Compersion. Chapter 1.

Words: 1874 Warnings: alcohol, mentions of nightclub bathrooms (which if you’ve ever been in one, you’ll know what state they get in and why this is a warning), mentions briefly of drug use.

Chapter two will pick right up after this but let me know what you think so far? _

The women’s toilets are a mess, leaving you disappointed but not surprised. The air is filled with perfume and body spray. The floors are covered with water, spilt drinks and piss. Toilet roll is strewn on the floor in cubicles, condom wrappers are littered in the corners between the toilet and sanitary product bin and vomit splatters around some of the bowls themselves from someone with poor aim and a weak alcohol tolerance. The cubicle next door sounds as though the occupant is powdering the inside of their nose. Had you not double checked the door before walking in with Beth, you wouldn’t have guessed it was female territory. You’ve covered the seat with paper before sitting down and can hear others outside the stalls singing and gossiping as you try to pee.

It’s just after 1am and the clubs are starting to come alive. The dance floor is heaving, you can’t escape the bar area without losing half of your drink because someone has bumped into you to get past to claim the spot you’ve just left open and the mating game was well and truly on. Everywhere you looked it was men prowling, eyes flickering between the bodies to see who they’d like to try their chances with, women dancing and throwing lingering looks at the ones they’re already envisioning going home with. Couples, whether established prior tonight or have just met, are grinding against one another, tongues mixing in each other’s mouths as their arms lock around one another protectively staking their claim. Already drama has begun and several people have been thrown out and still the night was young.

You’re pulling your underwear back up and tugging your dress back into place before flushing the toilet when you’re met with Beth the second you open the cubicle door, blocking your way out and making you interact with her.

“Do you know who is looking good tonight?”

“Don’t.” You already know whose name is about to come out of her mouth and you’re not looking forward to what will undoubtedly follow when the two of you leave this bathroom.

“I’m going to. Ash.” she says it anyway despite the stern look you’d given her. She almost looks giddy with excitement and your stomach churns.

Choosing to ignore her stupidity, you walk past her and head over to the sink to wash your hands and sidestep two girls who were hanging onto each other as they laughed hard about something. Their happiness brought a smile to your face but it quickly fades when you make eye contact with Beth in the mirror.

“Don’t you be like this with me.” she pouts before facing herself and begins to adjust her boobs, pushing them together and making them sit better in the strapless bra.

You dry your hands as you continue to watch as she fluffs herself, humming along to the song that plays out throughout the club as she begins to touch up her lipstick. “You always say that,” and then you end up sharing my bed for a week when he ghosts you, you mentally finish the sentence, not wanting tonight to end in tatters over him once more. You push your hair back into place and walk to the other side of Beth to the full length mirror that has just become available and you turn this way and that to ensure you look your best, even if it’s just for yourself.

“Ah, but this time I’d be using him for sex. Not the other way around.” You can see that even she doesn’t believe what she’s saying.

“If you’re going home with anyone tonight, it should be with me.” You add, running the lip balm over your supposedly kiss-proof lipstick and rub your lips together before giving an exaggerated kiss.

“Should,” she says with emphasis and you already know it’s a losing battle. You love her dearly but boy do you want to knock some common sense into her. “Besides, getting dicked never hurt anyone. Am I right?” Beth announces and you can’t help but laugh when someone in one of the toilets shouts out

“Unless it’s an ex baby girl, go ride that dick.”

“What does she know anyway?” Beth whispers as she grabs your arm and leads you back out.

You’ve been left to fend for yourself as she heads to the bar, leaving you alone at a table near the action of the dance floor but far enough away for a smidge of privacy and so you’re not wrapped up in the thick of it. The club staff assigned with glass collecting move around clearing away any empty drinkware they find, while their expression shows that they are so done with tonight's crowd. Apologetically, you hand the two normal and four empty shot glasses to the girl barely out of her teens and give her a small smile which she returns before moving on.

There’s a few people that you recognise, with some that you would really, really rather not have seen but for the most part, the atmosphere has remained upbeat and positive and most importantly, Beth seems to be staying away from Ash.

“Are you alright?” You hear spoken directly into your ear. Turning, you come to face the owner of the voice and stare into the blue eyes of a brunette. “My friend wants to know if you’re single.”

It’s a line that is as old as time and it never gets better hearing it from a new person. “And can your friend not ask me themselves?”

“He could, but he’s a bit shy,” she grins. “And he doesn’t want to come out VIP.”

“Bit of a dick move though is it not, for someone so interested in me?”

“Oh, he’s going to like you.” She says, lips curving at the corner as she studies you.

“And who is your friend?” You ask, trying not to look over at the VIP section that’s roped off and away from the mere commoners that you’re surrounded with. “Do I at least get a name?” You try to see if any of them are looking at the two of you, but no-one seems to realise anyone is missing from their table, much less trying to see how the situation is going.

“He’s called Ben. Do you want me to introduce you? I can take you over?”

“My friend will be back with our drinks. Which table is he at? I can walk across myself.” you say as you gesture to the one nearest to you.

“I can come back and wait for her.” You glance over at the crowd waiting to get served and spot Beth speaking with Ash, hanging off his every word as she laughs at whatever it is he’s saying.

“I’m Sam by the way,” she says. “If you don’t want to, that’s fine. I get it. You have no reason to trust me. Text your friend, hell, take a picture and send it to her if it’ll make you feel more secure.”

Though you hesitate, you find your lips moving and the agreement to go and see her friend comes out. You know this club like the back of your hand and so when mystery girl leads you past the usual VIP booths and through the part to get into upstairs overlooking the dancefloor and offering extra privacy to truly VIPs in the form of celebrities instead of people booking the roped off section for £150 for the night, you know this is no ordinary meeting.

Mark, one of the bouncers that you know from nights out gives you a big grin and pulls you into a hug when you step forward for one.

“Not with trouble tonight?” He asks, giving you a little squeeze before letting you go. Most club security were sleazy, no two ways about it, but Mark kept his hands to himself and made sure the girls were safe.

“She’s supposed to be getting our drinks, but she found Ash instead.”

“Same shit, different weekend,” he rolls his eyes and you pull a “what can I do?” expression. Mark, like you, has seen this play out far too many weeks to know how this will end. “Are you both going upstairs?” He asks, looking between you and Sam.

“2.” She confirms with a nod.

“And if Beth comes looking?”

