Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Unwrap the heat wrap thirty minutes before use. Clean and dry the area you will be treating with the heat wrap. Decide whether to wear the heat wrap over clothing. Position the active heat cells over the target area. Remove the wrap's peel paper and lightly adhere the wrap. Adhere firmly once you have positioned the wrap. Wear the wrap for up to 8 hours. Monitor your skin.

Answer: The chemical ingredients in Thermacare wraps need to be exposed to air to activate. Once exposed to air, the wrap should immediately begin heating, reaching its maximum temperature in about half an hour. Attaching the wrap too early will limit its exposure to air, causing it to heat more slowly.  Do not microwave the wrap, or attempt to speed up the warming by heating it in any other fashion. Doing so may ruin the wrap and create a fire hazard. If the wrap hasn't warmed up after 30 minutes, it may have been previously exposed to air and deactivated. Throw it away and open a new one. Dirt, moisture, lotions or cosmetic products will prevent the wrap from adhering securely and may result in the wrap coming loose and becoming ineffective. If you are over 55 or are especially sensitive to heat, you should apply the wrap over a piece of light clothing, such as an undergarment. Laying a light cloth over the area you will be applying the heat wrap before attaching it is another option. Thermacare heat wraps have visible heat cells on their interior and exterior surfaces. The darker pads are on the side of the wrap intended to come into contact with the skin. Make sure these darker cells are facing your skin as you attach the pads. Do not press the adhesive tabs firmly onto your skin until you are sure you have placed the wrap where you want it to remain. Here are specific guidelines for each type of wrap:  For the lower back and hip, center the pad over the location of the pain with the slightly extended "tab" section of the heating pad pointing down. For the neck, wrist or shoulder, simply center the pad over the location of the pain and wrap the straps as if applying an adhesive bandage. For the knee and elbow, bend the joint and place the opening in the wrap over the end of your knee or elbow before attaching the adhesive strips around the back of the joint. Menstrual wraps do not apply directly to the skin but, rather, to the inner side of an undergarment. Adhere the wrap to the garment where it will cover the target area, then put on the garment. Rub the adhesive tabs into your skin until they are firmly attached. This will ensure that the wrap remains in place while you are using it. Thermacare wraps are designed to be worn under clothing, and should come loose during normal physical activity. Eventually, the active chemical ingredients in the wrap will run out, and the wrap will begin to cool. Once it has cooled, a heat wrap will no longer be effective. Do not try to reheat the wrap in the microwave, or by any other means. You can dispose of depleted heat wraps in your normal household waste. You should check under the wrap every couple of hours to make sure you are not experiencing redness or irritation. If you experience prolonged redness, irritation, or increased pain you should stop using the heat wrap right away, and talk to your doctor if the symptoms do not dissipate. If the irritation is only mild, you can instead try wearing a light layer of cloth underneath the wrap.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Place 1 cup (240 mL) of distilled white vinegar in the top rack of the dishwasher. Run the dishwasher for a full cycle. Sprinkle a cup of baking soda over the bottom of the dishwasher. Run an additional cycle.

Answer: Despite its own smell, the acid in vinegar is one of the most potent smell-removing agents. Additionally, as it dries the smell of vinegar dissipates quickly.  Make sure the dishwasher is empty when you attempt to clean it in this way. If you don't like the smell of vinegar, add a few drops of an essential oil to the vinegar. The vinegar will be blasted all over the interior of the dishwasher, and that is precisely the intention. The acids in the vinegar will help break down any residues that remain in the interior of your dishwasher. Baking soda is another well-known odor neutralizer, and following the vinegar shower with a rinse of baking soda has become a popular (and organically approved) solution to cleaning and smell-removal problems. This time the dishwasher should be run one of the shortest cycles available, and in order to dissolve all of the baking soda the water should be the hottest it can be. After this, the dishwasher should be clean and fresh smelling.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exercise your facial and neck muscles. Avoid repeated facial expressions. Eat a healthy diet. Stay hydrated. Apply moisturizer daily. Limit exposure to the sun. Quit smoking Avoid sudden weight gain or loss

