SKIN STORIES® offers the best care you can give your tattoos. With a range of tattoo care products backed by years of research and on-the-ground testing, the label produces the highest-quality options on the market for tattoo aftercare, sun protection, daily skin care and more. Now, SKIN STORIES® is furthering their range to include the new Tattoo Hydro Gel — a cooling gel that keeps your tattoos radiant while providing intensive moisture for 24 hours.
Tattooing as a practice can be traced back thousands of years. But until recently, little was truly known about caring for tattooed skin. Without specialised care, tattoos can fade quickly, losing their definition and vibrancy — and while tattoo artists and skin care experts would trade tips about how to prevent this change, scant research was dedicated to the topic.
SKIN STORIES® sought to change this. The team behind SKIN STORIES® amassed decades of information and practice, working with dermatologists, tattoo artists and more to determine exactly what tattooed skin needs to stay looking and feeling fresh and beautiful. Guiding them in this process were the skin care experts of their parent company, Beiersdorf — top players in the field since 1882.
The result of all this effort is the series SKIN STORIES® proudly offers on their webshop today: a Sun Stick (14.95€) and Lotion (12.95€) to protect body art from fading due to sun damage; Defining Serum (9.95€) to strengthen the skin and keep tattoos looking precise; Rapid Repair Balm (9.95€) to support the regeneration of tattoos after piercing while relieving redness; Daily Lotion (9.95€) for everyday care — and the label’s newest addition, Tattoo Hydro Gel (6.99€), a fast-absorbing gel perfect for post-sun care.
As one might be able to infer from the SKIN STORIES® product line, sunlight can pose severe danger to tattooed skin. Not only can sun exposure cause colours to fade and linework to lose its definition, but it can also prove incredibly painful with lasting effects on both the tattoo and skin.
That’s why — just in time for summer — SKIN STORIES® has expanded its range to cover everything the sun can throw at you. The new Tattoo Hydro Gel joins original favourites like the label’s Sun Stick, which provides a precise applicator with over 50 SPF of protection, and the label’s classic Sun Lotion, which offers SPF 30 protection in a spreadable form. Once your time in the sun is done, the new Tattoo Hydro Gel makes for the perfect post-sun partner, offering a cooling sensation while enriching your skin with aloe vera.
The Tattoo Hydro Gel’s benefits extend beyond just post-sun care. The travel-ready gel offers expertly-developed InkGuard Technology, which consists of an active ingredient combination of Berryflux Vita (made from raspberry stem cells), panthenol and vitamin E, working together to provide lasting moisture. The gel is also devoid of environmentally harmful ingredients like microplastics, parabens and mineral oils.
The commitment of SKIN STORIES® to preserving the beauty of tattooed skin is truly unparalleled in the market today. Explore the full collection on the label’s online shop, and pick up the Tattoo Hydro Gel in the online store today for only 6.99€.
British perfume house Penhaligon’s has long been known for its eccentric storytelling and richly layered scents. Established in 1870, the brand blends heritage with a playful, almost theatrical approach to fragrance — most notably in itsPortraits Collection, a series of perfumes inspired by a fictional aristocratic family filled with intrigue, scandal, and secrets.
Each scent introduces a new character from an aristocratic British family — think secret affairs, whispered betrayals, and the occasional vanishing husband. From the ever-dignified Lord George to the cunning Lady Blanche and the rebellious Duchess Rose, every bottle plays its part in this delightfully dramatic tale. And the best bit? The bottles themselves are topped with intricate animal heads, turning the whole collection into a chessboard of perfumed mischief.
The latest arrival at the Portraits Mansion is Fortuitous Finley, a fragrance as captivating as its mysterious equine muse. Steeped in the elegance of British equestrian style, the fragrance belongs among polished leather, precise tailoring, and aristocratic refinement. Much like Penhaligon’s creations, it embodies heritage with a contemporary edge. With its sculpted horse-head bottle, Finley enters the Portraits collection like a chess piece in play — another charismatic figure in Penhaligon’s ever-evolving tale.
Opening with a spicy kick of cardamom and black pepper, the fragrance quickly softens into a creamy yet fresh heart of salted pistachio and violet leaf, balanced by the refined earthiness of matcha and violet. At the base, patchouli, orris, and the leather-like Saffiano accord add depth and texture, giving the scent an unmistakable presence.
