[TOPIC 01] Worst-Paid College Majors

Counseling and Psychology

Median earnings per year: $29,000

While psychology majors earn less than any of the other 171 majors surveyed, there are opportunities within the field. According to the report, psych majors may find the most opportunity in the school-student counseling industry, a field that enjoys virtually no unemployment. But there is bad news for those interested in social psychology: that field ranked the highest in terms of unemployment at 16%.

Early-Childhood Education

Median earnings per year: $36,000

Unfortunately, the Georgetown report showed race and gender gaps persist in almost all fields, but particularly in majors dominated by women, like early-childhood education.

Drama and Theater Arts

Median earnings per year: $40,000

While actors in blockbuster movies may pull in big bucks, those who study drama and theater arts make substantially less. The low earnings here is probably due to the fact that so few in this field hit it big.

Human Services and Community Organizations

Median earnings per year: $38,000

The salary may be discouraging, but more grads are choosing to pursue jobs where giving back is part of the mission. Some are taking advantage of student-loan-forgiveness programs and a revived culture of service supported by a President who was once a community organizer himself.

[TOPIC 02] How To Get Perfect Skin

We all suffer from bad skin days from time to time, but there are many tips and tricks you can use to get perfect skin naturally. To make spots and blemishes a thing of the past, check out these six tips for clear skin.

1. Reduce your skin's contact to bacteria.

You may be surprised at how often your skin comes into contact with dirt and germs that can lead to acne. During the time you are asleep, your pillow comes into contact with makeup, skin oils and saliva, making it a breeding ground for bacteria that can worsen acne. Likewise, unwashed makeup brushes can spread bacteria to your skin. To minimize your skin's contact to bacteria, make sure you wash makeup brushes every two weeks and change your pillowcase regularly. Also, avoid touching your face as much as possible and clean your phone with antibacterial wipes before making calls.

2. Cleanse your skin properly.

If you suffer from oily or acne-prone skin it can be tempting to over-cleanse your skin to dry out oils and kill bacteria. However, cleansing your skin too frequently or using harsh cleansers can dry out your skin, causing flakiness which can clog pores. It can also cause your skin to produce more oils to compensate. Instead, wash your skin twice a day with a gentle, PH-neutral cleanser so as not to destroy the acid mantle of the skin, which protects against moisture loss and bacteria. Remove the cleanser with a muslin cloth to lightly exfoliate the skin.

3. Sip spearmint tea.

Acne is generally caused by hormones called androgens, which can over-stimulate the sebaceous glands leading to oily skin, blocked pores and spots. To counteract these effects, oral contraceptives are often prescribed to women suffering from acne. However, while beneficial for clearing spots, these contraceptive pills can have inconvenient and even dangerous side effects. Luckily, research suggests that spearmint tea has similar anti-androgen properties, which could help reduce acne and hormone imbalances in women.

4. Use spot-fighting makeup.

We all know what it's like to have a bad skin day when you just want to hide away under layers of makeup. However, while makeup can temporarily disguise the look of spots, it can also make the problem much worse. For confidence-boosting coverage that won't cause flare-ups, make sure you opt for non-comedogenic makeup that won't clog pores. To further increase the spot-fighting powers of your cosmetics, try using mineral makeup containing zinc oxide, which will fight against acne-causing bacteria.

5. Change your diet.

Eating a balanced diet with plenty of nutrients and antioxidants is one of the key factors behind beautiful looking skin. However, there are also certain foods you can cut back on or eat more of in order to help get rid of spots. Research suggests that dairy is a major precursor of acne for many people due to the hormones it contains. Plastic water bottles and food packaging can also leach out chemicals which can lead to hormone imbalance. Swap packaged foods for fresh, skin-friendly produce including lots of fruit and vegetables and foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

6. Find ways to deal with stress

Research findings published in the journal Archives of Dermatology suggest that high stress levels can significantly worsen acne. It is thought that this may be due to the fact that stress stimulates the production of hormones which stimulate oil production in the skin's sebaceous glands. Stress is also thought to instigate the release of chemicals which can lead to inflammation. To help keep your skin clear and spot-free, try to find healthy ways to deal with stress such as exercise, meditation or pampering. Try to talk through problems with someone else as well to help relieve any worries.

1. Are you following some of the tips?

2. Do you think that your skin reflects the general health of your body? Do you have good skin?

3. How do you take care of your skin?

4. Did you know that exercise helps improve skin elasticity and aids in new cell growth? How often do you exercise?

5. How much can you pay to improve your skin?