“Send her up.” Sam replies, “I can wait for her.”

Mark confirms he will and gives you a little nod that it’s all good before letting you both progress further.

Your heart hammers against your chest as you try to keep yourself calm, desperate not to trip up as you follow her as quickly as you can. This part of the club was all new to you, security up here was different. Not only were there so many more of them, but they made the men on the doors look like amateurs.

“Ready?” She asks as she continues to walk, making you almost skip at the side of her to try and keep up.

“I guess? I don’t know if I should be nervous or not.” You give a small laugh.

“That’s good.”

“Who are you to him?”

“Their friend.”

You’re about to question why it’s not “their” and not “his” but before you can say anything else, she’s already pushing the door open. Inside the room is a mix of men and women, the table in front of them is overflowing with glasses, bottles, buckets of ice, extinguished bottle “sparklers”. The room opens up onto the balcony, allowing the view below to be taken in. Allowing them to look over everyone. A staff member of the club stands to the side, ready to complete any drink orders required.

You scan the room, trying not to stare anyone down but you try and work out who here is the one who has picked you out. No-one seems to be waiting for you, though some cast a long glance over you as they try to work out why you’re here. Sam places her hand on your back and gives you a warm smile when you look at her.

“Are you still sure? I can take you back down.”

“Yeah, I think I’m good.”

“I’ll be here. I won’t go.” She says and between her and the club staff member stood watch, you feel a little more settled. Mark knew you were up here and you trusted him to come check if you were gone too long. It’s not until she moves you through the group that you recognise one of them sat on the couch, back against the seat, legs parted, glass in both hands which hangs between his thighs. His face is tilted upwards, a smile on his face as he talks to the person who is leaning against the balcony, his attention on the one sitting.

Their faces have been everywhere, a good proportion of the country has been backing them, your work colleagues have their names on their backs. If you didn’t know who they were, it would be a surprise.

“Trent?” Sam says, gaining the attention of the two men before you and finally, you find yourself under the gaze of Liverpool’s Trent Alexander Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Riot wants me to believe Fortune is some femme fatale but I refuse to believe it. Sarah smells like gunpowder, blood and cherries, strangely enough. She has three things on her mind and they are revenge, killing, and her mom. She hasn't had a decent sleep since she was a kid. Her best friends in her city are a stinky cowboy and a card shark. She dated a priestess who dated her mom's killer. She falls asleep at her desk. She's iconic and she is the moment. Thanks for listening to my TEDtalk.

The problem with most of Riot female designs (specially the early ones to come out) is that they couldnt decide if they wanted to make women as bombshells, femme fatales and jazz babies so they kinda threw the three concepts in the mixer and poured the result into the champions with the hope it works. Its why Ahri was (before the voice update and some other content like Ruined King) a flavourless mix between a femme fatale and a jazz baby. Riot just kept trying to push these stereotypes (wich was the mysoginistic way men tried to portray 'strong female characters!' in cinema and novel) but without adding a flavour.

Miss Fortune in LoL is the mix of a Femme Fatale (ooohhh she's a captain thats spooky shiver me timbers) and a bombshell (instead of blonde she's a stunning redhead, she wears revealing and tight clothes, woah, great, last time i checked LOL wiki i readed her description and started with 'Sarah Fortune is a stunningly beautiful redhead' and i gagged) but has literally no flavour aside from exploiting the concepts mentioned with too many sexual innuendos.

So, YES. Screaming YES at this ask. So right. Im so sad our concept of Sarah Fortune literally doesnt exist, only on Ruined King. LOL refuses to say any of this. HUMANIZE her goddamit, give her depth of character im literally raging cause she deserves better yet here we are bestie. The cherry part got me, i think she keeps a lip balm cause her mom liked cherries and the wind and the sea salt kept their lips dry so when she was a kid she remembers her mom helping her put some lip balm cherry flavoured so she will always keep one in her pocket because it remind her of mom. Heck she will even do it to other people if she sees them with terrible lips. Convince me that she just doesnt look at Rafen and goes 'You look filthy, come here' and puts some lip balm on him. Nothing romantic, nothing sexual, just two friends, coworkers, boss and employer, putting lip balm on cause wind is rough.

She's so deep in her trauma that the the Ruined King ending literally happened and she wasnt there. She didnt say goodbye. Not even to Braum. BRAUM. She was so goddamn pissed over Gangplank escaping that she couldnt hold her shit together. Not even for 5 minutes. She said okay bye also im breaking up with you see ya later sweetie hope it worked and went to seek that bastard ass. Not to mention the whole 'woah this looks like a divorce' arc with Illaoi the entire lenght of Ruined King cause i could never shut up. THE FACT THAT ILLAOI DATED GANGPLANK fucking imagine if Riot said 'Oh see we can do something with this, add a quote referencing something between those lines'. Id scream. But they refuse.

woah that was intense, anyway-

#im dooooonnnneeee hahhahaahahahahahahahahaha #its not funny anymore im peeling the skin off my face #lol miss fortune is a fever dream #she cant hurt me #the lol miss fortune: 'sure you can handle me summoner?'#she's a saw torture

LANEIGE's Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer

Caudalie's Vinofresh Natural Aluminum-Free Deodorant

Why these choices? Well, let me tell you!

Like many professional men in Asia, Artem wears a touch of makeup par his typical work outfit, especially if you're the face of the company. Which Artem definitely is, he appears on media every time he finishes a case. A touch of powder for the flash cameras, a dab of hairspray to smooth out his hair. During the boomer era, it was considered fruity to even wear cologne to work, but times are different now. He almost never branches out from his favorites. He doesn't even shop in the boutiques anymore, he just replaces his stock using online shipping.

Virtue's Frizz Smoothing Spray is odorless, and helpfully lightweight for its medium-thick hair focused formula. Artem has a modestly thick mop on his head, and without just a bit of product, it'll lie annoyingly flat and frizzy, especially if its humid. He sprays it at the roots to give it lift.

He gets Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer in shade "2W1 Natural", which is for light skintones with warm undertones. It's a light-to-medium formula, perfect for covering up eyebags and smoothing out the face, but light enough to avoid looking like a patch of rubber. Oil-free means it's not gonna add extra shine to his Asian complexion, and he knows that SPF protection is vital for healthy skin. Most of his workday is spent in front of blue-screen monitors, so liquid products are best for avoiding a weird unnatural glare reflecting off your face.

