Lee Pace Has Big Hopes for the Fourth Season of ‘Foundation’
You haven’t seen the last episode, have you?
No.
I didn’t give anything away just now, did I?
No, no, you were tending in the directions I think had been set up. I’m even more eager to see it now. I do have an acting question: How do you and your fellow actors play the same person who is not the same person?
In the very first season, we created this idea that they sit around dinner and they have the same movements—that that’s a cultural thing among these three people. We had these technical ways of making their shared consciousness visual and actable in. We just practiced it. We came up with this little dance that we would do with those dinner table scenes. In the second season, we did something different with it. We created this idea of one who’s not going to follow the rules, who’s just going to do it differently, whether the other brothers like it or not.
Oh, interesting.
I love working with Terry [Mann, who plays Brother Dusk] and Cassian [Bilton, who plays Brother Dawn] and Laura. It’s such a unique concept that [writer and producer David S. Goyer] had with these cloned emperors that are all living together as family, and there are lots of different ways to look at it. I think it’s a completely original idea, and in line with the questions that Asimov asks in Foundation and his other work.
I completely agree that it’s a genuinely original idea. There’s always a new way to play basic blues, but this is a really new idea that I can’t think of an antecedent for. Maybe there is one.
It’s about time, too. It’s about time. You can do this thing with time and generations, and that’s what I feel like now we’ve done in season three. We’ve now covered 300 years, and we look back even further.
Much like Asimov did.
He worked on this story over so many different decades, writing the Foundation books, writing them with collaborators and finding ways to tie in other short stories and storylines that he had written in other books and series, and expanding this world of Foundation.
Yes, but I would also imagine that much source material can be overwhelming.
I really love how on this show we have not treated the making of the series like fan fiction, where we would be like, OK, now we do the scene where this happens and now we do the scene where this happens and this happens and this happens. But we let the hugeness of the story that Isaac Asimov left us be on the table, and we can explore the plotlines that he wrote, plotlines that are referred to, plotlines that happen offstage, the plotlines that he discovered later in writing and realizing about the story.
Right, it stays true to the shape of Asimov’s ideas without being beholden to them.
As a science fiction fan myself, I feel like that’s like a good opportunity taken when we could bring it to screen, to use and be inspired by everything we have in front of us with what he has achieved in writing Foundation and then tying in all of these other different stories and plotlines that he had created throughout. I mean, he’s just an incredibly prolific writer.

Osmani lights up Semi-Final: ‘He made it rain’
The official EuroBasket app
Download Now
RIGA (Latvia) – Ercan Osmani picked the perfect opportunity to have the game of his life. The center came into the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Semi-Finals ready to perform and he did exactly that with a record-setting 28 points in Türkiye’s 94-68 win over Greece.
Osmani set a new mark for the most points by any Turkish player in a EuroBasket knockout game in helping Türkiye reach the EuroBasket Final and a date with Germany.
And his 6 three-pointers tied the record in a EuroBasket Semi-Final over the last 30 years – the others being Serbia’s Milos Teodosic in 2009 and Alexey Shved in 2017 for Russia.
“I am very happy that I contributed very well for this team,” said Osmani, who added 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. His 28 points were also a personal best in a Türkiye jersey.
Despite Osmani shooting 50 percent from long range on 3.1 attempts coming into the game, Greece’s defense decided to give him space on the perimeter.
The 27-year-old set the tone early on with 11 points in the first 5 minutes while hitting all three of his three-point attempts.
“He made it rain. I am really happy for him because he is working hard. We believe in him. That is what we were expecting from him,” Furkan Korkmaz said about Osmani.
Shane Larkin has been played with Osmani for two seasons at Anadolu Efes Istanbul, so he was not surprised with the big man’s performance.
“Ercan is an unbelievable player. He’s been on my team for a few years at Efes, and I have been saying for many years that he has a lot of quality. For him to be able to put on a performance like that on the world stage in front of all the media and everything I am extremely happy for him,” Larkin said.
Head coach Ergin Ataman praised both ends of Osmani’s play.
“Ercan found his open space and he made his first shot and that gave him confidence. That opened the court,” he said of the game’s TCL Player of the Game.
“Osmani played great defense about Giannis,” said Ataman, who joked that maybe NBA teams will come looking to sign Osmani to stop Antetokounmpo.
