Tired of dry, flaky skin? Shoppers say this under $50 moisturizer works wonders in JUST Days
Dry skin is the absolute worst, and if you're like me, you've probably suffered from peeling skin at some point in your life. Till this day, I still wake up with extremely dry skin between my eyebrows, and very few moisturizers can actually help keep that area hydrated all day long.
One such formula comes from EltaMD in the form of their EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer. This top-rated moisturizer is under $50 and can help protect and replenish your moisture barrier.
The EltaMD AM Restore Moisturizer is designed to thicken your facial skin's epidermis and uses a blend of vitamin B3, hyaluronic acid, and caffeine, among other ingredients.
It has many benefits apart from hydrating your skin. It also reduces redness, smooths skin texture, and improves skin tone and texture. It also reduces dark spots from UV damage and delivers visibly brighter skin, according to the brand.
It's oil- and fragrance-free too, making this a great option for sensitive skin. All you need to do is apply pearl-sized dots to your skin after using your favorite serum. Then, massage it into your face gently using circular motions. From there, add a sunscreen to seal in the moisturizer, and you're good to go!
EltaMD's products also come dermatologist-tested and recommended, so you know you're buying a quality product that's actually good for you. And while this is a daily morning moisturizer, you can also buy the PM version of the same if you need an extra boost of hydration as the day ends.
EltaMD shoppers seem to love this product too, giving it a 4.6-star rating.
'Love this. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and use this periodically if I am feeling dry. It does not cause breakouts and moisturizes well,' says one shopper.
'Lightweight and oil-free, perfect for daily use. Hydrates deeply without clogging pores – great for acne-prone or combo skin. Smooths and brightens the skin over time,' adds another reviewer.
'My daughter is an NP who specializes in skin care. She recommended this moisturizer and I just love it,' says a third.

Cavinder twins post update on their recovery from boob-job surgery after going under the knife together
The Cavinder twins have shared an update on their recovery from boob-job surgery, as the influencers and former college basketball players said they are 'feeling good.' The 24-year-old sisters, who wrapped up their collegiate careers last year with the University of Miami, shared with their fans on Wednesday that they were set to undergo the surgery. They later released a video on social media showing them resting in hospital beds, with Haley confirming that the procedures went to plan while Hanna was still feeling the effects of the anesthesia at the time. On Friday, they seemed to be doing even better as they took a light stroll on a treadmill. Haley explained that the twins had only been cleared for extremely light movement and were not supposed to sweat, so they walked a relaxed mile inside at the gym. Hanna, meanwhile, added that she had felt some 'tightness' on Friday morning and experienced a bit of bleeding the day prior. Nonetheless, the sisters seem to be adjusting to their new reality. 'I think this is a huge test for Hanna and I,' Haley said. 'Because we are so regimented when it comes to workouts, steps, nutrition, and this is allowing us to really slow down and listen to your body.' Haley added that the pair planned to do some bra shopping following their procedures. The twins announced their surgery on Wednesday after sharing a short clip on social media of Haley being seen to by a nurse in bed and Hanna walking up to the camera. 'Still trying to figure out how being 3 minutes older means she gets her job first,' Hanna wrote as the caption, clearly showing no nerves ahead of her procedure. Haley later posted a clip on TikTok of Hanna looking dazed in her hospital bed before explaining: 'I am an hour out and she is an hour out. I think that the doctor said she needed more anesthesia because Hanna's like very wired if you haven't realized that compared to me. So I think mine wore off way more.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Haley & Hanna Cavinder (@cavindertwins) The duo capitalized on their fame as college basketball players with the Miami Hurricanes to become a huge presence together as social media influencers. They have 4.6million followers on TikTok, and last year walked the runway for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's fashion show in Miami Haley is engaged to NFL star Jake Ferguson, who plays for the Dallas Cowboys. Hanna, meanwhile, was recently dating college football star Carson Beck, but they split earlier this year with Hanna accusing him of infidelity.

Man wearing metal necklace pulled into MRI machine in New York
A man wearing a large metal necklace was pulled into an MRI machine in New York. The 61-year-old, who has not been named, was pulled by the machine's strong magnetic force after he entered a room at the Nassau Open MRI clinic while a scan was under way, Nassau County Police said. It is unknown why the man entered the room or if he was a patient at the clinic. Police added that the accident on Wednesday afternoon "resulted in a medical episode" and left the man in a critical condition in hospital. There was no update on his condition on Friday. MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The machines use strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. Due to the magnetic fields, "very powerful forces" are exerted on objects made of iron, some steels, and other magnetic materials, the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering says. It says the forces are "strong enough to fling a wheelchair across the room".

