Days of Our Lives actor Robert Kelker-Kelly dies at 62; cause of death not yet known

Days of Our Lives actor Robert Kelker-Kelly dies at 62; cause of death not yet known

admin 0 Comments

Robert Kelker-Kelly, best known for playing Bo Brady on the long-running soap opera Days of Our Lives, has died at the age of 62.

According to TMZ, the medical examiner in Missouri confirmed that Kelker-Kelly died on October 3. His cause of death has not yet been determined.

Robert Kelker-Kelly’s career in television

Kelker-Kelly began his acting career in 1987 when he joined the soap opera Another World as Sam Fowler.

In 1992, he landed one of his best-known roles when he took over the character of Bo Brady on Days of Our Lives from Peter Reckell.

During his run on the show, Kelker-Kelly appeared opposite Kristian Alfonso, who played Hope Brady, and Lisa Rinna, who portrayed Billie Reed. He remained with the series until 1995, when Reckell returned to the role.

Kelker-Kelly later joined General Hospital, where he played Stavros Cassadine. Away from acting, he also worked as a professional pilot.

Kelker-Kelly returned to headlines earlier this year after Lisa Rinna discussed their difficult working relationship in her memoir.

Rinna alleged that the actor had been verbally abusive and manipulative and accused him of playing mind games with her while they worked together on Days of Our Lives.

She also claimed that following Kelker-Kelly’s abrupt exit from the soap, NBC provided her and Kristian Alfonso with security for several weeks.

Kelker-Kelly did not publicly respond to Rinna’s allegations.

Details surrounding Kelker-Kelly’s death remain limited. The Missouri medical examiner confirmed his death on October 3, but a cause of death has not yet been disclosed.

Kelker-Kelly was 62.

Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari warns Mamata Banerjee ahead of Nandigram bypoll

Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari warns Mamata Banerjee ahead of Nandigram bypoll

admin 0 Comments

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday escalated the political row over Mamata Banerjee’s 2021 leg injury, warning the former chief minister that more medical documents could be disclosed if she or her legal team pursued the matter further.

According to The Indian Express, Adhikari’s remarks came shortly after Banerjee issued a legal notice to SSKM Hospital and the Bangur Institute of Neurosciences, demanding an explanation over the alleged unauthorised disclosure of her medical records related to the Nandigram incident.

Speaking to reporters, Adhikari appeared to caution Banerjee against pursuing the issue further, saying that he could make additional records, including X-ray plates and MRI reports, public if required.

“Do not poke around too much. If I start showing the X-ray plates and MRI reports, you will not be able to step out of your house,” he said.

Adhikari also claimed that the documents in his possession were not sourced from SSKM Hospital, while declining to immediately disclose how he obtained them.

“If necessary, I will say where I got the records from. The papers were not at SSKM. They were not supposed to be at SSKM,” he said, adding that Banerjee’s legal team should not “dig too deep” into the issue.

He further claimed that Banerjee had retained several documents in her office at Nabanna, saying she had expected to return as chief minister for a fourth term. Adhikari did not clarify whether the medical records he referred to had been obtained from Banerjee’s office or her residence.

The latest exchange follows Adhikari’s recent allegation that Banerjee had fabricated her leg injury during the 2021 West Bengal Assembly election campaign in Nandigram. It also comes a day ahead of the Nandigram bypoll—once a hotly contested seat between Adhikari and Banerjee which is going to the polls again after Adhikari vacated the seat to retain the Bhabanipur assembly constituency, defeating the TMC supremo in her home turf.

Though the Nandigram Assembly bypoll, scheduled for October 6, has 16 candidates in the fray, it is set to see a straight contest between BJP’s Hasirani Rath and Congress’ Milan Pradhan, who has been granted interim bail by the Calcutta High Court to fight the election.

The bypoll has also drawn attention after TMC’s initial nominee withdrew, with the party subsequently backing Pradhan, who was arrested on September 18 in connection with several criminal cases dating back to the 2007 Nandigram anti-land-acquisition movement.

According to The Indian Express, at a press conference a few days ago, Adhikari displayed a document that he identified as a March 11, 2021, report from the Department of Radio Diagnosis at the Bangur Institute of Neurosciences. According to Adhikari, the report did not indicate any fracture.

He had also announced that the state government would initiate a fresh inquiry into what he described as Banerjee’s “false claims” regarding the leg injury during the 2021 election campaign.

Banerjee’s legal team subsequently sought answers from the hospitals over the alleged disclosure of her medical information. The notice sought an explanation on how Banerjee’s medical records allegedly came into Adhikari’s possession and how they were subsequently made public.

