    If you have acne, wash twice a day with a mild cleanse. Pluck your eyebrows to give it a more natural shape. Put on daily moisturizer so your skin isn't dry, and keep lips smooth with lip balm.
  • Question
    What can I do if my hair is too curly?
    Community Answer
    You could straighten your hair regularly, either chemically or using a straightener, but this method is going to damage your hair over time. (If you do choose to straighten it, make sure to use some kind of heat protectant spray.) If you want your curls to be more manageable, try using a shampoo and conditioner designed for curly hair. (If your curls are dry and frizzy, look for a shampoo and conditioner that's specifically designed to moisturize your hair.) Also, use a leave-in conditioner and some styling gel to keep your curls looking nice.

  • Question
    How do I change my voice when I sound dishonest?
    Community Answer
    Generally speaking, if you believe in what you say with sincerity, the other person will hear that in your tone of voice and see it in your body language. In any case, it can be useful to make sure that your tone of voice and choice of words match your body language and overall content of what you are expressing. For instance, if I am telling someone that I care about them and love them, I do that with a tone of voice that sounds sincere by putting some emotion in my voice that matches that and use body language that fits. It also helps if you are usually honest with people and upfront and do not lie to them or make too many sarcastic jokes. That way you build up trust and a reputation.
  • Question
    How do I get rid of oily skin and chapped lips?
    Community Answer
    When you wash your face, make sure your hands are clean first. Try to find a cleanser that meets your needs. Avoid greasy foods. Use chapstick or lip balm for your chapped lips and if that doesn't work, talk to your doctor because you might be allergic to something and that is making your lips chapped.
  • Question
    I have noticeable hair on my upper lip and my parents don't allow me to do anything about it. But they make fun of me about it. What can I do?
    Community Answer
    Consider waxing it off. Tell your parents you want to wax your legs and buy waxing strips made for sensitive skin. Cut the strips into an appropriate size and wax your upper lip. Do not wax anywhere else on your face though. Also, it will hurt and it can leave red marks, which they may make comments about. You could also ask them to give you help instead of being unkind to you about it; ask them how they would feel if someone mocked them for something that is a natural part of them.
