Preservatives are also essential to keeping formulas fresh and functional. However, it’s important to understand that not all preservatives work in the same way – and that while some should be avoided, others are completely safe.

In fact, “the lips are particularly prone to dryness as opposed to skin on other parts of the body”, says Dr Brian Toy, a US-based dermatologist and a clinical professor in the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. This is because the skin on your lips is thin, so it’s more sensitive. It is also constantly exposed to the elements, as opposed to body parts like feet that are usually protected by shoes... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3207268/dry-cracked-lips-it-could-be-sunburn-yeast-infection-vitamin-deficiencies-or-something-else-heres?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3207268/dry-cracked-lips-it-could-be-sunburn-yeast-infection-vitamin-deficiencies-or-something-else-heres?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 20 Jan 2023 10:15:09 +0000 When life gets too busy, multi-use products come in really handy to save time and money. Back in the ’80s, when two-in-one shampoo-conditioning products broke into the market, shoppers went crazy over them. Nonetheless, people soon realised these promising formulas were not so much the “best of both worlds” but instead more of a shampoo with conditioning benefits – or what today would simply be considered a hydrating shampoo. With use over time, these two-in-one formulas often led to product... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3206935/6-best-multipurpose-make-products-save-money-time-and-possibly-environment?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3206935/6-best-multipurpose-make-products-save-money-time-and-possibly-environment?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 16 Jan 2023 20:15:11 +0000 Since the dawn of the cinematic arts, filmmakers – and then later TV producers – have sought out photogenic locations to use as settings and backdrops for their storylines. When perfected, these spots are so iconic they become more than just a filming location and stand as a veritable character in the show or film itself. Of the most legendary locations across both film and television, it’s understandably luxury hotels that audiences find enviable … and keen to experience themselves.

Her skin looks like one of those ancient marble busts commemorating a queen: smooth, even and fascinating. Streep has certainly aged since her rise to fame. Now 73, time has only revealed and deepened her natural beauty, as though a sculptor had patiently carved away the extraneous to reveal the art underneath. Fans call Streep brave for not resorting to major plastic surgery to hack her way back to youth.

Spun off from Yellowstone, a modern-day cowboy saga that has become a rare cable television ratings juggernaut in the US, Ford’s prequel series traces the ancestors of the wealthy, ruthless Dutton clan and their sprawling Montana ranch. “It’s a very complicated and ambitious – epic, even – undertaking, this... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3203792/harrison-ford-took-yellowstone-prequel-1923-role-because-good-writing-star-wars-actor-switching-tv?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3203792/harrison-ford-took-yellowstone-prequel-1923-role-because-good-writing-star-wars-actor-switching-tv?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 19 Dec 2022 09:15:09 +0000 As odd as it might sound, Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All might just be the sexiest cannibal film ever made. That’s what happens when you cast Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell as your leads. Ever since Chalamet starred in Guadagnino’s Oscar-winning Call Me by Your Name in 2017, he’s been causing hysteria wherever he goes.

Nowadays, however, that’s a pretty outdated notion. Actress Demi Moore, for instance, has made it clear she has no intention of getting rid of her long locks, but as the 59-year-old ages, keeping her hair healthy involves much more than it did when she was younger. In a recent interview, she mentioned how it stuck with her... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3188937/how-make-old-hair-look-younger-demi-moore-does-expert-tips?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3188937/how-make-old-hair-look-younger-demi-moore-does-expert-tips?utm_source=rss_feed Mon, 15 Aug 2022 08:29:42 +0000 The untimely death of Natalie Wood in 1981 remains one of Hollywood’s most enduring and unfortunate mysteries.

But for those paying closer attention, the 2022 Academy Awards also marked a turning point for diversity and inclusion in the industry.

And while the big awards are usually won by established movie stars, there have been plenty of youthful newcomers that have walked away with Academy Awards over the years. But did they make it as adults too? Let’s take a look … 1. Jodie Foster At 14, Jodie Foster was nominated for best supporting actress for her role in the 1976 film Taxi Driver.