His previous high was 17 points against Hungary in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers in November 2024. And he had reached that already by halftime with 18 points through 20 minutes.
Osmani has been playing his best basketball for his country in Riga.
He averaged 9.8 points and 5.0 rebounds in six games of the Qualifiers. And, he has now collected 12.6 points and 5.4 rebounds this summer, including 16 points against Czechia and a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds in a win over Estonia.
What does Osmani have in store for the Final?

Senator Calls for RFK. Jr. to Back Whooping Cough Vaccines
Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy called on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to urge vaccination against whooping cough, as a nationwide outbreak is on track to hit a record.
The leader of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions sent a letter to Kennedy on Friday asking him to make a public statement about the vaccine’s ability to protect children from the bacterial infection. Kennedy has cast doubt on the safety and effectiveness of some vaccines and previously linked immunizations to autism.

Paramount Condemns Israeli Film Boycott After 3,900 Sign Pledge
After more than 3,900 industry figures signed a pledge not to work with Israeli film institutions, Paramount released a statement condemning the widespread boycott.
“At Paramount, we believe in the power of storytelling to connect and inspire people, promote mutual understanding, and preserve the moments, ideas, and events that shape the world we share. This is our creative mission,” reads a statement provided by Paramount chief communications officer Melissa Zukerman.
“We do not agree with recent efforts to boycott Israeli filmmakers. Silencing individual creative artists based on their nationality does not promote better understanding or advance the cause of peace,” the statement continued. “The global entertainment industry should be encouraging artists to tell their stories and share their ideas with audiences throughout the world. We need more engagement and communication — not less.”
Paramount is the first major studio to speak out on this issue.
The pledge, published on Monday by the organization Film Workers for Palestine, saw more than 3,900 industry figures — including Oscar, BAFTA, Emmy and Palme d’Or winners — declare that they will refuse to work with Israeli institutions and companies that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.” The pledge statement states that examples of complicity include “whitewashing or justifying genocide and apartheid, and/or partnering with the government committing them.”
The original list of 1,200 signatories included filmmakers such as Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Asif Kapadia, Emma Seligman, Boots Riley, Adam McKay and Joshua Oppenheimer, as well as actors including Olivia Colman, Ayo Edebiri, Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, Tilda Swinton, Javier Bardem, Lily Gladstone, Hannah Einbinder, Gael Garcia Bernal, Melissa Barrera and Emma Stone.
By Wednesday, the letter had surpassed 3,900 signees: Nicola Coughlan, Andrew Garfield, Harris Dickinson, Bowen Yang, Guy Pearce, Jonathan Glazer, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Fisher Stevens, Abbi Jacobson, Eric Andre, Elliot Page, Payal Kapadia and Emma D’Arcy were among those who added their names, as were Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara, who recently signed on as executive producers of the Venice-prizewinning Gaza drama “The Voice of Hind Rajab.” The couple walked the red carpet at the film’s festival premiere while sporting badges in support of Palestine.

India lead 2-0 vs Switzerland with Sumit Nagal, Dhakshineswar Suresh
The Indian tennis team enjoyed a solid start to their Davis Cup 2025 World Group I tie against ninth-seeded Switzerland after Dhakshineswar Suresh and Sumit Nagal won their respective singles rubbers at the Swiss Tennis Arena in Biel on Friday.
Dhakshineswar Suresh pulled off an upset by beating Jerome Kym 7(7)-6(4), 6-3 in the opening singles, while two-time Olympian Sumit Nagal defeated Marc-Andrea Huesler 6-3, 7(7)-6(4) in the second.
Pitted against world No. 155 Jerome Kym in the first match, Dhakshineswar Suresh, 626th in the ATP tennis rankings, saved three break points in the fourth game and never dropped serve, holding firm to pocket the first set in the tie-break.
The Indian tennis player saved a couple of break points each in the fifth and seventh games of the second set as well before Jerome Kym lost his serve in the eighth, paving the way for a stunning straight-set win for Dhakshineswar Suresh.
The second match of the tie saw Sumit Nagal break Marc-Andrea Huesler in the first game before saving break points in the fifth and seventh. He then broke Huesler again in the ninth game to close out the first set.
The second set stayed on serve throughout, leading to a tie-break that Nagal won 7-4.
With two wins on the opening day, India, 37th in the Davis Cup team rankings, require just one more victory to win their World Group I tie against world No. 24 Switzerland.
