In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Applying cold to a swollen area can help reduce inflammation and pain. You can either wrap ice in a towel or use an ice pack and press it against the swollen areas on your face. Hold the ice pack against your face for 10 to 20 minutes. You can use an ice pack multiple times each day for up the 72 hours. Keeping the swollen area elevated can help reduce swelling, so keeping your head up can help. During the day, sit with your head upright. When you get ready for bed, position yourself so that your head will be elevated while you sleep. You can place pillows behind your back and head to angle your upper body back against the headboard. When your face is swollen, avoid hot things for at least 48 hours. Hot things can increase the swelling in your face and make the inflammation worse. This side effect of heat means you should avoid hot showers, hot tubs, hot baths, and/or hot packs. Turmeric is a natural remedy believed to help reduce inflammation. You can make a paste by adding turmeric powder or freshly ground turmeric to water. You can also mix turmeric with sandalwood, which also is supposed to help inflammation. Apply the paste on the swollen area of your face, making sure to avoid getting it in your eyes. Leave the paste on for around 10 minutes. Rinse it off. Then, press a rag covered with cold water on your face. Some facial swelling will go away on its own, especially if it is connected to minor injuries or allergies. You just have to be patient and deal with it until then. However, if it doesn’t change or get better within a few days, go to the doctor. If you are experiencing facial swelling, don’t take aspirin or other NSAIDs to help with any related pain. These types of over-the-counter pain relievers can cause your blood not to clot properly. This inability to clot can lead to bleeding as well as increased or prolonged swelling.
Summary: Use an ice pack. Elevate your head. Avoid hot things. Try a turmeric paste. Wait for it to go away. Refrain from taking certain pain medications.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of coconut oil and 1/3 cup (173 g) of baking soda with a spoon until they’re thoroughly combined. The paste should be a gritty texture. You can also add 1 to 2 drops of your favorite essential oil if you want a specific scent. For example, you could mix in lemon, rose, or frankincense oils. Take a small dollop of the coconut oil paste and rub it into your skin. Press firmly but gently as you move your hands in small circles around your face, so that the oil soaks into your pores.  Focus on spots that tend to accumulate more dirt or oil, like the area around your mouth, your forehead, or your chin. If you want a deeper clean, you can let the scrub sit on your skin for 5 to 10 minutes. To remove the oil and baking soda, wet a clean cloth with warm water and wipe it across your skin until there’s no paste left on your face. Dry your skin by lightly patting it with a fresh towel.  You may need to rinse the cloth after a couple of wipes to get rid of the paste on the cloth so you aren’t just smearing it around your face. If you have dry skin or want a little extra hydration, apply a facial moisturizer after you rinse and dry off your face. Scoop the mixture into a resealable container, then secure the lid so no air can get in. Keep the container in a cool, dark place, like a bathroom cupboard or drawer.  You can also use a glass jar to store the scrub, as long as it has a tightly sealed lid. You don’t need to refrigerate the mixture. However, don’t put it anywhere warm or in direct sunlight or it will melt.
Summary: Mix coconut oil and baking soda to create a paste. Massage 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of the mixture into your face. Rinse off the scrub with a cloth and warm water, then pat your face dry. Store the leftover scrub in an airtight container for up to 1 year.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A mirror shine is an ultra-glossy finish on leather. It is a common finish on dress shoes. If you have a pair of shoes or other leather item that has a wax mirror shine on it, then you might need to purchase a special product to get the wax off. Purchase a bottle of leather wax remover in the shoe department of a store or online. Apply the product to a rag or soft cloth and wipe it over the surface of the leather. Continue to apply and wipe the surface until the mirror glaze is completely gone. Mirror glaze can be difficult to remove.  Press hard as you wipe down the surface of the leather item. Fill an empty spray bottle about 1/4 to 1/2 full with rubbing alcohol. Then, spray a light layer of alcohol all over your leather item. Apply enough alcohol so that the item is damp but not drenched. Allow the alcohol to dry completely to give your leather a dull, weathered look.  You can also use a toothbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol to apply it to hard-to-reach spots. Alcohol dries quickly, so you should notice the effect within 5 minutes of applying the product. Acetone nail polish remover can lighten or even remove the dyes used to color your leather. Pour a small amount of acetone nail polish remover onto a cotton ball or soft cloth, and rub the cotton ball or cloth over any spots you want to lighten. Focus on areas that might naturally fade first, such as the bottom corners of bags or the elbow creases of jackets. This technique will work differently depending on the quality and color of the dye. You may not be able to completely remove the color on a dark leather item.
Summary:
Use a wax stripping product to remove a mirror shine. Spray the item with rubbing alcohol to create a dull, weathered look. Apply acetone nail polish remover to remove color and shine.
