21 Viral Beauty Products From Amazon
In case you didn't know, Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here's a selection of beauty finds that are so beloved by reviewers, it's safe to say they're *definitely* worth the hype: An LA Girl HD concealer reviewers say works just as well as higher-end options from MAC, Kosas, and Nars while being under $10. A little goes a long way to provide excellent coverage for dark circles and hyperpigmentation, and it's easy to apply and blend with a brush or fingers. A nifty marshmallow whip maker capable of performing one neat magic trick: turning your regular cleanser into an irresistibly fluffy foam. Simply add a smidge of your favorite cleanser, a splash of water, and pump away until you've got a cloud-like concoction. Not only does this make washing your face feel fun, but it's also a savvy way to get your products to last a very long time. A beautiful Coppertone shimmer sunscreen spray that'll make you twinkle like a vampire from Twilight (if they ever left rainy Forks, WA, to go sunbathe on a Miami beach instead). This spray contains SPF 30 and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. And a dry oil Supergoop glow stick with SPF 50 and PA++++ that can be used on the face, chest, and shoulders for ample sun protection *and* a highlighting glow — one reviewer even said this made them look like a dewy diamond. It's recommended to use after your moisturizer to lock in hydration! A set of reusable Glamnetic press-on nails for anyone who dreads sitting in the salon for hours and spending an arm and a leg just for nails. These nail sets are not only pretty and stylish, but also durable and easy to apply. Your nails will look like they took two hours to do, when in reality they only took under 30 minutes. A jar of Egyptian Magic that I'm positive every single person reading this right now can find at least one use for in their everyday life. Reviewers have used this natural, all-purpose balm for just about everything: scar treatment, tattoo aftercare, diaper rashes, psoriasis and eczema relief, to help fade stretch marks, as a lip balm, as a makeup remover (???) — the list goes on. A lightweight E.L.F Camo CC cream ready to become your summer staple, because it enhances your natural beauty while evening out your skin tone with its color-correcting magic. And with SPF 30 in the formula, you're staying sun-smart in addition to looking fabulous! It hydrates for that plumped-up, dewy look and leaves you with an enviable airbrushed finish. A bottle of Paula's Choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant useful for clearing out pores and evening your skin's texture and tone. It's gentle enough to use daily, unlike those other gritty face scrubs that feel like you're sandblasting your skin. A Pure Instinct Roll-On that supposedly blends with your skin's pH, creating a scent that's as individual as you are. Disclaimer: Even if you don't have people swooning at your feet like you're in a rom-com, you'll at least receive compliments on its fruity-floral scent. Magic shaving powder if you have coarse, textured body hair, and no matter how many different razors and creams you try, nothing seems to remove it all. This practically melts hair away in minutes, reduces razor bumps (since this is a razorless option), and leaves your skin silky smooth. This stuff is STRONG, so be sure to follow all the directions and patch test, and once again, only use if you have thick and coarse textured hair. A Milk Hydro primer with the grip strength of a toddler who just found their favorite snack. This wonder product dries down to a fabulously grippy consistency, practically "gluing" your makeup in place while also hydrating your skin and leaving a dewy finish. A Nyx instant brow styler if Cara Delevingne has been on your Pinterest inspo board since high school. With just a few swipes, this magical potion will give your brows that extra *oomph* and hold them in place for 16 hours with no flakiness or icky white residue! Isle of Paradise self-tanning drops so you can give your skin that sun-kissed vibe without baking under actual rays. Just add a few drops to your face moisturizer or lotion, and you'll get a radiant glow. It comes in three options: light for a sunkissed glow, medium for a golden tan, or dark for a deep bronze tan. The more drops you add, the deeper of a tan you'll get. First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub — with the combined power of glycolic and lactic acids, your skin will be left feeling fresh and rejuvenated with a radiant glow. This product is typically used to help with keratosis pilaris (or "chicken skin"), but reviewers say it was also able to help with their body acne. E.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer, a lightweight base that won't have you feeling like you're wearing a mask all day. This primer also has a blurring effect that reduces the appearance of pores and gives you a velvety smooth canvas for your makeup. Or a multitasking Nyx primer packing a punch of benefits so robust, you'll wonder how it all fits into one sleek bottle. It smoothes, softens, hydrates, soothes, evens tone, minimizes texture, blurs lines, adds a soft focus finish, keeps makeup fresh, annndd extends your makeup wear all day. The pale pink tint brightens your complexion, and reviewers note a subtle sweet scent that they absolutely love. LilyAna Naturals eye cream so you'll look more like you got a full eight hours of sleep (even if you only got three).