Action on Day 2 is scheduled to begin with N Sriram Balaji and Rithvik Bollipalli facing Jakub Paul and Henry Bernet in the doubles match.
Sumit Nagal is set to face Jerome Kym and Dhakshineswar Suresh takes on Marc-Andrea Huesler in the reverse singles rubbers.
The winner of the India vs Switzerland tie will advance to the 2026 Qualifiers 1st Round, while the losing nation will be relegated to the 2026 World Group I play-offs.
Since the Davis Cup format was revamped in 2019, India have not won their World Group I ties to enter the Qualifiers. The Indian tennis team has finished runners-up on three occasions in 1966, 1974 and 1987.

Record Number of Drivers Led the Pack in Exciting Season
Even as Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou dominated the recently completed NTT INDYCAR SERIES season, competitors throughout the field helped produce a record-setting environment.
Thirty drivers led a race this season, the most in the sport’s history and a 10 percent increase over last year. The category’s top four drivers were represented by four different teams.
Yes, Palou led 14 of the 17 races and 778 laps in all, but 21 of the 27 full-season drivers led multiple races. Nine set personal bests related to pacing the field.
Palou’s season totals were the highest of his career. En route to clinching the series championship earlier than any driver since 2007, Palou led 119 laps more than when he clinched the 2023 title at the penultimate race.
Career bests could be found throughout the field. Devlin DeFrancesco of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing (photo, above) and Chip Ganassi Racing’s Kyffin Simpson led enough laps this year to double their career totals. David Malukas of AJ Foyt Racing more than tripled his career total.
Ed Carpenter Racing’s Christian Rasmussen led his first laps in this series, putting his career total at 46 laps led. Rookies Louis Foster of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing and Robert Shwartzman of PREMA Racing – pole winners each – also led laps in the series for the first time.
Andretti Global’s Kyle Kirkwood led 114 laps, seven laps shy of his best season (121 laps in 2024). Juncos Hollinger Racing’s Conor Daly (photo, above) led 51 laps, nearly matching his best season (56 in 2016). Arrow McLaren’s Christian Lundgaard led 53 laps for the second year in a row.
Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon continues to be second in INDYCAR SERIES history in laps led, but he moved closer to Mario Andretti’s record of 7,595 laps. Dixon’s 91 laps this season pushed his career total to 6,923. Michael Andretti and Helio Castroneves are the only other drivers to have led at least 6,000 series laps in a career. Among active drivers, seventh-place Will Power has now led 5,471 laps while former Team Penske teammate Josef Newgarden moved past Paul Tracy for 10th place. Newgarden’s career total is 4,513, leaving him 66 laps shy of what Dario Franchitti earned.
Not surprisingly, oval tracks featured the highest number of lap leaders, with three tracks setting series records (World Wide Technology Raceway, Road America and Nashville Superspeedway).
Fourteen drivers led the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 presented by Axalta and Valvoline at WWTR, the same number that paced the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Twelve drivers led the season-ending Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix presented by WillScot. The Indy total was the third-most in the history of the iconic event.
The Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix presented by Lear led street-circuit events with 10 leaders. Road America was tops among road courses with eight leaders. The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg had seven leaders, one shy of the event’s all-time high, while the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach’s nine leaders were its most in 13 years.
Palou’s 14 races led was nearly twice the total of the next-highest driver. Arrow McLaren’s Pato O’Ward led eight races, Dixon and Marcus Armstrong of Meyer Shank Racing w/ Curb-Agajanian (photo, above) led seven each. Newgarden, Kirkwood and Team Penske’s Scott McLaughlin each led six races.
Among the drivers who only competed in the “500,” Takuma Sato of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing was tops with 51 laps led, a total tying Daly for 11th-most during the season. Ryan Hunter-Reay, who drove for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing at Indy, was one position behind them with 48 laps led.

King Princess is having a big year. And she’s not done yet : NPR
ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:
A year ago, I might have described King Princess as a hugely popular singer-songwriter. But now she’s become a lot more. In May, she made her TV debut playing an emotionally blocked piano prodigy on Season 2 of “Nine Perfect Strangers.”
(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, “NINE PERFECT STRANGERS”)
MAISIE RICHARDSON-SELLERS: (As Wolfie) I was worried about you.
