With the welcoming of colder months and it's much colder weather, you get a lot of changes. The good: PSL's, all the chunky knit sweaters, and cozy fall candles. The bad: allergies, dry skin, and chilly nights. And while I'll quickly embrace all of the good, one thing I continue to struggle with year after year is dry skin, specifically around my hands.

On top of regularly struggling with dry skin, as soon as September and October hits everything just gets worst. The harsh weather makes my hands so dry, wrinkled, and crackly. I'm starting to notice more and more sagging skin in areas with thinner skin, like my neck or my hands — which is so not what I'm going for.

In order to get ahead of the problem and in an attempt to treat it, I talked to the experts to Sara Millecam (Founder at Lash Lift Store), Nashville-based dermatologist Dr. Natalie Curcio, and Jessica Iturzaeta (Licensed Esthetician of Simply Jess Skincare) to get the inside scoop on how to treat wrinkles and dry skin! Keep on reading to hear all about their thoughts!

What type of products should you use for dry or wrinkled hands?

Sora Shimazaki

Jessica Iturzaeta, of Simply Jess Skincare, gave me the best advice for what ingredients and qualities to look for when it comes to treating dry or wrinkled hands. She said that an ultra moisturizing, cream-based product is going to be the most nourishing for you! Iturzaeta also let us know that she loves ingredients like ceramides and glycerin, as they're humectants — AKA they "promote the retention of water," according to Merriam-Webster.

Iturzaeta also suggested adding some oil to the cream and really let that absorb into the skin when you're treating dry and chapped hands. Doing this at night — almost like a mask for the hands — gives the products time to really absorb and repair the skin!

Another tip? SPF, SPF, SPF. If you're like me, then you're an avid SPF user on your face, but didn't know to apply it to your hands as regularly! Never neglect the neck and hands when applying your sunscreen for the day — this is key!

Amazon

Supergoop Handscreen

Speaking of sunscreen, this incredible "handscreen" (get it?) is a largely loved product by many. It's perfect for making sure your hands are covered and staying protected in the sun from any UV rays, which will also prevent wrinkles! This sunscreen is made to be the perfect texture for your hands, leaving them with no grease or oil residue!

Amazon

Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Exfoliant

Iturzaeta says that she always tell her clients to not only treat the hands with moisturizer, but also adding exfoliating products to treat the wrinkles, like alpha hydroxy acids. These will help to make sure you're keeping the hands nice and smooth, before you go in with additional moisturizers and oils. This product is one of her fave exfoliants to start off your hand skincare routine! You'll definitely want to add this to your list!

Amazon

Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream

Sara Millecam, Founder at Lash Lift Store, says that when looking to moisturize and rejuvenate dry wrinkled hands, you want to focus on active ingredients that will hydrate and repair the skin. Shea butter and ceramides deeply moisturize skin, while hyaluronic acid adds volume and hydration. Glycerin is also great, given how it takes moisture from the air and transfers it to the skin. She says regarding age control, retinol, peptides and antioxidants like vitamins C and E assist with collagen synthesis and shielding from pollution respectively!

She recommends Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream especially because it contains a blend of ceramides, glycerin, and urea that delivers deep moisture! We love the sound of that!

Amazon

O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream

O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream is also another excellent product that Millecam recommended for us! She says that it is praised for moisturizing even the most dehydrated, sore skin because of the high glycerin level in it! It will work hard to give you buttery soft and smooth hands in no time! We love this one!

Amazon

StriVectin Volumizing Hand Cream

This hand cream is a fantastic product recommended by Millecam. She explained that it offers age-related benefits such as improvement of skin laxity through powerful peptides and moisturizers, slowing down the occurrence of dynamic surface wrinkles over time. This means that it will work hard to not only prevent future wrinkles, but also help diminish the existing ones you have already!

Lovely Skin

DefenAge 10 Lux Cream

For dry, wrinkled hands, Nashville-based dermatologist Dr. Curcio recommends using the 10 Luxe Hand and Body Cream. She notes that using this product, both alone and in combination with skin rejuvenation procedures, can help reduce skin crepiness, tighten skin, and improve the overall quality of the skin. This cream belongs to the category of “performance skincare,” which provides anti-aging benefits on a global scale. Dr. Curcio says that it's a cream with a rich, luxurious texture, elegant feel, clean smell of natural ingredients, and fragrance-free.

It's also super fast-acting! The first results will usually appear immediately to one week after the first application and include a feeling of increased hydration and decreased dryness, which makes the skin feel better! After a couple weeks, you will notice a huge difference in your skin!

