Q: The length of time you will leave on your mask will vary based on the type of mask you are using, and the type of skin you have. In general, 15 minutes is a good average for most masks. Set a timer for yourself and relax.  If using a clay mask, do not wait for the clay to dry. Remove the mask while the clay is still slightly wet.  If using a store-bought mask, read the instructions to know how long to leave it on. It is important to avoid using clay masks too often because it can irritate your skin. However, using a clay mask can be a refreshing treatment for your skin. Use a clay mask only once per week to reduce the chances of irritation.   If your skin is dry, then you may want to use a clay mask less often. If your skin is oily, then you might be able to use the treatment more often.
A: Set a timer and wait. Repeat the process once per week.

Q: When you feel that another person is being rude or disrespectful, speak up about it. For example, if a person is continuously making rude jokes, let him know how you are feeling. He might not realize how hurtful or aggressive he seems and how his comments are affecting you. “I” statements convey that you are willing to take responsibility for your own thoughts and behaviors. This puts the focus on you and your feelings, so that the other person doesn’t feel like you’re attacking them. Nonviolent communication can be a useful technique.    Not an "I" statement: “You are very rude and you are trying to purposefully hurt me!”  "I" statement: “I feel hurt when you say things like that.”  Not an "I" statement: "You are a terrible person who is too immature to see that your friends never see you anymore!"  "I" statement: “I'm feeling sad because I feel like we don't hang out much anymore, and I would like to see you more often.” Attacking the other person is will most likely not be very productive. Rather, keep your calm and explain that you are trying to have a dialogue. You want to communicate how you feel instead of fighting with the other person. When you communicate assertively, pay attention to how you hold your body. Keep your voice calm and your volume neutral. Maintain eye contact. Relax your face and body position. Most people will respond constructively to "I" statements and peaceful, non-aggressive discussion. Some people may get upset, so if the conversation is going nowhere, it's time to walk away. You may choose to try again later, or simply distance yourself from that person. They may use emotionally abusive tactics, such as humiliating you, blaming you for everything, or invalidating your feelings. You may feel scared, exhausted, uncomfortable, threatened, or bad about yourself when you are around this person. If this is the case, the person is highly toxic and you should limit contact with them as much as you can.   Imagine that someone else were being treated the same way that you're being treated. How would you feel about them going through that? What might you say to that person? Apply that same compassion and care to yourself. If you are uncertain about the situation, or if you have a condition (e.g. autism) that affects your social judgment, ask for advice. Confide in someone you trust, and research abuse on the internet.
A: Speak up. Use "I" statements. Approach the discussion calmly. Use appropriate body language. Recognize when you aren't getting anywhere. Be aware that some people are abusive.

Q: It’s important for you to figure out whether this is general problem, or one that only you’re having with your boss. If it’s happening to everyone, it’s likely your boss’ management style. If it’s just you, your boss’ micromanagement might be happening because they have a problem with your work. If you’ve recently screwed up (even if it was a mistake that seemed small to you), your boss could simply be watching to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Small and big errors can sometimes cause huge problems for companies. Be patient while you wait to regain your boss’ trust with high-quality work. Even if you’re getting your work done on time, maybe you’re not getting to the office right when it opens. If so, your boss could feel like you’re distracted or don’t care about your job. Refocus your attention on work and see if this shifts your boss’ attitude toward you.  If you’re supposed to work a set number of hours and you’re meeting those hours, don’t go overboard trying to impress your boss. If they want to pay you overtime, that’s one thing. If not, it’s time to have that conversation about backing off a bit. Observe what you wear to work versus what your boss wears. Check out each of your offices. If one of you is super neat and the other tends to be messy, your boss could be judging your appearance and/or work style. You can either accept this or have a conversation about it.  If you’re new to this job, you may want to wait a bit while they get used to you. Once they see how brilliant you are, they might back off naturally. Your manager may have specific feedback for you that could explain why they’ve been observing your work so closely. If you don’t ask for that feedback, you may not get it. Performance reviews are often automatically scheduled once or twice per year. Instead of waiting for that meeting, ask for one in the next week or so. If you’ve just started this job, expect a little extra hand-holding. You may feel like you don’t need it, and this time could be frustrating for you. Still, it’ll take a while for people to know they can trust you. Be patient. Wait at least three months at a new job before you begin investigating alternate sources of the micromanagement.
A:
See if anyone else is being micromanaged. Ask yourself if you’ve made mistakes recently. Ensure that you’re giving your job your full attention. Check if you and your manager have different work styles. Ask for a performance review to pinpoint the problem. Wait a few months if you’re new.