KING PRINCESS: (As Tina) Yeah, I was having a nightmare. I was having a very on-the-nose nightmare.
SHAPIRO: She’s about to play Hugh Jackman’s daughter in a movie called “Song Sung Blue.” They did this duet at Radio City Music Hall a few months ago.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
HUGH JACKMAN: Come on, KP.
HUGH JACKMAN AND KING PRINCESS: (Singing) Babe, I got you, babe.
SHAPIRO: And now King Princess is out with a new solo album called “Girl Violence.” The New Yorker called it, quote, “her best yet, which cements her status not only as a virtuosic provocateur, but as a generational talent.” Which generation? She’s 26. Here’s the lead single “RIP KP.”
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “RIP KP”)
KING PRINCESS: (Singing) If you want it on the floor, you can have it like that. Up against the door, you can have it like that. If you get a little bored, I can change it like…
SHAPIRO: King Princess is the stage name of Mikaela Straus, who is with us now. Welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.
MIKAELA STRAUS: What a beautiful intro (laughter).
SHAPIRO: Thank you. Well, you’ve had quite a year. It’s not over yet. At this moment, when you look back on the mountains you’ve climbed, how are you feeling?
STRAUS: I’m feeling good. This has been such an amazing and bizarre year. I spent six months in Germany filming that show. I made the record kind of before and after that experience. And I signed to an indie label, Section1 and Partisan.
SHAPIRO: Yeah.
STRAUS: So I feel like there’s just been a lot of movement and change but all good stuff.
SHAPIRO: Well, there’s been a ton of movement beyond what you just mentioned. I mean, good stuff, but also, like, you relocated from LA to New York. You ended a four-year relationship with the woman you had been with. You, as you say, left your record label and resigned. How did all of that dramatic change shape the music that’s on this album?
STRAUS: For me, I think my last record was written in this state of, like, immobility and sadness. And I kind of – you know, I’ve become a bit of, like, a ho for sadness.
SHAPIRO: (Laughter).
STRAUS: And I think…
SHAPIRO: It can be addictive.
STRAUS: It’s – well, especially as queer people, I feel like we’re obsessed with being miserable. So I kind of had this internal monologue going the whole time of, like, my therapist being like, do you want to stay sad, or do you want to do something about it? And I started to kind of, piece by piece, dislodge these points of sadness, these thorns, you know, and just started to pull them out.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “ORIGIN”)
KING PRINCESS: (Singing) And in the weeds, you reach for me. And in the weeds, I’ve found my peace
SHAPIRO: I think about the track “Origin,” where you say, it’s been a little rough for a minute. I’ve had to face fire, fight fear and spend a lot of time in the mirror. And then you eventually get to, I’m starting to feel myself again. Like, take us…
STRAUS: Yeah.
SHAPIRO: …To that moment. Where did that come from? What was that about?
STRAUS: Well, that song was interesting because I wanted to start kind of the first chapter of the record with this idea that, like – the feeling of walking to the studio, right? Like, I’m walking from my house to my dad’s house, listening to the symphony of New York and thinking about what I want to write this record about. And that song, to me, feels like that process, you know, with headphones on, walking down the street, like, what am I going to write about today?
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “ORIGIN”)
KING PRINCESS: (Singing) And I’m cool, I’m weirder. Yeah, I’m hot, I’m deeper. I’m starting to feel myself again, now I’m a sleeper.
SHAPIRO: Yeah.
STRAUS: You know, how am I going to elevate the emotional call here?
SHAPIRO: Yeah.
STRAUS: And that song feels like a declaration of where I’m at, where I want to be, and what I hope this record will give me by writing it.
SHAPIRO: Yeah. Walking to your dad’s place, as you say – you recorded this album at the studio that your dad has run in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, since the ’90s.
STRAUS: Yeah.
SHAPIRO: Where do you think that DNA comes through here?
STRAUS: Making a record at that studio feels like the ultimate homecoming because that studio is my DNA. You know, the equipment in that studio is – were my toys as a child.
SHAPIRO: Yeah.
STRAUS: So I really – I don’t know. I get a little woo-woo about equipment and studios and rooms and the way they sound. And one of the things I love about that studio is that it feels really alive. It feels like a person. It feels personified. She’s an important character in the record, I think.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “SERENA”)
KING PRINCESS: (Singing) If I could make it easy for you, if I could make it easy, I would. If I could make you feel that you’re good.