Answer:
There are several exercises that provide a good mix of stretching and working out your neck and lower facial muscles. Repeat them once or twice a day and this may strengthen your neck so that it appears firmer.  Place one hand on your forehead. Push your head against it  without letting it go forwards. You should feel your neck muscles  working. Hold this position for about 10 seconds. Then clasp your hands behind  your head, and push backwards to create pressure, and again hold for  about ten seconds. Sit down with your back straight. Lift your head back so that your chin is pointing toward the ceiling with your lips closed. Next make a chewing motion with your mouth. You'll feel your neck and facial muscles being worked. Repeat about 20 times.  Again, sit with a straight back and lift your head so that your chin points to the ceiling with your lips together. This time, pout your lips in a sort of kissing motion. Repeat this exercise twice. This may feel similar to the first exercise, but actually works different parts of your neck and face.  Be careful with this one because it could strain your neck. Lie on the bed with your head hanging over the edge. Slowly and carefully lift your head up towards your torso, using your neck. Slowly and carefully lower it back down. Repeat this about 5 times. Stop immediately if you feel any pain. Certain facial movements and expressions, such as tilting your head in disagreement, can weaken adjacent muscles. Observe any repeated facial gestures you may make to help keep your neck skin firm longer. Whenever you use facial or neck muscles, it causes a groove to form under your skin. As your skin loses elasticity over time, it can no longer fill this grove and may cause a permanent wrinkle or flap on your neck. There is some evidence that a nutritionally well-balanced diet may protect your skin. Avoiding unhealthy and junk foods may help keep wrinkles and loss of elasticity at bay.  Diets high in fat and sugar may slow cell turnover. Try not to eat too many fried foods or sweets — limit your simple sugar intake and instead focus on complex carbohydrates. Foods high in vitamin A and beta-carotene, including fruits and vegetables such as raspberries and carrots, may increase cell turnover for healthier skin. Yellow and orange fruits and vegetables are high in vitamin A and beta-carotene. These, combined with plenty of water, increase cell turnover resulting in healthy skin that is not prone to clog-causing damage. Food high in essential fatty acids (alpha-linolenic and linoleic fatty acids), such as walnuts or olive oil, may help skin cells stay hydrated. Unhealthy foods also take the place of foods you could be eating that provide the necessary vitamins and antioxidants to promote healthy skin. Skin that is hydrated is generally more plump and firm and less likely to sag or wrinkle. Making sure you consume enough liquids every day can help you tighten your neck skin.  You should consume at least nine cups of water a day to stay hydrated if you are a woman and 13 cups if you are a man. Athletes and pregnant women require up to 16 cups of water a day.  Water is the best choice for your needs, but you can also drink non-caffeinated tea, and juices diluted with water. You may consume coffee or caffeinated teas and soft drinks in limited quantities, but be aware that they may dehydrate you slightly. Use a skin-type specific moisturizer that boosts collagen and elastin production every day. Having properly hydrated skin can help make your neck skin firmer.  Even if your skin is oily, it may need a moisturizer. Choose an oil-free and non-comedogenic product. Seek the advice of a dermatologist or skincare professional to help assess what type of skin you have. You can buy products specifically formulated for your skin type and needs at most pharmacies and at many retailers, including department stores. There are many products that can not only boost collagen and elastin production, but may also improve the appearance of your neck skin by plumping it up with products such as silicone and hyaluronic acid. Using a moisturizer with a built in sunscreen may increase the skin firming benefits. Ultraviolet radiation, which is present in the sun’s rays, speeds the natural aging process by breaking down the collagen and elastin fibers that keep your skin firm. Reducing or avoiding sun exposure may help your skin retain its firmness longer.  Wear a broad spectrum, high SPF (at least 30) sunscreen for times when you are outside running errands or doing other activities. You can also wear a hat with a wide brim to further help protect your skin from sun exposure. If you go to the beach or pool, consider sitting under an umbrella. Use a water-resistant sunscreen. . Like sun exposure, smoking accelerates the natural aging process by changing the blood supply to your skin. Quit or reduce your smoking habit to stop the aging process in your skin, which may help it stay firmer longer. Speak to your doctor if you are having difficulties quitting smoking. She can help you develop an effective treatment plan. . Weight gain can cause your skin to stretch and will leave you with looser skin if you lose the weight. Sudden weight loss doesn't give your skin time to adjust and will leave it looking and feeling loose. Maintain your current weight or lose weight gradually to avoid sagging neck skin.
