A Derm's Guide to Simplifying Your Skin-Care Routine Without Sacrificing Results
The more work you put into something, the better the outcome, right? Actually, it's not always so when it comes to your skin-care routine. While there's nothing wrong with using double digits' worth of products if you really want to, you can achieve results with much less time, effort, and counter real estate, according to Dr. Hadley King, a New York City-based board-certified dermatologist. It's all about identifying your main skin goals, and then choosing products with formulas that work harder for your needs. 'Skin minimalism doesn't mean that you're choosing just one ingredient to use, or a single skin concern to focus on,' Dr. King says. 'Well-formulated products smartly incorporate multiple ingredients in one—so you don't need to use 10 products to reap major benefits.' Here, the derm shares her top tips for building an efficient, results-driven routine, as well as why Rodan + Fields is her recommended brand to do it with. Take the guesswork out of the equation. Dr. King is a fan of Rodan + Fields because the female-founded brand offers dermatologist-developed regimens created for different skin concerns, each with three to four complete steps. 'So much thought has been put into the ingredient combinations in each formula, and the products are engineered to work together,' she says. The options include Redefine, an anti-aging system that lifts, firms, and visibly minimizes the appearance of lines; Unblemish, which works to clear and prevent breakouts as well as to visibly minimize the look of pores and fine lines; and Reverse, designed to target discoloration and dark spots at every step. If you're struggling with where in your routine you can downsize, Dr. King suggests wiping the slate clean and going back to the essentials. 'The basics are always going to be a gentle cleanser, a moisturizer, and SPF that all support the skin barrier,' she says. This simple combination is key in addressing so many skin concerns, from dehydration and sensitivity to signs of aging and skin-cancer prevention. This step is where your skin's unique needs really take center stage. Once you've built a solid base, consider your most pressing concerns—acne, wrinkles, dullness—and then look for a treatment product with active ingredients that are proven to target them, such as a concentrated serum. To effectively tackle adult acne, for example, Dr. King recommends Rodan + Fields Unblemish Dual Intensive Acne Treatment, which you can purchase solo or as part of the Unblemish Regimen. 'As you get older, you need to be cautious to choose acne products your skin can tolerate,' she says, noting that harsh formulas that work on teen skin can be too irritating for adults. In addition to 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide to clear and prevent blemishes, the multitasking Unblemish treatment also contains pomegranate and chamomile extracts to calm redness, and ceramides to condition, hydrate, and visibly plump. Or to target multiple signs of aging in one step, look for a serum with proven ingredients that firm, boost cell turnover, hydrate, and defend against the environmental aggressors that cause these concerns—like Rodan + Fields Total RF Serum. It features the brand's patented RF TriEnergy Complex, which revitalizes compromised skin cells for a more youthful appearance, and also works to address uneven tone and texture, dullness, dry skin, and enlarged pores.