Farmacy's Lip Balm is a forever staple in his pocket. He drinks so much coffee and not water, his lips are forever cracked and patchy. Without a good lip balm, he'd be peeling all over his chin and that's not proper for Stellis' youngest senior attorney. One swipe of this can last hours. It's flavorless and has only the mildest scent, so there's not a sticky smell right under his nose all day.

HERMÈS' Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée is on the subtle side of perfumes. It's piney and citrusy, reminicent of a sophisticated summer breeze. Most people describe it as an 'older gentleman's perfume', 'cause its decidedly not sugary or spicy or fun. But it's professional, and suits Artem's reserved personality.

Vyn didn't start wearing makeup daily until he moved to Stellis, but he had prior experience with wearing cosmetics for the public eye. When he saw that a) professional men of Asia like to wear makeup on the reg, and b) he looks good with the proper products, he made that effort to build up a boudoir of luxury beauty products. Unlike Artem, Vyn knows he looks especially beautiful and he likes to primp it juuuust a tad. Shopping for the proper products can be a struggle for white guy Vyn, because the more luxurious you go, the less inclusive they'll be. He's got a cool-toned complexion, fine hair, and dry skin, which is the opposite of Asia's target audience.

Vyn couldn't find proper designer hair products for his hair type, so he went down the line a bit to get BondiBoost's Hair Thickening Styling Spray, which is a more modestly priced brand and that secretly hurts Vyn's bougie soul. But he can't deny it works wonders on his very fine, very delicate hair. It's a texturing spray that clings to the roots to provide lift and volume. He also likes how its unscented, because he thinks most scented hair products smell like ass.

Speaking of bougie, La Mer's The Powder comes in a teeny pot and costs more than a week's worth of groceries. They market it as appropriate for everyone, but it's obvious that it's formulated best for people like Vyn; it has a radient finish to help combat dull dryness, it's not completely translucent and has the slightest pale cast, and smooths out the fine lines that drier skin gets. But its hefty price comes with quality for sure, and it does its job amazingly well.

Armani Beauty's Acqua di Gio isn't the only perfume he owns, but it's one of his favorites for work. It's long lasting and appropriately strong, but doesn't give off any one particular ingredient. It's best described as just "fresh", or "aquatic". Working with mentally ill patients means that he can't have any aggravating sensory distractions, so he applies just enough to make sure it's not gonna reach across the distance between a psychologist's chair and a patient's bed.

Givenchy's Rose Perfecto in "002 Vital Glow (transparent coral)" provides both color and hydration. It also contains the tingly plumping agent that swells your lips just a tad, which thin-lip Vyn appreciates. Not as tingly as many lip plumping products, it feels more like a subtle minty freshness than a dentist's numbing gel. He, unlike Artem, enjoys scented lip products and likes the floral smell it gives off, it reminds him of his garden.

Unlike the other three, Marius loves makeup for its artistry, and is not afraid to wear the colorful, or wild, or niche. Which is easier said than done because his PR team gets on his ass if he dares go to class in green eyeshadow or a chrome metallic lipstick. He might like to say that they can't tell him what to wear, but Marius is pious to his family, and doesn't dare destroy his own image in a way that might affect them, too.

He gets the Urban Decay's 24/7 Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in the more natural "Zero (Black)" than their "Perversion (Matte Blackest Black)", so he can pull off a more convincing 'thick lashline' look rather than full on goth. With some mascara and eyebrow pomade, Marius has popularized a famous 'casual bedroom eyes' moment. This pencil will stay on all day, whether its through the college grind or sweating it in the business conference room, so much it'll takes several swipes of a makeup remover to get it all off.

Dior's Dreamskin Fresh & Perfect Cushion is an infamously expensive liquid foundation, available in four shades. One of which fits Marius' spring/fall complexion. So this is his daily go-to, it's lightweight and evens out his skintone just enough, while providing lots of SPF to upkeep Marius' delicate richboy look for years to come. If he's got blemishes typical of any 20 y/o, this product also meshes well with any additional concealer without separating or curdling. Honestly, wearing something so luxurious is more for the PR than the foundation itself.

Ralph Lauren's Ralph's Club Parfum comes in a sexy opaque matte glass bottle reminicent of a whiskey flask. And its scent matches its ridiculous 'manly' marketing; it's woody and spicy with cardamom, patchouli, and the deep warmth of vetiver wood. It doesn't match Marius' general appearance and personality, that's for sure, but it matches his natural BO. 'Cause young Marius is surprisingly potent smelling, shall we say, and a deeper, spicier perfume goes best with him.

NARS' Afterglow Lip Balm caught Marius' eye just by its name, same with their 'Orgasm' blush palettes. It only gives the slightest bit of color, and it wears off pretty quickly, but that's exactly what Marius needs because colored lips tend to look too childlike on his baby face. So he keeps this in his pocket throughout the day to make sure his lips aren't dull and dry, but not rose pink like a porcelain doll, either.

Luke didn't start wearing most of his current products until MC came back into his life, and one day he looked into the mirror and noticed all those blemishes and acne scars and freaked out just a tiny bit. After googling "beginner makeup for men" for an afternoon, he got his hands on some skincare staples, and a cosmetic or two. Most are only for date nights, he doesn't wear concealer when undercover in the field, or investigating throughout the city. And if he's being honest, he doesn't particularly like having makeup on his face, it feels weird and kinda gross to him.

Lancôme's Full Coverage Concealer is full coverage, and by god will it cover up any bruises, dark shadows, healing cuts, scars, etc. Heck, even interviewing people while investigating goes over better if he's not walking around with a black eye, so this concealer was a great discovery for Luke. It's not just for his face, he applies it anywhere clothing can't cover, like hand-shaped bruises around his neck, or a purpling cut around his forearm.

Luke didn't start balming his lips until he started caring about looking more pretty for MC, so he picked up the boutique brand Drunk Elephant's Lippe Balm which contains all natural ingredients, and has no smell or color. He feels better knowing that the goop he's spreading all over his face doesn't contain any cheap, harsh chemicals, 'cause he may have a biology degree, but he has no idea how [insert chemical here] might affect topical skin. It helps that he doesn't have particularly dry lips, so the natural ingredients of this balm fit him just fine.