SHAPIRO: OK, well, if you want to get woo-woo, I’m thinking about, like, the hero’s quest, where you go far afield and then you finally come home and you, like, reclaim the thing that is your inheritance, your family legacy. I mean, it almost feels mythic.
STRAUS: Well, thank you, because I am obsessed with Gilgameshian (ph) journeys.
SHAPIRO: (Laughter).
STRAUS: I’m, like, really on my Gilgamesh [expletive] right now.
SHAPIRO: Cool.
STRAUS: Like, I – there was, like, a period of a week while I was making the record where I watched, in one week, “The Revenant,” and then “Children Of Men”…
SHAPIRO: (Laughter).
STRAUS: …And then “The Road.” And I was like, oh…
SHAPIRO: You’ve got a slightly lower body count than some of those. I mean, I assume. I don’t know.
STRAUS: I was like – I kind of was like, am I – I feel like that man. I feel like that man trying to get from point A to point B, except instead of being that man and my obstacle being actual travel, it’s emotional travel through being a lesbian. Like, I was like, if that protagonist was a lesbian having to conquer the evilness of women, that’s me.
SHAPIRO: OK, so take us to the spot on the album where it’s like the triumphant homecoming. Like, you are back in your father’s studio, the site of your childhood experiences, and now you’re in control of all the machines in it.
STRAUS: I think the song “Jaime” would be one of the songs I would say is the most triumphant.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “JAIME”)
KING PRINCESS: (Singing) Jaime, the clothes that you gave me don’t fit me. But you squeeze until I could crack, uh-huh, and I took it all on the back, uh-huh.
SHAPIRO: You talking about this kind of triumphant return reminds me of something you told The New York Times five years ago. They wrote, if King Princess becomes a superstar, it will be because Mikaela Straus willed it. And then you’re quoted as saying, it’s going to be an I-told-you-so moment. I’m going to be like, what were you all waiting for?
So is this that moment when you get to say, I told you so?
STRAUS: No, we’re not there yet.
(LAUGHTER)
STRAUS: We’re not there yet. It will be. It will be an I-told-you-so moment, but I would be lying if I said it was right now. I think that this is a…
SHAPIRO: And so what’s in your sights? Like, what’s the…
STRAUS: I think that this record is the closest I felt to the way I felt making the EP in my, you know, like, leaving my…
SHAPIRO: You mean your very first breakout…
STRAUS: Yeah.
SHAPIRO: …Hit, “1950.”
STRAUS: Yeah. Yeah, and all those songs on “Make My Bed,” I feel like I wrote those songs because I needed to write those songs, right? Like, I was in my dorm room. I was heartbroken. I was going from school to the studio, and it was like therapy. This record feels the closest to that that I’ve had in a extremely long time, and I think that that’s a really good sign.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “CRY CRY CRY”)
KING PRINCESS: (Singing) Ooh, you’re going to cry, cry, cry when you hear this.
SHAPIRO: Mikaela Straus, who performs as King Princess – her new album is “Girl Violence.” Thank you so much.
STRAUS: Thank you.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, “CRY CRY CRY”)
KING PRINCESS: (Singing) You’re going to cry, cry, cry when you hear this.

Indoor environmental changes can significantly improve sleep for dementia patients, study finds
Credit: Getty Images
Changing indoor environments, such as using brighter indoor light during the day or cooler bedroom temperatures at night, can significantly improve sleep in people living with dementia, according to a September study conducted by the University of Surrey published in Sleep.
“We have analysed millions of hours of data, which has allowed us to see how temperature and light patterns inside the home can impact sleep for people living with dementia,” said Anne Skeldon, head of the School of Mathematics at the University of Surrey and co-author of the study. “Unlike short-term studies or carer reports, our approach captures long-term patterns in real homes, offering new insights into sleep disruption and how sleep disruption could be reduced.”
Sleep difficulty is a common condition reported with dementia. Researchers analyzed 26,523 days of data from 70 people living with dementia who were living in their own homes using contactless, under-the-mattress bed sensors to collect information. The study was funded by the UK Dementia Research Institute, through the Care Research & Technology Centre, and researchers worked in collaboration with Imperial College London, Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
Accounting for seasonal changes, when nights in the bedroom were hotter than usual, people living with dementia had more disrupted sleep and higher breathing rates. By contrast, on days when indoor lights were brighter than usual, people had longer, less fragmented sleep and lower breathing rates. Additionally, effects of temperature and light varied widely between individuals suggesting that some people are more sensitive to seasonal and environmental changes than others.

