It’s important to wash your skin regularly to remove excess dirt and oil. This can help prevent the production of excess oil and acne.  Most grocery stores and pharmacies carry skin cleansing products that won’t irritate or strip your skin, which can cause it to produce more oil. If your skin is very oily, consider using an oil-free cleanser.  Use lukewarm water to wash your skin. Water that is too hot can strip your skin of oils and irritate it. Just as it’s important to wash your skin, it’s just as important to avoid washing it too much. Cleansing too often or too vigorously can irritate your skin, strip its oil, and lead to an overproduction of oil. Washing oily twice a day is sufficient to help keep it clean and prevent acne. Use a moisturizer formulated for oily skin after you have washed your face. Having properly hydrated skin can help prevent overproduction of oil and may also help you avoid acne.  Even if your skin is oily, it probably needs a moisturizer. Choose an oil-free and non-comedogenic product.  You can buy products for oily skin at most pharmacies and at many retailers, including department stores. Dead skin can clog pores and stimulate the production of oil as well as cause acne. Gently exfoliating your skin on a regular basis may help clear dead skin and bacteria and may help control your oily skin.  Be aware that an exfoliator will only remove surface skin. Choose a gentle exfoliator with either synthetic or natural beads that are a uniform shape. Harsh scrubs can cause irritation and lead to oilier skin and acne. A soft washcloth can also gently exfoliate your skin. Apply a topical product to absorb excess oil. These preparations can not only help remove oil, but also keep bacteria and dead skin that cause acne at bay.  You can use an over the counter salicylic acid treatment or have your doctor prescribe one.  A weekly clay mask may help absorb excess oil and purify your skin.  You can use oil blotting papers to soak up excess oil on your face. Be sure to follow your doctor’s or package directions to help ensure that you don’t overuse the product and irritate your skin. You can purchase most oil absorbing products at pharmacies and some grocery stores. Online cosmetics retailers also offer these products. If you use cosmetics or other types of skincare products such as moisturizer or sunscreen, choose oil-free options. These won’t clog your pores and may help control your skin’s oil production.  Products marked oil-free do not contain any oils that can make your skin feel greasy.  Products marked “non-comedogenic” have been tested for acne-prone skin and won’t exacerbate oil production or acne.  Any product marked “hypoallergenic” has been tested for sensitive skin and is less likely to irritate your skin. There is a wide range of oil-free, non-comedogenic, and hypo-allergenic products available including makeup, sunscreens, moisturizers, and toners. You can purchase them at most pharmacies, large department stores, online retailers, and even some grocery stores. Wearing makeup to bed can clog your pores and may even make your skin oilier. Remove all makeup with a gentle cleanser or make-up remover before you go to sleep.  You can use a specific makeup remover, especially if you use waterproof products, or your gentle cleanser before bed. Most cleansers are effective at removing makeup and shouldn’t irritate your skin.  Every month, you may want to consider cleaning your makeup applicators or cosmetic sponges with some soapy water. If you participate in sports or other activities, shower after them. Sweating can lead to excess bacteria and oil on your skin. Don’t wash your oil skin with harsh bar soaps. A gentle, pH balanced skin wash will suffice. There is some evidence that a nutritionally well-balanced diet may affect your skin. Avoiding unhealthy and junk foods may help prevent control oil production and prevent pimples from forming.  Dairy and carbohydrate-rich foods may affect your skin, including causing acne and making your skin oilier.  Foods high in vitamin A and beta-carotene, including fruits and vegetables such as raspberries and carrots, may increase cell turnover for healthier skin.  Food high in essential fatty acids, such as walnuts or olive oil, may help skin cells stay hydrated and control oil production.  Unhealthy foods also take the place of foods you could be eating that provide the necessary vitamins and antioxidants to promote healthy skin. Part of any well-balanced diet is proper hydration. Aim to drink about 8-9 cups of water every day to keep your body healthy, which may help your skin stay healthy.

summary: Cleanse your skin regularly. Refrain from overwashing skin. Apply moisturizer daily. Exfoliate your skin regularly. Absorb excess oil. Use oil-free, non-comedogenic, and hypo-allergenic products. Remove makeup before bed. Shower following vigorous activities. Change your eating habits.

the water supply. Before doing any repairs to your toilet you should turn off the water outside of the toilet. You should have a water valve directly below the toilet tank. It should be located between where the water pipe comes out of the wall and where it attaches to the bottom of the toilet tank. In most cases, you will turn the water shutoff valve clockwise to turn it off. Be sure to continue turning it until it stops moving. the toilet tank. Once the water is turned off, drain the tank before you can disconnect the toilet fill valve. To begin draining the tank, flush the toilet and hold the flush lever down to remove as much water as possible. Once most of the water is gone, you will need to use a turkey baster or a wet-dry vacuum to get rid of the small amount of water sitting at the bottom of the tank. If you don't have a turkey baster or wet-dry vacuum, use an old towel or sponge to soak up the remaining water and any sediment left in the tank. Remove the tank lid carefully and set it on a towel out of the way so it doesn’t get broken. The toilet fill valve is located inside the toilet tank, usually off to one side. In newer toilets, it is the entire plastic column that includes the float and the on-off lever for filling. In older toilets, the float is a separate piece but it will be connected to the top of the fill valve.  The fill valve also has a tube attached to it that connects to the overflow pipe. Loosen the nut that secures the fill valve to the water supply line by turning it counterclockwise with pliers or a wrench. Then, carefully pull the supply line out of the valve underneath the tank. As you unscrew the nut, a bit of water may drip out of the tank. Keep a towel on hand or on the floor below the opening to catch any water that comes out.

Lenses come with a number of added features, such as scratch-resistant coatings and color-changing features meant to offer ultraviolet protection. While many of these features do effectively provide what they offer, they are also largely unnecessary. If you have a tight budget, skip the extras and stick with a basic prescription lens.  If you purchase your eyeglasses from a department store or popular eyeglasses chain store, you may be able to find coupons in magazines or online. Many carriers cover a portion of the cost for eyeglasses if you buy them at specific places. Depending on your coverage, you could have more or less choice available to you.
summary: Only buy what you need. Shy away from brand names if your budget is low and you don't need to get the latest styles. Look for coupons. Check with your medical insurance.