LANEIGE's Water Bank Blue Moisturizer is an Asia-orienting brand that focuses on oily/combination skin. This product is very lightweight, great for Luke's sweaty, active lifestyle so there's no clogged pores, and he enjoys its light scent, which is that 'vague luxury smell' which makes him feel like he's injecting a paycheck into his face. Growing up, he didn't even bother washing his face with soap most of the time, so this moisturizer has a lot of catching up to do.

Caudalie's Vinofresh Natural Aluminum-Free Deodorant is by far the only deodorant he's tried (or owns), but he still owns no cologne, so he had to get something better than supermarket Dove for Men if he wants to impress. This stick is a clear gel that won't leave those ugly white stains on his black shirts, and it moisturizes the skin, too, which is great for regulating sweat and oil. It's another all-natural product, which means it's not at superbly powerful as the synthetic ones, but it's healthier for the delicate underarm ecosystem.

Mastering the Art of Beard Trims: Tips from Charlotte's Top Barbers

Introduction: In the world of men's grooming, a well-maintained beard is more than just a fashion statement – it's a symbol of style, confidence, and masculinity. However, achieving the perfect beard requires more than just letting it grow unchecked. Regular grooming and precise trimming are essential to keep your facial hair looking sharp and polished. To help you master the art of beard trims, we've gathered expert tips from Charlotte's top barbers, who understand the nuances of facial hair maintenance like no other.

Understand Your Beard's Growth Pattern: Before picking up the trimmers, take the time to observe your beard's natural growth pattern. Every beard is unique, with varying thickness, texture, and growth direction. Understanding how your beard grows will guide you in determining the optimal trimming technique to achieve your desired look. Whether your beard grows fuller on the chin or sparser on the cheeks, recognizing these patterns is the first step towards a well-groomed beard.

Invest in Quality Tools: A successful beard trim begins with the right tools. Invest in high-quality trimmers, scissors, and combs specifically designed for beard grooming. Precision is key when sculpting your facial hair, so opt for tools with sharp blades and ergonomic designs for maximum control and accuracy. Additionally, don't forget to regularly clean and maintain your grooming tools to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Start with a Clean Slate: Before trimming your beard, it's crucial to start with a clean and dry canvas. Wash your beard with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or product buildup. Pat your beard dry with a towel, ensuring it's completely free of moisture before trimming. Trimming damp hair can result in uneven cuts and make it challenging to gauge the true length of your beard.

Define Your Neckline and Cheek Line: Defining the neckline and cheek line is essential for creating a polished and well-defined beard silhouette. Use a straight-edged object, such as a comb or ruler, to establish a clear boundary for both lines. For the neckline, locate the point where your neck meets your jawline and trim any hair below this point. For the cheek line, follow the natural curve of your cheekbones and remove any stray hairs above the line for a tidy appearance.

Trim with Precision: When trimming your beard, less is often more. Start with a longer guard setting on your trimmers and gradually work your way down to your desired length. Trim in the direction of hair growth, using gentle, even strokes to avoid creating uneven patches or over-trimming. Pay close attention to areas where your beard transitions in length, such as the jawline and chin, and blend these sections seamlessly for a natural-looking finish.

Don't Forget the Details: A well-groomed beard is all about attention to detail. Take the time to trim stray hairs around the lips, cheeks, and neckline for a polished appearance. Use scissors to carefully trim any longer hairs that may disrupt the overall shape of your beard. Additionally, consider using beard oil or balm to soften and condition your facial hair, keeping it looking healthy and hydrated.

Practice Patience and Persistence: Mastering the art of beard trims takes time and practice. Don't be discouraged if your first few attempts don't yield perfect results. Experiment with different techniques, lengths, and styles until you find what works best for your unique facial features and personal preferences. With patience and persistence, you'll soon become adept at grooming your beard like a pro.

Conclusion: Achieving a well-groomed beard is a skill that requires precision, patience, and the right techniques. By following these expert tips from Charlotte's top barbers, you can master the art of beard trims and maintain a stylish and sophisticated facial hair look. Whether you prefer a rugged stubble or a meticulously sculpted beard, the key lies in understanding your beard's growth pattern, investing in quality tools, and practicing meticulous grooming habits. With dedication and attention to detail, you'll be well on your way to sporting a beard that commands attention and exudes confidence.

Winter Holiday Essentials That You Love

It's good to go throughout the colder time of year to encounter snow, making snow heavenly messengers and presumably get to cover yourself in them; however, it will be more enjoyable on the off chance that you pack yourself the right basics. It's great to remember to remain warm and well-being in abundance, recollect that! So the following are ten must-welcome fundamentals on your colder time of year trip.

A Down Jacket

You’re most memorable line of guard against the gnawing cold and crying breezes ought to be a decent down coat. Down coats are extraordinary covers and can safeguard you against brutal winter winds. If you're going to an area that snows a great deal, choose a down coat that is waterproof so you won't wind up getting doused.

You ought to likewise go for a coat with a separable hood. It'll be far superior assuming the hood is fixed with a protecting material like false fur or manufactured fleece that assists with shielding your head from the virus. A separable hood makes it more straightforward to pack the coat into your baggage.

Thermals

In cruel winter conditions where temperatures decrease way beneath 0℃, you'll need to have a bunch of warm clothing (regularly called long johns) with you. Long johns trap and utilize your body heat as protection against the colder time of year cold.

These will keep you warm and cozy, and go about as a decent extra layer of intensity maintenance if your down coat alone isn't taking care of business. Pick woolen ones if you're making a beeline for freezing temperatures as this work best.

Nonetheless, remember that thermals are very effective retainers of intensity so assuming you layer up something over the top (counting your external coats), you could risk overheating. What's more, trust me that is not a positive sentiment.

Scarves for Women’s And Men’s

Scarves are frequently ignored yet they are significant in the winter climate! The body loses heat and develops colder when there are areas of uncovered skin. A scarf will prove to be useful to assist with holding the body's regular intensity by safeguarding the neck. Cashmere is the best material for scarves if you're hoping to keep warm.

Furthermore, a decent scarf can likewise bend over as security for your mouth, nose, and ears should the need at any point emerge. Furthermore, for extra places, scarves are likewise an extraordinary approach to decorating and emphasizing your style sense, making your colder time of year outfit 'pop' in the group.

Beanie Caps

While a coat hood offers a type of security to the head from cruel winter conditions, it doesn't necessarily work, particularly in outrageous temperatures. For added security, another colder time of year travel fundamental is a decent-intensity holding beanie.

