EltaMD UV Daily 2025 Amazon Prime Day Deal
EltaMD is the GOAT of US sunscreen brands. They make a ton of different SPFs, from waterproof mineral sunscreens to sunscreen sticks, but there's one formula in particular that I recommend to literally everyone: UV Daily. EltaMD's UV Daily is the closest thing to a universal sunscreen for everyday use, and lucky for you guys, it's 20 percent off right now for Amazon Prime Day.
The formula is lightweight and fast-absorbing, moisturizing but not at all greasy, and comes in an untinted version as well as two tinted versions. The tints are sheer and adaptable—there's one for light to medium skin tones and one for deeper skin tones—and are great for blurring the look of redness, dark spots, and blotchiness. The tint doesn't replace face makeup like a traditional tinted moisturizer or skin tint, but is a nice base for no-makeup makeup days.
On most mornings, I'll use UV Daily after my Rx azelaic acid cream as my face moisturizer and sunscreen in one. In the summer, the formula is hydrating enough for my oily skin (thanks to hyaluronic acid) that I can skip moisturizer entirely. (If your skin is on the drier side, I'd definitely layer it over a lightweight moisturizer, though.) It's also tested to be non-comedogenic (or non-pore-clogging), and I can confirm, as someone with very acne-prone skin, that this SPF has never been the cause of my breakouts.
UV Daily is a hybrid sunscreen, which means it uses both mineral and chemical blockers (specifically zinc oxide and octinoxate) to protect skin from UV damage. Now normally I only use mineral sunscreen (my sensitive, acne-prone skin just does better with it), but I've never had any issues with the chemical filter in this formula exacerbating redness or inflammation.
All in all, EltaMD's UV Daily is one of those sunscreens that I continually keep in my rotation (despite being sent dozens of new sunscreens to test and review each month) and always recommend to friends. Even the ones who are super picky about skincare always end up texting me saying how UV Daily is the best SPF they've ever tried.

Dozens killed as Palestinians in Gaza scramble for aid from air and land
Advertisement As international alarm has mounted, several countries have airdropped aid over Gaza. The U.N. and aid groups call such drops costly and dangerous for residents, and say they deliver far less aid than trucks. AP video shows scramble for airdropped aid Many food parcels dropped by air have splashed into the Mediterranean Sea or landed in so-called red zones from which Israel's military has ordered people to evacuate. In either case, Palestinians risk their lives to get flour and other basic goods. On Monday, Palestinians cheered as pallets of aid were parachuted over Zuweida in central Gaza. Associated Press footage showed a desperate scramble when the parcels hit the ground, with hundreds of people racing toward them. Fistfights broke out and some men wielded batons. 'I wish they would deliver it through the (land) crossings,' Rabah Rabah said earlier as he waited for the airdrop. 'This is inhuman.' Advertisement At least one parcel fell on a tent where displaced people had been sheltering, injuring a man who was taken to a hospital. His condition was not immediately known. Dozens killed seeking aid At least 16 people were killed late Sunday near the Israeli-controlled Zikim Crossing, the main entry point for aid to northern Gaza, according to records at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, which showed that more than 130 people were wounded. The circumstances were not immediately clear, but the crossing has seen several shootings in recent days that witnesses and health officials blamed on Israeli forces. There was no immediate comment from the military. At least 10 people were killed as thousands waited for aid trucks in the Morag Corridor, which the Israeli military carved out between the southern cities of Khan Younis and Rafah. Mohammed al-Masri, who was among the crowds, said Israeli forces opened fire when a group of young men tried to make their way to the front. 'The occupation forces shot many people in the head and in the back,' he said, adding that he saw four wounded people, one motionless on the ground. Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said it received 10 bodies from Morag and another five who were killed near an aid site in southern Gaza run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an Israeli-backed American contractor. GHF said there were no violent incidents at or near its sites. It said a new U.N. route runs near two of its sites in the south and has drawn large crowds of people who unload the convoys. GHF says its contractors have only used pepper spray or fired warning shots on a few occasions to prevent deadly crowding since it opened four sites in May. Advertisement 'It's a death trap' Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza said it received the bodies of eight people killed near a GHF site in the Israeli-controlled Netzarim Corridor, and that another 50 people were wounded. Witnesses and health officials said Israeli forces had fired toward the crowds. An Associated Press photo showed a man carrying a body away from the site, as others hauled bags of food. 'It's like yesterday, and the day before,' said Ayman Ruqab, a young Palestinian who said he had tried unsuccessfully to reach the site for the past three days. 'It's a death trap.' The Israeli military said it fired warning shots at people who approached 'in a manner that posed a threat to the troops,' without elaborating. It said it was not aware of any casualties. Hamas-led militants killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 251 in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that ignited the war. They still hold 50 hostages, around 20 of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefires or other deals. Israel's retaliatory military offensive has killed more than 60,900 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The ministry, which doesn't distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count but says around half the dead have been women and children, is staffed by medical professionals. The U.N. and other independent experts view its figures as the most reliable casualty count. Israel has disputed the figures but hasn't provided its own. ___ Magdy reported from Cairo.

