Article: Before applying makeup, gently wash your face with warm water. Gently rub in a fragrance-free water-based moisturizer. Apply a sunscreen or a moisturizer-sunscreen combination for protection against the sun. Sunscreen does not cause acne unless it contains harmful chemicals such as PABA and benzophenone. You can use brushes or sponges to apply your makeup if you would like to avoid touching your skin. Acne can be caused by bacteria on the hands, but sponges or brushes can also hold bacteria, so be sure wash them at least twice a week.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Clean and moisturize your skin. Prepare your brush or sponge. Finished.

Problem: Article: Most people can do a split, but it takes a lot of stretching and strength training. Some experts recommend taking at least one month to train and prepare your body to do a split. Follow the stretching and strength training regimen outlined in this article. Do not attempt to do a split without any training or preparation. In addition to preparing your body, wearing the right clothes is important for doing the split. You'll want to wear loose-fitting clothes like sweatpants to help with your range of motion. It would also help to wear socks on a wooden or tile floor, so you can easily slide your feet out to the side. Just like with any stretching regimen, you can't attempt a Chinese split without first warming up your muscles. If you've been following a daily stretch and exercise regimen for several weeks to prepare for a split, perform your usual warm up regimen (about 15 to 20 minutes of physical activity) to make sure your muscles are ready for a split. After you warm up, you need to do some preliminary stretches. Stretch every major muscle group that's involved in doing the split before trying to do the actual split. Try to work through all of the stretches you've done in the previous weeks leading up to your Chinese split attempt. These are the muscle groups you will be using to do the actual split, so loosen your body the same way you've been training. After you've warmed up, you can start working on the split. It will probably take several attempts over days or weeks to do this split, so don't expect to get it your first time. Remember to stop at any point if you feel pain.  Stand with your feet greater than shoulder width apart. Bend down and put your hands on the ground. If you can't get your hands to the ground, you need to work on stretching more. Shift your weight to your heels and rotate your toes and knees so that they're facing up. Then gradually walk your feet out from under you. Keep your hands on the ground to maintain stability -- you don't want to go down too suddenly, or you could injure yourself. Stop and hold when you've reached your limit. Even if you don't fully complete the split, try to hold the position to get your body conditioned. It's very unlikely that you'll be able to to a full split right away. It's not unusual for people to take months to get it down properly, even when they stretch every day. Keep up your routine and you'll be able to loosen up your muscle enough to perform a full Chinese split.  Try to extend the duration of your splits each day.  Stay hydrated. Not drinking enough water can cause muscle cramps and may make you less flexible.  Reduce inflammation in your legs and hips to help increase flexibility. One way to do this is by taking Omega 3 fatty acid supplements. Once you've completed the necessary flexibility and strength training, and once you've worked your way up to being able to slowly do a split, you'll eventually be able to simply drop into a split the way entertainers do in movies and martial arts competitions.  Being able to drop into a split will take some time and work - most people need over a month of consistent training and stretching to be capable of dropping into a split.  You will need to develop a consistent stretching and strength-training regimen before attempting to drop into a split.
Summary: Know whether you're ready. Dress properly. Warm up. Do a stretching regimen. Work on the split gradually. Repeat the split routine as needed. Work up to doing a drop split.

Surprise parties aren’t for everyone and if you’re planning one for a parent, it’s a good idea to ask permission first. Since you don’t want to ruin the surprise for your mom, ask your dad. If that’s not an option, try asking a family member that your mom is close to, like an aunt or grandparent.  It’s good to have someone else on board who can help plan the party and also advise you on your mom’s likes and dislikes. If your mom doesn't like surprise parties, brainstorm alternative ways to celebrate your mom. The most important step in planning a surprise party is picking the date; this will inform the rest of your party planning decisions. Think about what the party is for – is it a surprise birthday party? A surprise Mother’s Day party? A surprise party to show your mom how much you appreciate her?  If you’re celebrating a specific thing, like a birthday or Mother’s Day, try to pick a Saturday night near the date you’re celebrating. Check your mom’s calendar to make sure she doesn’t have any plans that would conflict with the party. If your mom doesn’t have a calendar, ask your dad or one of your mom’s friends to check to make sure the date is okay (make sure you let them know it’s a surprise!) In order to effectively throw this party, you need to know how much money you have available to you. Ask your dad, a relative, or one of your mom’s friends to help you plan the budget for the party.  Make sure to factor in things like the venue, food, drinks, decorations, invitations and cake. If you’re working with a small budget, figure out how many of these things you can do yourself to save money. There may be small ways you can cut costs. Instead of sending out physical invitations, you could try inviting people online via email or social media. You could also consider throwing a potluck to cut down on the costs of catering. Decide how big you want the party to be. If you’re planning a big party, you might want to consider inviting the following people: your immediate family, extended family that live nearby, and people that your mom is close to, like co-workers, friends and neighbors.  If you’re planning a more intimate party, maybe stick to just immediate family with a few close friends. Ask your dad or one of your mom’s close friends to help you construct the guest list. Make the guest list a month before the party is scheduled to happen. Once you know how big or small you want the party to be, it’s time to figure out where to hold it. If it’s a smaller party, consider having the party in your own home or in the home of a friend or family member.  If it’s a larger party, you may need to rent out space, which will cost money. Look for free spaces in your area. If you belong to a church or synagogue or community center, they may rent out rooms for free for members. Make sure you choose a place where your mom is unlikely to go leading up to the party. If you end up selecting a place that your mom frequents, you will have to find ways to keep her away while setting up the party. This adds an extra layer of complication.
