The sitch: After a long day at the beach you get a sunburn, despite you swearing that you applied enough sunscreen to avoid one. What can you do?

Start Here

As soon as you get home, take a cool shower followed by ibuprofen or another pain reliever. You want to get ahead of the pain before it arrives, and this way you can avoid swelling and showering when the pain worsens. Moisturize post-shower, using an ultra-hydrating, soothing lotion. We recommend Coola’s Radical Recovery Eco-Cert Organic After Sun Lotion. Drink plenty of water, because your body needs it.

Cover Your Bases

Throughout the next few days, the pain may worsen and/or your skin will start to itch. Use a soothing lotion or gel to calm inflamed skin. Personally, we’re not fans of sticky products, so Sun Bum’s After Sun Cool Down Gel or Sun Skills AFTERSUN GEL are both incredible options. If you know you’re prone to burning, pop them in the fridge ahead of time for an extra boost of coolness.

When Your Skin Starts to Peel

MOISTURIZE! Moisturizing will be your best friend, believe us. Or don’t, but definitely believe Florida-based Riverchase Dermatology. If your skin is peeling, that means you have dead skin cells from your burn. Nourish your new, non-burnt skin with Aveeno’s Restorative Skin Therapy Moisturizing Oat Repairing Cream.

Protect Your Skin for Next Time

One sunburn is more than enough for the year, so ensure your skin is protected with your fave SPF, and no, the SPF in your makeup won’t cut it. For your body, we’re big fans of Australian Gold Botanical Mineral Sunscreen Lotion. To protect your face, try out COSRX Daily SPF 50 Vitamin E Vitalizing Sunscreen and save your scalp with Coola’s Scalp & Hair Sunscreen & Color Protection Mist with SPF 30. If you insist on tanning, at least give your skin a little barrier from the sun with Vacation’s Baby Oil SPF 30.

As soon as we swap our sandals and summer dresses for cozy sweaters, we start getting in the mood to watch Hocus Pocus. The original 1993 film is full of nostalgia, laughs, and impeccable New England fall foliage. After 2022's sequel broke records across the board, we learned that Hocus Pocus 3 in the series is officially in the works. Start planning your group Halloween costume — the holiday's come early!

Will there be a Hocus Pocus 3?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

Yes, Hocus Pocus 3 is in development! In a recent interview with The New York Times, Walt Disney Pictures president Sean Bailey confirmed the three-quel is in development.

When will Hocus Pocus 3 come out?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

We don't have an official release date for Hocus Pocus 3 yet, and Bette Midler recently revealed she hasn't actually seen a script yet. “I haven’t seen the script, but I’ve heard rumblings,” she said. “I think if they’re gonna, they oughta, because time is not just marching, time is barrel-assing to the finish line. Get us while we’re still breathing, I mean, God!”

Where is Hocus Pocus 3 being filmed?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

Hocus Pocus and its sequel were filmed in Salem, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, respectively, so we're expecting Hocus Pocus 3 to be filmed in New England as well!

Who's returning for Hocus Pocus 3?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

We don't have official cast news yet, but we're hoping Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy return as the Sanderson Sisters. "I'd love to have a franchise — especially a character I love playing," Bette tells EW. "If there was a third one, of course I'd sign on, but I don't know how. I can't imagine what the story would be, but I love Winifred, Sarah, Mary, and our relationship. It's good for women."

While we haven't gotten a cast list yet, we do know who's hoping to join the third film: drag star Symone (winner of RuPaul's Drag Race season 13). "I know they're doing [Hocus Pocus] 3, if they want to get my number, my phone box is open," she says in an interview with EW. "I would love to be a witch of some kind...I might be a villain, come into my own little power, have my own little coven. I would love that. Can't you see it?"

Will Thora Birch be in Hocus Pocus 3?

Walt Disney Pictures/Buena Vista Pictures/IMDb

At the NYC premiere of Hocus Pocus 2, screenwriter Jen D’Angelo said she hopes we'll see Max (Omri Katz) and Allison (Vinessa) from the original film again. However, so far, there's no word on whether Thora Birch, Vinessa, or Omri will return.

“We tried so hard to get the original cast back for cameos and then it just kept not working out for one reason or the other,” D’Angelo said, via Variety. “But I’m hoping in Hocus Pocus 3, we’ll see Max and Alison living in California.” We hope so too!

Where can I watch the movie?

Disney+

You can watch both Hocus Pocusand Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+, so it's safe to assume the new film will hit the streaming platform as well.

Was the first Hocus Pocus a flop?

Buena Vista Pictures/Walt Disney Studios

The original Hocus Pocus grossed $8.1 million after its July release, and dropped out of the top ten two weeks later. And since then, it has become a cult classic and fan favorite!

Are the Sanderson sisters real?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

While the Sanderson sisters are fictional, they were inspired by three sisters who were accused of witchcraft in Salem: Rebecca Towne Nurse, Mary Towne Easty, and Sarah Towne Cloyce.

Who are the 3 sisters in Hocus Pocus?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy), and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) Sanderson are the three witchy sisters who want to stay young forever by feeding off the children of Salem.

Is there a 4th Sanderson sister?

Matt Kennedy/Disney

Yes, there's a fourth Sanderson sister in the Hocus Pocus and the All-New Sequel book. In the story, new girl in town Isabella (who also happens to be who Max and Allison's daughter Poppy is crushing on) is a descendant of secret Sanderson sister Elizabeth!

Let us know what you think about Hocus Pocus 3 on Twitter and follow us on Facebook for more breaking movie news!

