'No smell at least for a day:' Lume's full-body deodorant is now down to $12 a stick
Choosing a new deodorant can be tricky. You want something that doesn't have an overpowering scent but still has enough punch to take out body odor. And if it happens to be free of certain ingredients like aluminum, even better. Well, there's a natural option called Lume that you've probably seen commercials for — and right now, you can save $15 on a two-pack at Amazon.

At $12 a stick, this deodorant is worth it, especially because it can be used all over your body, giving you plenty of mileage. Right now, you can save a solid 38%, so if you've been wondering what the hype is about, now's the time to find out.
One of the biggest things Lume has going for it? What's not in it. The deodorant is free of potentially harsh or harmful ingredients, including propylene glycol and aluminum, and it bypasses potential skin irritants such as gluten, baking soda and soy.
"There is some concern with using aluminum chloride, which is present in regular antiperspirants," Dr. Gary Goldenberg, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, tells Yahoo Life. "However, there are no human studies that show it causes cancer or any other adverse reactions, other than that fact that some may develop an allergic reaction to it."
Lume can be used anywhere on your body that needs odor control: your armpits, feet, privates and more. Just glide it on and move on with your day. It's hypoallergenic and safe to use pretty much anywhere you have skin. It promises to block odors for up to 72 hours, giving you ongoing coverage. Choose from a range of on-sale scents, including Lavender Sage, Clean Tangerine and Peony Rose. Prefer unscented? It's on sale too.
More than 19,000 five-star Amazon reviewers swear by everything from Lume's scents to its coverage.
"It really works!" said a happy customer. "Ever since I've had children, my armpits stink. Maybe hormones? I have tried so many deodorants (including men's) and nothing has worked. This stuff works! No smell at least for a day."
"Can't say enough good about it," said another fan. "Going through perimenopause/menopause with all the heat flashes and night sweats, which gives off a whole different kind of odor. I have literally about 10 different kinds of deodorant on my shelf I've tried, from sticks to sprays to clinical strengths of all different brands ... none of them work. Lume does!"
"I have one armpit that gives me issues, I call it 'Brad Pitt,'" said a third shopper. "My partner says on its worst days it smells like an Italian sub with extra onions. Not the scent I'm going for. I've tried all types of sports, men's, clinical deodorants, not much has helped. So far, it's been working really well, and I'm pleased with the scent and how long-lasting it is. Tried during a workout and it did great. Even great for under-boob sweat."
"I have seen this product advertised for a while now and doubted it would work," a skeptic said. "I have to say, working 12-hour shifts, it is definitely a game-changer. I bought the unscented version and used as directed. It did keep unwanted body odor at bay. The only downside is that it has a slick type of feeling. It does not dry like an antiperspirant."
Some shoppers said the scent didn't last for a full three days, but still put in a good performance. "It does not work 72 hours for me, though it did work about 24 hours," wrote one. "I'm going to keep using it, and see how well it keeps working."
Another reviewer added, "They're on the expensive side as far as deodorants go, but anything without aluminum seems to be going up in price overall." (Good thing you can grab two on sale right now!)
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Newel Health obtains EU MDR for blood pressure management platform
Amid the growing prevalence of hypertension in the EU, Italian health tech Newel Health has secured a CE mark for its Amicomed platform under the EU's Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR), enabling it to support the management of high blood pressure. Compatible with blood pressure monitors including Apple Health and Google Fit, the smartphone app-based platform captures structured blood pressure data and translates it into 'clinically meaningful' insights, Newel Health stated, and offers personalised feedback towards high blood pressure management based on real-world data. The platform's features include medication reminders to improve adherence, and personalised lifestyle and dietary recommendations based on a user's clinical profile. The capabilities are supported by Amicomed's architecture. Developed by Newel Health, the proprietary platform uses artificial intelligence (AI)-based predictive models to improve behavioural segmentation, sustain engagement, and adapt interventions based on an individual's profile. A 2023 report by GlobalData forecasts that AI platforms in healthcare will reach a valuation of $18.8bn by 2027. Newel Health CEO, Ervin Ukaj commented: "We designed Amicomed to offer a digital therapy that fits into people's everyday lives, supporting them, day by day, in managing hypertension. "The MDR certification confirms the strength of our platform and the reliability of our regulatory approach.' Ukaj added that Newel intends to pursue 'scalable growth' by seeking further partnerships with public and private healthcare stakeholders. Systemic hypertension is a key risk factor for chronic disease burden, and a known precursor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) including atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with research indicating that hypertension in the EU is on the rise. A European Commission (EC) survey from 2019 found that 22% of individuals aged 15 and above reported having received a high blood pressure diagnosis from a medical professional, while a 2023 report by the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the number of adults with hypertension in the European region and the Americas rose from 302 million in 1990 to 427 million in 2019 – reflecting a 41% rise. All medical device manufacturers marketing products in the EU must fall in line with the dictates of the EU MDR regulation by 2028. Introduced in 2017 and coming into its 'first phase' of effect in 2021, the EU MDR is promulgated as a means to centralise competencies at the EU level. While well-intentioned, some observers have deemed the regulation's roll out a 'disaster', with concerns around a perceived lack of clarity, and the regulation's overall scope and complexity – factors that have proven particularly challenging for companies with existing device on the European market.

