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.

But it’s important to know the skincare rules for tattoos, too. They’re definitely different when it comes to summer, as any dermatologist will tell you. But many people have no experience at all with dermatologists for this aspect of skincare, so they don’t know what they don’t know. With that in mind, here’s the skinny on skincare for your tattoos now that summer’s here.
