The Caveman Skin Trend on TikTok is Clean Beauty at its Worst
The idea is that it's an elimination diet for your skin; an epidermal reset, if you will. 'For years, I picked and over-exfoliated and damaged my skin really badly … My skin is basically shedding all the damage and attempting to reregulate itself,' Zakher says in a video about the trend. Over the course of her attempt, which she says she did with guidance from her dermatologist, her skin looks as if it's pilling and then peeling off.

Air quality alert issued for Montreal area due to wildfire smoke
Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a special air quality statement for Montreal, Laval, Vaudreuil, Saint-Jean and the Marieville area. The agency says smoke from wildfires burning in the Prairies will cause poor air quality and reduced visibility until Sunday. The statement warns that people over 65, pregnant people, infants and children and people with existing illnesses or chronic health conditions are most at risk of health effects from air pollution. Vulnerable groups are advised to avoid strenuous outdoor activities and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms. 'You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. If you think you are having a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance,' Environment Canada said. 'When indoors, keep windows and doors closed as much as possible. When there is an extreme heat event occurring with poor air quality, prioritize keeping cool.' The agency also recommends wearing a well-fitting respirator-type mask when venturing outside, which can reduce exposure to the fine particles in the smoke.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires brings unhealthy air to large swaths of the Midwest
Smoke from Canadian wildfires hovered over several Midwestern states Saturday, bringing warnings of unhealthy air for at least the third day. Air quality alerts were in effect in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, as well as eastern Nebraska and parts of Indiana and Illinois. Forecasters said the smoky skies would remain for much of the day. People with lung disease, heart disease, children, older adults and pregnant women are most susceptible to the poor breathing conditions. Canadian environmental officials said smoke from forest fires that was causing reduced visibility and poor quality would persist into Sunday for some areas. The Switzerland-based air quality monitoring database IQAir, which assesses air quality in real time, listed the city of Minneapolis as having some of the worst air pollution in the world since Friday. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach the red or unhealthy category in a large swath of Minnesota and will likely remain through Saturday. AQI is a system used to communicate how much air pollution is in the air. It breaks pollution down into six categories and colors, and advice on what isn't safe to do. They range from 'good' (the color green) to 'hazardous' (maroon). The smoke could start to decline beginning Saturday before spreading as far south as Tennessee and Missouri. The air could remain unhealthy for sensitive groups through Monday, state health officials said. The EPA's Air Quality Index converts all pollutant levels into a single number. The lower the number, the better. Anything below 50 is classified as 'healthy.' Fifty to 100 is 'moderate' while 100-150 is unhealthy for 'sensitive groups.' Anything above 150 is bad for everyone. Parts of Minnesota exceeded that number on Saturday. Health officials advise people with asthma and other lung disease, heart disease, children and older adults to avoid prolonged exposure to smoke and limit strenuous activities. They said to avoid burning things that could make the air pollution worse, and keep windows and doors closed to keep the smoke from getting inside. ___ The Associated Press receives support from the Walton Family Foundation for coverage of water and environmental policy.