More early stage colon cancers found due to more screenings, research shows
As more people aged 45-49 are getting screened for colon cancer, more early stage diagnoses are being made, according to new research from the American Cancer Society. The research, published in two studies Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed increases in screenings among those younger than 50 is linked to rises in earlier diagnosis. One study showed an annual increase of 1.1% from 2004 to 2019 jumped to 12% from 2019 to 2022 for colorectal cancer incidence among people aged 45 to 49, while another study showed screenings among U.S. adults aged 45 to 49 increase 62% from 2019 to 2023. The recommended age to begin colorectal screening was lowered from 50 to 45 by the ACS in 2018 and by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in 2021. In a news release Monday, Elizabeth Schafer, lead author and surveillance and health equity scientist, called the findings "promising news." "The uptick of cases is likely due to first-time screening in the wake of new recommendations for younger average-risk adults to begin testing for colorectal cancer earlier," Schafer explained. Another lead author, Jessica Star, who does cancer risk factors and screening surveillance research at the ACS, said it's "thrilling" to see increases in screening rates among younger adults as well as its likely ties into rises in earlier stage diagnosis. Still, she warned there's a long way to go. "Screening for colorectal caner in ages 45-49 remains suboptimal and has not increased equitably by both education attainment and insurance status," Star said in the release. Recently, medical associations expressed concern after a report that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy may remove all members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of independent medical experts whose recommendations help guide insurance companies and doctors' decisions about a range of preventive health measures, like cancer screenings. Dr. Thomas Lew, an assistant clinical professor of medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine and attending physician of hospital medicine at Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley, recently told CBS News that a change like this would "greatly damage all the work we've done in preventative care, making people sicker, and driving up costs and premiums." "To put it mildly, this is extremely concerning — and doing the opposite of making America healthy," Lew said. In a statement to CBS News at the time, an HHS spokesperson said, "No final decision has been made on how the USPSTF can better support HHS' mandate to Make America Healthy Again."

Saquon Barkley says he's not a member of President Trump's Council on Sports Nutrition
Eagles All-Pro RB says he is not joining Harrison Butker, Nick Bosa, Tony Romo, and Lawrence Taylor on President Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.' In a move that will revive a standard from the Reagan, Clinton, and Bush era, Harrison Butker, Nick Bosa, Tony Romo, and Lawrence Taylor will join President Trump's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.' One athlete and sports star who won't be participating is Eagles' All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley. Following Monday's practice, Barkley disputed the initial press release, stating that he will not be a member of the presidential council. According to the Washington Post, President Trump on Thursday announced that the presidential fitness test, a hallmark of American physical education programs, will be making a comeback in public schools. The assessment was retired and replaced by a fitness program under the Obama administration. The presidential fitness test was initiated in the 1950s by a council established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower that was directed to improve the physical fitness of American youths, in response to fears they were falling behind their European counterparts when it came to athleticism. The project is an alternative way to get anti-obesity drugs to Medicare and Medicaid patients, after the administration said in April that neither program would cover GLP-1s for weight loss. In doing so, it scrapped a 2024 Biden administration proposal for the programs to start covering GLP-1s for patients with obesity. Several high-profile athletes — all of whom have existing ties to Trump — attended the ceremony and will serve on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition. The attendees included professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau, who will chair the council; controversial National Football League kicker Harrison Butker; World Wrestling Entertainment mainstay Paul 'Triple H' Levesque; golfer Annika Sorenstam; and football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor. The Eagles running back wasn't in attendance and said he was shocked to hear his name mentioned. The list also includes NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, whom Trump repeatedly scrutinized during his first presidential term. Barkley was criticized during the off-season for spending time with President Trump on a golf outing prior to the Eagles' ring celebration.