Best Gloves for All

Likewise, with the boots, the main thing about your colder time of year gloves is to ensure that they're waterproof. I found this out the most difficult way possible after a snowball battle in the Swiss Alps. Additionally, since most electronic gadgets these days are touch screens, pay special attention to gloves with touch screen abilities to make your life simpler.

Lip Balm

Despite the snow and crisp climate, winters are known to be famously dry because of their low stickiness. What's more, not to neglect, unforgiving breezes and long openness to the cruel winter components will in all probability because of difficult dried lips. Accordingly, one winter travel fundamental you mustn't neglect is lip emollient.

Try to avoid alternative and holistic remedies alone to fight cancer if you have it. Steve Jobs is a great example of holistic remedies failing. Medical professionals insist that modern medicine and surgery would have saved his life. It can save your life too, if you have cancer. Don't replace modern medicine with voodoo. All women over 40 should be receiving at least one mammogram per year in order to catch breast cancer early. Breast cancer wreaks havoc on millions of women, and catching it early is undoubtedly the best way to fight this type of cancer to date. Start annual mammograms after you reach 40. If you are not feeling well, ask a friend or a family member to take you to your doctor's appointment. They want to help you and asking them for transportation is safer for you when you are not doing your best. They can also provide company and support throughout the day. When you are first diagnosed with cancer, you should immediately make an appointment with your dentist. When making your appointment, inform the receptionist of your diagnosis so they can get you in quickly. Treatment can sometimes affect your oral health. Therefore, before starting any treatment plan it is necessary to have a dental cleaning and any necessary dental work done. Get the daily recommended milligrams of vitamin E. Vitamin E can prevent many different types of cancer for both men and women. A wide world of tasty dishes that have good amounts of this vitamin are waiting for inclusion in your diet. Know your family history so you know if you are at risk of getting breast cancer. If you have family members who have had it before reaching menopause, be sure to tell your doctor. You are going to be at a higher risk of developing the cancer as well, and your doctor will want to keep a close eye on you. It is important that females get a pap smear done at least once every two years. If you have a history of gynecological problems, you may want to have one every year. aortic aneurysm detect cervical cancer and changes in their cervical cells, which if caught early, is very treatable. Many people do not think to protect their lips when they are out in the sun. No matter the season or the length of time you are going to be in the sun, take the time to apply lip balm. Be sure that the balm that you choose has a good SPF level to protect your lips. If you are a cancer patient who enjoys getting facials, be sure to tell your aesthetician that you are receiving treatments. Although gentle exfoliant are okay for treating the dry skin that chemotherapy may cause, other ingredients in a facial, such as acidic products and peeling ingredients, may not be safe. If you have contracted cancer or if someone you care about, has it, every question you have about the disease suddenly becomes incredibly important. You need urgent answers and you need accurate information. Make sure you use the tips you've read in this article to help you out, if ever the time comes.

sassy men apocalypse - football edition ☆

summary: some short hcs abt the football players i think would make the sassiest bfs ft: joao felix, jude bellingham, trent alexander-arnold, andrew robertson warnings: none, just the boys being little shits

a/n: this is so stupid but i'm obsessed with sassy men ok shoot me !!! also this is not anywhere near all of the players i think would make sassy bfs so feel free to comment/send asks abt who else u think would fit 🤭

joão félix

✦ I know y'all have seen this man on field beefing with EVERYONE... the other team, refs, even his own teammates like you cannot tell me he would not be the absolute sassiest boyfriend ever ...

✦ Sometimes you'll try to take candid selfies with him and he'll just be giving you the nastiest stink eye ever - and not even on purpose that's just his default expression

✦ Will whine and complain when you drag him out on shopping trips but then gets weirdly into it and starts giving you advice

"Hold on, I just need to get a new toner," you say to him, as he trails behind you while holding half a dozen shopping bags. "Ugh, can we just go home al- Don't get that one, the ingredients in it will dry out your skin."

✦ For that reason he's also weirdly into USING your skincare products and esp whatever lip balm you use just bc it "works better"

✦ And the attitude only gets worse whenever he gets sick ...

✦ #1 Manflu victim like you'll come home to him spread eagle on the couch, hacking and gagging and weak and you'll think he has some virus but in reality, it's just a cold

✦ That won't stop him from spending the next couple of days coughing extremely loudly and filling every silent moment with sniffles - all the while giving you immense attitude when u try to get him to rest or take medicine

✦ Don't worry though, this attitude immediately disappears the minute he wants cuddles and then all of a sudden he's the nicest, sweetest boyfriend ever (of course he's going to whip out the puppy eyes, he knows your weaknesses after all)

jude bellingham

✦ Does this even need to be said

✦ The absolute quickest with comebacks, and a little too good at insults

✦ Such a little shit honestly like he just lives to annoy you sometimes

✦ I said this in the tags of one of my other posts, but he is so the kind to do dumb little things like spam your phone with dumb selfies if you leave it unattended around him, then acts clueless when you get back

"Jude, what's this." "Huh, how'd those get there?" You watch him rub the back of his nape while avoiding eye contact. "In that case, I'm making it your new contact picture." "HEY, DON'T."

✦ There is a payoff though, because he is the best at taking pictures for you like he knows all the good angles and poses

✦ Once laughed at you for tripping over a rock but then while he was turning to laugh at you he tripped into a puddle and had to walk all the way home with wet pants

trent alexander-arnold

✦ Just SO competitive about everything

✦ Like you've seen him in those challenges he hates losing and this extends to your everyday conversations in which he'll NEVER admit he's wrong

"Trent, I'm not saying I don't like cookie dough, I'm just saying that mint choc chip is better." It's night and you're lying in bed with him and somehow started discussing ice-cream flavours. "How on earth can you say that? It tastes like toothpaste!" "Toothpaste!? It's refreshing, I've got no clue what you're on about." "I feel personally offended, I don't know if we can keep dating after this." You burst out into laughter as he turns to face his back to you, pulling the entirety of your shared blanket with him.

✦ You know how people say boys will do anything if you tell them you'll time them? Yeah.

✦ Once you tried to get him to finish your leftovers at a fancy dinner by telling him you'd time him but this backfired when you had to rush him home after he got heartburn from eating too fast

✦ And the worst part is that you forgot to time him - he would've been so mad if he wasn't too busy chugging Mylanta

✦ A gossipy little bitch. Spills ALL of the team tea to you and will also get way too into your own gossip - he's your own confidante and is absolutely prepared to give you all the reactions you need

andrew robertson

✦ Okay i reckon he's probably the sweetest out of the bunch but that does not mean he is not a sassy little shit okay!!!

