medications including metoprolol tartrate, propranolol, amitriptyline, divalproex sodium, and topiramate. Many of the preventative medications are especially effective on migraines because they counteract blood vessel constriction or the painful dilation stage. Some antidepressants may also help prevent extremely bad headaches. If you suffer from cluster headaches, oxygen therapy is considered to be one of the best treatments. You will inhale oxygen through a face mask, and your headache may be relieved in as little as 15 minutes. Oxygen therapy is most effective when used right at the start of a headache. You must resume treatment when another headache begins. There are other, more rare treatments you may want to discuss with your doctor. These include botox injections and  transcranial magnetic stimulation.  There are some studies showing that Botox, which is the Botulinum toxin type A, can help relieve and prevent bad headaches. Discuss this with your doctor should your headache not improve with standard therapy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses electric currents to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, which may help minimize the pain associated with headaches as well as their recurrence.
Summary:
Consult your physician. Ingest prescription or preventative medications. Try oxygen therapy for cluster headaches. Consider other treatments.