Like all Portraits characters, Finley comes with a backstory — this particular stallion has caught the attention of Lady Blanche and, curiously, her daughter. His scent is equally hard to resist, making him the latest scandalous addition to Penhaligon’s ever-growing cast.
Fortuitous Finley launches April 15th online and at Penhaligon’s boutiques.

“Sometimes life doesn’t choose you, a role chooses you.” For Emanuela Postacchini, acting is more than just playing a character in front of the camera. Her journey, which began in a small town in the Marche region of Italy, now puts her in the same frame with giants like Jennifer Coolidge and Bill Murray. Her role as Marina in ‘Riff Raff’, which had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, reveals both her vulnerability and her creative power.
‘Riff Raff’ made its worldwide premiere at TIFF to great buzz. What drew you to this project, and what was it like stepping into this gritty crime world alongside such a legendary ensemble cast? It feels like the kind of film that doesn’t come around often.
Absolutely—it really doesn’t. As you said, opportunities like this don’t come by very often. To be part of a film with so many legendary actors—people I grew up watching—was surreal. I remember showing up on set and just thinking, “Wow, they’re all really here.” When I first received the script, I loved it. I had never read anything quite like it in my entire career. I was already familiar with the screenwriter, John Pollono—I’m a big fan of his work. ‘Small Engine Repair’ was brilliant. The script for ‘Riff Raff’ was such a compelling blend of comedy and darkness, with these really raw and complex family dynamics running throughout.
What especially stood out to me was the relationship between DJ and Louis Coleman—there’s such emotional depth there. That father-son dynamic plays out in multiple layers and scenarios, and it was fascinating to explore. Also, Marina being pregnant drew me in—I had never played a pregnant character before. I thought it would be interesting to explore that physically and emotionally. I wanted to learn how a pregnant woman sits, walks, eats—just how she navigates the everyday. I talked to friends who had been pregnant to understand those nuances. And of course, the cast! Jennifer Coolidge was already attached, and I immediately thought, “Yes, this role was written for her.” No one else could’ve played Ruth the way she did. She brought that character to life in such a unique, hilarious way. Ed Harris was also part of the cast, and Bill Murray joined later. At the time of my audition, he wasn’t attached yet. But even being considered for a role in such a stacked ensemble felt like a dream come true. It was one of those rare opportunities.
Speaking of Marina being pregnant, what was it like navigating that, especially while acting alongside big personalities like Jennifer Coolidge and Bill Murray? What’s one memorable moment that really stayed with you from the set?
I absolutely adore Bill Murray. He’s such a gentleman, incredibly gracious, and really embraces everyone—even newer actors like myself. He pushes you to bring your A-game in the most supportive way. He’s humble and hardworking, and I had an amazing experience working with him. One moment that always makes me smile—we used to sit on the couch during breaks and flip through fashion magazines together, just chatting about trends. I would’ve never imagined that one day I’d be sitting on a movie set, commenting on fashion with Bill Murray! I think I even have a photo of that moment somewhere—it was hilarious and unforgettable.
Jennifer is also just… Jennifer. So authentic, so uniquely herself. I always say she reminds me of Marilyn Monroe—not in a direct comparison, but in that she has this rare charisma mixed with a kind of innocence and genuineness. She’s incomparable. And we share a deep love for pizza. We even promised each other we’d go on a pizza marathon one day. I hope we still do that!

From ‘The Alienist’ to ‘Riff Raff’, your roles span thrillers, satire, drama, and now crime-comedy. How do you approach choosing such diverse characters? Your choices reflect both range and boldness.
Honestly, I feel like the roles choose you as much as you choose them. Sometimes, something just clicks when you read a script, and that’s the beauty of acting—you get to live so many different lives you wouldn’t experience otherwise. Each role comes with its own color palette, emotions, and energy. The approach always depends on what the script makes me feel and what I believe I can bring to that character—or what that character might bring out in me. Sometime,s you connect deeply, sometimes, it challenges you in a completely new way. Ultimately, I think it’s a dance—part instinct, part preparation, part surrender.