It's important to think about how to protect our skin from the sunshine
Glorious bursts of sunshine makes it feel like summer has finally arrived. However, it's important to think about how to protect our skin. For people over 60, sun protection goes beyond just avoiding sunburn — it's about safeguarding your health, maintaining comfort, and feeling confident in your skin. Here are some expert-backed, practical tips tailored for mature skin to help you enjoy the sunshine safely and glow with confidence all season long. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen 'It's essential for older people to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30,' says GP Naveed Asif. 'This type of sunscreen protects against both UVA rays, which can age the skin, and UVB rays, which cause sunburn and increase the risk of skin cancer. 'Look for products labelled 'water-resistant' to ensure protection during activities like swimming or sweating.' Plus, remember to reapply every two hours, and immediately after swimming or excessive sweating, he adds. 'Brands like Neutrogena and Coppertone offer reliable options that cater to sensitive skin,' says the GP. Look for signs of sun damage Routinely checking your skin, especially after extended sun exposure, can help detect any changes at an early stage. 'As we age, our skin can show more visible signs of sun damage,' says Asif. 'Common indicators include sunspots, which are flat brown or black spots that appear on areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and arms.' Avoid harsh ingredients 'For those with ageing or fragile skin, it's wise to stay away from sunscreens containing alcohol, fragrances, or preservatives like parabens, as these can irritate sensitive skin,' says Asif. 'Instead, opt for mineral-based sunscreens with active ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. 'These sunscreens not only offer effective protection, but are also less likely to cause irritation. Brands like EltaMD and Blue Lizard are known for their gentle formulations.' Make applying sunscreen a daily habit Sunscreen should be part of your daily routine regardless of the weather. 'UV rays can penetrate clouds, so apply sunscreen even on overcast days,' says Asif. 'Make it a habit to apply it 15-30 minutes before going outside and remember to reapply every two hours. 'This is especially important if you are spending time outdoors or engaging in water activities.' Be cautious with medications 'Some medications can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, increasing the risk of sunburn,' says Asif. 'For example, certain antibiotics, diuretics, and even some over-the-counter medications can heighten sensitivity. 'If you're on medication, ask your doctor or chemist if it can affect your sun sensitivity.' Use a lip balm with SPF 'Opt for a lip balm that contains SPF 15 or higher to shield your lips from harmful UV rays,' says Asif. 'Look for products that contain moisturising ingredients, like shea butter or coconut oil, which can help prevent chapping.' Be mindful of fabrics 'To minimise the risk of sunburn through clothing, choose garments with tighter weaves, darker colours, and consider UPF-rated options for the best protection,' says Dr Karishma Hemmady, a consultant dermatologist. 'Loosely woven fabrics allow more UV rays to penetrate through to the skin.' Wear a wide-brimmed hat 'Wear hats with wide brims that provide shade to your face, neck, and ears,' says Hemmady. 'Hats made from tightly woven fabrics or those with UPF ratings offer better protection.' Buy sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection 'Protect your eyes with sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays,' says Hemmady. Stay in the shade during peak hours 'Whenever possible, stay in shaded areas, especially during peak sun-intensity hours (10am to 4pm),' says Hemmady. Stay hydrated 'Drinking plenty of water helps keep the skin hydrated and can improve its resilience against sun damage,' says Asif. 'Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily, and consider incorporating hydrating foods, like cucumbers, oranges and watermelon, in to your diet.' Use a gentle moisturiser After spending a day in the sun, your skin may feel dry or irritated. 'To help soothe and replenish moisture, use a gentle moisturiser containing ingredients like aloe vera or hyaluronic acid,' says Asif. 'These ingredients hydrate the skin and support the natural healing process. 'Products like CeraVe or Aveeno can be excellent choices for post-sun care, as they include nourishing ingredients that are beneficial for ageing skin.' Regular skin check-ups 'Annual skin checks with a dermatological healthcare professional are crucial for seniors, especially if they have a history of skin issues or family history of skin cancer,' says Asif. 'These professionals can spot potential problems that may not be visible to the untrained eye.'