SkinCeuticals

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore

This patented anti-aging cream won BeautyInc's greatest skincare award, so it's among some of the best products you can get when it comes to anti-aging. That's why we had to add it to the list! While we want to always take care of our face and neck, we can't neglect the hands as well! So, apply this rapid anti-aging cream on your hands after using it on your face, and you'll start seeing incredible change!

Amazon

First Aid Beauty Collagen Cream

First Aid Beauty has to be one of my all-time favorite brands ever. They help treat so many of my skin problems like eczema, washing, dryness — and now also hand skincare! This firming cream is filled with collagen, which will help to fill in any lines or wrinkles that you may have on your hands. It will also be great for firming those areas where skin might be sagging or loose. Put this on your neck for firming, then add to your hands. It's a simple addition to your skincare routine that's just that easy!

I Talked To A Dermatologist About Retinol — Here Are Her Recs For Younger Looking Skin

Sometimes the skincare world can seem a bit daunting and overwhelming. There are soooo many different products with so many people trying to sell them with promises that it will "change your skin for life." And while that might be the case occasionally, it's often not.

But what are the products you can actually trust? I like to shop smarter by actually looking at the ingredients first — and one ingredient I know can really works wonders when it comes to fine lines and wrinkles is retinol. And while, I know that this is a trusted ingredient, I need to do some research into it. Which is exactly what I did when speaking to Dr. Hannah Kopelman, a dermatologist at Kopelman Aesthetic Surgery. She gave me a full breakdown of what retinol really is and the best retinol products you can actually trust. So without further ado, let's get into it!

What is retinol?

Andrea Piacquadio

Retinol is a powerful ingredient that can help target fine lines and wrinkles! When talking to Dr. Kopelman, she explained that it's a derivative of vitamin A, one of the most effective ingredients in skincare for promoting cell turnover, boosting collagen production, and improving skin texture.

It's an ingredient that is incredibly powerful, so you want to make sure you start off slow, using it every other night or every two nights to start, and build up your tolerance. Dr. Kopelman says it's best to start with a lower concentration if you're new to retinol to avoid irritation!

What are the benefits of retinol?

cottonbro studio

Retinol can have so many benefits from helping with: fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, uneven skin tone, skin texture, and more! Dr. Kopelman says that it's ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and even out skin tone makes it a go-to in anti-aging routines. It also helps in clearing acne by keeping pores unclogged, making it beneficial for a wide range of skin concerns. As a dermatologist, Dr. Kopelman says that she often recommends retinol serums to patients who are looking to maintain or achieve younger-looking skin.

Who Has The Best PSL? Spoiler Alert: It’s Not Starbucks

After 2 hours worth of coffee runs, approximately 47 minutes of suffering an intense sugar rush, and a spout of indigestion I’ll certainly be regretting later, I’ve found the best PSL— and it's likely not what you think.

Pumpkin spice season started excruciatingly early this year, with chains like Starbucks, Dunkin', and Krispy Kreme popping out with their fall menus starting August 12. Now that fall is finally setting in in my neck of the woods, I don’t feel entirely out of character ordering a PSL. Hence, a taste test was born.

Meredith Holser

I traveled to four of the most popular coffee chains that got ahead of the PSL game this season: Starbucks, Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme, and Dutch Bros. Not only did I set out to find the best-tasting PSL (though taste is a huge factor), I also wanted to see how they measured up in terms of price. Coffee is not always cheap these days! Scroll on to discover the best PSL you can order, according to my taste test.

Meredith Holser

Starbucks

Order: Tall hot PSL

Cost: $5.75

If there’s one thing I can count on from a Starbucks PSL, it’s comfort. Maybe it’s the nostalgia in me, but that first sip is always soothing. Starbucks’ classic PSL is perfectly sweet, but there’s not a ton of spice. I do really enjoy how creamy the pumpkin spice flavor is – likely because they use a thick pumpkin sauce as opposed to a syrup.

I ordered a hot PSL in a tall size for my taste test (because I knew my stomach couldn’t, well, stomach three more standard-sized PSLs), though I wished I had requested a grande. Larger sizes at Starbucks are crafted with more espresso, so I didn’t get a ton of coffee notes from the tall swig that only had one shot. After a solid 5-minute sip session, I have to grant Starbucks’ PSL 3.5/5 stars. The lack of a caffeinated coffee punch and a wild abundance of orange (the drink’s color is quite jarring) left me no choice but to knock off some points.