Letters: Republican spending cuts threaten my son David and other people who need Medicaid
Robin Hood took from the rich and gave to the poor. Congressional Republicans are now poised to play Reverse Robin Hood. Their budget committees are in the process of cutting $880 billion in spending, mostly from Medicaid, in order to offset tax cuts for billionaires and profitable corporations. Medicaid cuts would be devastating for some of the most vulnerable people in Illinois — individuals with intellectual disabilities. Because of a pre-birth brain injury, my adult son David requires 24/7 care. He lives in a Medicaid-funded group home and receives Medicaid-funded day training, both in Elgin. The federal government pays 51% of his service costs and Illinois, 49%. Any reduction in federal funding would strip away access to vital services David needs to live a full life in the community. Why are Republicans determined to hurt people who don't deserve it? So the richest Americans can own even more. There are 900 billionaires in the U.S., with a combined wealth of more than $5 trillion. Their riches have almost doubled in the last four years. You don't have to be a moral genius to know that it's just plain wrong to shred safety net programs that David relies on in order to give massive tax cuts to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. David isn't a number — he's a real person. Who will be hurt? Congressional legislators are in their home offices right now. Tell them to reject harmful cuts to Medicaid. — James B. Gould, Carpentersville Americans oppose cuts An overwhelming majority of Americans oppose cuts to critical programs including Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare, food assistance and K-12 education. That opposition extends across party lines, with more than 60% of Donald Trump voters opposing cuts to Medicaid. I have worked in health care as a crisis therapist for 20-plus years. I'm married to a union firefighter and am a mother of two teen boys. Education is the foundation of a healthy, successful society. Health care is a human right, and families struggling with an illness or disability need support — not worry over costs for care. — Heather Namors, Chicago Trickle-down failure So the House has voted to cut Medicaid and nutritional programs to make budget room for tax cuts for those with higher incomes. This is blatantly taking from the poor to give to the rich, denying those who need help in favor of those who don't. If you're thinking 'trickle-down,' think about whether it's ever worked in the 50 years or more the GOP has been pushing it. Here's a hint: No, it hasn't. One clear demonstration: In a highly visible test, the Kansas experiment of the previous decade nearly bankrupted the state and drove the governor out of office. Look it up. Whether it's driven by clueless detachment, simple selfishness, a 'because we can' power grab or cruelty for its own sake, this is simply wrong. And it's being done by government officials who are working to disenfranchise voters and support the kidnapping, deportation and incarceration of legal residents without due process. If you're not appalled, please explain. — Bill Page, Morton Grove Trump's tariff victory An April 10 headline in the Tribune print edition reads, 'Trump retreats on some tariffs.' Why can't the Tribune call it what it is — an evolving great victory on the part of President Donald Trump? Nearly 100 countries were hit with tariffs by Trump because of their tariffs against American products, often high and occasionally extreme. The intent was in part payback for the high tariffs imposed on us, but also to force trade negotiations that are more fair to and for America. According to the Trump administration, more than 75 countries came running to America wanting to negotiate fair or no tariffs with America. That is a major win for Trump and not retreating. Common sense. Trump is holding back on the tariffs for those countries to give them time to seek negotiations on a fair trade deal. That so far appears to be a major victory, not a retreat. — E L Foertsch, Chicago American manufacturing During the summer of 1964, I worked on the frying pan cover assembly line at the sprawling Sunbeam Corp. plant on Chicago's West Side where the majority of the inventory of Sunbeam products was produced and sent all over the country. My job involved taking a frying pan cover off a conveyor belt, using a press to punch a hole, attaching a fly wheel and returning the finished product to the conveyor belt. My fellow workers were good, hardworking neighbors including African Americans, refugees from Eastern Europe escaping the tyranny of the Soviet Union and workers from the mid-South (Kentucky and Tennessee) looking for better jobs in Chicago. Needless to say, today, those types of jobs would be performed by automation and robotics. Only 8% of our workforce is now employed in manufacturing; if my fellow workers from Sunbeam and I were looking for work this summer, we would probably look to the service industry (maybe hospitality careers), which now employs 80% of our workforce and especially those with limited job skills. No amount of tariffs, legislation and incentives from state and federal governments, and pressure on American industry, will bring back my job making frying pan covers. American manufacturing will look very different in the future and require new skills. And we need to raise salaries and benefits significantly for those in the service industry to provide fair compensation and dignity to today's employees like those I worked with at Sunbeam. — Alan Bergeson, Winfield Trump's reassurance I know I should feel good and not worry about our retirement funds because our president tells me these market conditions are temporary and soon I'll be rich. I would feel better if the president's resume didn't include six business bankruptcies and several fraud cases. If I were searching for a financial manager to handle my retirement savings, I don't think the president would get consideration. — Richard Schultz, Crete Judgment at the polls I am only 95 years old, but in my lifetime, I have never seen any presidential term of office where those in charge were not working for the betterment of our people and those we could help around the world. What we have seen since Jan. 20 is not only unprecedented; it is also despicable, unfortunate and illegal. Let us work toward a clean sweep. Get the rascals out and let us put people in office who care more about human needs than filling their coffers. — Ruth Rose, Glenview People have the power So the Republicans in the House and Senate are afraid of Elon Musk and his threats to primary them so they lose their seats. Perhaps they should fear the American people who have the power to vote them out. The protests indicate that we are well on our way to doing just that. Power to the people! — Kathye Boyle, Chicago

Nearly 200 rally against Trump
Apr. 5—BLUFFTON — Nearly 200 people showed up Saturday afternoon in rainy Bluffton to voice their displeasure with the Trump administration. Allen and Hardin and Hardin for Election Action brought out officials from local Democratic Parties at the Remove, Reverse, Reclaim Rally as part of a national day of action to speak to supporters with signs decrying Trump, Elon Musk and the agenda Republicans have advanced since retaking the White House. "I think it's important to protect our rights to speech and talk about issues that are important to us," Bluffton resident Erin Ostling Burkholder. "I am increasingly disappointed and concerned about the rhetoric at the federal level and policies that are being implemented that take rights away from people and harm those who are vulnerable. I want to do what I can to protest." Hardin County Democratic chair Sheila Coressel said the goal of the rally was to protest what she termed the dismantling of democracy. "We are here to protest the fact that Elon Musk, who has not been elected, somehow has all of this control in the government to fire people with no rhyme or reason and access to data that is sensitive to all of the United States," she said. "We are demanding our representatives and senators hold him accountable instead of sitting on their hands worrying about what he will do to them." Since coming on as an advisor to President Trump, Musk has helped to cut spending throughout the federal government by firing workers and slashing the budgets of agencies like USAID. Spencerville resident Dan Dardio said he came to be with others who feel the same as him about the way the country has gone since the November election that saw Trump defeat Democrat Kamala Harris. "It sounds like they're saying the things that all of us feel," he said of the speakers. "There is a sizable percentage of the population who are very unhappy with the way the government is going. Our country would like to restore some common sense and decency." Bluffton resident Katie Scott said she thought it was important to organize in an area where it can feel like there is not as much support. "We are not alone," she said. "We are together and taking action." In addition to the Bluffton rally, people across the country came out to demonstrate and speak against the Trump administration in cities including Columbus, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina ( Reach Jacob Espinosa at 567-242-0399.

Dozens of people show up for the 'Remove, Reverse, Reclaim Rally' in Sioux City
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Dozens of people showed up for the 'Remove, Reverse, Reclaim Rally' held in downtown Sioux City on Saturday afternoon. The rally started in front of the Federal Courthouse building, but was moved to the Sioux City Museum because of the crowd's size. The rally was part of a nationwide movement for people to express their opinions. 'Our liberties are at risk and justice is not dictated by the man in the white house,' said Marie Farrell of Lawton, Iowa. 'We have laws and we have lawmakers, and it outrages me the number of things that are being claimed to be illegal just because someone in the office does not like them.' 'I am here because I see so many people struggle with Medicaid, Medicare,' said Angela McPherson of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 'I work in a pharmacy and to see everyone struggle to pay for what they need. He's trying to take away social security and these people are going to struggle so much more.' The rally went from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and featured different speakers throughout Saturday afternoon. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