Dirty habit of 18 million Americans linked to 'significant' surge in psychotic episodes
Doctors nationwide are warning of a sharp rise in psychotic episodes tied to high-potency marijuana products, which are now far stronger than in decades past. Some marijuana vapes contain up to 98 percent THC, the chemical responsible for the drug's psychoactive effects, levels that experts say are driving a surge in mental health crises. Dr Drew Pinsky, an addiction specialist and TV personality, said Friday: 'The concentration of cannabis is so high… we are seeing a significant uptick in psychotic illness,' adding that cannabis 'makes people with psychotic illness much worse.' The warnings come as marijuana legalization continues to expand. Recreational use is now legal in 24 states and Washington, DC, creating a $20 billion industry, and a black market, flooded with ultra-potent products in the form of edibles, dabs, oils, and vapes. Doctors and researchers have said that these products are fueling a public health crisis that is still unfolding. 'We've seen the marked incidence of trouble, mostly caused by the high potency of cannabis,' Dr Drew said. 'So now we are seeing people who are unable to function, they have difficulty at work, psychotic episodes, mood disturbances, and severe addiction.' Polling from 2023 suggests nearly 44 million Americans use marijuana, with 18 million consuming it daily or near daily. Many seek it out to ease anxiety or depression. But growing research shows high doses of THC may do just the opposite, disrupting mood, distorting reality, and triggering temporary or even prolonged psychosis. The issue is especially concerning in young adults, whose brains are still developing. Regular use of potent cannabis in adolescence has been linked to long-term changes in brain structure, particularly in the prefrontal cortex, the region responsible for decision-making, emotional regulation, and impulse control. This is also the age when many psychotic disorders first appear. Emerging data suggest the link is more than just a coincidence. THC may trigger schizophrenia or psychotic episodes in individuals with genetic predispositions. A 2022 review by University of Bath researchers, which analyzed 20 studies involving 120,000 people, found users of high-potency cannabis were four times more likely to develop addiction and three to five times more likely to suffer a psychotic break compared to those using lower-potency strains. Earlier this year, a report in JAMA Network Open found that, emergency room visits in Ontario, Canada, linked to schizophrenia in marijuana users tripled after legalization. Between 2006 and 2022, the rate of schizophrenia among those with cannabis use disorder climbed from four percent to over 10 percent. In contrast, just 0.6 percent of non-users developed the condition. Doctors across the US have echoed the concerns raised by Dr Drew since the wave of state-level legalization began about 15 years ago. What was once considered a mellow, low-risk drug is now being reexamined in light of products that bear little resemblance to the marijuana of past generations. Between 1995 and 2022, THC levels in cannabis seized by law enforcement quadrupled, from 3.96 percent to 16.14 percent, while modern concentrates can exceed 90 percent. Despite the public perception of marijuana as a natural remedy for anxiety or depression, the evidence is mounting that today's potent products come with serious psychological risks. Millions who turn to marijuana for relief may be unaware of its potential to cause temporary psychosis lasting hours, days, or even months. And while marijuana may not lead to physical dependence like opioids or alcohol, experts say the psychological grip can be just as damaging. As legalization spreads and access grows, the consequences are becoming harder to ignore. With each new study, the case against high-potency marijuana, and its role in rising mental health issues, continues to build. In 2023, the journal Psychological Medicine published the largest epidemiological investigation to date that focused exclusively on the link between cannabis use and schizophrenia. Researchers analyzed Danish health records from 1972 to 2021, spanning 6.9 million individuals, which revealed that 30 percent of schizophrenia cases in men aged 21 to 30 (roughly 3,000 diagnoses) could have been avoided if they had not developed cannabis use disorder. When researchers broadened their analysis to include a wider age group (ages 16 to 49, instead of just 21 to 30), the estimated impact of cannabis use disorder on schizophrenia risk decreased to 15 percent. Carsten Hjorthøj, the study's lead author and an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, told Scientific American: 'We found that the proportion of cases of schizophrenia that were attributable to cannabis use disorder, and those that might have been prevented, was much higher in males than females and, in particular, younger males in whom the brain is still maturing. 'And we saw that this increase was taking place over time, completely in parallel with the increasing potency of cannabis.' The brain adapts to frequent THC exposure by dialing down its natural cannabinoid production, which helps regulate both mood and appetite. Chronic use teaches the brain to rely on external THC instead of making its own neurotransmitters, a process called neuroadaptation. It can take weeks or months for this balance to reset, which can trigger irritability, insomnia, or cravings. For heavy users, these withdrawal symptoms are distressing enough that some clinics prescribe medications like gabapentin to ease the transition.