14,000-ft plunge, silent cockpit, fighter jets: Why Israel was prepared to shoot down flydubai plane carrying 150+ Israelis

Why Israel was prepared to shoot down flydubai plane carrying 150+ Israelis

admin 0 Comments

Israel was prepared to consider shooting down a flydubai passenger aircraft carrying more than 150 Israelis after an Omani co-pilot allegedly attacked Indian captain Smit Machchhar in the cockpit, according to CBS News.

Two Israeli sources with direct knowledge of the situation told the broadcaster that Israel has a long-established procedure for dealing with a possible 9/11-style hijacking and was ready to act if the aircraft posed a threat to populated areas.

The incident occurred last week when the flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv was allegedly attacked by co-pilot Hammam Al-Hammami with a crash axe. The aircraft subsequently plunged around 14,000 feet, raising concerns that it could have been taken over.

Israeli Air Force scrambled fighter jets

Following the sudden descent, the Israeli Air Force attempted to establish contact with the cockpit but received no response, according to CBS News.

A command centre was set up and Israeli airspace was closed as fighter jets were scrambled to assess the situation.

The Israeli aircraft were later recalled after the passenger plane changed course towards Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia subsequently scrambled its own fighter jets as the aircraft headed towards its territory.

The situation eventually changed after Machchhar managed to unlock the cockpit door. Israeli passengers and flydubai personnel then entered the cockpit and restrained the co-pilot.

What would Israel have done?

According to CBS News, Israel has a specific procedure for dealing with an aircraft suspected of being hijacked and maintaining radio silence.

If the aircraft had approached within a certain distance of Ben Gurion International Airport, Israeli fighter jets could have entered Jordanian airspace to intercept and assess the situation.

The pilots would have attempted to establish visual contact with the cockpit and determine what was happening inside the aircraft. Their assessment would then have been relayed to the Israeli Air Force and a pre-established committee.

If the committee determined that the aircraft had been hijacked and the suspected hijackers remained unresponsive, the matter could have been escalated to the Israeli prime minister and defence minister.

Israel has a policy allowing a rogue aircraft to be shot down in extreme circumstances, although only the prime minister can authorise such an action.

The Israeli sources told CBS News that such a decision could be considered if authorities believed the aircraft was likely to crash into a high-value target, including the Azrieli buildings or Ben Gurion Airport.

Co-pilot under investigation in UAE

Al-Hammami is currently in the United Arab Emirates, where he is undergoing a second round of questioning after initially being interrogated by Saudi authorities following the aircraft’s emergency landing.

Israel has sent representatives to the UAE to participate in the investigation.

According to The Jerusalem Post, investigators found that Al-Hammami had researched airlines operating flights to Israel and had visited the country months before the cockpit incident.

“I tried to get hired by all the airlines,” he reportedly told investigators. “I checked which ones flew to Tel Aviv. That’s why I chose flydubai. I planned [the operation] even before I was hired.”

The reports have also raised questions over how Al-Hammami was able to operate a flight to Israel despite concerns about his background. Israel and Oman do not have diplomatic relations, and reports have said that pilots operating flights to Israel are required to hold passports from countries with which Israel maintains diplomatic relations.

The case has also brought scrutiny on Israel’s Mossad and Shin Bet over the vetting process surrounding foreign airline crew members operating flights to the country.

Schneider Electric to buy US software firm PTC in $22.6 billion deal

Schneider Electric to buy US software firm PTC in $22.6 billion deal

admin 0 Comments

France’s Schneider Electric struck its biggest deal ever on Monday, agreeing to buy US software company PTC for around $22.6 billion as it builds up its data centre business amid booming demand.

However, the French engineering company’s shares fell nearly 10% in early Paris trading as investors weighed the size of the acquisition, the big premium offered for the shares and the outlook for software companies’ valuations amid AI-related market uncertainty.

Up to Friday’s close, Schneider’s shares were up 29%​ year-to-date, before Monday’s losses wiped off close to €15 billion ($17 billion) from its market capitalisation.

“AI disruption fears are still weighing on software valuations, which allows acquiring PTC at a decade low valuation but could still weigh on Schneider post deal,” Jefferies said in a note to investors.

Berenberg analyst Nay Soe Naing told Reuters the deal presented a healthy valuation amid a compressed valuation environment and challenging investor sentiment across the software space.

PTC shares jumped 34.4% in US premarket trading.

BACKBONE OF DATA CENTRE BUILD-UP

Schneider, once known primarily for industrial components like fuses and circuit breakers, now builds the backbone of data centres, supplying everything from cooling units and server racks to critical power distribution equipment.

The PTC acquisition would expand its industrial software and AI business by adding the Boston-based company’s product-design and lifecycle-management software to its offering.