✦ The kind of guy who only knows how to cook like three dishes but whenever it's his turn to cook the kitchen is OFF LIMITS to anyone but him

✦ Like you'll try to be cute and couple-y by cooking together but he's running that shit like the navy, got five pots going at once and a kitchen towel thrown over his shoulder

✦ Still manages to undercook his pasta though, although he'd rather eat crunchy pasta than admit he's wrong

✦ gets irritated by your social media antics because he refuses to admit he cares about it too

"Wait, don't touch the food yet I want to take a picture." You hold your hand out to pause your boyfriend who's already reaching for his fork, causing him to groan loudly. "Cmon already, I'm starving!" He pauses for a bit, watching you tilt your phone to get all the angles but then chiming in, "Wait, give me the phone it'll look better from my angle."

✦ And if you think you're escaping his sassiness over text ?? you're dead wrong because he is a chronic '🙄' and '😒' user

Simplify Your Routine with the Best Men's Skin Care Products

In a world where time is of the essence, simplicity is key. When it comes to skincare, this mantra couldn’t be more accurate. A well-thought-out skincare routine doesn’t need to be complicated, especially for the modern man. In fact, with the right products, you can streamline your regimen while achieving fantastic results for your skin. So, let’s dive into the world of men’s skincare and explore how to simplify your routine with the best products.

1. Cleanser: The Foundation of Your Routine

Every successful skincare routine begins with a quality cleanser. It’s the bedrock of healthy skin. Your choice of cleanser should be tailored to your skin type, whether it’s oily, dry, or sensitive. Cleansing not only rids your skin of dirt and impurities but also sets the stage for other products to work their magic.

2. Moisturizer: Keep It Hydrated

Hydration is the secret to youthful and vibrant skin. A good moisturizer locks in moisture, preventing your skin from drying out. The best ones are light and non-greasy, leaving your skin feeling fresh and comfortable. Plus, they help maintain your skin’s natural moisture barrier.

3. Sunscreen: The Ultimate Protector

Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays is a non-negotiable step. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. This simple act shields your skin from premature aging and reduces the risk of skin cancer. It’s your best defense against the sun’s potent rays.

4. Exfoliator (Optional): Renew Your Skin

If you want to take your routine up a notch, consider using an exfoliator once or twice a week. This step helps remove dead skin cells and improves skin texture. However, be cautious not to overdo it, as excessive exfoliation can irritate your skin.

5. Eye Cream (Optional): Targeted Care

For specific concerns like dark circles or puffiness, an eye cream can work wonders. Look for one containing peptides and hyaluronic acid for added benefits. It’s an optional step but can make a noticeable difference if you have particular eye area concerns.

6. Serum (Optional): Address Specific Issues

Serums are like power-packed shots for your skin. They contain concentrated ingredients that target specific issues, whether it’s fine lines, acne, or hyperpigmentation. Pick a serum based on your unique concerns for maximum benefits.

7. Shaving Products: For the Well-Groomed Man

For those who shave regularly, using quality shaving products is essential. Invest in a good shaving cream, gel, or oil to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs. Don’t forget an aftershave balm to soothe your skin after the shaving ritual.

8. Lip Balm: Soft Lips All Day

Chapped lips can be uncomfortable. Keep a nourishing lip balm handy to maintain soft and smooth lips. It’s a simple but effective addition to your skincare arsenal.

9. Hydration from Within: Drink Up!

Remember, skincare isn’t just about external products. Drinking plenty of water and maintaining a balanced diet rich in antioxidants can significantly benefit your skin from the inside out. So, don’t neglect the importance of hydration and nutrition.

10. Consistency Is Key

Lastly, the most crucial aspect of any skincare routine is consistency. Stick to your regimen, and give your products time to work. Results may not be immediate, but with patience and diligence, you’ll achieve the best results for your unique skin type and concerns.

Conclusion

Incorporating these essential products into your daily routine can help you achieve clear, healthy, and well-nourished skin without the hassle of a complex regimen. Simplifying your skincare routine with the best men’s skincare products is not just a time-saver; it’s a game-changer for your skin’s health and appearance. So, gentlemen, embrace simplicity, and let your skin shine.

i’ve been experimenting with my look over the last year (making earrings and eyeshadow and nail polish a regular part of it) and even more in the summer and i am surprised how much fun i am having. lipstick is cool but hard for me because i have perpetually dry lips. just a lifelong problem that i have never been able to get under control despite my best efforts. been using a new lip balm that finally seems to be helping, so at least they are LESS dry than they were. so the mostly-failed lipstick experiment at least resulted in healthier lips. and then i’ve been trying little accent braids in my hair, which i love the look of but find very hard to actually do, even working with just two little strands.

i actually love a lot of soft feminine stuff but don’t feel able to pull it off. idk. the more goth feminine look was the only one i’ve ever felt comfortable actually wearing, but i found that hard to achieve in my youth as someone who was unwilling to go even a little bit out there with my look, i never even touched makeup until i was in my twenties, and even then only mascara until this last year (at almost 30). getting a lip ring changed my life honestly, go get that dream piercing. anyway goth can also be hard to pull off if you’re not willing to dye your flowing golden hair or do the whole fishnets and heels thing (i do hate that about women’s goth stuff, how sexualized it all is), the key was to look for men’s or unisex goth stuff. but now i think i am successfully cultivating a lesbian goth lite look that ppl are starting to notice. he’ll yeah

#have an absolutely SICK antelope horn earring that has been my go-to #but unfortunately the ear piercing it was in never quite seemed to heal after i got it done a year ago #thought maybe that was normal idk i never had pierced ears before #but the last few days the earlobe has been looking REALLY fucked and hurting extra and i can't get anything in there #so i think i'm just gonna have to try to let it heal over for now...... rip cool earrings:(#the other ear is fine but i only ever keep my starter stud in there and don't take it out #better than nothing

Nourish and Repair: Skincare Products for Dry and Damaged Skin in the Rain

Introduction

As the rainy season arrives, so do the challenges of maintaining healthy skin, particularly for those with dry and damaged skin. The increased humidity and moisture in the air, coupled with frequent exposure to rainwater, can exacerbate skin dryness and lead to further damage. To combat these issues, it is essential to incorporate nourishing and repairing skincare products into your routine. In this article, we will explore the benefits of such products, discuss the best skincare products in India suitable for rainy weather, and offer recommendations for both men and women.

