Plus, short- and long-term ways to deal. RIP, bad hair days. You used to torture us, but these days? Not so much. Bobby pins, topknots, cute hats: The options to conceal misbehaving strands are endless (or just leave 'em as is—messy bedhead has never been chicer). If you woke up with a face full of breakouts, however, hiding is harder—it's not as if you can casually throw on a ski mask. And while well-meaning social media movements like #makeupfreemondays are meant to highlight natural beauty, they also present incredible pressure for selfie-ready skin. "This kind of moment-to-moment monitoring of the skin leaves us vulnerable to negative self-appraisals," explains Rick Fried , M.D., Ph.D., a Yardley, Pennsylvania, dermatologist and psychologist. "The images we see of ourselves often elicit self-talk that torments us on an ongoing basis." This is particularly true for women dealing with chronic inflammatory skin issues like eczema and acne, which are—a...

Trump's Twitter attack on the mayor of San Juan was widely panned. President Donald Trump kicked off the weekend by attacking the mayor of San Juan , who recently begged t he federal government to send more help to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. "I am begging, begging anyone who can hear us to save us from dying," Carmen Yulin Cruz, San Juan's mayor, said Friday morning. "If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency." Cruz also implied that Puerto Rico had received far more help from corporations and private entities than from the federal government. "This is what we got last night: four pallets of water, three pallets of meals and 12 pallets of infant food — which I gave them to the people of Comerio, where people are drinking off a creek," Cruz said. "So I am done being polite. I am done being politically correct. I am mad as hell. So I am asking the members of the pre...

Danny Trevathan's helmet-to-helmet hit on Davante Adams was a violation of the NFL's player safety rules. Thursday night's NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears was overshadowed by a terrifying hit on Packers receiver Davante Adams by Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan. The NFL announced on Saturday that Trevathan has been suspended two games for the hit. The suspension will also cost Trevathan about $235,000 in lost pay from his $2.0 million salary. In the third quarter, Adams caught a pass in the red zone and was surrounded by several Bears defenders. As Adams tried to push forward, Trevathan lowered his helmet and launched from the side. Their helmets collided, and Adams' head snapped back. The hit was so violent that Adams' mouthpiece went flying. Here's the hit: Adams was taken off the field on a stretcher. He gave fans a thumbs-up as he left and was taken to a local hospital. The Packers reported that Adams had movement in all extre...

Real Madrid full-back Dani Carvajal has been ruled out indefinitely with a heart condition, further adding to the defensive injury crisis at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The Spain international will miss at least six weeks while dealing with the condition, which reportedly requires time to heal completely.  With Marcelo and Theo Hernandez also struggling with their health, young talent Achraf Hakimi could well be thrust into action. The 18-year-old was only promoted to the first team in August, and while he has bags of potential, his lack of experience is a worry. Carvajal had so far played every available minute at right-back. The 25-year-old is a youth product from Los Blancos and has been an automatic starter for years.

Trump defended his administration's response to the devastation in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria, and urged Puerto Ricans to "not believe the #FakeNews!" President Donald Trump in a series of tweets on Saturday defended his administration's response to the devastation in Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria, and urged Puerto Ricans to "not believe the #FakeNews!" "Results of recovery efforts will speak much louder than complaints by San Juan Mayor. Doing everything we can to help great people of PR!" he said on Twitter. Trump's tweets came after he faced mounting criticism of his jabs at the mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulîn Cruz. Cruz had told media on Friday that if Trump does not ramp up relief efforts, Puerto Rico could see "something close to a genocide." "My Administration, Governor @RicardoRossello, and many others are working together to help the people of Puerto Rico in every way … #FakeNews critics are working overt...

English-born Ghanaian forward Tarique Fosu-Henry claimed a hat-trick as Charlton condemned Fleetwood Town to a 3-1 home defeat at Highbury. It was a fairly even affair until Fosu-Henry pounced on Ricky Holmes' chip towards the far post to put the visitors ahead The game then opened up and Fleetwood equalised when Devante Cole fizzed a ball into the box where Bobby Grant was looming to fire a first-time left-footed effort into the bottom-right corner. But Fosu-Henry struck again five minutes before the break as he danced past several static Fleetwood bodies in the box before poking the ball past Alex Cairns. The home side searched for a leveller in the second half, with boss Uwe Rosler switching to three in attack, but they could not find a breakthrough as Charlton claimed the all-important next goal. Jay Dasilva released Fosu-Henry to sprint towards goal, riding the challenge of Town skipper Nathan Pond before firing home to complete his hat-trick. Cole should have scored his...