Schneider CEO Olivier Blum told investors that PTC’s engineering and design data would strengthen Schneider’s ability to deploy AI across customers’ industrial operations.

“Data is becoming a very critical layer” for extracting value from AI, as the technology requires closer links between data and the software used to contextualise it, Blum said in the conference call.

The combination would lift Schneider’s software-as-a-service revenue to about 24% of group total, accelerating its push beyond electrical equipment and automation into higher-growth, recurring-revenue software, he added.

Booming demand for data centres, particularly from the US, is driving Schneider’s earnings, offering a growing source of revenue that is helping it offset weakness in some traditional electrical-equipment markets.

PTC, which provides software solutions for designing, manufacturing and servicing products across multiple sectors, has also benefited from growing demand for its AI-powered tools.

Monday’s deal follows Schneider’s June agreement to buy Cognite Holding, a privately held provider of AI software and industrial data.

DEAL DETAILS

The transaction would be Schneider’s largest-ever acquisition and one of the biggest in Europe this year, according to LSEG data.

It would be financed through an issuance of new shares worth €5 billion to €6 billion under an existing shareholder authorisation, and new debt of €16 billion to €17 billion.

The $205-per-share offer implies an enterprise value of $23.7 billion for PTC and represents a 42.3% premium to its last closing price.

France’s third-highest-valued listed company expects the deal to generate €250 million in annual run-rate cost savings by the third year after closing, alongside about €800 million in revenue synergies.

The acquisition is expected to close by the third quarter of 2027, subject to approvals from PTC shareholders and regulators.

Vidyut Jammwal holds his breath for 15 minutes at Street Fighter event, shares message for youngsters: ‘Ek baar ruk jao’

admin 0 Comments

Vidyut Jammwal left the audience stunned at a special Street Fighter event in Mumbai after holding his breath for 15 minutes while meditating on stage. The actor, who is making his Hollywood debut as Dhalsim in the upcoming film, used the event to demonstrate the yogic practices that connect him with his character.

In Street Fighter, Vidyut plays Dhalsim, the popular gaming character whose abilities are associated with yoga. The actor’s background in Kalaripayattu, the ancient Indian martial art, also connects closely with the physical and spiritual aspects of the character.

Vidyut Jammwal meditates for 15 minutes on stage

During the event, Vidyut sat in meditation alongside cosplayers dressed as Dhalsim. He remained still on stage for 15 minutes while holding his breath, giving the audience a glimpse of the discipline behind his yogic practice.

After completing the meditation, Vidyut explained that he used a special technique from the Patanjali Yoga Sutra. According to the actor, the practice has helped him achieve several milestones in his life, and he also teaches the technique to youngsters.

Vidyut explained that the larger idea behind the practice is patience. Instead of constantly chasing results, he believes people should learn to stop, remain still and understand that achieving something meaningful can take time.

Addressing the younger generation at the event, Vidyut said, “Main apni younger generation ko ek baat bolna chata hu, ruk jao thoda sa. ‘How do you get it?’ I don’t know how I got it, because I stood still.”

Speaking about the constant rush to achieve more, he continued, “Hum dekh rahe sab log bhag rahe hai, yeh karna hai, voh karna hai, yeh karna hai, voh karna hai, kuch nahi karna hai; ek baar tham jao, ek baar ruk jao.”

He added, “That skill will really really take you very far. This is what I can tell you, thank you for witnessing this.”

Vidyut Jammwal makes Hollywood debut with Street Fighter

Street Fighter marks Vidyut Jammwal’s Hollywood debut, with the actor stepping into the role of Dhalsim. His casting brings his years of experience in martial arts and physical training to a character known for his mastery of yoga.

The Paramount Pictures release is scheduled to hit theatres across India on October 16, 2026. The film will be released in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

At-Home Micro-Infusion: A Modern Approach to Smarter Skin Care 

At-Home Micro-Infusion: A Modern Approach to Smarter Skin Care 

admin 0 Comments

Skin care has become increasingly personalized, with consumers looking for practical ways to support smoother, healthier-looking skin without making their routines unnecessarily complicated. Alongside cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and sunscreen, at-home beauty devices are becoming another option for people interested in taking a more technology-focused approach to their skincare routine. One such development is micro-infusion, a cosmetic technique designed to combine a specialized device with topical skincare products.

For those exploring this category, Even Skyn offers products designed for at-home skincare routines. A Micro-infusion system can provide a more targeted way to incorporate certain topical formulations into a beauty regimen. However, understanding how these devices work, how to prepare the skin, and how to use them responsibly is just as important as choosing the product itself.

What Is At-Home Micro-Infusion?

