GLEN CARBON - The summer months are a time when people most commonly start to see sun damage on their skin. Kristen M. Jacobs, MD, aesthetic physician, best-selling author, and owner of Ooh La La Spa, Anti-Aging & Wellness wants people to know that although the sun can have harmful long-lasting effects, there are ways to help reverse sun damage. “Even when we take extra precautions to protect our skin, it can be impossible to avoid sun damage,” said Dr. Jacobs. “Ultraviolet rays from the sun can trigger your skin cells to produce more melanin which can lead to dark sunspots. There are various products and treatments out there that can help reduce the appearance of these spots.” Sun damage can appear in many different forms. Brown spots, uneven skin tone, and melasma are all signs of sun damage. Melasma is a condition where brown and brownish-gray spots show up on the skin, most often on the face. Premature wrinkling and sun damage can also be known as

CHICAGO – Attorney General Kwame Raoul today announced the U.S. Department of Education has approved the discharge of all remaining federal student loan debt owed by borrowers who attended the now-defunct ITT Technical Institute (ITT), forgiving approximately $100 million in debt owed by more than 5,000 Illinois borrowers. “I appreciate the Department of Education’s approval of the borrower defense application I submitted along with dozens of attorneys general across the country. Discharging this remaining student loan debt will allow thousands of former ITT students to move on with their lives after being defrauded and unfairly burdened with overwhelming debt,” Raoul said. “My office will continue to hold institutions accountable for using predatory methods to trap students into taking out large amounts of debt while leaving them without degrees that will lead to post-graduate employment.” The Department of Education will erase all remaining
