Summarize the following:
Ask yourself several questions before you begin this renovation. For example, identify if you are updating to modernize the plumbing and fixtures or simply to make a style change. The former will be more expensive, so budget accordingly. Also, make sure to keep in mind what you actually need. While Jacuzzi tubs are popular, for instance, you don’t need one if you don’t enjoy a long soak.  If you are working with a professional, ask them for advice on what sort of fixtures are most appropriate for your space. Take into account whether you want this room to stay in the same style as the rest of the house and plan accordingly. For example, if the rest of your house is ultra modern, you probably don't want to choose a rustic look for your bathroom. If you want a luxurious bathroom that is your sanctuary, custom built fixtures might be the way to go. That way, you can have the corner soaking tub and the standalone rain shower. But if you’re looking for function over style, consider getting store-bought fixtures, like a bathtub. They will be much more affordable. Visit a store that sells fixtures and spend some time deciding what you want to focus on. For example, if you want a free-standing tub to be the focal point of your room, allocate extra money for that feature. Natural stone tiles have become very popular for bathroom floors and shower walls. However, if you choose porcelain as your material, you can save a lot of money. Also, porcelain is incredibly long lasting, so you’ll be getting the best value for your money. Many porcelain tiles are now made to mimic the look of natural stone, so you can have the best of both worlds! Bathrooms are often small, so it’s important that your lighting helps highlight the space you do have. Recessed lighting throughout the ceiling can help make the room seem brighter. Try to add 1 or 2 of these fixtures in the shower, as well.  You might also want to consider some bright lighting around the mirror, which can make it easier to see any makeup you’re putting on. If you can, add a window to your bathroom. This feature adds a lot of resale value. Wall mounted toilets are increasingly popular for good reason. They save a lot of space, as the tank is inside the wall. Also, the toilet is hung from the wall, leaving the floor underneath clear. This makes it a breeze to clean underneath! Keep in mind that while the toilets are relatively affordable, installation can be expensive. You might be able to DIY if you have any knowledge of plumbing. Smaller tiles (about 1 inch (2.5 cm) will give you more traction. Choose smaller tiles to make your shower floor more slip-proof. You can choose tiles similar to those in your bathroom floor to create a cohesive look. Because bathrooms can be small, storage space is often limited. When planning your renovation, make sure to include several separate storage areas. For example, you might include a linen closet for storing extra towels.  Large medicine cabinets and under sink storage are also great ways to add storage space. Consider adding a ledge in your shower where you can store products like shampoo.

summary: Identify the purpose of your remodel. Choose between custom built or more affordable store-bought accessories. Pick porcelain for a long lasting tile. Install recessed lighting to brighten up the room. Choose a wall hung toilet for an affordable space saver. Use small tiles for a safer shower floor. Maximize space by creating several storage spaces.

This is one of the most common causes of a flushed face.Try to focus on something--anything--other than your fear of blushing. The less you think about it, the less it will happen. Anxious feelings are a major reason that blushing is a problem to many people. Anxiety can cause a lot of negative physical and mental reactions, and blushing is one of the most common. It is possible that blushing is a symptom of a larger issue like a type of general anxiety disorder, social phobia, or an irrational fear of blushing. It is important to seek psychological treatment for any of these root issues. Blushing can also be caused by medical issues that are not related to anxiety. One of the most common examples is a condition known as rosacea. Rosacea is a skin disorder that causes redness and inflammation. Doctors can provide specific treatments for rosacea. Another common physical cause of blushing is menopause. When you're working to understand why you blush, it is useful to remember that you are not alone. Most people blush!

If your skin begs for lotion after a shower, you definitely need to get a makeup primer for dry skin. A good, nourishing primer can take the place of your lotion, so you can hydrate your skin and prep it for makeup in one step. Look for primers with words like “hydrating,” “soothing,” or “replenishing.” If you struggle with excess oil and shine, you want to combat this with your primer. To do so, your best bet is a great mattifying primer that will reduce your skin’s oil production. Products that minimize pores typically help to minimize shine as well. Look for oil-free formulas – your skin doesn’t need any help with that! If you've found that your skin is sensitive to the products you use, it's a good idea to choose primers with a short ingredient list. Many beauty supply stores will have primers for sensitive skin that are oil-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and so on. The less additives in your facial products, the lower chance you have to experience a negative reaction. As you age, you may struggle with fine lines and blotchy skin. For this type of skin, look for makeup primers infused with antioxidants. A hydrating primer will help to give you some needed moisture while locking your makeup in place.
summary: Choose a hydrating makeup primer if you have dry skin. Pick a mattifying primer if you have oily skin. Select a simple primer for sensitive skin. Use a nourishing makeup primer on mature skin.
