    First, get a proper size scarf for the style. Before you put the scarf on, pin your hair up. Then take the scarf and stretch it out. Bring it under your hair at the back of your head and hold the two ends up in the air. Then cross the ends. Bring the ends back under the hair, cross them, then bring them up and tie them in a bow. If you take the two bows and tuck them under your scarf, that will lock your scarf in.

    What should I do if I have freckles and pimples that won't go away?
    Community Answer
    Embrace your freckles! It is important that you learn to love them. To avoid getting more freckles, use a moisturizer with SPF and avoid laying out in the sun as much as possible. For the pimples, make sure all of your makeup is completely off. Try to keep excess oil out of problem areas but make sure not to over cleanse. Sometimes a little salicylic acid will do wonders for shrinking zits, but it's also easy to overuse and dry out the skin. Be sure to follow any pimple treatment with a good moisturizer.
  • Question
    How do I wake up beautiful if I like to sleep on my stomach?
    Community Answer
    Remove all makeup before bed so it doesn't smudge all over your face - this allows your pillowcase to stay clean, too. Make sure you don't have thick moisturizers, lotions or masks on your face when you sleep on you stomach; make sure you let it absorb or apply a thin layer.
  • Question
    Will getting the silk or satin pillow case make it so I can sleep on my side/stomach?
    Community Answer
    No. Silk or satin pillow cases will be gentler on your hair and face, but it will not prevent the puffiness and extra oil that comes from sleeping on your side or stomach.
  • Question
    How can I prevent puffy eyes?
    Community Answer
    Possibly just sleeping on your back or using a pillowcase made from a soft material like silk.
  • Question
    Does going to bed early or late affect your skin?
    Community Answer
    Going early is a great way to get beauty sleep. Going late will make you feel lazy in the morning, and give you eye bags.
  • Question
    What is a humidifier, and how do I use it?
    Community Answer
    A humidifier is a machine that projects moisture into the air from a reservoir tank through a fan. Use differs by manufacturer, but in general, you fill the tank with water and set fan speed to low/medium/high, depending on how much you want to humidify the air in the room. Some humidifiers will allow you to set the desired humidity and will automatically turn on/off as needed.
  • Question
    What can I do if I don't want to put lotion on?
    Community Answer
    Use an oil serum on your face to hydrate the skin. If it's the texture/feeling of lotion that bothers you, I suggest shopping around until you find one you like, because it's important to keep your skin hydrated. If you really can't do the lotion or oils, use rosewater or something similar in a spray bottle and spray it on your face and let it dry to soak in some moisture. Also, use a moisturizing face mask at night, and run a humidifier while you sleep.
  • Question
    How do I wake up beautiful if I don't like using lotion?
    Community Answer
    You can always use skin oils. Vitamin E oil is a good skin moisturizer, and so is coconut oil. You might also like to try a few different facial moisturizers and see if you can find one you don't dislike as much.
  • Question
    Are there any alternatives to sleeping on my back for this?
    Community Answer
    Use a satin pillowcase, and only apply a thin layer of cream, as it may go all over your pillowcase. Also wash your pillowcase frequently, at least once a week, and perhaps wear a headband, to stop your hair from sticking to your face.
  • Question
    Is it natural to have a puffy face every time I wake up?
    Community Answer
    Not really. If this keeps happening, consult your doctor. It could be because you aren't getting enough sleep or it could be a sign of an underlying illness.
  • Question

    Sleep on your side, and make sure that you have a silk pillowcase to help.

    Lie flat on your back. Place a pillow underneath your knees, and make sure you are comfortable. Also, use a small rolled-up towel on your back if that isn't enough. Always sit up/stand up straight to keep a good posture.

    If you can, buy a silk or satin pillowcase because these can help prevent damage on your hair. Also, wearing your hair in a hair wrap or sleeping in your back can also protect your hair.

    If you don't see yourself as beautiful, others won't either. Everyone is beautiful in their own way. You just have to learn how to enhance the best parts of you and have confidence in yourself. if you want to become more beautiful, visit a dermatologist or do some research so you can develop a good skincare routine to produce beautiful, healthy skin. If you want, you can try makeup, too, but make sure to get the right shades for your skin tone. Don't allow the opinions of others to control what you do.
