The Kardashian are back. Kim, Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, along with younger sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner and momager Kris, return for a third season of The Kardashians, premiering Thursday (May 25) on Hulu.
In the documentary-style reality series, the Kardashian-Jenner gang reveal truths behind the headlines, while offering a behind-the-scenes peek into their private lives. From relationship ups and downs to navigating “motherhood, coparenting and building their own empires,” audiences will get a candid look at what the Kardashians have been up to since the second season dropped last year.
Since the show’s premiere season, Kylie and Travis Scott welcomed a new baby, Kourtney and Travis Barker tied the knot, Khloe welcomed a baby boy via surrogate and Kim ended her relationship with Pete Davidson.
In episode one, Kim opens up to her mom about her divorce from Kanye West and the rapper’s public tirades against her. “I have to sit here and not say anything ever because I know one day my kids will appreciate that, and I know that is the best thing for them,” says the mom of four, who admitted to blasting West’s music in the car and pretending everything is fine in front of their kids. “I will be his biggest cheerleader forever and one day, [the kids] see for themselves.”
“The one that was supposed to protect me, and still does interviews saying they will be my ‘forever protector,’ is the one that is hurting me the most,” she continues. “He was the one that started a rumor that said I was hooking up with Drake, having an affair our whole marriage. He accused me of that publicly … I really can’t wrap my head around how he thinks he is a protector.”

National Sunscreen Day is Saturday (May 27) but even outside of SPF’s special day, it’s important to lather on sunscreen — especially if you plan on attending outdoor festivals and tours. It may feel good soaking up that vitamin D, but too much exposure will turn that summer tan into a red hot sunburn.

No matter if it’s rain, shine, overcast or even partly cloudy, wearing a solid sunscreen will help keep your skin looking smooth and healthy. The last thing you want to deal with is sped up signs of aging or, in worst cases, skin cancer. That’s why Billboard spoke with with Dr. Angela J. Lamb, a board-certified dermatologist and associate professor of Dermatology to discover the best sunscreens (and even added a few of ours and celebrity favorites in there, too).
Before you go and stock your cart, Lamb gave some tips to keep in mind including how to know if the one you’re using is truly “the best.”
“I recommend something that will go on easily, feel good on people’s skin and permit them to wear make up on top if desired,” she said. Lamb added that you should also look for ingredients like oxide and titanium dioxide as “those ingredients are going to help the sunscreen work immediately when applied to your skin.”
And in terms of how often you should reapply sunscreen, that’ll depend on what you’re doing.
“If you are outside sweating or doing any sports, your sunscreen really needs to be reapplied approximately every 80 to 90 minutes,” she said. “If you really only spend a little bit of time outside — maybe to or from work during your commute — you can put on sunscreen in the morning, and maybe, if the sun is still out when you leave to go home, reapply or use [a] powder [sunscreen] to touch it up.”
Memorial Day beauty deals are already happening meaning you can score quality formulas at discounted prices. To help you upgrade your beauty routine and pack up essential festival gear, check below for the best sunscreens, according to a dermatologist as well as ours and celebrity favorites.
Amazon
Neutrogena Purescreen+ Tinted Sunscreen for Face with SPF 30
$9.99-$18.06 $16.99 41% OFF
Lamb loves this Neutrogena’s Mineral UV Tint formula so much she even uses it herself daily. It comes in four shades and adds a hint of tint to your skin once it’s applied.
Amazon
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
$38.00
For another Lamb pick, this Unseen Sunscreen from Supergoop is a lightweight formula that’ both water- and sweat-resistant for up to 40 minutes once applied. The texture is also clear allowing you to put it on without worry of leaving behind white streaks.
Black Girl Sunscreen
Black Girl Sunscreen Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30
$15.99
Black Girl Sunscreen has garnered much earned attention for creating a quality SPF that’s fragrance free and long-lasting (like up to 80 minutes!). It’s even water resistant, allowing you to take a dip or sweat without needing to constantly reapply.

Drunk Elephant Umbra Sheer Physical Daily Defense Face Sunscreen SPF 30

The series premieres on Wednesday (May 24), with new episodes dropping every Wednesday on Apple TV+. Taking inspiration from the timeless romcom When Sally Met Harry, the show attempts to answer that age old question: Can men and women really be just friends?
