INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mini skirts tend to have a hemline that falls out over the widest part of your thighs, accentuating this problem area. Look for hemlines that stop a couple of inches above or below your knee to balance out your legs. If your legs are full from top to bottom, a mini skirt may help elongate your leg by showing off more skin. An elongated leg also means a slenderized leg. Women who carry excess weight around their stomachs need longer hemlines to keep their body looking proportioned. Short hemlines will only draw further attention to a large midsection. Try a mini skirt if you feel proud of your toned legs, or look for a fit-and-flare skirt with a hemline just below the knee if you want to make your muscular calves look slimmer. Not many women can pull of the midi skirt because it lands at the thickest part of the calves, which generally makes your legs look stout. If you have slender calves, however, you can usually wear a midi without worry. Baggy clothes do flatter plus sized women and tend to make them look dowdy. Instead of a long, baggy skirt, opt for a knee-length skirt with a little stretch and flare. If your entire frame is thin, the excess fabric of a maxi skirt may threaten to swallow you up. If you do opt for a maxi skirt regardless, look for a sleek style that hugs your hips and thighs to reduce the amount of excess fabric.

SUMMARY: Stick with knee-length skirts if you have wider hips and thighs. Try a mini skirt if you have full legs. Avoid mini skirts if you have a full mid-section. Show off your legs if you have an athletic build. Wear a midi skirt if you have slender calves. Resist the temptation to hide beneath a long skirt if you are a plus sized woman. Stay away from long skirts if you are especially thin-boned.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In addition to exercising more quickly, you should take a more intense approach to working out. Muscles need to be challenged in order to grow. That means you should be lifting as much weight as you can for ten reps or so. It doesn't matter how much weight you lift in relation to others; if you're lifting enough to challenge yourself, you'll see muscle growth.  Determine how much weight you should be lifting by experimenting with different weights until you find the one you can lift about 10 times before you have to stop. If you can only lift a weight 6 or so times, it's too heavy. If you can lift it 15 times, it's too light. Working with a trainer is a good idea if you're a beginner. Make sure you don't push yourself too hard, or you'll risk injuring yourself. One method of weight training is to gradually move on to heavier weights. Every other week or so, see if you can handle a little more weight. It's not helpful to push yourself to exhaustion or to risk injury, but it's good to find that sweet spot where your workout is doable but challenging. You shouldn't work out your chest muscles every single day. They need time to recover and build up stronger and bigger in between workouts. On the days when you aren't exercising your pecs, work on your legs or back. Be sure to get a good night's sleep each night, too, so your muscles repair fully after workouts.
Summary: Try as hard as you can. Check your weight target every couple weeks. Rest your muscles effectively.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Face washes and topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulfur, or resorcinol acid are all effective acne-fighters and are available over-the-counter. You may find products targeted specifically at treating body acne, which may be more effective than products meant to be used on your face. Just make sure you don't forget and use the body product on the delicate skin of your face or the front of your neck. Retinoid creams can help to unclog your pores and eliminate acne on your neck, but you will need to get a prescription from your doctor or dermatologist. Your doctor may prescribe a prescription-strength topical antibiotic, such as clindamycin, to apply to your neck, which kills acne-causing bacteria. It may also reduce redness. You will need to apply it twice daily and combine it with benzoyl peroxide, as this prevents the bacteria from becoming immune to the antibiotic. Oral contraceptives can help to reduce acne in some women, but only if the acne is related to shifts in your hormones. Keep in mind that oral contraceptives have side effects and they should not be used if you are planning to become pregnant. If your dermatologist determines that the acne on the back of your neck is a nodular or cystic lesion, your doctor may decide to inject the lesion directly with a steroid. This can quickly reduce swelling and heal the acne. It may also reduce scarring. Side effects of this treatment include thinning of the skin, increased sensitivity to light, and may temporarily case the fat under your skin to atrophy, giving the area a "sunken" appearance. Isotretinoin is a strong medicine that should only be used if other methods of controlling acne fail to work. Isotretinoin can clear up severe acne in a couple of months, but it also has some severe risks including:  Ulcerative colitis Liver damage Inflammatory bowel disease Depression Bone changes Severe birth defects Laser treatments can also help to get rid of acne by reducing the size of oil glands and making them less active as well. Some forms of laser therapy also use topical medicine to make the laser more effective. Keep in mind that you will need multiple treatments in order for laser therapy to work.

SUMMARY:
Try over-the-counter treatments. Ask about retinoid creams. Discuss the use of antibiotics. Talk to your doctor about oral contraceptive pills if you are a woman. Consider steroid injections for cystic acne. Consider isotretinoin for severe acne. Look into laser treatments for acne.