Micro-infusion refers to a cosmetic skincare technique that uses a device with very fine points or precision components to interact with the skin’s surface while applying a topical formulation.

It is important to distinguish at-home micro-infusion products from professional dermatological procedures. Different devices have different designs, specifications, and intended uses. A home device should therefore be used strictly according to its manufacturer’s instructions rather than being treated as a substitute for a professional procedure.

The appeal is largely about convenience. Instead of making a separate appointment for every skincare treatment, consumers can incorporate certain beauty technologies into their existing home routines.

Why Are Home Skincare Devices Becoming Popular?

Modern consumers often want skincare that fits around busy schedules. At-home devices can offer an additional option for people who enjoy experimenting with technology-based beauty products.

Some potential reasons consumers explore micro-infusion include:

  • Convenience
  • A more structured skincare routine
  • Interest in advanced beauty technology
  • Targeted application of topical products
  • The ability to incorporate treatments into a home environment

However, expectations should remain realistic. Skincare results vary from person to person, and no single device can provide identical outcomes for everyone.

Factors such as age, skin type, lifestyle, environmental exposure, product selection, and consistency can all influence how someone’s skin looks and feels.

Building a Strong Foundation Before Using a Device

A micro-infusion device should complement good skincare habits rather than replace them.

Before adding any beauty technology, establish the basics.

Start With Gentle Cleansing

A gentle cleanser can help remove makeup, excess oil, and everyday impurities without unnecessarily disrupting the skin’s comfort.

Aggressive cleansing is not automatically more effective. If your skin feels tight or uncomfortable after cleansing, the product may be too harsh for your individual needs.

Keep Skin Hydrated

Moisturization is another fundamental part of an effective skincare routine. The right moisturizer can help maintain a comfortable, hydrated appearance.

Different skin types have different needs, so product selection should be based on individual tolerance and preferences.

Never Skip Sun Protection

Daily sun protection remains one of the most important aspects of a long-term skincare routine. Broad-spectrum sunscreen can help protect the skin from ultraviolet exposure that contributes to visible signs of premature aging.

An advanced beauty device should never be viewed as a replacement for sun protection.

Preparing Your Skin for Micro-Infusion

Preparation matters when introducing a new skincare device.

Start by carefully reading the manufacturer’s instructions. Pay attention to guidance concerning cleansing, compatible products, device preparation, treatment frequency, cleaning, storage, and replacement components.

Clean Your Hands

Wash your hands before handling the device or touching your face. This simple step can help maintain better hygiene throughout the process.

Cleanse the Treatment Area

The intended treatment area should be appropriately cleansed before use. Makeup, excess oils, and other surface products should be removed according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Use Compatible Products

Not every serum or cosmetic formulation is necessarily appropriate for use with every micro-infusion device.

Only use products recommended or approved by the manufacturer for the intended application. Avoid experimenting with unrelated formulations simply because they contain popular skincare ingredients.

Understanding Skincare Ingredients

One of the most interesting aspects of modern home skincare is the variety of ingredients available.

Depending on the formulation, consumers may encounter ingredients such as peptides, humectants, antioxidants, and other cosmetic compounds.

Peptides

Peptides are commonly included in skincare formulations designed to support the appearance and feel of aging skin.

Hydrating Ingredients

Ingredients designed to attract or retain moisture can contribute to a smoother and more comfortable-looking complexion.

Antioxidants

Antioxidant ingredients are frequently used in skincare products because of their role in formulations designed to support the skin against environmental stressors.

The presence of an ingredient, however, does not guarantee a particular result. Formulation quality, concentration, individual skin characteristics, and consistent use all matter.

How Often Should You Use a Micro-Infusion Device?

This is an area where more is not necessarily better.

Users should follow the schedule provided by the manufacturer. Increasing the frequency beyond the recommended instructions does not automatically accelerate cosmetic results and could increase the chance of irritation or discomfort.

If your skin becomes unusually irritated, pause the routine and reassess the situation.

People who regularly experience sensitivity or have an existing skin concern may wish to speak with a dermatologist before introducing a new device.

Hygiene Is Essential

Any skincare device that comes into close contact with the face should be handled carefully.

Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions after every use. If a component is designed for single use, do not reuse it.

The device should also not be shared with other people.

Proper storage is equally important. Keep the device and its components in the manner recommended by the manufacturer and avoid exposing them to unnecessary contamination.

Who Should Be Cautious With At-Home Devices?

At-home cosmetic devices are not suitable for every situation.

If the skin has open wounds, active irritation, infections, or another significant concern, it may be better to avoid introducing additional treatments until the issue has been appropriately addressed.

People using prescription skincare products should also consider whether a new device is compatible with their existing routine.