Meredith Holser

Dunkin’

Order: Small hot PSL

Cost: $5.19

Dunkin’s PSL is definitely worth skipping. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m a Dunkin’ girly through and through (their Dunkalatte is bangin’), but upon first sip of their PSL, I gagged – I can’t lie. Their PSL is way too sweet and literally just tastes like syrup. Transparently, I tasted a lot more vanilla than pumpkin flavor (and a hint of candle fragrance), which was disappointing, given the drink is literally called Pumpkin Spice Latte.

I felt like I needed to take a big breath and touch grass after drinking it. To top it off, the little espresso I detected the drink tasted very bitter and burnt. For the money I spent, I can definitively say it’s not worth it. It’s gonna be 1/5 stars for me, thanks!

Meredith Holser

Dutch Bros

Order: Small hot PSL

Cost: $4.85

Next on my taste test was Dutch Bros. I don’t often make a beeline to this coffee chain, but I was pretty loyal to them in college (for the Cocomo alone), so my hopes were fairly high. I ordered a small hot PSL – and it was definitely pumpkiny. Concerningly pumpkiny, even. Their pumpkin flavor read more savory than sweet in my opinion, which I think could offer a fun and refreshing sip when you’re tired of downing super-sweet drinks.

At this point in the taste test, I was tweaking hard from all the sugar and caffeine I had consumed, but the depth of flavor with Dutch Bros’ PSL ultimately impressed me. The best part was I wasn’t missing out on the espresso at all! The espresso was extremely prevalent even in the small-sized drink. I’m not sure I would order it again since my nearest Dutch Bros is 20 minutes from home, but it certainly earned my stamp of approval. That’s a 4/5 star rating for you, Dutch.

Meredith Holser

Krispy Kreme

Order: Small hot PSL

Cost: $2.59

I fear that Krispy Kreme is a true underdog when it comes to breakfast and coffee, especially their PSL. Krispy Kreme’s PSL tasted scarily similar to Starbucks, though it wasn’t as devilishly sweet. After sipping on it, I can confidently say I absolutely prefer this less-sweet version. I was honestly so shocked at how good it was – I sat in my car with my jaw dropped for a good moment. For only $2.59, I felt it was too good to be true. The drink was hot, fresh, and flavorful, and the low price made it all the better. Krispy Kreme’s pumpkin flavoring wasn’t extremely in my face, though I still got the pumpkiny effect that’s perfect for the season. If you’re a ride-or-die Starbucks fan, you need to make your way to Krispy Kreme. Trust me. I’m granting it 4.5/5 stars – and we have a winner, baby!

7 Best Body Lotions For Dry, Flaky Skin Under $20

The dry spell fall and winter puts on my skin is infuriating. There's nothing more I love than a good summer glow, so once it starts to cool down and dry out outside, I know it's time to pull out the big guns: my thickest, most hydrating body lotions. Moisturizing your skin on the regular (I'm talkin' every single day) can help you combat the same dryness and flakiness – these are the 7 best body lotions to use all fall and winter long to effectively hydrate your skin and supply the glow, and the most satisfying part is they're all under $20!

Amazon

Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Body Lotion For Dry Skin

This $13 jumbo bottle of body lotion is my absolute go-to for daily hydration. It's formulated with antioxidant-rich coconut oil and green coffee extract that work in combination to soften and hydrate the skin for up to 48 hours. My skin always feels nourished after applying a substantial amount all over my body, especially after showering in hot water. It supplies my skin with a very healthy-looking glow, which I can tell is in part to the product's real, high-quality, and 100% plant-based formulation. It also smells like sweet coconuts, which earns it tons of bonus points in my book.

Amazon

eos Shea Better Body Lotion

This $9 (was $11) body lotion went viral for a reason. In addition to its addictive notes of whipped vanilla, soft musk, and cozy caramel, this product is a star at hydrating the skin with 7 nourishing (and natural) shea oils and shea butters. I've found the pump dispenses the ideal amount of product for each of my limbs. It works its magic best on clean skin. One thing to note about this pick is that the added fragrance could potentially irritate extra-sensitive skin.

Amazon

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream Body & Face Moisturizer For Dry Skin

CeraVe is one of the most commonly recommended brands from dermatologists and skincare experts we consult for advice, making this $18 (was $19) moisturizer a very solid choice for combatting dry, flaky skin. It contains hyaluronic acid and 3 essential ceramides which help support your skin's barrier for long-lasting hydration. Thanks to this product's gentle fragrance-free, paraben-free, allergy-tested, and non-comedogenic formulation, you can use it across your body and face, or even as a hand cream! It's been developed with derms to certify safety for dry skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, and acne-prone skin.

