The Morning: Take care of your skin
Good morning. Today, Rory Evans of Wirecutter offers advice for taking better care of your skin. We're also covering an earthquake in Myanmar, the war in Ukraine and renting chickens.
Simple beauty
The beauty industry has always preyed upon our insecurities: Try this lotion or potion to look (and thus be!) happier, healthier, prettier, younger. Savvy marketers use that vanity to convince us that we need products uniquely formulated for cold weather, warm weather, crow's feet, undereye areas, lips, necks, scalps — and yes, even derrières. As a result, there have never been more skin care products out there. My family's crowded bathroom counter is evidence of this, and my 15-year-old daughter is its driving force. Like many of her peers, she has developed a seemingly limitless appetite for all manner of beauty products. In fact, thanks to Gens Z and Alpha, global beauty sales are expected to reach $590 billion in 2028 (up from $466 billion in 2023). But, it turns out, a basic routine still reigns supreme. In today's newsletter, I'll explain what Wirecutter's beauty team learned about skin care from months of research, testing and interviews with dermatologists. And I'll share a simple regimen for healthier skin that won't break your budget. Easy does itThat focus on simplicity is something we heard repeatedly during our reporting and testing. "Simple is good," Dr. Neelam Vashi, a dermatologist in Boston, told us. "You really just want to have products that moisturize, rejuvenate and feel comfortable on your skin. There is no magic cream. The magic is just finding the routine and sticking to it." The more extraneous goops you layer on, the more you risk irritating your skin — and the trickier it becomes to discern exactly which ingredient might have triggered a reaction. In general, products with short ingredient lists are preferable. And scan ingredient lists to check that your products have components targeting specific skin care concerns — sometimes called active ingredients. On the labels of moisturizers and body lotions, for instance, look for water-trapping additives like glycerin, squalane, hyaluronic acid and ceramides. When shopping for a retinoid serum, look for retinol or retinaldehyde (aka retinal). And if you need an exfoliant to improve texture and tone, look for skin-buffing glycolic and lactic acids, or oil-fighting salicylic acid. If a product is a bargain, don't assume it will feel like a compromise: Many of our picks are under $20. Don't get bamboozled by fancy packaging, either. Some truly amazing products reside in lackluster tubs and tubes (and underperformers can lurk in luxe bottles). Four steps for skin careIt doesn't take much to maintain healthy skin. Here's a routine you can follow that requires only a few products and a few minutes of your day.
Our testing led us to 31 stellar products across skin types and categories — each ready for heavy rotation in an easy routine. You can find them in Wirecutter's new Skin Care Essentials package. Wirecutter's skin care guides

Across the country, in red and blue states, everyday people are doing quiet, vital work to confront climate change. A new series from The Times's Climate desk will tell their stories.
What makes the leaked Signal chat by high-ranking government officials a scandal? The security failure. The defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, was reckless to discuss on Signal the timing, weapons and targets of the planned strike against the Houthis. "Thank luck (or the grace of God, if you prefer) no U.S. pilots were killed due to Hegseth's fecklessness," The Philadelphia Inquirer's Trudy Rubin writes. The contents of the leak. The chat revealed a more important issue at hand: the lack of seriousness the officials displayed when planning a military operation. "They spent more time discussing 'messaging' than say, protecting an ally like Saudi Arabia from retaliation," The Times's Farah Stockman writes.
From its founding, the U.S. has wanted to annex Canada. Previous attempts have been disasters, Stacy Schiff writes. Here's a column by Ross Douthat on the defense secretary. A subscription to match the variety of your interests. News. Games. Recipes. Product reviews. Sports reporting. A New York Times All Access subscription covers all of it and more. Subscribe today.
Hot yoga: Two million views, thousands of angry comments and a lost job, all stemming from a single sip of water. Backyard economics: You can rent chickens. But it may not get you cheaper eggs. Vows: The wedding of a bus driver and a salon owner became a detour on the path to parenthood. Most clicked yesterday: In Greenland, JD Vance found the weather and reception chilly. Lives Lived: The Los Angeles optician Gai Gherardi pioneered eyeglass frames as fashion statements, attracting a celebrity clientele. She died at 78.
"Yoko," by David Sheff: "The Lennon/Beatles saga is one of the greatest stories ever told, but Yoko's part has been hidden in the band's formidable shadow and further obscured by flagrant misogyny and racism," writes David Sheff in his compassionate, just-this-side-of-authorized biography of Yoko Ono. Not only does he stare down the myths that landed the woman known as John Lennon's wife in the cross hairs of conspiracy theorists, he gives Ono her due as an artist, musician, peacemaker and revolutionary in her own right. And Sheff — who's best known for "Beautiful Boy," a memoir of his son's drug addiction — is well qualified to do so, if biased in ways he acknowledges: In September 1980, he spent almost three weeks with Lennon and Ono, interviewing them for an article that appeared in Playboy the week Lennon died. He later became friends with Ono. "I didn't varnish the truth to depict Yoko as either a saint or a sinner," Sheff writes. "Instead, I did my best to strip the varnish away." The result is a time capsule from another era, and a thoughtful look at a determined woman who tried to make it better. More on books
This week's subject for The Interview is the former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who now hosts "The Megyn Kelly Show" on YouTube and SiriusXM. One of the things you did, which is a red line for most journalists, is that you showed up at one of Donald Trump's rallies right before the election, and you formally endorsed him. Once you endorse a politician onstage at a rally, I don't think you can reasonably be called independent anymore, or do you see it differently? I think I can. I don't agree with that because I can still hit Trump, and do. There's no question that I owned my bias on Trump and crossed a line that I had never crossed before, and never would have crossed when I was still straight news, ever. It's just this weird new hybrid lane I'm in that even made it a possibility in my mind, that I even allowed myself to consider saying yes to the invitation. I think a lot of people saw you endorsing Trump as caving — as essentially going to where the power is. I don't think it was me caving. It was me rising. It was me answering something I truly felt called to do. I'm thrilled Trump won. I shudder to think of what the country would be right now if Kamala Harris had won, and in the end, I had no qualms about going out there for him whatsoever. You know the symbolism of it: Someone who so famously had been at odds with him, that he had done so much to, to publicly stand up and embrace him — that was significant to a lot of people. I hope so. That was my goal in helping him, especially with women. I wanted to look them in the eyes, figuratively, and say: Trust me. You know I'm pro-woman, and you know I've expressed doubts about him in the past, about some of the choices he's made when it came to dealing with women, but there is no other choice for women in this election.