You were born in Italy and now work extensively in the U.S. Has your cultural background influenced how you approach your characters? There’s a certain emotional sensitivity in your performances.
Definitely. Being Italian, there’s a natural passion I bring into everything I do. We’re very expressive, emotional people—we love deeply, argue loudly, and live fully. Interestingly, I’ve often been asked to audition for French roles. In fact, Marina was originally written as a French woman. I even did the first audition in a French accent! But when the director found out I was Italian, he said, “Wait—you’re Italian? Play her as Italian.” And that changed everything. I brought in that big-hearted, family-loving energy. Even little details—like how Marina cooks breakfast while having this sweet moment with DJ—I think those gestures felt very Italian. That cultural texture added something special to the role, and I was really proud to be able to bring that to the screen.
Which city are you from in Italy?
I’m from a small town called Sant’Elpidio a Mare, in the Marche region, on the east coast of Italy. It’s where my family still lives, and I go back every chance I get—especially for holidays. It’s home.
You’ve worked with filmmakers like Sacha Baron Cohen, Roman Coppola, and now Dito Montiel. Does your acting process change depending on the director?
Absolutely. Every director brings something different. Some are very specific and detail-oriented—they’ll tell you exactly what they want and how to get there. Dito, on the other hand, was incredibly trusting. He gave me space to explore, to bring my own ideas into Marina’s character. He wouldn’t say “do this.” Instead, he’d ask questions, lead me into discovering choices on my own. That’s so empowering as an actor. Even though we shot the film quickly, Dito made the process feel fluid and natural. When a director trusts your instincts, it opens up your performance in a completely different way.
You’ve had breakout roles—like in ‘The Alienist’—that introduced you to international audiences. What’s been your most creatively fulfilling role to date?
Definitely Marina in ‘Riff Raff’. Also, working on Who Is America? with Sacha Baron Cohen was incredible because it’s such a rare experience to do satire at that level. But Marina will always have a special place in my heart. It was my first leading role in the U.S., with a dream cast. Coming from a small Italian town, I never imagined I’d get that far—and working alongside actors I grew up admiring was deeply meaningful. When I read the script, I immediately saw Marina. I pictured her with red nail polish, baby bangs, wearing oversized cardigans—this mix of edgy and sweet. I even cut my own bangs to get into character! It was love at first sight.

And you’re acting in a language that isn’t your mother tongue. That’s a challenge on its own!
True, but I’ve been in the U.S. for a while now, and English feels natural to me at this point. It still isn’t my native language, but it doesn’t feel like a barrier anymore. Plus, I love playing with accents and characters from different cultures—I speak several languages, so it’s actually really fun for me.
You’ve been part of projects like Who Is America? that blend fiction with social commentary. Are you drawn to stories that challenge norms or provoke thought?
Yes, definitely. With Sacha Baron Cohen, for example, that kind of satire is unmatched—he’s a genius. Those kinds of projects don’t come along often. I believe that film and TV can—and should—reflect what’s happening in the world. Art can be a powerful way to give voice to what we’re all experiencing. I’m currently working on a vampire film with Alexandra Casavettes, which I’m also executive producing. It’s got a strong social commentary on the last few years, and I’m excited to see how audiences respond.
You’ve worked with legends like Liam Neeson and Ed Harris. What’s the biggest piece of wisdom you’ve picked up from working alongside actors like them?
Humility. No matter how big your career is, you have to keep showing up and doing the work. Bill Murray recently said something during press in New York—he corrected me and said, “Not just humility—false humility.” But the point is, you don’t rest on your laurels. You keep pushing, you keep bringing everything you have to every role.
Looking ahead, are there any stories you’re longing to tell—maybe something deeply personal or unexpected?
Oh, yes! There are so many stories yet to be told. But one thing I’ve been thinking about lately—maybe something comedic, like a cultural clash between Italian and Irish families. My partner is Irish, and the differences in our cultures are hilarious. Italians are so fiery and expressive, we take three-hour lunch breaks, we’re obsessed with food. Meanwhile, that’s totally foreign to other cultures. I think it could be really fun to explore that contrast in a comedy.
Sounds hilarious—and very real! Italians do it better.
