Dollar Shave Club Gets All Up in Your Face with Big Cloud Skincare

Even if you haven’t acquainted yourself with Dollar Shave Club’s shaving wares, you’re probably familiar with the brand’s viral videos. After it achieved razor domination, DSC decided to venture into unfamiliar territory—skincare. Figuring out what that should go into its Protect by Big Cloud line wasn’t too difficult for the brand as they had an almost three million strong built-in focus group in its oft-vocal members. From all those requests, DSC determined its guys desired three things: a matte lip balm, non-greasy hand cream, and moisturizer with SPF.

Okay, the last one wasn’t necessarily what they want, but its what they need. Apparently, you guys aren’t naturally inclined to protect your skin because you’ve had a few bad experiences from smearing some drugstore crap made for your body on your face. But DSC aims to change all that with the creatively named Daily Face Moisturizer that feels and behaves like your average face lotion. It just so happens to contain SPF. Bonus!

And then there was a need for hand cream, but unlike women who prefer their hands to feel as if they just applied it, you guys want the hydration minus the actual creaminess. So they whipped up Great Shakes, which moisturizes with Shea Butter and Macadamia Seed Oil but ultimately dries down to a powder-like finish. Though women like their lips shiny and so most lip balms make it so, it’s not a particularly desirable look for guys so Wind Master is totally matte. If this awesome threesome is any indication, we can expect a Dollar Shave Club skincare empire to rival that of its razors.Big Cloud Wind Master Lip Balm Tube

Where you vacation could raise your skin cancer risk, says new study
New study reveals alarming sunscreen truths
Palm Beach, Florida

Most of us assume everyone knows the importance of protecting our skin from harmful UV rays, yet a new study suggests awareness campaigns aren't doing enough to protect Americans. A recently published study revealed a dangerous gap between what people know about sunscreen and how they use it, putting millions of Americans at an increased risk of developing skin cancer. Furthermore, the study found that specific beach destinations may have higher skin-damaging UV doses than others, indicating that where you vacation also weighs in on your overall risk of skin cancer.

The study analyzed over 378 million UV dose records from the European Space Agency and melanoma skin cancer rates from the World Health Organization for 168 countries. Those seeking the safest beach vacation possible should look to destinations such as Poland, Albania, and Iceland, with the lowest combined average daily UV radiation levels and melanoma skin cancer rates. Meanwhile, other popular beach destinations in Peru, Australia, and Ecuador had the riskiest UV radiation levels. In the U.S., Alaska, Washington, and Maine are the safest states for beachgoers who want to protect themselves from the sun.

Besides being a historic fashion house, Dolce & Gabbana is also renowned for its fragrances. While they are home to many timeless and easily recognizable scents, there’s none under the Dolce & Gabbana that’s as well-known as the Light Blue. First launched in 2001, the Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue fragrance instantly became the ultimate summer scent, with hints of lemon and rosemary that transport you to the warmth of the Mediterranean. Although the brand and many others have released numerous fragrances since then, none have achieved the timelessness of Light Blue. To celebrate the fragrance’s 25th anniversary, the fashion house is back in the spotlight with a new formula that’s even more long-lasting and enticing than before.
