Summarize the following:
These pills are designed to lengthen the time inbetween each period with continuous hormone use. This method requires women to take pills with hormones for several months at a time followed up with seven days of hormone-free pills. The week of hormone-free pills will allow women to get a regular period. Seasonale and Seasonique are the two most popular brands on the market that offer the extended-cycle birth control option. While they vary in hormone strength and have different pill instructions, they both offer about three months of a missed menstrual cycle. This method requires you to take hormone pills everyday with no down time for one year. At the end of the year, you will take a week's worth of pills with either no hormones, or very little, to allow your body to produce a regular period. One popular brand that helps you miss your period for one year is called Lybrel. It requires you to take hormone pills for 365 days with no breaks for placebo pills. Birth control pills come in monthly packs and have three weeks of effective pills, and one week of placebo pills. To skip your period, don't take the placebo pills in your pack. Instead, when you get to the first placebo pill, start the next month's pack of pills. There are mixed reviews from doctors on the level of safety this method has. Some doctors say it is safe, while others do not advise doing this. Ask your doctor if it is safe for you. The NuvaRing is a contraceptive ring that you insert into your vagina for three weeks at a time. It releases hormones into your body to stop pregnancy for those three weeks, and then it requires you to take it out for one week so you can get your normal period. If you are looking to skip your period for a special event, take your NuvaRing out, but instead of leaving it out for one week, immediately replace it with a new one. Do not leave the same NuvaRing in for more than three weeks. You will need to replace it with a new one in order to stay safe and stop your period.

summary: Suppress your period with extended-cycle birth control pills. Stop your period for one year with continuous birth control use. Use your regular birth control pills. Try the NuvaRing to skip a period.


Summarize the following:
Drink plenty of water to clear up your skin and aid your kidneys in excreting toxins from your body. If your acne is severe, see a dermatologist. If your acne is mild and sporadic, use a concealer when you get spots. Remember, pat in the concealer.  Find out what skin type you have, and buy facial cleansers for your specific skin type.  Always remove make-up at the end of the day, and wash your face twice (morning and night). Use a good moisturizer so your skin is hydrated. Try to use a moisturizer with sunscreen during the daytime. If you tend to have oily skin, carry oil-absorbing pads with you to blot your skin with every few hours. You can squeeze some fresh lemon onto your fingertips and apply it to any spots you may have on your face. Wash your face twice a day. In the morning, splash your face with cold water for about 10 seconds. Then pat dry with a washcloth or facial sponge. This helps stimulate blood flow and is really good for the skin. Since your feet will be exposed a lot through wearing sandals, make sure they're pleasing to look at. You can have a pedicure done, or give yourself one. Just make sure your feet are clean, hair-free, nails aren't too long, nails are filed, and your feet are moisturized. Be sure to use sunscreen on your feet, too. As for your hands, try putting a clear polish on your nails and keeping them well groomed. If your hands tend to be dry, apply a moisturizer at night and wear white cotton gloves while you sleep (this also works well in the winter). You will wake up with softer, more  beautiful hands. Always use sunscreen. You will still tan but you will cause a lot less damage to your skin. Use  self-tanning lotion or cream. Many people get skin cancer, even if they just get a tan, not a burn. It is just like regular cancer, and can be fatal, unless surgically (or with a laser) removed. Remain physically active. Go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. If a gym is not accessible, go swimming, biking, rollerblading, walking, etc. Do whatever works for you and suits your face. If your hair is curly, use a product to define your curls. If you're looking for a new style, go to a hairdresser and ask for his or her opinion. A professional will be able to help you pick a style and color that will suit your face and skin tone. Wash and dry your hair regularly. French braid your hair on both sides of your head before bedtime, then remove the braids in the morning and you'll have instant waves. It's so quick and easy! This is not necessary but if your parents allow it, it could be useful. Use a mascara that is waterproof, which is best for summer and it's likely that you'll be sweating, swimming, etc. Curl your eyelashes before you use mascara, it will make your eyes pop. Apply bronzer to your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin; this will give you a nice summer glow. If you have pimples, dot on concealer and seal it with powder. Now, although makeup can improve the way you look temporarily, you mustn't forget that if you wear it continuously you may not be satisfied with the way you look without it on.
summary: Fix your face. Don't forget the hands and feet. Care for your body. Work with your hair. Apply make-up.