Benefits of Nourishing Skincare

Nourishing skincare products play a vital role in repairing and rejuvenating dry and damaged skin. They provide deep hydration, replenish lost moisture, and restore the skin's natural barrier. These products are typically enriched with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, natural oils, and shea butter, which work together to lock in moisture, improve skin elasticity, and promote a healthy complexion. Regular use of nourishing skincare products can help restore the skin's suppleness, smooth out fine lines, and reduce redness and irritation caused by dryness.

Top Skincare Products for Dry Skin

Moisturizers: Look for moisturizers with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. These ingredients help to attract and retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated throughout the day.

Night Creams: Invest in a nourishing night cream that provides intense hydration and promotes overnight repair. Look for ingredients like niacinamide and antioxidants to rejuvenate the skin while you sleep.

Hydrating Face Masks: Treat your skin to a hydrating face mask at least once a week. Opt for masks infused with ingredients like aloe vera, cucumber, or honey to replenish moisture and restore a healthy glow.

Healing Oils: Incorporate nourishing oils like argan oil, rosehip oil, or jojoba oil into your skincare routine. These oils are rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, which help nourish and repair dry and damaged skin.

Serums: Choose serums that target skin repair and restoration. Look for serums with ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, or peptides, as they help in collagen production and skin rejuvenation.

Lip Care Essentials

Don't forget to give your lips the attention they deserve during the rainy season. Use lip balms and treatments enriched with moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter, cocoa butter, or beeswax to prevent dryness and chapped lips. Apply lip balm throughout the day and before bedtime to keep your lips soft and supple.

Body Butter for Total Hydration

Opt for a nourishing body butter that provides deep hydration for your skin. Look for ingredients like cocoa butter or shea butter, as they help to lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated for an extended period. Apply body butter generously after showering to seal in moisture and leave your skin feeling smooth and nourished.

Hand Creams for Soft and Supple Skin

During the rainy season, our hands are often exposed to rainwater, which can cause dryness and roughness. Invest in a nourishing hand cream that contains ingredients like glycerin, almond oil, or vitamin E. Apply hand cream after washing your hands or whenever they feel dry to keep them soft, supple, and well-nourished.

Skincare Products for Men

Men's skincare needs are just as important during the rainy season. Look for skincare products for men specifically designed for men that offer deep hydration and repair. Men can benefit from using moisturizers, serums, and lip balms specifically formulated for their skin to combat dryness and damage caused by rain and humidity.

Repairing Cleansers

Choose gentle cleansers that effectively cleanse the skin without stripping away moisture. Look for cleansers with hydrating ingredients like ceramides or glycerin. These cleansers help remove impurities while keeping the skin's moisture intact, preventing further dryness.

Essential Vitamins and Antioxidants

Incorporate skincare products enriched with essential vitamins and antioxidants into your routine. Vitamins like vitamins C and E, along with antioxidants, help protect the skin from environmental damage, promote collagen production, and improve overall skin health. Look for serums or moisturizers that contain these beneficial ingredients.

The rainy season can be challenging for those with dry and damaged skin, but with the right skincare products, you can nourish and repair your skin effectively. By incorporating moisturizers, night creams, hydrating face masks, healing oils, serums, lip care essentials, body butter, hand creams, and repairing cleansers into your routine, you can combat dryness, restore moisture, and maintain healthy skin. Remember to choose products suitable for your skin type and preferences. With a consistent skincare routine tailored to the rainy season, you can protect your skin and enjoy a healthy, radiant complexion all year round.

Additionally, it's important to remember a few general tips to enhance your skincare routine during the rainy season:

Cleanse gently: Opt for mild cleansers that effectively remove dirt and impurities without stripping away essential oils. Avoid harsh, drying cleansers that can further aggravate dry and damaged skin.

Exfoliate wisely: Exfoliation is crucial for removing dead skin cells and promoting a smoother complexion. However, be mindful of using gentle exfoliators suitable for your skin type. Avoid overly abrasive scrubs that can cause irritation and damage to already sensitive skin.

Sun protection: Don't underestimate the power of the sun even on cloudy, rainy days. UV rays can penetrate through clouds, leading to skin damage and premature aging. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Stay hydrated: Hydration is key for maintaining healthy skin. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within. Additionally, using hydrating skincare products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid can help retain moisture and improve the skin's natural hydration levels.

Avoid prolonged dampness: While rainwater can be refreshing, excessive exposure to dampness can disrupt the skin's barrier function and contribute to skin problems. After being exposed to rain, ensure that you dry your skin thoroughly and change out of wet clothes promptly to minimize moisture-related issues.

By following these tips and incorporating nourishing and repairing skincare products into your routine, you can effectively combat dryness and repair your skin during the rainy season. Remember, consistency is key, so make sure to maintain a regular skincare regimen and adapt it as needed based on your skin's changing needs. With the right products and care, you can enjoy healthy, hydrated, and radiant skin regardless of the weather outside.

Remember, it's always recommended to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional to determine the best products and routine for your specific skin concerns.

Certainly! Here's the continuation

In addition to incorporating nourishing skincare products, there are a few more tips to keep in mind for optimal skincare during the rainy season:

Patience is key: It may take time for your skin to adjust to the changing weather conditions. Be patient and consistent with your skincare routine, giving your skin ample time to adapt and respond to the products you're using.

Stay consistent with moisturization: Moisturizing is crucial for combating dryness during the rainy season. Apply a moisturizer suited for your skin type and the weather conditions twice a day, focusing on areas prone to dryness such as the face, hands, elbows, and knees.

Protect your skin from environmental aggressors: Rainwater can contain pollutants and impurities that may affect the health of your skin. Consider using an antioxidant-rich serum or moisturizer to provide an added layer of protection against these environmental stressors.

Use gentle, non-irritating products: Rainy weather can make the skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. Opt for skincare products that are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and suitable for sensitive skin to minimize the risk of adverse reactions.

Pay attention to your lips and eyes: These areas are often overlooked but can be affected by the rainy season. Keep your lips moisturized with a nourishing lip balm and protect your eyes with sunglasses to shield them from rainwater and potential pollutants.

