Knowing the causes can help to eliminate (or cut back on) any environmental factors that may be triggers for your cracked skin. These include:  Long showers or long baths (soaking can actually dry out your skin) Harsh soaps (mild cleansers are better for dry cracked skin) Swimming pools Cold, windy weather Irritating clothing (such as scarves) that may trigger a skin reaction The less time your face is exposed to water and cleansers, the better. Use mild soap or cleansers, and refrain from scrubbing. You'd think lots of water would be helpful to re-moisturize your skin, but too much water can actually dry skin out. Keep baths and showers to 5-10 minutes duration.  It can be helpful to add ingredients such as a natural oil (like mineral, almond, or avocado oil), or adding either 1 cup of oatmeal or baking soda to your bath if you are going to have one. Bathing can be soothing to dry skin (as long as not done in excess or for long periods of time), and adding any of these ingredients can help to keep the moisture in your skin. Gently pat your face dry after your bath or shower. Vigorous drying with a towel can make cracked dry skin worse. Also choose milder soaps for bathing as they are less irritating and less drying to the skin. As soon as you get out of the bath, gently pat your skin dry (do not vigorously rub) as this helps to preserve as much of the natural moisture in your skin. Also apply a moisturizing agent right after bathing, as well as at other times during the day.  If your skin is sensitive and prone to allergic reactions, choose a moisturizing cream or lotion that says "hypoallergenic" on the label. If your skin is prone to acne, choose a moisturizing cream or lotion that says "anti-comedogenic" on the label. If your skin is extremely dry in a certain location, petroleum jelly (Vaseline) can be a great option. For a less greasy option, you can also try Aquaphor. When used on the areas of particular dryness, it can lead to a fast recovery as it is extremely effective. However, the "look" is less conducive to going out in public as it can leave a shiny, greasy appearance, so it is best to use it at night. Coat your face in Vaseline or Aquaphor if you live in a place that gets especially dry and cold during the wintertime. This will help to protect your face from becoming dry and cracked. Although it can be tempting to pick or scratch at it, especially if your skin gets scaly or red, this can worsen the cycle and actually cause more damage to your skin. It is important to drink at least 8 cups of water daily, and more if you are doing exercise to compensate for fluid lost in sweat. Good hydration gives your skin the best chance of staying moisturized; although it is not a guaranteed "cure," it can certainly help the situation. If your skin does not show improvement after two weeks of treatment with a combination of moisturizers and the above treatments, it is best to seek the advice of a medical professional. Also, if you have red or scaly lesions on your face that are getting worse, it is best to see a doctor or a dermatologist (a doctor specializing in skin care) sooner rather than later.  Although dry cracked skin is relatively common, specific lesions on your skin (unusual lumps, bumps, or colors), sudden onset, or rapid worsening of your skin warrant a visit to your physician. There could be something going on that could benefit greatly from a medicated cream or ointment or, in rare instances, from more complex medical treatments. Changes in your skin can also be a sign of a new allergy or sensitivity. Talk to your doctor about this possibility if your skin is changing.

summary: Be aware of strategies to prevent dry skin. Clean your face quickly and less thoroughly than you normally do. Be careful with baths and showers. Use lots of moisturizing creams or lotions. Avoid picking or scratching at any areas of cracked skin on your face. Stay well-hydrated. Know when to see a doctor.

If you can replicate what you were doing when you were studying you will help your brain to remember what it was you were studying. For example, if you were chewing a particular flavor of gum while you were studying, you should chew that same flavor during the exam. One of the best things you can do is actually study in the room, in the desk, where you will take the exam. Studying with friends makes the job seem easier and not so tedious. Just make sure that the friend you study with will actually help you, not just play around and waste your time. If you can, take a little time to explain certain things that you are studying to your friend, or have them quiz you on the things you need to learn. You'll be more likely to cement the facts in your head and recall them for the exam. Mnemonics are simply memorization techniques that can help you while you're studying. You can use acronyms to help you, chaining ideas together, or keywords (especially helpful for languages).  Acronyms: this is basically a combination of letters, each of which stands for an idea that you will need to remember. For example, the FOIL method in algebra stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last, designating how you're supposed to do an algebraic problem. Chaining creates a story where each word or idea you have to remember cues the next idea that you have to remember. Keywords: for each foreign word you have to remember, pick an English word that sounds like it. Then you'd visualize an image that has both the English word and the foreign word in it. For example: "cabina" is the Spanish word for phone booth. Imagine a cab trying to fit inside a phone booth. You'll be able to recall the image, which will lead you to "cabina." If you visualize a successful outcome, you'll be more likely to actually have a successful outcome, than if you're neutral or negative in what you say about how well you're going to do on the exam. Tell yourself that you will do great. Be confident and don't lose hope.
summary: Do something specific while you study that you can copy during the exam. Study with a friend. Use mnemonics to help you remember key concepts. Stay positive!
