Sharpen Your Look on the Fly

The Problem

The Solution

Wet your hands in the sink, then flick some water on the wrinkled areas. Hold the fabric under the hand dryer, pulling the fabric taut. Then, while the fabric is still warm, work the fabric with your hand to smooth any leftover wrinkles.

The Problem

The Solution

The best way to get rid of the grease on your face is to absorb it. Oddly, one of the best materials to soak up oil is one of those flimsy toilet seat covers. Most have a slick side and a matte side—you want to use the matte side, pressed against the face rather than dragged.

The Problem

The Solution

Take three paper towels and put a small shot of soap on two, but only wet one of them. Head into a stall and scrub your armpits with the wet soapy towel. Dry them off with the dry towel, then wipe them with the soap-only towel. This kills the offending bacteria while leaving behind just enough scent to get you through the rest of the day.

The Problem

The Solution

If you have product in your hair, it can be revived with a little water. Not too much—you want to rework it, not wash it out. Wet your hands and then run them through the sides of your hair, smoothing any loose ends sticking out around your ears. Then lightly go over the top to tame any messy tufts.

The Problem

The Solution

When you've got a stain on your shirt or pants you've got two options. If you can remove the item of clothing, dampen the stained area with some warm water and a bit of soap, then rub the fabric into itself to agitate the offending stain. If taking off the item isn't an option, wet a paper towel, add a little soap and rub on the stain. Use another wet towel to "rinse" the area and blot with a dry towel. Whichever method you use, once you've worked out the stain dry the fabric under the hand dryer.