Amazon

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

After trying First Aid Beauty's Nourishing After-Shower Body Oil(and loving it), I had to give this hydrating cream a try. It boasts a whipped texture that's still light enough to not leave a sticky or greasy feel on the skin. I haven't found many body lotions with collodial oatmeal, which I enjoy a lot for its barrier-supporting properties. Collodial oatmeal is also perfectly suitable for extremely dry, flaky skin and eczema-prone areas because it's gentle while still hydrating and soothing. This $16 product is also clinically proven to immediately improve skin hydration by 169%!

Amazon

Jergens Ultra Healing Dry Skin Moisturizer

Jergens is another great reputable brand for fuss-free, dermatologist-trusted skincare. The $11 (was $12) formula boasts vitamins C, E, and B, which all nourish extra-dry skin up to 48 hours with no irritation. It's also loved for treating especially rough spots like your heels, elbows, and knees, all of which definitely crave extra love when fall and winter come around. With consistent use, your skin will appear visibly healthier and hydrated over time!

Amazon

Hempz Triple Moisture Body Moisturizer

When I'm not slathering my skin in the Palmer's body lotion, Hempz comes to the rescue. They make a wide variety of scents and formulations (their hand cream is heavenly), but this Triple Moisture iteration is my favorite for all skin types. It does carry a light scent of peach and grapefruit, but it's not crafted with any harsh chemicals that'll irritate the skin. This $20 (was $28) bottle contains yangu oil, natural hemp seed oil, and vitamins A, C, and E to deliver nothing but healthy radiance! The whipped texture is totally luxe, too.

Selfmade

Selfmade Corrective Experience Comfort Cream

Though more of a gel-cream than a traditional lotion, this $18 (was $30) product from Selfmade is extremely satisfying and effective in tackling dry skin. My skin looks super hydrated and glowy the instant I spread this on, and it never leaves a sticky, greasy feel after the fact. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and hemisqualene which support the skin barrier and soak in deep for exceptional moisture. It's definitely a unique take on your everyday lotion, and I couldn't recommend it enough!

Emily Blunt Is "Hoping" This Hilarious 'Devil Wears Prada' Detail Makes It Into The Sequel

Think of the most quotable movies you know, and there's a good chance The Devil Wears Prada makes the list. Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly is just that iconic. The Academy Award-winning actress perfected the movie's balance of biting edge, style, and hidden vulnerability to create a character that is one in a million — and it looks like we could see even more of her thanks to a new The Devil Wears Prada sequel in the works!

News of the sequel first broke in July 2024, right after Emily Blunt actually said the cast would be "good" without a sequel and simply cherishing the first movie. Well it looks like we need to head back into our closets for all the cerulean belts and Chanel boots we can find. Here's everything you need to know about The Devil Wears Prada 2!

Is the original cast returning for The Devil Wears Prada sequel?

MJ Kim/Getty Images

While both Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway have agreed in the past that it makes sense for Andy's story to end with the first movie, Emily recently teased her return during the American Institute for Stuttering Gala on September 16. “It’s cool,” she tells People.

“I just wanna get some good eye makeup going again,” she continues, before joking that maybe her character Emily will come down with another stomach flu. “I’m hoping for that.”

Anne, however, isn't sure what the story would look like in the modern digital age. “I don’t know if there can be [a sequel],” she said on a 2022 episode of The View (via Deadline). “I just think that movie was in a different era. Now everything’s gone so digital and that movie is centered around the concept of producing a physical thing and it’s just, it’s just very different.”

“Sometimes things should be cherished and preserved in this bubble and it’s okay,” Emily Blunt told Josh Horowitz in February 2024 (via People).

Is there The Devil Wears Prada 2?

20th Century Fox/Disney

Yes, it looks like we're finally getting a The Devil Wears Prada sequel! The original movie came out in 2006, and fans have hoped for another installment ever since Andy ditched Miranda in Paris.

The OG movie's screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna is reportedly back for round 2, as is director David Frankel and producer Wendy Finerman, according to Deadline.

What book is the sequel to Devil Wears Prada?

Amazon

The second The Devil Wears Prada book is called Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns — and there's a good chance this will become the second The Devil Wears Prada movie! The book follows Andy, who's finally at the top of her game. She's a successful magazine editor, she's engaged, and her relationship with Emily is better than ever. But when Miranda Priestly makes a grand return, she flips Andy's life upside down...again.

Stay tuned for more news on The Devil Wears Prada sequel and read up on This Deleted Scene from The Devil Wears Prada Will Completely Change the Way You See Miranda Priestly for more.
