Knowing about your acne type, stage, and severity will help you determine the best, most customized treatment for your skin. Determining Your Acne Severity There isn’t a universal way to classify acne severity. That means every skin care professional classifies acne in a slightly different way.

But the most widely used, and simplest, way of classifying acne is fairly straightforward: mild, moderate, and severe....

CBS News’ Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan pressed the California Democratic congressman, who has helped spearhead the impeachment inquiry into Trump, about what exactly he expects from Monday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing to finalize charges against the president.

Intelligence Committee Chairman Schiff is the lead House impeachment manager making the case against Trump. Although his closing argument conceded that the Senate were very unlikely to convict the president, he suggested that the legacy of senators would be tied to their vote in the trial. “If you find that the House has proved its case and still vote to acquit, your name will be tied to his with a cord of iron and for all of history,” said Schiff....