When in doubt, professional advice from a dermatologist or other qualified healthcare professional can help determine whether a particular treatment is appropriate.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using Too Many Products

Adding multiple new products at once can make it difficult to determine which product is responsible for irritation or other changes.

Introduce new products gradually when possible.

Ignoring Manufacturer Instructions

Online videos and social media tutorials can demonstrate techniques that are not appropriate for your particular device.

The manufacturer’s instructions should take priority.

Treating More Frequently Than Recommended

More treatment does not necessarily mean better results. Stick to the recommended schedule.

Neglecting Sunscreen

Consumers sometimes focus heavily on sophisticated skincare devices while overlooking everyday sun protection.

A consistent sunscreen routine remains essential.

Expecting Instant Results

Skin changes gradually. A realistic approach focuses on consistent care rather than expecting dramatic transformation after one treatment.

How to Create a Simple Home Skincare Schedule

A straightforward routine is often easier to maintain than a complicated one.

Morning

A basic morning routine might look like:

  1. Gentle cleanser
  2. Suitable skincare product
  3. Moisturizer
  4. Broad-spectrum sunscreen

Evening

An evening routine may include:

  1. Gentle cleansing
  2. Appropriate treatment products
  3. Moisturizer

If a micro-infusion device is included, use it according to the manufacturer’s specific instructions regarding timing, compatible products, and frequency.

Tracking Your Skincare Progress

It can be difficult to notice gradual changes when you look at your face every day.

One practical approach is to take occasional photographs under similar lighting and from similar angles. This can provide a more consistent way to observe changes in the appearance of your skin.

Avoid comparing your results directly with heavily edited social media photographs. Lighting, camera settings, makeup, filters, and professional treatments can dramatically affect how skin appears in pictures.

Choosing Technology That Fits Your Routine

The best skincare technology is not necessarily the device with the longest feature list. It is the one that fits your needs, lifestyle, budget, and ability to use it correctly.

Before purchasing a home micro-infusion product, consider:

  • How the device is intended to be used
  • Which products are compatible with it
  • Cleaning requirements
  • Recommended treatment frequency
  • Replacement requirements
  • Whether your skin is suitable for the treatment
  • Whether you understand the manufacturer’s instructions

Doing this research beforehand can make the experience more practical and predictable.

Learning More About Sensitive Skin

People who are interested in home skincare routines should also understand how different active ingredients can affect sensitive skin. Understanding your skin’s tolerance can help you make better decisions when introducing new products or technologies.

Final Thoughts

At-home micro-infusion is part of a broader shift toward convenient, technology-assisted skincare. For consumers interested in exploring this approach, the key is not simply purchasing a device but learning how to incorporate it responsibly into an established routine.

Start with the basics: gentle cleansing, hydration, appropriate skincare products, and consistent sun protection. Follow the device manufacturer’s instructions carefully, use only compatible formulations, maintain good hygiene, and avoid treating more frequently than recommended.

Most importantly, keep expectations realistic. Every person’s skin is different, and cosmetic results can vary. When used thoughtfully and as part of a balanced skincare routine, at-home micro-infusion can be an interesting option for people who want to explore modern approaches to maintaining a smooth, refreshed-looking complexion.

Olde Naples Hotel Opens Tammy Fender Holistic Skin Care & Spa

Olde Naples Hotel Opens Tammy Fender Holistic Skin Care & Spa

admin 0 Comments

Naples, FL, September 30, 2026 –(PR.com)– Olde Naples Hotel has opened the new Tammy Fender Holistic Skin Care 7 Spa, adding a major wellness component to the luxury hotel that debuted this spring in the heart of Naples’ historic Third Street South district. Open to hotel guests and the local community, the new spa brings holistic skincare pioneer Tammy Fender’s more than 25 years of plant-based skincare expertise and personalized treatments just one block from Naples Beach.

Designed as a quiet retreat within Olde Naples Hotel, the spa complements a stay shaped by the relaxed pace and walkability of its Old Naples setting. Warm tones, natural textures and tropical greenery create a calming backdrop for treatments, while the hotel’s rooftop pool and courtyard, nearby beach, and surrounding shops, restaurants and galleries offer additional ways to slow down and experience the neighborhood.

The Naples location is Fender’s third spa and features customized face and body treatments pairing her botanical skincare formulations with hands-on techniques and advanced wellness technologies. The menu includes Fender’s Signature Holistic Facial Treatment, a 60-minute experience incorporating healing plant extracts, oxygen therapy and reflexology, along with new services such as 90-minute Neuromuscular Therapy and Buccal Facial Massage.