Are there any benefits to using a sunrise alarm clock in summer?
From sleep headbands to sleep masks and viral vagus nerve stimulators, my job as a sleep tech writer means I've tried my fair share of gadgets that promise to help you fall asleep fast and sleep well through the night. But what's the one device that I think is really worth your money? A top sunrise alarm clock. Honestly, I've asked the same question as you — is there really any benefit to using a sunrise-simulating gadget in summer when natural daylight streams through your window? While I can't wake up without one in winter, I assumed a sunrise alarm clock would be redundant come summer. Turns out I was wrong: I'm still using my beloved Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light in June. From elevating your bedtime routine to fighting morning blues, here are the benefits of using a sunrise alarm clock all year round... A sunrise alarm clock is a wake-up and night light, alarm clock and sleep sound machine, all wrapped up in one gadget. There's a sunrise alarm clock to suit every budget and bedroom aesthetic. You can get a Geuuap sunrise alarm clock for just $24.99 at Amazon or splash out on our #1 sunrise alarm clock of the year, the Hatch Restore 2 ($169.99 at Amazon), which comes with a library of sleep mediations and looks sleek on your bedside table. Exposing you to light first thing in the morning, these bedside accessories help regulate your circadian rhythm. This means your body will know exactly when to release and suppress sleepy hormones like melatonin, so you fall asleep fast and wake up alert. You don't have to pack your sunrise alarm clock away during summer. Here's how it can still help you get a good night's sleep and wake up refreshed... The sunset simulation and sleep sounds including with many sunrise alarm clocks are great year-round additions to your nighttime routine. Personally, I love using my Philips SmartSleep as a reading light before bed. It provides a warm light that gradually dims as I read, helping me feel sleepy and relaxed as I get through a chapter or two. Plus I don't have to get up or reach over to turn the light off just as I'm nodding off, counteracting the sleep-inducing effects of reading. You can put it on a timer so it turns off automatically. According to Talker Research, 49% of Gen Z and 32% of baby boomers lean on sounds to fall asleep, and this is where a sunrise alarm clock can help you fall asleep fast. The new Hatch Restore 3 sunrise alarm clock comes with an upgraded audio library holding more than 60 sleep sounds from guided mediations to sleep podcasts, soothing domestic sounds and ASMR. Although simulating natural light is their main purpose, sunrise alarms have audio alarms too. Even though the gradual light increase slowly pulls you from sleep, many people, including our testers, don't wake up to light alone and need an audio alarm too. Packed with natural alarm sounds from tweeting birds to goat sounds, or upbeat music, sunrise alarm clocks have many alarm options that help you start your day on a better note than a jarring iPhone alarm sound. Using an alarm device separate from phone means you can follow science-backed advice and keep screens out of bed for better sleep. Plus, you're less likely to reach for your phone first thing, which experts say is bad news for sleep. Instead of mindlessly scrolling before your head leaves the pillow, you should get natural light exposure to help regulate your circadian rhythm. People subjected to poor sleep because of shift work schedules, or anyone who needs to sleep at irregular times of day or wakes up super early, would particularly benefit from a sunrise alarm clock in summer. Shift workers may need to block out natural daylight for them to be able to nod off during the day to prepare or recover from a night shift. The simulated sunrise can help them wake up gradually at any time of day, preventing grogginess upon waking. While these people can't help their circadian rhythm being out of whack, the simulated daylight will help their internal body clock understand when to be alert and when to rest, which can help lift their mood, energy levels and sleep quality. Heavy sleepers may not be woken up naturally by light coming in through the window, especially on greyer days which, unfortunately, still occur during summer months. The added intensity of light from the sunrise alarm clock can help them wake up. The morning light exposure also helps reinforce your circadian rhythm, especially if you're exposed to late sunsets that can delay melatonin production. What's more, the warm colored light from the alarm clock is more likely to boost your mood than grey skies. This is because morning light exposure boosts serotonin levels, supporting a more positive mood and reducing irritability and grogginess. You may use blackout curtains to get your kids off to sleep at a reasonable time at night throughout the summer months when daylight hours are longer, so the sunrise alarm clock can help wake them up come morning. Plus, they're sure to enjoy the different color light options — particularly on the affordable Momcozy sunrise alarm clock available for $49.99 at Momcozy — and fun sleep and alarm sounds included with most clocks.