There are two products I cannot believe I survived high school without: micellar water and dry shampoo. Having thin hair means it gets greasy quick. Raking it into a ponytail, wearing hats, and even playing with my hair turns any Rachel Green volume I have into a flat mess. Texturizing sprays can offer the most lifeless hair extra volume, but volume in and of itself won't do much if your hair is all greasy! These are the best dry shampoos to eliminate oil, while still giving your hair some oomph. Plus, some FAQ's about how dry shampoo can make your hair look brand new.

Is dry shampoo good for your hair?

NordWood Themes/Unsplash

Dry shampoo is great when used every once in awhile, but it shouldn't be a replacement for washing your hair with shampoo and water. WebMD points out that even the best dry shampoo is more like a hair freshener than something that actually cleans your scalp.

Plus, since dry shampoo doesn't moisturize your strands, it can actually lead to dryness when used too much.

When should you use dry shampoo?

Karolina Kaboompics/Pexels

Dry shampoo is perfect for days your hair doesn't feel ready for a full wash, but it's still looking a little greasy. I usually use it on day two or three hair. Spray it right on your roots to soak up oil, but also add a little into the ends for just a little bit of texture.

How long can I leave dry shampoo in my hair?

Medhanshi Mandawewala/Dupe

Experts agree that most people should wash their hair every few days. That means your dry shampoo can stay in your hair for a few days, no problem!

Living proof Dry Shampoo

Amazon

This Living Proof dry shampoo doesn't just suck up grease — it eliminates odor too! Just spray, wait 30 seconds, and shake your hair out.

Eva NYC Freshen Up Invisible Dry Shampoo

Target

You might recognize this brand from their viral glitter spray, but you definitely need to give this product a try, too. The rice starch and argan oil work together to refresh and moisturize every strand of hair.

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo Dark Tones

Sephora

One pitfall of dry shampoo is the white residue that can dull your roots. That's why this pick from Moroccanoil is perfect for dark hair girlies! It'll leave your hair feel silky smooth without any chalkiness.

Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Original Dry Shampoo

Target

This dry shampoo is my personal favorite — I love the weightless feeling, and the bright, fresh smell. Just remember to hold the bottle about eight inches away from your hair!

Amika Talc-Free Dry Shampoo

Amazon

While this talc-free, vegan, and cruelty-free product adds life back into your roots, it also cools your scalp, which will leave you feeling totally refreshed.

daeFairy Duster Volumizing Dry Shampoo Powder

Sephora

Throw this tiny bottle in your purse for last-minute touchups on the go. It's a non-aerosol powder instead of a spray and despite its size, it'll last you 600 pumps. (Yeah, you read that right).

VegamourMini GRO Dry Shampoo for Thinning Hair

Sephora

Another mini bottle that packs a punch, this plant-based dry shampoo works with thinning hair by penetrating your scalp to support hair density AND increase your hair follicles. Yes, please!

Batiste Dry Shampoo Original

Amazon

This classic dry shampoo offers a citrusy fragrance while the waterless formula gives hair volume and texture. The hints of rose, lily, lavender, and powdery musk are just the cherry on top!

Dove Dry Shampoo

Amazon

I'm someone who almost always chooses the most cost effective option (like value packs and value sizes). So this 2-pack totally caught my eye! The weightless formula will leave you feeling brand new for under $2 an ounce.

Kristin Ess Style Reviving Dry Shampoo

Target

Not only does this product absorb oil and revive your hairstyle, but it also offers a dose of Vitamin C, which can help stimulate collagen production.

Prêt-à-powder Très Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo

Bumble & Bumble

Extend the life of your blowout or your loose curls with this dry shampoo. It's packed with UV-fighting ingredients and just a touch of fresh clementine, wild hyacinth, and sandalwood fragrance.

I'm always keeping an eye out for any and every kind of update from the Bridgerton cast. From adorable red carpet reunions to the stars who are actually dating IRL, this is one cast that truly loves each other. And that love makes their onscreen interactions even better! While Bridgerton season 3 ended in June, and we probably won't see season 4 until 2026, we did just get a Bridgerton cast reunion that will totally hold us all over until we finally get new episodes.

Nicola Coughlan (who plays Penelope Featherington — er, Bridgerton — on the show) and Hannah Dodd (Francesca Bridgerton) reunited to sit front row at Gucci's Milan Fashion Week show on September 20. "Thank you @sabatods for a beautiful show and a class party after," Nicola said on Instagram, while Hannah added, "@sabatods you are magic. 💛 u @gucci - thank you for a gorgeous trip x."

The two actresses sat beside Daisy Edgar-Jones and Dakota Johnson, and looked stunning in complementary outfits that were totally giving Mary Kate and Ashley.

Hannah rocked a white button down and jeans with pointed-toe heels and a camel-colored bag, while Nicola paired the dreamiest capelet and white button down dress with bejeweled heels. And TBH, this duo has me dreaming about what Bridgerton would look like in 2024!

Netflix

Now that the Ton knows Penelope is Lady Whistledown, she's going to have all kinds of celebrity that would totally score her a front row ticket to fashion week in the present day. And as a former wallflower, I think Penelope sees and understands shy Francesca in a really special way.

Ahead of Bridgerton season 3, Nicola told Brit + Co that she loved seeing Penelope "finding her self-worth — that side of her I really loved getting to play." Hannah also admitted she feels a similar shyness to Francesca amid the buzz of joining the global phenomenon.

"I'm so excited to see what the writers come up with," she saidof Bridgerton's (and Francesca's) future. "I just hope she steps into herself a little bit more and kind of goes after things that make her happy, and knows that she's deserving of that. But I'm new here. So, like anything they give me, I'm gonna be happy with."

I can't wait to see how these characters continue to grow and evolve, and I hope we get another Bridgerton reunion soon!
