Problem: Article: Exfoliating your skin removes flakiness and gives you a healthy glow. Try an exfoliating body scrub in the shower and a deep pore cleansing clay mask for your face and neck. Be sure to moisturize!  If you don’t have a body scrub, try mixing brown sugar with any body lotion for a homemade exfoliant. Apply to your skin in a circular motion and then rinse off in a warm shower.  Be sure to exfoliate 24 hours before the beach to give your body time to recover from potential inflammation. Getting a wax or shaving at home will eliminate body hair to get you looking great in a bikini. If shaving at home, be sure to lather up on shaving cream and use a good, 3-4-blade razor to avoid unsightly cuts or razor burn. For those opting for a wax, be sure to book an appointment a few days before you hit the beach to give inflammation time to heal. Use sunscreen all over your body and face to avoid a burn. Sun damage also can cause wrinkles, so it’s important to lather up even if you’re working on a tan. Look for moisturizers, make up, and lip balm with a little added SPF to get some extra protection. Sweat and dirt in your pores can easily turn into unwanted pimples and blackheads. If you struggle from body or facial acne, use a body wash that contains salicylic acid to maintain blemish free skin. This should be applied after you moisturize. It usually takes between 5-7 days for skin to peak, so plan accordingly. There’s no need to use a self-tanner, but many find it boosts confidence in the early beach season when skin is still lighter from winter. Remember, pale skin is beautiful too!
Summary: Give your body a full exfoliation. Make sure to remove all unwanted body hair. Apply sunscreen of at least 30 SPF. Get rid of body acne. Apply a self-tanner for a bronzed, beach babe look.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Feel around pipes and seals attached to the toilet and sinks in your bathroom for leaks. Make sure to do this regularly, because time makes all the difference when trying to prevent mold growth. If leaks are present, contact a plumber to repair them or take matters into your own hands by fixing them yourself. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, washcloths and similar items can give mold a potential place to hide. Wipe these items dry or squeeze all of the water out after each use and store them in a towel closet or somewhere else dry between showers. After each shower, go over the walls of the shower in a vertical swiping motion with a squeegee so that you can quickly and easily get leftover water into the drain instead of allowing it to cling to the walls. Keeping shower walls dry contributes greatly to creating a low level of moisture in the bathroom. Apply a standard grout sealer to the spaces between your bathroom tiles each year to waterproof them. If at any point you have a particularly difficult time keeping your grout mold-free, you can also scrub it with bleach and a toothbrush or replace it completely by scraping it out with a flat screwdriver.

SUMMARY: Find and fix leaks in your bathroom. Don’t keep loofahs, bath toys, or bathing products in the bath tub or shower. Squeegee away excess water after showering. Seal grout lines in tile flooring annually.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In order to prevent another episode of cutting, you need to remove the tools that you use to do it. Get rid of any objects you have used before to self-harm. If you have to spend time searching for something to harm yourself with, you may be able to crush the impulse. The time to think about your actions or the added effort can act as deterrents.  Don't keep sharp objects on your table and don't put razors in drawers or cupboards that you can easily access.  If you do not yet feel able to throw out your tools, try to delay getting to them by keeping them wrapped up tightly and high up on hard-to-reach shelves. If possible, give them to someone else. This is a guaranteed way that they won't be find-able. You'll likely be angry initially, but when it passes, you'll be thankful that it stopped you from being able to harm yourself. The moment you have the urge to harm yourself, stop and think of what has just occurred. These are your triggers. Remember them and try to avoid these situations. Sometimes, they can be predicted and if they can be predicted, they can be avoided.  Common triggers can include problems with peers such as bullying and cyber bullying, pressure at school, feeling socially isolated, abuse, confusion around sexuality, and issues in your family.  Some people are more likely to cut at certain times of the day. If you know that you're more prone to cutting in the morning, take extra caution just after you roll out of bed. Know yourself and what to do to handle the next urge. If you've just had an argument with somebody close to you, for example, and are having the urge to self-harm, stop and ask yourself what's making you feel this way: "I feel like harming myself because I've just had an argument with somebody I love, and it's making me feel really bad." Determine what in particular makes this situation trigger negative emotions, such as a certain feeling or maybe an action. Work on reducing this issue until you have it under control or completely diminished. It's important to celebrate progress you've made. Try marking a calendar with a preferred color on days you don't cut. At the end of each month, tally the number of days you didn't cut and write it on the bottom. Work to increase the number of days the following month.
Summary:
Remove triggering objects. Identify and avoid your triggers. Acknowledge your success.
