Use a high SPF: A water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher will be the safest choice for your kids. This ensures your sunscreen protects against both harmful UVA and UVB rays.Choose mineral: Many dermatologists prefer physical (a.k.a. mineral) sunscreens made of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, which deflect sun rays, whereas a chemical sunscreen absorbs them, says Dr. Feely. These natural sunscreens are often gentler on kids’ sensitive skin. (Mineral formulas are also reef-safe, so you’ll keep coral-damaging chemicals out of our oceans too.) “Babies and kids have thinner skin and a higher surface-to-volume ratio,” says…

It’s more…
Tom Holland and Zendaya were spotted kissing in Italy in view of the paparazzi. Photographers captured the pair having a moment in Venice yesterday, with Zendaya kissing Holland’s cheek in one shot. Holland once talked about their penchant for privacy: “One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy isn’t really in our control anymore,” he said. “I’ve always been really adamant to keep my private life private, because I share so much of my life with the world anyway. We sort of felt robbed of our privacy.”Two years ago, Tom Holland and Zendaya’s secret romance was outed when…

When you wake up in the morning, you can’t be sure of what the day will bring. Even with the best-laid plans and routines, much of what happens when you step outside is out of your control. This fact can kick off a spiral of negative thinking, as you face challenges throughout the day, and make you forget that you do have some say in what happens to you because you can control your reactions to what happens. But when irrational beliefs and thought patterns take hold and obscure this, they can disrupt your life and hold you back from…
Hear the term “push-pull” workout, and you probably think of upper-body workouts in which you superset pushing exercises, like push-ups and bench presses, with pulling movements, like chin-ups and dumbbell rows. But the time-efficient structure of a push-pull workout can (and should) be applied leg day, too, says Dane Miklaus, C.S.C.S., founder of WORK Training Studio in Irvine, California. He explains that the terms “push” and “pull” correspond with the muscle groups used to “open” and “close” a joint, respectively. For example, exercises targeting the muscles that flex or close the hip joint are considered pulling exercises, while movements that…
Most of us may not be able to churn out tasting menus or author cookbooks, but if there’s one thing we have in common with chefs, it’s the inability to resist the siren song of the Bloomin’ Onion. Even chefs, with all their culinary acumen and affinity for top-tier ingredients, love a chain restaurant now and again, be it an Italian spot, a streamlined burger, or a familiar fixture for Mexican comfort food. Fast-food chains, in particular, are a frequent fixture for chefs, but when they’ve got extra time to wine and dine, full-service chains scratch the itch just as…
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been told I need to do more core work to fix my lower back. My lumbar spine has always been a bit swayed. As a teenage ballet dancer, one of the most common corrections I’d get from teachers was, “Tuck in your popo!” (Which would be your butt, BTW.) Now that my favorite hobby is running, I’ll often see in race photos (especially during the later miles) that it looks like I’m leaving my butt half a foot behind the rest of my body—not the most efficient form, nor the most comfortable.…
Every day, you make thousands of decisions—whether you realize it or not. Some have little bearing on your future, like choosing between chicken or carnitas at Chipotle or debating whether you’ll take a bus or Uber back home. Other choices—like starting a small business for your crafty hobby, say, or leaving your cozy hometown and moving across the country—may require a serious pros and cons list.Weighing so many options and pondering all the potential outcomes can be extremely stressful, especially for those of us who overcomplicate even the simple things in life (like figuring out the best route for a…
