Q: Before you apply aloe to your pimple, or pimples, it’s important to clean your face. Regardless of what kind of skin you have, washing your face will remove any makeup, dirt, or dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, which will help to prevent or reduce breakouts. If you have a favorite face wash, stick with that. Otherwise, head to your local pharmacy and find a face wash for acne-prone skin. Scrub the face wash into your skin with your fingertips, using circular motions. Hot water can be too harsh and drying to your skin, so keep the water a comfortable lukewarm temperature. After you’ve scrubbed every inch of your face, particularly your most acne-prone areas, rinse your face thoroughly. Towels are often covered in bacteria, which is exactly what you don’t want on your freshly cleaned face. Try to let the excess water drip into the sink, and then let your damp face air-dry. It takes longer, but sensitive skin that’s vulnerable to acne breakouts will thank you. If you’re crunched for time and air drying is just really not an option, pat your face dry with a clean towel. Rubbing your face with a towel can irritate your skin, so patting is the proper technique.
A: Grab an acne-fighting face wash. Wash your face with warm water. Let your face air-dry.

Article: Ask your interviewee to tell you when and where the best place is for them to meet. If they give you a choice, ask for a quiet place where you will be relatively undisturbed for the duration of the interview.  Schedule about 30-45 minutes with this person. Be respectful of their time and don’t take up their whole day. Be sure to confirm the date and time a couple of days ahead of the scheduled interview to make sure the time still works for the interviewee. If your interviewee needs to reschedule, be flexible. Remember, they are being generous with their time and allowing you to talk with them, so be generous with your responses as well. Never make an interviewee feel guilty about needing to reschedule. If you want to observe them doing a job, ask if they can bring you to their workplace. Asking if your interviewee will teach you a short lesson about what they do can also be excellent, as it will give you some knowledge of the experience to use when you write. Do research ahead of time to ensure that you are asking the most compelling questions. Have a long list of questions to keep the conversation flowing. Know your interview subject’s background and experience, as well as their views on the subject that you’re interviewing them about. The direction of the interview should not be a surprise to the interviewee. Giving them the questions before the interview will help them be able to give more thoughtful answers. Your interviewee’s time is valuable, so you don’t want to waste the appointment rushing in and catching your breath. Get to the interview site early. Set up your audio recording equipment and test it out. Make sure you have extra pens and paper. Use an audio recorder for the interview, but take notes throughout as well. There is always the possibility that your recorder will run out of batteries or memory.  Be sure to ask your interviewee if it’s okay to audio-record the interview. If you plan to use the audio for any purpose other than for your own purposes writing up the article (such as a podcast that might accompany the feature article), you must tell them and get their consent. Don't pressure the interviewee if they decline audio recording. You don’t want to write a lengthy feature about a person only to find out that you’ve spelled their name wrong. Make sure you double-check the spelling of their name, as well as other details that are important to the story. Questions that rely on yes or no answers will not give you very rich information. Instead, ask questions that start with “how” or “why.” These types of questions give the interviewee a chance to tell a story, relate details or give their opinion. Another good option is a question that begins Tell me about a time when.... This allows the interviewee to tell you the story that's important to them, and can often produce rich information for your article. Listening is a key component of a good interview. Don’t give too many of your own observations, but do react to what they are telling you by smiling or nodding. People are more likely to continue talking when their audience is receptive. Part of being a good interviewer is determining when someone is finished talking about a particular subject and when it will be helpful to prompt them for further discussion. You can also use your follow up questions to make connections between ideas. Make observations and notes immediately when you’re finished with the interview when it is fresh in your mind. These might be observations about the location, what the person looked like, what they were doing or how they were carrying themselves. Transcribing, or typing out the entire interview, can be a tedious task. It is essential for getting quotes correct, however, and it can be very helpful to be able to read what your interviewee said. Do this yourself or pay someone to transcribe for you. Thank them for their time, and give them an idea of when to expect the article about them. This is also a chance when you can ask a few follow-up questions if you find you need more information.

Q: Once you’ve completed all of your school visits and trial classes, it’s time to go over everything you’ve learnt and decide which school is the best fit. Consider your goals, the teaching style and the logistics of the classes. At the end of the day, it’s important to trust your gut and pick a school where you feel comfortable. If you’re ready to sign up with a school, take some time to sit down with them and discuss payment options. Some schools require you have a membership to their school while others may ask you to sign a contract for a specified amount of time. Ensure you are comfortable with the financial burden of signing up.  Many schools will offer a shorter contract or longer trial period. If you’re not ready to commit to an annual membership or contract, enquire about signing up for a shorter amount of time to try out the school first. Ask about ending the contract or membership early. In case something happens that causes you to need to put your martial arts training on hold, such as an injury or loss of job, ask how that would work. Once you’ve made the decision to sign up, it’s time to get ready for your first class. Ask the school if you need to come prepared with a uniform or any specific equipment or supplies. You should bring a bottle of water, towel and change of clothing. If your school doesn’t require a uniform, it’s a good idea to wear loose fitting workout clothing.  Most martial arts are practised in barefoot but ask your school if you need to bring special footwear. After your first class or two, take some time to reflect and decide if the class is what you expected and if you're enjoying yourself. If the class turns out to not be what you're looking for, meet with your instructor to try and find a solution.
A:
Trust your gut. Discuss finances. Prepare for your first class. Evaluate the experience after your first class.
