I have a confession to make: Last year I made a silly skin-care mistake that I, a journalist who’s researched and written about beauty for over a decade, shouldn’t have made. I chose not to listen to my dermatologist when he told me my skin was too sensitive for tretinoin (a type of retinol), and I went behind his back and got a prescription. You know what happened next—I learned my lesson. My skin turned into a dry, red, splotchy, scaly mess, and stayed that way for months. I was only recently able to bring it back to a healthy state after replacing tretinoin with a different anti-aging product perfect for those of us with sensitive skin: SkinCeuticals’s Metacell Renewal B3 Niacinamide Moisturizer.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
