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...A 6-year-old boy traveling alone for Christmas was put on the wrong Spirit flight

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — A 6-year-old boy who left on a flight for the Christmas holiday to visit his grandmother in southwest Florida instead was put on the wrong plane and ended up 160 miles away in Orlando, Florida.When the grandmother, Maria Ramos, showed up on Thursday at Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers to greet her grandson who was flying for the first time from Philadelphia, she was told he wasn’t on the Spirit Airlines flight. “I ran inside the plane to the flight attendant and I asked her, ‘Where’s my grandson? He was handed over to you at Philadelphia?’ She said, ‘No, I had no kids with me,’” Ramos told WINK News.She then got a call from her grandson from the airport in Orlando, telling her that he had landed.In a statement, Spirit Airlines said the boy was under the care and supervision of an airlines employee the entire time, even though he was incorrectly boarded on a flight to Orlando. Once the mistake was discovered, the airlines let t...Hubble telescope spies mysterious shadows on Saturn’s rings

(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...‘Parasite’ actor Lee Sun-kyun found dead in midst of drug probe, police say

MOSCOW (AP) — A Russian politician calling for peace in Ukraine on Wednesday lost her appeal against election officials’ refusal to accept her nomination for the country’s presidential race that President Vladimir Putin is all but certain to win.Former regional legislator Yekaterina Duntsova has promoted her vision of a “humane” Russia “that’s peaceful, friendly and ready to cooperate with everyone on the principle of respect.”The tight control that Putin has established during 24 years in power makes his reelection in March’s presidential vote all but assured. Prominent critics who could challenge him are either in prison or living abroad, and most independent media have been banned.Over the weekend, Russia’s Central Election Commission refused to accept Duntsova’s initial nomination by a group of supporters, citing errors in the paperwork, including spelling.On Wednesday, Russia’s Supreme Court rejected Duntsova’s appeal against the commission...Latest news
