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. 

Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue is back and better than ever

While relaunched, much of the Light Blue fragrance remains the same, maintaining the fresh scent that has made it a bestseller. The newest iteration of the fragrance features technical upgrades that allow for 16-hour long-lasting wear. While the upgraded Light Blue is welcome news to faithful fans of the fragrance, it isn’t the only new Light Blue product the brand has in store. Along with the reimagined Light Blue, a new Capri in Love Pour Homme joins the collection, featuring a magnetic scent. This fragrance is comprised of top notes of black pepper that make way to hints of fig and patchouli. The new fragrance also features a stylish bottle inspired by traditional majolica tiles. Both fragrances are now available via Dolce & Gabbana’s webstore and selected third-party retailers. The new Light Blue collection ranges from $106 to $129.

Trends come and go in both sports and men’s grooming, but sometimes they intersect in intriguing ways. Consider the unusual Venn diagram that includes some overlap between full-body trimming, manscaping, and leg shaving, which don’t seem to fit together at all.
There is some intriguing logic at work here, though. Elite endurance athletes have been shaving their legs for decades, and a growing number of men are also shaving their legs. At least one company, BOLT Skin + Shave, is trying to capitalize on this trend with a niche product. Can they succeed?

Long skincare routines are nothing new, especially in the social media era, even though simple regimens often do the trick. However, they've seemingly gone next-level with the "everything shower" trend. The hashtag #everythingshower alone has nearly 65K posts on TikTok, with short videos detailing elaborate routines that seemingly span hours. What is an everything shower?

"An everything shower is the opposite of a shortcut shower — essentially, you are doing all the things you can do from head to toe in the shower," said Dr. Maya Thosani, MD, a dermatologist at Modern Dermatology.

Not all sunscreens are created equal, and this report proves it
Sunscreen

The world of skincare products is a rapidly evolving space, and sunscreens have become one of the most dynamic categories. What used to be a fairly staid item is now a home for all sorts of intriguing variations, from products that offer tanning capability (!?) to all-in-one products that give sunscreens potential benefits they’ve never had before.   
Given the rapid evolution of sunscreens and the plethora of myths people still believe, it’s well worth checking out this report, which monitors sunscreens and their ingredients. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has been publishing these reports since 2007 due to the FDA's lack of product oversight, so we decided to explore the issue in more detail to provide you with the information you need to determine whether your sunscreen and its ingredients meet standards.