Don't forget about exfoliation: While it's important to be gentle with exfoliation, incorporating a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week can help remove dead skin cells and promote a brighter complexion. Look for chemical exfoliants with ingredients like AHAs or BHAs for gentle and effective exfoliation.

Consider using a facial mist: Facial mists can provide instant hydration and refreshment throughout the day. Look for mists that contain hydrating ingredients like aloe vera or rose water to replenish moisture and revive your skin.

Take care of your hands: Frequent handwashing during the rainy season can lead to dry and chapped hands. Apply nourishing hand cream after each wash to keep your hands soft, supple, and well-hydrated.

Remember, everyone's skin is unique, and it's important to listen to your skin's needs. Adjust your skincare routine and product choices based on how your skin responds to the rainy season. If you experience persistent skin concerns or irritation, it's advisable to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and guidance.

By following these tips and incorporating nourishing skincare products into your routine, you can effectively nourish and repair your dry and damaged skin during the rainy season. Prioritize hydration, protection, and consistency to maintain healthy, glowing skin regardless of the weather outside.

How to Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage This Summer

The summer season is often synonymous with fun in the sun, but it's important to protect your skin from sun damage. In this article, we'll discuss the importance of protecting your skin from the sun and share tips for using skincare products to keep your skin healthy and glowing all summer long.

Understanding UV Rays and Their Harmful Effects on Skin

There are two types of UV rays that are, particularly harmful UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and can cause premature ageing, such as wrinkles and age spots. UVB rays, on the other hand, are responsible for sunburns and are the primary cause of skin cancer.

Importance of Sunscreen in Protecting Your Skin

Sunscreen is one of the most important tools in protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. It works by absorbing or reflecting UV rays before they can penetrate your skin. Sunscreen also helps to prevent sunburn and reduces the risk of developing skin cancer.

Sunscreen comes in various forms, including lotions, sprays, and gels. It's important to choose a sunscreen that is suitable for your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, look for a sunscreen that is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.

Applying Sunscreen Properly for Maximum Protection

To ensure maximum protection, it's important to apply sunscreen correctly. Start by applying sunscreen to your face and neck, then move on to other exposed areas of your body. Be sure to apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

Other Sun-Protective Measures You Can Take

In addition to using sunscreen, there are other sun-protective measures you can take to protect your skin. Wearing protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and wide-brimmed hats, can provide additional coverage from the sun's harmful rays. It's also important to seek shade whenever possible, especially during peak sun hours.

Importance of Reapplying Sunscreen Throughout the Day

Sunscreen is not a one-and-done solution for sun protection. It's important to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, especially if you are spending a lot of time outdoors or in the water. Reapplying sunscreen every two hours can help ensure that your skin is protected from the sun's harmful rays.

Using Clothing and Accessories to Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Clothing and accessories can provide additional protection from the sun's harmful rays. Look for clothing made from sun-protective fabric, such as UPF clothing. Hats with wide brims can also provide additional coverage for your face and neck.

Skincare Products with SPF for Added Sun Protection

Skincare products with SPF can provide added sun protection. Look for moisturizers, foundations, and lip balms with SPF to help protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. These products can be used in conjunction with sunscreen for added protection.

Best Skincare Products in India for Sun Protection

India is known for its hot and sunny climate, so it's important to choose skincare products that offer effective sun protection. Some of the best skincare products in India for sun protection include Lotus Herbals Safe Sun UV Screen Matte Gel, Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch Sunblock, and Biotique Bio Sandalwood Sunscreen.

Best Skincare Products for Women for Sun Protection

There are many skin care products available for women that offer sun protection. Some of the best skincare products for women for sun protection include La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra.

Light Fluid, Aveeno Positively Radiant Sheer Daily Moisturizer with SPF, and Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer with SPF.

Skincare Products for Men for Sun Protection

Men's skin needs sun protection just as much as women's skin. Some of the best skincare products for men for sun protection include Clinique for Men Broad Spectrum SPF 21 Moisturizer, Kiehl's Facial Fuel SPF 15 Sunscreen, and Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20.

Tips for Soothing Sunburned Skin

Even with the best sun protection measures in place, sunburns can still happen. If you do get a sunburn, there are several things you can do to soothe your skin. Apply cool compresses, take a cool bath, and use moisturizing lotions to help relieve the discomfort of sunburned skin.

Avoiding Sun Exposure during Peak Hours

Avoiding sun exposure during peak hours can help reduce your risk of sun damage. The sun's rays are strongest between 10 am and 4 pm, so it's important to seek shade or stay indoors during these hours if possible.

Protecting your skin from sun damage is essential for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin. Using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade whenever possible are all important steps you can take to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. By incorporating these sun protection measures into your skincare routine, you can enjoy the summer season while keeping your skin healthy and glowing.

Additionally, choosing the right skincare products for sun protection can make a significant difference in the health of your skin. With so many options available, it's important to choose products that are suitable for your skin type and offer adequate protection against UV rays. By doing so, you can minimize your risk of developing sunburns, premature ageing, and skin cancer.

It's also important to note that sunscreen should be used in conjunction with other sun-protective measures, such as wearing protective clothing and seeking shade whenever possible. Even the best sunscreen cannot offer complete protection from the sun's harmful rays.

When applying sunscreen, be sure to apply it generously and evenly to all exposed areas of your skin. Don't forget to apply sunscreen to your face, neck, and ears, as these areas are often neglected but can be particularly vulnerable to sun damage.

Skincare products with SPF, such as moisturizers and foundations, can be a convenient way to incorporate sun protection into your daily skincare routine. These products are often formulated to be lightweight and non-greasy, making them easy to wear under makeup.

In addition to using sunscreen and skincare products with SPF, there are other measures you can take to protect your skin from the sun. Wearing protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and hats, can provide additional coverage from the sun's harmful rays. Seeking shade whenever possible, especially during peak sun hours, can also help minimize your risk of sun damage.

If you do happen to get a sunburn, there are several things you can do to soothe your skin. Applying cool compresses, taking a cool bath, and using moisturizing lotions can all help relieve the discomfort of sunburned skin. It's also important to stay hydrated and avoid further sun exposure until your skin has fully healed.

By using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, seeking shade whenever possible, and incorporating skincare products with SPF into your routine, you can enjoy the summer season while keeping your skin healthy and glowing. Don't forget to reapply sunscreen every two hours, and if you do get sunburned, take steps to soothe your skin and avoid further damage. With a little extra care and attention, you can keep your skin looking its best all summer long.
