Do Deodorant Concealers Work? Dermatologists Weigh In on Safety

Published by Sam Flores

We don’t always have the answers, but we have some people on speed dial who do — which is why we present to you our series FYI where we have experts explain if lip balm is actually bad, how often you should wash your hair and more. Underarm hyperpigmentation is more common than most people talk about, and it’s the reason a new category of deodorant has been popping up on shelves and in social feeds, it’s called deodorant concealer. Unlike traditional deodorant, these formulas are tinted to match skin tone and are designed to help even out dark or discolored underarm skin while still delivering the odor-fighting benefits of a regular deodorant. But can a tinted stick actually camouflage hyperpigmentation, or is this more marketing than results? And are there drawbacks to using this lesser tested product type on your skin? Here’s what to know about how deodorant concealer works, whether it lives up to the hype, and what derms have to say about what you should consider before you try one. What is …

Others—called altricial animals—need parental attention before venturing out on their own. Echidnas are altricial animals, and their young (called puggles) need lots of attention. Staff members at Harter Veterinary Medical Center in San Diego, California are experiencing their neediness first hand. At the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Kathryn the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) has given birth to two puggles in one season, and one is being hand-raised.  Echidnas are spiky, long-nosed animals native to New Guinea and Australia. Along with platypuses, they are one of two monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. An echidna egg hatches after around 10 days of incubation in the mother’s …

A 'Satistfying' Ending Or A 'Patchy' Farewell? Critics Weigh In On Heartstopper Forever

A 'Satistfying' Ending Or A 'Patchy' Farewell? Critics Weigh In On Heartstopper Forever

Published by Sam Flores

Joe Locke and Kit Connor as Charlie and Nick in Heartstopper Forever Critics are a little split over the final chapter in the Heartstopper story, which debuted on Friday morning. Rather than a fourth season of the popular teen drama, Heartstopper Forever takes the form of a feature-length film, marking one last outing for Kit Connor and Joe Locke as boyfriends Nick and Charlie. While critics are pretty much in agreement that those who’ve been loyal followers of  Heartstopper’s first three seasons will find the movie to be a satisfying end, most have lamented that its focus on Nick and Charlie’s relationship means the wider cast has been sidelined. Meanwhile, there’s some contention over whether or not the film allows its characters to mature convincingly, with some suggesting that the “wholesome” nature of the central couple’s relationship holds Heartstopper Forever back. Here’s a selection of what critics have had to say about Heartstopper Forever so far… The Telegraph (4/5)  “Heartstopper’s 90-minute finale of nice kids being (mostly) nice to each other could have had me …

Dear Trump: Time To Flood America’s Weigh Stations With ICE And CBP Agents

Dear Trump: Time To Flood America’s Weigh Stations With ICE And CBP Agents

Published by Jenni Sidey

Submitted by American Truckers United, We, the truckers who keep America moving, have had enough.  An analysis of crash data and English proficiency violations reveals that drivers from just a handful of states are largely responsible for the epidemic of illegal alien truck and bus drivers terrorizing our highways. These preventable tragedies must end now. We are formally calling on President Donald J. Trump to immediately deploy ICE and CBP officers to commercial weigh stations across the entire country. No more half-measures. No more looking the other way. American families deserve safe roads. The Deadly Data Doesn’t Lie Our review of crash statistics shows that alleged illegal alien truck drivers operating under USDOT numbers domiciled out of California, Illinois, Ohio, Oklahoma, Florida, Massachusetts, and New York are responsible for over 29 fatalities nationwide. Trooper Michael Pahira’s death was 100% preventable. A Pennsylvania State Trooper — a 20-year veteran — was struck and killed on I-81 while conducting a routine commercial vehicle inspection. The driver? Michael Bon, a Haitian illegal alien who entered under Biden parole, had… …

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry issued a statement over the social media ban announced by the UK (Image: Getty) Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have commented on the newly announced proposal from the UK Government, which will see from next year social media use being banned for under-16s. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed the measure announced by Sir Keir Starmer this morning, but warned “while measures such as these help reduce harm, they do not fix the problem at its source”. The statement of the California-based royals read: “We welcome the UK Government’s announcement of new measures to better protect children online. The stories shared through The Lost Screen Memorial remind us that behind every debate about technology and regulation are real families whose lives have been forever changed. While measures such as these may help reduce harm, they do not fix the problem at its source. Lasting change requires safer platforms by design, meaningful accountability and a commitment to putting children’s wellbeing ahead of engagement and profit. “The burden cannot rest solely …

Is the Ferrari Luce’s Design Really That Bad? 3 Italian Auto Experts Weigh In

Is the Ferrari Luce’s Design Really That Bad? 3 Italian Auto Experts Weigh In

Published by skeptic

The Ferrari Luce, the first electric vehicle in the brand’s history, has generated heated discussion online, as comments and opinions about the design continue to bounce around the web. The Luce, an electric sedan with a $650,000 price tag that Ferrari presented with pomp and circumstance at the Quirinale in Rome on Monday, has paid dearly for its coming out from behind the curtain. Since Monday, the automaker has been suffering an avalanche of complaints and skepticism about the Luce. It’s not just the price—which is high even for a Ferrari—but what the car represents and how it fits into the brand’s long and storied legacy. The day after the EV’s debut, Ferrari stock dipped 8 percent. Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, Ferrari’s former chairman, said, “We risk the destruction of a myth.” Carlo Calenda, an Italian senator and the country’s former economic minister, called the release an “aesthetic and technological insult,” and took the opportunity to attack John Elkann—the leader of the Agnelli family, which owns a controlling stake in Ferrari—and his management of the …

Much of the conversation focused on the familiar battlefield of the dinner table bill: should everyone split evenly, or should each person pay only for what they ordered? Some readers argued the inviter should take responsibility for the bill altogether, while others insisted fairness means sticking to your own plate and avoiding subsidising someone else’s steak-and-cocktail extravagance. A recurring theme was just how awkward money talk becomes in real life. Many admitted they’d rather quietly overpay than …
