There’s a reason why you always board a plane on the left side, regardless of the airline or your seat class. It all goes back to maritime traditions and the placement of the steering oar on ships.

This arrangement allows pilots to better judge distances while taxiing to the gate, and it keeps ground crew out of the way of passengers.
Wearing sunscreen daily is crucial for protecting your skin from sun damage, which can lead to premature aging and even skin cancer. Despite the common misconception that foundation with SPF provides adequate protection, on its own, it is insufficient. The recommended amount of sunscreen for daily use is two finger lengths, which is equivalent to a teaspoon. Neglecting to apply sunscreen can have serious consequences, including accelerated skin aging, damage to the skin’s elasticity, and increased risk of wrinkles and pigmentation. Modern facial sunscreens are formulated to be lightweight, non-sticky, and non-greasy. Some even offer additional benefits such as anti-aging properties or skin-nourishing ingredients like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid. Our beauty experts have carefully selected their top sunscreen recommendations for various skin concerns. Whether you prefer a moisturizing formula, a tinted option, or a mineral-based solution, there is a sunscreen that will effectively protect and care for your skin. Remember, sunscreen is not just for summer; it’s essential for daily use, regardless of the season.