Stay Sun-Safe With EltaMD’s Bestselling Sunscreen Line
Here’s the thing: You might be tempted to put that bottle of SPF away after Labor Day, as you do for your white jeans, say, but it not being 80 degrees outside anymore doesn’t make those UV rays any less powerful. That said, fall provides the ideal opportunity for refreshing your sunscreen collection and restocking the sun products you’ve used to the last drop. For our beauty shopping editors, it’s consistently been the award-winning lineup from EltaMD, which prides itself on being the number-one derm-recommended sunscreen brand.
By far the most popular EltaMD SPF selection is its UV Daily Tinted Face Sunscreen, which is the epitome of a multihyphenate: able to act like a subtle concealer while being friendly to breakout-prone skin and blocking damaging sun rays thanks to zinc oxide, a mineral compound. The sunscreen comes in two shade options at Amazon (for fair-to-medium or deeper skin tones) and avoids all the typical, less-than-ideal attributes of comparable beauty buys. This means it doesn’t feel weighty on skin, doesn’t leave a white cast, is non-comedogenic, and gets extra brownie points by reducing signs of aging based on the powers of hyaluronic acid. If you’re tempted to ask “what can’t it do?” know that we feel the same way.
When WWD’s contributing beauty editor, Claire Sullivan, first tested out EltaMD’s tinted top hit, she was impressed right off the bat. “Nearly every dermatologist I’ve interviewed during my six-plus years as a beauty editor has recommended this sunscreen, and I love it, too. It delivers bulletproof sun protection in an easy-to-wear formula. I struggle with rosacea on my cheeks, and this formula is one of the few face sunscreens that doesn’t exacerbate or irritate it with consistent wear,” Sullivan reports.
This means you no longer have to sacrifice protection from sunburns (or, worse, skin cancer) for the sake of keeping unwanted flare-ups at bay — EltaMD’s philosophy, after all, is rooted in holistic skin health. What’s more, Drew Barrymore has been a frequent user of the UV Daily Tinted Face Sunscreen since as far back as 2018, and she’s joined by Hailey Bieber, who is the ultimate tastemaker and trendsetter when it comes to recommending products that should be at the top of your online shopping cart.
If you’re impartial to tinted sunscreens, EltaMD comes in clutch with a clear version that has an even more extensive fan base of A-listers with picture-perfect skin. The brand’s UV Clear Face Sunscreen has received shoutouts from the likes of Sofia Richie, Brooke Shields, Kendall Jenner, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Harnessing the benefits of niacinamide, the top-seller protects from both UVA rays (responsible for visible aging) and UVB ones (those that actually cause burns). Fragrance-free, calming, and granting even more of a second-skin feel than its tinted alternative, the UV Clear Face Sunscreen is a no-brainer choice for putting on your bathroom counter, storing in your makeup bag, and applying liberally every day this season. Per EltaMD, you should be reapplying it at least every two hours for best results.
Still not inclined to snag it and put your skin first? Maybe the fact that the UV Clear Face Sunscreen won a spot on WWD’s Editor’s Choice SPF Awards for 2025 — no small honor — will help convince you.
“This Eltamd sunscreen is a foolproof option for my combination skin. It dries down to a demi-matte finish that blots away shine without causing dry patches,” Sullivan shares. “It feels like nothing on your skin — which is ultra-rare for a sunscreen — and it wears beautifully under makeup.”
And if it’s your eye area that you’re most concerned about, consider the EltaMD UV AOX Tinted Eye Sunscreen a godsend. The skin around the eyes is one of the most delicate regions of your complexion and needs to be treated accordingly. The brand’s eye-specific product packs a punch courtesy of antioxidants, fine line–erasing peptides, and Persian silk tree extract (the latter is both a preventative and curative measure against dark circles and puffiness). Because the eye sunscreen is also tinted, it helps with evening out skin tone and color-correcting.
Go ahead — step outside into the sunshine without fear of its effects on your face, under-eyes, and décolletage. EltaMD has you covered, at prices that are gentle on your wallet, too.
