INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Warm up 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of coconut oil or olive oil in a little dish. You can do this in the microwave or on the stove, but be careful not to let it get too hot. It should be warm and comfortable to the touch. If you want a fancier spa, try one of the following mixtures instead:  1 teaspoon of each of the following: almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and sesame oil. 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil, and 4 to 5 drops of vitamin E oil. Spread the rest of the oil through your hair, from the roots to the ends. This will help improve the circulation in your scalp. Dip a clean towel in warm water. Wring out the excess water so that it's damp. Wrap the towel around your head and hair. Secure it with a clip, if needed. The heat will trap the oil and open up the hair follicles. It will help the oil penetrate your hair and scalp and nourish it. If you have very dry hair, wait 15 to 20 minutes instead. Use enough mild shampoo to get the oil out. You can add conditioner if your hair is very dry, but the mask in the next step will be nourishing enough on their own.

SUMMARY: Prepare your oil. Massage the oil into your scalp from roots to tips for 5 minutes. Wrap a damp, warm towel around your head. Keep the towel wrapped around your head for 5 to 6 minutes. Wash your hair using lukewarm water.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Massaging your skin using a device or your fingertips may help to reduce wrinkles. This works best when you combine the skin massage with an anti-wrinkle regimen, such as cleansing and using an anti-wrinkle cream. Purchase a facial massager and use it after applying your anti-wrinkle cream, or use your fingers to massage your skin when you apply the cream. Keep in mind that it will take 4 to 8 weeks to see results, and the results will be subtle. Topical application of turmeric has not been shown to produce any effect on wrinkles, but ingesting more of this spice may help to reduce the formation of wrinkles. Try adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of turmeric to your recipes. You can also take a supplement. Look for turmeric capsules and follow the manufacturer's recommendations for supplementing. Make sure to talk to your doctor before taking any new supplement, especially if you are taking a prescription medication. One study looked at the efficacy of anti-wrinkle creams that contained herbal agents, and the formulation that contained rooibos was the most effective at reducing wrinkles. You can look for an anti-wrinkle-cream that contains rooibos or brew some tea and apply the cooled tea to your skin using cotton balls.  Brew a cup of tea using 1 teaspoon or 1 teabag of rooibos to 8 imperial fluid ounces (230 mL) of hot water. Steep the tea for 5 minutes, and remove the tea infuser or bag. Let the tea cool to room temperature and then use cotton balls to apply the tea to your freshly washed skin. Leave the tea on your skin and apply moisturizer over it.

SUMMARY: Try massaging your face. Include turmeric in your diet. Apply rooibos tea to your skin.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The first page of the instruction booklet depicts images of the garment and its design variations. The line drawings show the front and the back of the garment. Under each drawing, you will once again find the garment’s corresponding symbol, typically a letter. Manufacturers often include line drawings of all the pattern pieces. Each image will be labeled, typically with a number. The number corresponds to a descriptive list located below the line drawings. After reading the rest of the instructions, you may wish to mark which pattern pieces you will need. Prior to cutting and constructing your garment, devote time to reading the general sewing instructions thoroughly. This section contains information that may prevent you from making construction errors. It will provide you with details on items such as seam allowance and zipper insertion. Every design variation is accompanied with a corresponding cutting diagram. The layout depicts how all of the pattern pieces fit on the allotted amount of fabric. When viewing the diagram, make note of the following:  The grain line. The grain of the fabric runs parallel to the selvages of the fabric—the selvages are the finished edges of the fabric.. Each pattern piece will contain a line of arrows that corresponds to the grain line. Bent grainline symbols. If a grainline symbol is bent at the top, this means the piece should be placed on a fold. Double layer of fabric. A pattern may call for a specific piece to be cut out of a double layer of fabric.