Fender personally selected the Naples team, bringing together world-class specialists in skincare, bodywork and complementary wellness practices. Long before holistic skincare became mainstream, Fender was developing an approach that views skincare as part of overall well-being. Drawing on her experience as an aesthetician and her study of herbalism, aromatherapy, cutting-edge holistic therapies and traditional healing practices, she became known for both her award-winning botanical skincare collection and transformative spa treatments.

“Naples is a very special community, and Third Street South feels like a natural home for what we do,” said Fender. “There is a wonderful connection here between history, nature and a more intentional way of living. We wanted the spa to reflect that spirit and create an experience that feels personal, restorative and rooted in a genuine sense of place.”

That sense of place extends beyond the spa. Olde Naples Hotel stands on the site of the original Naples Hotel, the city’s first hotel, which opened in 1889. The new hotel pays homage to those roots while reimagining the property as a modern-day gathering place in a neighborhood long associated with tropical landscapes, intimate courtyards and the restorative appeal of the Gulf Coast.

The opening also expands Fender’s relationship with Opal Collection, which includes Tammy Fender Holistic Skin Care & Spa at Opal Grand Resort & Spa in Delray Beach. Earlier this year, Opal Collection began introducing Fender’s luxurious Essential Collection of plant-based shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and cleansing bars as in-room amenities across the majority of its hotel and resort portfolio, extending the partnership’s wellness focus into the guestroom experience.

Tammy Fender Holistic Skin Care & Spa at Olde Naples Hotel is now open to hotel guests and the public. For treatment information and reservations, visit OpalCollection.com/olde-naples-hotel/spa.

GLOWBAR AND REMEDY PARTNER TO CONNECT THE PROFESSIONAL FACIAL WITH THE AT-HOME SKINCARE ROUTINE

GLOWBAR AND REMEDY PARTNER TO CONNECT THE PROFESSIONAL FACIAL WITH THE AT-HOME SKINCARE ROUTINE

admin 0 Comments

Glowbar and Dr. Muneeb Shah’s dermatologist-created skincare brand come together to pair personalized professional facials with advanced skincare, including REMEDY’s new 15% Azelaic Acid Advanced Clarifying Serum.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Glowbar and REMEDY announce a new partnership designed to create a more connected skincare experience, bringing together the expertise of the professional facial with the dermatologist-created products consumers use at home.

GLOWBAR AND REMEDY PARTNER TO CONNECT THE PROFESSIONAL FACIAL WITH THE AT-HOME SKINCARE ROUTINE

From September 22 through October 22, the two brands will partner on a limited-time experience incorporating two REMEDY formulas into every customized Glowbar facial: the NEW 15% Azelaic Acid Advanced Clarifying Serum and REMEDY’s bestselling Dark Circle Reducing Advanced Eye Cream.

The partnership brings together two complementary approaches to making expert skincare more accessible. Glowbar has built its business around personalized, professional facials delivered in 30 minutes, while REMEDY was founded by double board-certified dermatologist Dr. Muneeb Shah to translate dermatological expertise into advanced, approachable skincare for everyday routines.

Together, Glowbar and REMEDY are connecting two parts of the skincare experience that are often treated separately: what happens in the treatment room and what happens after you leave it.

FROM THE DERMATOLOGIST’S OFFICE TO THE TREATMENT ROOM
A facial doesn’t end when a client leaves the treatment room. Skin has been professionally assessed and treated, making the products that follow an important part of the overall experience.

That shared insight became the starting point for the Glowbar x REMEDY partnership. Dr. Shah worked closely with Glowbar’s CEO and Founder Rachel Liverman to identify two REMEDY formulas to complement the final stage of its professional treatments, with a focus on delivering targeted results while respecting freshly treated skin.

At the center of the partnership is REMEDY’s new 15% Azelaic Acid Advanced Clarifying Serum, a formulation breakthrough that reimagines how high-strength azelaic acid can be delivered. The serum features a fully solubilized 15% azelaic acid complex in an elegant, water-light format, overcoming the grittiness, heaviness, and formulation limitations that have historically made high-concentration azelaic acid difficult to work with. Developed without propylene glycol or alcohol, the formula delivers a dermatologist-trusted ingredient at a meaningful concentration without compromising on texture, layering, or tolerability. Backed by robust in vivo and ex vivo clinical studies, the serum is designed to visibly reduce redness, fade the appearance of dark spots and improve overall skin clarity, making it particularly suited to the post-facial moment.

Story Continues

Professional treatments and at-home skincare should work together, not exist in separate worlds,” said Dr. Muneeb Shah, double board-certified dermatologist and Founder of REMEDY. “Glowbar has made professional skincare more accessible and easier to incorporate into a regular routine, which made this partnership a natural fit. Education is central to REMEDY, and this experience gives clients the opportunity to learn about the formula from a trusted esthetician, experience it during their treatment, and then understand how to incorporate it into their routine at home.”

