Q: Look for a daikon radish that doesn't have a lot of wrinkles or dark spots. It should be firm and smooth. They range anywhere from 6 to 15 inches (15 to 38 cm) long, so choose one that's the right size for your recipe.  If you're just topping a salad with it, pick a smaller daikon. For casseroles or stews, go with a larger one. Daikon can be purchased at Asian markets and grocery stores that offer a wide selection of produce. Hold the daikon under running water to rinse off any dirt. You don't need to use any soap or detergent, but you can brush it gently with your fingers or a vegetable brush if it's really dirty. If your daikon still has the leaves on, use a chef’s knife to slice them off, along with a little bit of the top. Make the cut about half an inch (1.3 cm) down from where the leaves connect to the radish. You can keep the leaves and use them as seasoning in soup or anything you want to add some spicy bite to. Hold the daikon upright, with the freshly cut flat end pressed down onto a cutting board. With the rounded-out edge of the peeler facing the vegetable, swipe the peeler down along the skin in long strokes. Rotate the radish with one hand as you shave off the skin all the way around.  You can leave the skin on if you want an extra punch of spicy flavor. If you don’t have a vegetable peeler, you can use a knife and make shallow slices around the outside of the radish.
A: Choose a daikon radish that’s firm and smooth. Wash the daikon under running water. Slice off the leaves and the top of the radish. Peel the skin off with a vegetable peeler.

Article: You might think that clearing a blemish overnight would require you to scrub the skin repeatedly the night before; however, washing too much can dry out and irritate skin. If you dry out skin too much in an attempt to clear it, you can potentially wake up the next morning with even more blemishes than you went to sleep with. Washing twice a day is a great overall way to get and keep clear skin. Even if the blemish does not disappear completely, washing the appropriate amount reduces redness around blemishes to help reduce the appearance of them. Over-washing, on the other hand, will cause the dry skin to appear redder and irritated. In addition to washing the proper amount, you should also make sure you’re washing with the correct cleanser. Grainy soaps or those with harsh chemicals can dry out skin as well. Dry skin then goes into overdrive on oil production, which can actually lead to more breakouts rather than fewer. Instead use a mild, oil-free cleanser with a dermatologist recommended ingredient such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. In addition to simply “oil free,” the cleanser may also be labelled as “nonacnegenic” or “noncomedogenic.” Any of these labels are fine because they all mean that the product will not clog pores.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid over-washing. Use a mild, oil-free cleanser.

Q: Depending on how your skin is feeling, you may prefer either a manual or chemical exfoliant to remove dead skin cells. A manual exfoliant is a physical scrub.  This can a warm washcloth, baking soda, or any of various products specifically designed for the purpose of exfoliation, like facial brushes. Anything that can manually scrub your skin.  While manual exfoliation is more natural, be careful about further irritating the skin, as it can be abrasive. Chemical exfoliants come in several forms. Two common and effective ones are BHAs and Retinoids.  A BHA exfoliant uses Beta Hydroxy Acid, which contains salicylic acid, to get deep inside your pores, dissolve dirt, and exfoliate the skin. Acne marks will fade faster and you should get fewer breakouts.   Retinoid creams can be used to speed up the skin's natural process of cell division, which pushes out the discolored skill cells. This treatment will increase sensitivity to sunlight, so be sure to apply the cream at night. Making sure to choose a gentle exfoliant (so as not to further irritate the skin), scrub with either a manual or chemical exfoliant every morning and apply a retinoid cream every night.
A:
Try manual exfoliation first. Try chemical exfoliants if manual ones don't work. Use exfoliants every morning and evening.
