@S_Evangelina "New York City loses an integral part of itself without the block party," writes @S_Evangelina. "When the humidity and temperatures are high and New Yorkers have only got one another, there’s no better place to go than the block." https://t.co/l5cqHKCuPH

According to the dermatologists we spoke to, a big way to prevent dry skin is to make body lotion a staple in your daily routine year-round — not just in the fall and winter. https://t.co/rdGwv9izY2