Throughout the experience, Glowbar’s expert estheticians will bring the partnership to life through the brand’s signature customized facial experience, incorporating the REMEDY formulas based on each client’s skin and treatment while providing education around the ingredients, their benefits and why they have been selected for that point in the facial.

“We took the facial out of the derm office, and now we’re putting the derm back in the facial,” said Rachel Liverman, Founder & CEO of Glowbar. “At Glowbar, professional skincare created by experts isn’t just important to us, it’s everything. We’re driven by making professional skincare more accessible, and a partnership with Dr. Shah and REMEDY was a natural fit. I’ve been working closely with Dr. Shah to select the products that will best support Glowbar clients after their facials, so they can get even more out of their results, and I’m so excited for everyone to try it.”

ABOUT REMEDY

REMEDY is a modern dermatologist-developed skincare brand founded by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Muneeb Shah, whose evidence-based education has earned the trust of more than 20 million people globally. Built on the belief that everyone deserves access to healthy skin, REMEDY creates advanced daily essentials and targeted treatments inspired by real patient needs and formulated to deliver visible results while remaining safe for sensitive skin.

ABOUT GLOWBAR
Glowbar is revolutionizing the skincare industry with 30-minute, affordable, customized and results-driven facial treatments. Founded in 2019 by third-generation esthetician Rachel Liverman, Glowbar was created to eliminate overwhelming treatment menus, lengthy appointments and costly add-ons traditionally associated with professional facials.

Glowbar’s expert estheticians have performed more than 750,000 facials, helping make consistent professional skincare more accessible and approachable. Dubbed “the custom facial that leaves your skin glowing” by Town & Country, the brand debuted its first skincare products in 2025 and earned a spot at No. 409 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Private Companies in America.

Skincare range for aesthetic procedure prep now in S'pore, also tackles dryness & dullness

admin

Alastin launches in Singapore with skincare for aesthetic procedures and everyday use

You may have heard of the all-important prepping and priming steps when it comes to makeup, but as it turns out, those aren’t just things for foundation and eyeshadow anymore.

In the aesthetics world, getting your skin ready before a treatment can matter just as much as what you do afterwards, and that’s something skincare brand Alastin is putting more focus on.

The professional-grade skincare brand by Galderma has officially launched in Singapore, with products designed to support skin before and after aesthetic procedures, while also tackling everyday concerns such as dryness, dullness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.

At a recent media preview, aesthetics doctor Dr Ashley Yuen shared that patients traditionally weren’t encouraged to prep and prime their skin before aesthetic procedures. Instead, most of the attention tended to come after the treatment, once the skin was already recovering.

That’s where Alastin takes a slightly different approach, putting more emphasis on getting the skin into better shape before the treatment even begins.

And even if needles or lasers aren’t on your agenda anytime soon, don’t tune out just yet. The range has also been designed to work as standalone skincare, with products catering to different skin types, ages, and everyday concerns.

Built around skin recovery, not just the treatment itself

We also heard from Professor Alan Widgerow, Galderma’s Chief Scientific Officer and Head of Alastin Innovation, who brings with him decades of experience across plastic surgery, wound care, tissue engineering, and skincare research.

That background makes sense, given how Alastin came about. The brand was created by a plastic surgeon and a formulation scientist, with the idea of looking after your skin across the whole treatment journey, not just once the procedure is over.

As Dr Yuen explained, traditional aesthetic care tended to be much more reactive. You’d go for the treatment, then deal with the redness, irritation, or downtime afterwards with soothing creams, sunscreen, or whatever else your doctor recommended.

Alastin’s approach is to start a little earlier.

It calls this pre-conditioning the skin, essentially giving it some extra support before heat, energy, or needles enter the picture, rather than only thinking about recovery afterwards.

And that covers a pretty broad spectrum of treatments, from non-invasive options such as HIFU and other energy-based skin-tightening procedures, to Pico and fractional lasers, and needle-based treatments such as radiofrequency microneedling, dermal fillers, skinboosters, botulinum toxins, and biostimulatory injectables.

The star of the show is Alastin’s proprietary TriHex Technology, a peptide-based system designed to help clear aged, damaged collagen and elastin, while supporting the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin.

Its newer TriHex+ Technology, found in the Restorative Skin Complex, also supports the skin’s natural production of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid.

Alastin sums the whole process up as “remove, rebuild, and replenish”, essentially spring cleaning for your skin: clearing out the damaged stuff, making room for new collagen and elastin, and helping maintain smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.

