Helpful Tip

When taking a shower or cleaning your face always use warm water not hot. If you use hot it will make your skin dry and itchy. Also never rub hard, gently scrub your face and body until clean. When your in the shower, also make the water a little cooler as your about to get out. So this way when you get out, the air outside the bathroom won't be so cold. :)
