In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place a handful of parsley in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling vigorously, turn off the heat and allow the water and parsley to cool. When the water is still warm but comfortable to touch, dip a washcloth in the water and squeeze out the excess, then place it on your face for 10-15 minutes.  Parsley is an astringent, which means it cleanses and tightens skin. Extracts from parsley are even used in some cosmetic products.  You can also use thyme if you prefer.  You can repeat this treatment every other day. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tsp (12 g) of baking soda and 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of water until they form a paste. Massage the paste into your face and leave it on for about 5 minutes, then rinse it away. As the baking soda dries, it will draw impurities out of your skin. You can do this once a week. Cut a lemon in half, then run the cut side over your skin where you’ve been experiencing clogged pores or blackheads. Leave the lemon juice on your skin for about 5 minutes, then rinse your face with cool water.  The acidity of the lemon will help break up dirt, grime, and old skin cells. However, it can irritate your skin if you leave it on for longer than 5 minutes. If you experience any discomfort before the 5 minutes are up, rinse your skin with cool water. Apply enough rosewater to a cotton ball to make it damp, then rub the cotton ball over your skin. The rosewater will tone your skin gently without causing irritation. It has anti-inflammatory properties and may even help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You can purchase a rosewater toner or make your own.
Summary: Boil parsley to draw impurities out of your skin. Make a paste out of baking soda to cleanse your skin. Rub a lemon over your face for a gentle peel. Use rosewater as a toner.

Going to a party is always more fun with friends. Find out if other friends are going and ask what their plans are. They may want to travel together, have dinner beforehand, or make other plans with you.  If the party has an online invitation, you may be able to see who’s been invited and who’s going. Be sensitive when asking if a friend is going. Remember that they may not have been invited and might not even know about the party. Some parties are small and by invitation only. However, some parties are given with the idea that the more people come, the more fun the party will be. If the party is open to all, ask a friend or two if they’d like to join you.  With more intimate parties, hosts often expect that invited guests will bring one person who is their date. Check with the host if this is the case, and invite a date to come with you if appropriate. If you’re not sure whether it’s okay to invite others to the party, ask the host. Let your friend know what to expect. For example, if the party has a theme or a dress code, make sure your friend knows so that they can dress appropriately. You need to know how you’ll get to and from the party. If you plan to drink alcohol at the party, this is especially important, since you’ll want to have a designated driver or a plan that includes public transportation, a cab, or another safe means of getting home.  Ask your friends about their plans. Does one of them want to be the designated driver? Do they live within walking distance of the party? If so, maybe you could crash on their couch afterward. Red the public transportation schedule if you plan to use it. If the party goes late, make sure that you’ll still be able to make the last bus or train. Keep the phone number for a taxi service with you in case you end up needing it. Check with your friends before the party whether or not you’ll leave together. This way, if you lose track of each other during the party, you'll already know what the plan is.

Problem: Article: It’s imperative that you talk to your subject in a way that calms and relaxes him or her . Practice speaking slowly, with some rhythm and melody and no harsh or discordant tones. Use this as an opportunity to practice your script; if you struggle with what you want to say during induction it will break the subject’s focus. You also should not sound like you’re reading off a script. Practice will help you sound natural. You will want to make sure that he or she is relaxed. Inform him or her that you might touch him or her lightly, so that he or she is not surprised in a way that would cause him or her to break focus. If your subject is wearing a skirt, give her a blanket to put over her legs so that she does not need to worry about the way she positions herself.  Similarly, tell your subject that is okay if he or she coughs or moves. If he or she is struggling to suppress a biological function, it will likely break his focus.  Similarly, tell him or her to keep his or her legs uncrossed, otherwise he or she might get caught up by repositioning his or her legs. If he or she is wearing glasses, have him or her remove them. A distinct sense of fear will prevent him from falling into hypnosis. You want to let him know what you will not be able to manipulate them and that he will not be endangered by the hypnosis. Simply indicate "This is a perfectly safe procedure. You will enter into a state of increased relaxation and focus, but you will be in control the entire time." Always begin by asking if he r she is ready to be hypnotized. Establishing consent is important for ensuring that he or she is mentally ready and should calm him or her as well. A simple, "Do you agree to be hypnotized?" should be sufficient Hypnotic subjects need to be willing to engage in the procedure and psychologically susceptible. Studies have shown that approximately 80% of subjects are moderately susceptible, 10% are highly susceptible, and another 10% have low susceptibility.  Susceptibility is positively correlated to how well the subject is prone to fantasy and empathy. His or her ability to focus while, for example, reading, also correlates to susceptibility.   It is often thought that hypnosis is easier in a relaxing environment with few external sounds or distractions. While this sort of hypnosis certainly won't hurt, some studies indicate that hypnosis is equally as easy to reach in disturbing settings
Summary:
Practice speaking in a soothing tone. Prepare your subject mentally and physically. Tell your subject that he or she has nothing to worry about. Ask for permission. Beware that not all people respond the same way.