But while all of that sounds pretty impressive, there is one important distinction to make. In response to queries from MS News, Alastin clarified that this doesn’t make the range a scar treatment.

Its products are designed to support post-procedure recovery and overall skin quality, but aren’t intended to treat surgical scars, replace post-operative care, or reduce the appearance of scars from surgery or injury.

For the pre- and post-procedure crowd

If you’ve got a little glow-up procedure pencilled into your calendar, Alastin’s Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology is designed to support your skin both before and after the appointment.

Designed for use before treatment, it helps support the skin barrier, then soothes skin as it recovers afterwards. The anhydrous, preservative-free formula also means there’s no water in the mix, keeping things simple for pre- and post-treatment skin.

Alastin says prepping the skin beforehand may also help it better handle treatment and support recovery afterwards, a bit like warming up before a workout instead of going in cold.

There’s also INhance Serum with TriHex Technology, which is designed to complement cosmetic treatments while keeping skin hydrated and looking plumper.

Its cooling applicator tip is a nice touch, too, especially when your skin is feeling a little tender after treatment.

They work well as regular skincare, too

If you’ve been reading this thinking it all sounds a bit too clinic-focused, good news: you don’t need an upcoming injectable or laser appointment to get something out of the range.

Although much of Alastin’s science is tied to aesthetic treatments, the products were also designed to work as standalone skincare.

For everyday ageing concerns, the Restorative Skin Complex with TriHex+ Technology targets fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven skin tone, while helping skin look plumper and more elastic.

There are also dedicated formulas for the areas we tend to ignore until they suddenly start demanding attention.

The Restorative Neck Complex, for instance, focuses on the neck and décolleté, while the Restorative Eye Complex targets dark circles, puffiness, fine lines, and wrinkles.

If serums are more your thing, HA Immerse Serum is all about hydration, A-Luminate Brightening Serum targets visible discolouration and pigmentation, and C-RADICAL DEFENSE Antioxidant Serum combines Vitamin C with 14 antioxidants to help protect against environmental stressors.

And for days when you don’t have the time or energy for a full-on routine, there’s the Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer with TriHex Technology, which provides up to 24 hours of hydration while helping support the skin barrier.

Beauty combines skincare, aesthetics and longevity

admin 0 Comments

The beauty market is expanding and moving beyond traditional practices. More and more consumers are complementing their skincare and make-up routines with beauty treatments and solutions focused on performance and longevity (tools and treatments related to health, bodily function and the prevention of ageing), in a process that is redefining the boundaries of the sector.

Driving this change is what the second edition of the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study, in collaboration with WWD, “Consumers Are Shaping a New Age of Optimisation in Beauty”, defines as the “optimizer” consumer: a profile that integrates aesthetic procedures and treatments aimed at performance and longevity into their traditional beauty routine, and which today accounts for 6 per cent of American adults – approximately 15 million people. Over the past twelve months, this segment has spent an average of $3,000 across the three categories.

According to the survey, carried out in April in the US amongst 5,000 consumers of beauty products, around 70 per cent of respondents said they were open to non-traditional solutions, whilst 80 per cent considered beauty to be a matter of physical and mental wellbeing, not just outward appearance. Should the ‘optimisers’ segment double in size, the report estimates a potential of over 30 billion dollars in added value for the entire beauty ecosystem, of which over 10 billion is linked to aesthetic procedures and more than 20 billion to the performance and longevity categories.

“Traditional beauty – understood as skincare, make-up and hair care – remains the cornerstone of the category, as it is upon this that consumers build their routines, but its definition is broadening,” comments Guia Ricci, managing director and partner at BCG. “Rather than relying solely on a few flagship products, today’s consumers combine solutions that address aesthetics, physical performance and longevity to achieve their desired results. This is a shift that brands must take note of: these consumers are pointing the way forward for the sector.”

70 per cent of beauty enthusiasts now regard cosmetic procedures as a regular part of their routine, a habit that is also reflected in their purchasing behaviour within the traditional beauty sector: 70 per cent have increased their spending on premium or medical-grade skincare products, whilst 50 per cent have introduced new steps or ingredients into their routine. A similar trend is evident with GLP-1 drugs, which are creating new beauty needs: they have been used by 30 per cent of optimisers in the last twelve months and, amongst those who have noticed physical changes or changes in skin quality, around half have turned to luxury or medical-grade skincare products, whilst amongst those who have experienced a loss of skin firmness, almost 80 per cent have increased their use of fillers, injectables, skin-tightening treatments or laser treatments. ‘Optimisers’ are also four times more likely than the average consumer to take supplements for longevity and to combat ageing, and twice as likely to use beauty supplements.
