How to keep your skin glowing this winter

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:12:24 GMT

Between the cold outside and the heat inside, these months can be tough on skin. But doctors say adopting a few simple practices can keep you hydrated and youthful in winter.If you find yourself feeling uncomfortable in your own skin this time of year, D.C.-area dermatologists said it’s because of a loss of moisture.“It’s really due to the cold air, the dry indoor heats, low humidity levels, and just the wind and cold, that can really impact our skin that way,” said Dr. Tola Oyesanya, a dermatologist with Kaiser Permanente.Oyesanya told WTOP that step one to moisturized skin this winter is colder showers.“I know people enjoy those hot, long steamy showers. But that’s the best way to suck moisture out of your skin,” she said.“Lukewarm showers are better [this season],” she went on, “and if you really can’t do without your hot shower, make it much shorter than average.”Oyesanya also said you need to moisturize after you...

Hubble telescope spies mysterious shadows on Saturn’s rings

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 07:12:24 GMT

(CNN) — The Hubble Space Telescope captured a newly revealed image of the mysterious, ghostly shadows on Saturn’s rings — the latest sighting of the so-called “spokes” that continue to baffle scientists.The composite photo, released Thursday by NASA, was taken by Hubble on October 22 as Saturn was about 850 million miles (1.37 billion kilometers) away, according to the space agency. The space observatory has been orbiting Earth just a few hundred miles above the surface for more than three decades.Astronomers have long known about the perplexing spokes on Saturn’s rings, which look like apparitions skating along the rings and can be spotted in various locations depending on where the planet is in its orbital cycle.Over time, observations have revealed that the number and appearance of the spokes can vary depending on Saturn’s seasonal cycle. Similar to Earth, the planet has an axis with a tilt that causes seasonal changes, though each season on Saturn lasts about seven years, accord...
