Protect your skin with these top Canadian sunscreens
Canada may not be known for its year-round sunny weather, but that shouldn't stop you from wearing SPF. It's a good habit to wear sunscreen anytime you head outdoors for more than 30 minutes at a time – regardless of the season. In case you're feeling patriotic and looking to support a local business with your skincare choices, there are several Canadian sunscreen brands to choose from that offer protection against the sun. Many offer mineral sunscreens, which block the sun's rays using a physical barrier of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide rather than a chemical barrier found in non-mineral sunscreens. The choice between mineral and chemical sunscreens is a personal one that can be based on individual preferences for sunscreen formulas and sensitivities to certain ingredients. Whether you're after an SPF that plays well with makeup, is easy to apply or is eco-friendly, find our top picks below. Discover the best of B.C.'s recipes, restaurants and wine.

Drag Race bosses tease Broadway show and feature film
producers have delighted fans by confirming that both a Broadway production inspired by the show and a feature length film are both on the horizon. In a new interview with , the show's co-executive producers and World of Wonder co-founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey spoke about what's around the corner for the sprawling franchise which has spawned spin-offs around the world. In particular, the producers were asked about rumours of a Broadway production and what that might look like. ' just celebrated its 1,000th show [in Vegas], and we are taking that and developing it for stage, ideally Broadway and London. We were thinking about starting in the West End, but fuck it, let's just go to Broadway,' Barbato revealed. The live residency, which has been operating for the past five years, celebrated its 1,000th show in March when viewers were treated to a performance from the show's current cast which includes Asia O'Hara, Ginger Minj, Jaida Essence Hall, Kylie Sonique Love, Morphine Love Dion, and Plane Jane. As well as live productions, Fenton also confirmed that a movie inspired by the show is in the works. 'I guess it's no secret, there's an untitled Drag Race movie coming! It's shooting in Los Angeles; we're keeping it local,' the producer said. It's unclear at this point if the 'movie' that's being shot will be in the form of a documentary or a fictionalised tale based on the franchise. Season 17 of the US version of the show recently wrapped with a special guest appearance from Liza Minnelli. Both producers were effusive in their praise for working with Minnelli, with Barbato saying: 'When you think of who the perfect exclamation mark at the end of a phenomenal season would be, it would be Liza Minnelli and boy, did she deliver. 'It was special because her brother Joey Luft and Michael Feinstein were there; it felt like a family affair. And I felt like she understands the community and the importance of showing up right now. It was meaningful and fun,' he went on to say. The post Drag Race bosses tease Broadway show and feature film appeared first on Attitude.

Natural deodorants to keep you feeling fresh all day
Article content Why buy: Canadian home and personal care brand Attitude is quickly becoming our go-to for all things bath, body, sun care and cleaning products. It's plastic-free packaging offers an eco-friendly alternative to standard deodorant, and its baking soda and aluminum-free formula is gentle on skin. For extra-sensitive skin, look to the brand's Sensitive Natural Baking Soda-Free Deodorant. Article content Article content Why buy: Also a Canadian brand, Kaia Naturals' aluminum-free deodorant uses activated charcoal to neutralize odours and draw out impurities and aloe vera to calm and soothe skin. The deodorant comes in six essential oil scents, and is most effective when paired with the brand's Underarm Bar, an underarm bar soap that helps eliminate odour-causing bacteria. Article content Article content Why buy: For the natural deodorant-curious, this is an excellent gateway option. It looks and even smells like its traditional counterpart, but contains zero aluminum. What it does contain is glycerin, a natural humectant. If you've tried other natural deodorants in the past and found them irritating or leaving you itchy, this is nicely moisturizing. Our runner-up in this category is the Secret Aluminum Free Deodorant, which comes in under $10, too. Article content Why buy: You're buying deodorant to smell good, so your deodorant should smell really good. Native's fragrances have won the brand a diehard fan base. It regularly releases limited edition fragrances to keep this mundane task fun. But the classic scents, like Coconut & Vanilla, Lavender & Rose and Eucalyptus & Mint have regulars coming back again and again. The formula also includes moisturizing coconut oil and shea butter, which keep the delicate underarm area comfortable. Article content Article content Why buy: If you prefer products that do their job effectively without the need for strong scents, this Kosas deodorant is the way to go. It has an innovative serum-like texture that contains a smoothing blend of AHAs to exfoliate and brighten the look of underarms while banishing odour. It's a roll-on formula that glides smoothly onto skin, leaving behind clear protection that lasts. Article content Why buy: 'Pong' is Australian slang for b.o. No Pong was developed by an Aussie and a Canadian and is made in Canada. The brand has a nice variety of scents, but the original — a gender-neutral blend of citrus and light vanilla — is the most popular. But what makes No Pong stand apart from other natural deodorants is that it's a cream. It comes in a discreet round tin and you only need the tiniest pea-size amount. It might feel weird at first rubbing your armpits, but like most other things from baking to applying makeup, your own hands are the best accessories.

Alex Scott stuns in bold outfit at Soccer Aid but fans spot surprising detail on her dress
ALEX SCOTT's gowning glory at Soccer Aid had a special extra touch. And the dazzling detail didn't escape those fans who regularly pay close attention to the presenter. 16 Alex Scott's amazing dress as she presented Soccer Aid was even more distinctive than it might at first have looked, but not so much from this view...

The Football Focus broadcaster chose a purple, latex-style dress, slit to the thigh, as England took on a World XI. "Soccer Aid" and "2" were subtly inscribed on the front. But it was what was emblazoned on the back in far larger type that sparked a different line of thought from other admirers. "SCOTT" was printed right across the rear. One fan responded online: "Alex Scott, Na there is no need to have your name on the back of your dress" - followed by laughing emojis. Most viewers, however, focused on her outfit - reckoning that, fashion wise, despite her "2" she was the clear No. 1. "Alex Scott looks stunning," wrote one. 16 The presenter had a 'flash back' in the changing room BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Another fan, who was in the Old Trafford stands, posted a clip of the ex-Lioness running past with her microphone raised high.