Appeals court sides with Hamburger Mary's in suit challenging Florida drag show law
ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando restaurant won a significant court victory against Gov. Ron DeSantis Tuesday with a federal appeals panel rejecting a Florida law aimed at keeping children out of drag shows, saying it was overly broad and likely unconstitutional. Judges sided with Hamburger Mary's, a drag-themed eatery, in a 2-1 decision. The restaurant sued DeSantis and Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation in 2023, arguing the state law passed that year bars children from even the 'most innocent drag performances.' Writing for the majority, Judge Robin S. Rosenbaum said the law's language wasn't specific enough to meet First Amendment standards. 'By providing only vague guidance as to which performances it prohibits, the Act wields a shotgun when the First Amendment allows a scalpel at most,' said Rosenbaum's 81-page majority opinion joined by Judge Nancy Abudu. 'And Florida's history of arbitrarily enforcing other, similar laws against performances that are far from obscene only deepens our concerns.' The state appealed to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after a lower court issued a preliminary injunction blocking the law. In a statement, DeSantis spokesman Brian Wright blasted the appeals court's decision as an 'egregious overreach by a federal court' that prohibits the state 'from enforcing a common sense law.' 'No one has a constitutional right to perform sexual routines in front of little kids,' he said. 'We will do everything possible to have this lawless decision overturned.' But John Paonessa, co-owner of Orlando's Hamburger Mary's restaurant, said laws were already on the books to protect children from sexually explicit content. He said he thinks the intention of the 2023 law was to intimidate venues from letting children into any event featuring performers in drag. 'For them lewd and inappropriate is just a drag queen dressed in clothes not exposing anything,' he said. 'That to them is too much.' Though supporters argued the law, dubbed the 'Protection of Children Act,' was needed to shield children from sexually explicit performances, critics blasted it as targeting the LGBTQ+ community with unclear language that could endanger drag brunches and even the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' musical. Hundreds of drag performers marched in Tallahassee in protest of the legislation. The statute doesn't explicitly mention drag shows. Instead, it prohibits minors from attending an 'adult live performance' that 'depicts or simulates nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or specific sexual activities,' including 'the lewd exposure of prosthetic or imitation genitals or breasts.' The law came after a DeSantis administration crackdown on venues where children attended drag shows. Hamburger Mary's was forced to ban children from what the restaurant called its family-friendly shows, resulting in a 20% drop in Sunday bookings, according to the restaurant's suit. In the opinion, judges referenced Miami's iconic Coppertone sunscreen billboard to bolster their argument. The ad shows 'a girl, perhaps age seven, or so, with a dog pulling at her swimsuit, revealing her pale posterior and its contrast with her tanned skin,' Rosenbaum wrote. 'Would a depiction like the Coppertone logo be 'patently offensive' for a five-year-old? An eight-year-old? How about a seventeen-year-old? We don't know, and we don't think the burden should be on speakers to find out,' she wrote. Judge Gerald Bard Tjoflat dissented, writing he thought the majority went too far and 'reads the statute in the broadest possible way, maximizes constitutional conflict, and strikes the law down wholesale.' Tjoflat wrote the court should engage the law's text 'in good faith and with the presumption that the Legislature did not intend to infringe on constitutional rights.' Last year, Hamburger Mary's shuttered its location on Church Street in downtown Orlando. Owners said in January they are hoping to reopen in Kissimmee. _____

Ilona Maher Reveals the Reason Why 'I Just Do One Shower' a Day During Rugby Season (Exclusive)
Rugby star Ilona Maher is weighing in on a hot topic: How many showers is too many showers in one day? Maher, 28, fresh off of her first season playing with the Bristol Bears in England, tells PEOPLE she typically just showers once a day — even during the rugby season — as she reacts to the internet's viral debate regarding former NBA star Rajon Rondo's confession that he would shower five times on game days. "Five showers is cuckoo," laughs Maher, the newest face of Coppertone sunscreen. "Actually, I just do one shower a day, maybe I need to start doing more, but when you're training, you're so busy that you just train." Related: Ilona Maher Gets Emotional After Final Rugby Match with Bristol Bears The Olympian and Dancing with the Stars alum says she doesn't find it efficient to shower so many times in one day. "Because getting sweaty, and then we're going to get more sweaty, and then we're going to get more sweaty after that. At what point is your microbiome going to get f---ed? Is it going to be like, what the hell is happening?" "So no, I just do one shower," says Maher, "maybe two if it's a real muddy one." The rugby star also enjoys taking baths, but has had to go without them while playing for Premiership Women's Rugby in the UK. "I love a bath. There's no baths here, but we recently went to a sauna and an ice bath place and that was really fun," shares Maher. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Taking care of herself is crucial for Maher, on and off the field. Another non-negotiable is working with brands that she believes in, like Coppertone. "It's all about authenticity for me — and brands that I genuinely use, I find easier to promote because it's something I trust." Related: Olympics Star Ilona Maher Wears Lipstick on Rugby Pitch to Buck Stereotypes That It's a 'Man's Sport' (Exclusive) "You can look in my locker," she continues, "I have Coppertone in there, and it's the brand that I trust to use when I'm about to go out there and sweat and run and be in the sun for hours and hours a day." Maher uses the 50+ SPF "because I literally want as much protection as possible when I'm out there," she shares. "I can just easily spray it on and be ready to go and feel protected from sun, sweat, heat, water, whatever it is for the whole training session." Read the original article on People
