I've only ever used expensive SPFs – until I found one that made my skin glow

I've only ever used expensive SPFs – until I found one that made my skin glow

Graziadaily3 days ago
Reader, I'll admit it. I'm an SPF snob. This, however, is for good reason, and allow me to explain why. As a beauty journalist I've swiped and swatched my way around my fair share of sunscreens. And one thing has become clear: not all have been made equally. After falling in love with Emma Lewisham's and Augustinus Bader's of late, a consistent theme remained. Spend more, get more. Yet I found myself getting through these products quickly. Really quickly. It makes sense, of course; SPF is a non-negotiable in the making of healthy skin. But when you're getting through a £60+ bottle more often than you're popping to your local Starbucks? Well, that's when having an affordable option wouldn't go amiss. This is where Simple Glow+ SPF 50 Invisible Fluid comes in. Priced at £12.99 but currently on sale for £8.66, here's why I believe it's a budget beauty buy to which it's worth paying attention.
First and foremost, it protects against UVA and UVB damage. As well as that, there's niacinamide in there which is well known for its soothing, redness-reducing capabilities. Where things get really exciting is in the inclusion of Gluta-Amino, the brand's newest patented technology developed off the back of an impressive €3.2m Unilever investment. Designed to 'support the skin's natural production of its master antioxidant and detoxifier,' a study published in the Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology confirmed that it really works -increasing skin's glutathione levels, reducing free radicals and protecting against key environmental stressors including blue light and pollution. All well and good, but what does that really mean? Essentially, this SPF helps to protect skin from the harmful effects of UV, defend against damage cause by blue light and pollution and even help reverse existing damage. That means, if you already have dark spots and an uneven skin tone, this could be just the tonic. Plus, it's suited to all skin colours - no white cast to be seen. It's impressive stuff. 1.

Price: $8.66 (was £12.99)
What Simple says: 'Meet Simple Invisible UV Fluid with SPF 50, a groundbreaking addition to your skin care routine that redefines high UVA/UVB sun protection and radiance. Powered by Gluta-Amino™* and niacinamide, this advanced formula helps protect your skin against UV-induced pigmentation while working to visibly reduce dark spots and even skin tone for a brighter, more luminous complexion.'
What we know: Simple's new SPF contains Gluta-Amino, the brand's newest patented technology developed off the back of an impressive €3.2m investment by Unilever. Designed to 'support the skin's natural production of its master antioxidant and detoxifier,' a study published in the Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology confirmed that it really works- increasing skin's glutathione levels, reducing free radicals, and protecting against key environmental stressors including blue light and pollution. All well and good. But in basic terms? Essentially, this SPF helps to protect skin from the harmful effects of UV, defend skin against damage cause by blue light and pollution and even help reverse damage.
Rachael Martin beauty director says: 'The formula is light and milky. It smooths onto my skin beautifully and leaves me with a veil of radiance. It's not sparkly at all, but definitely glowy. I'm an oily skinned gal - as the day goes on my t-zone is the first to betray me. Not with this though, it's non greasy, allowing for all the glow and non of the grease. I've been using this as my daily SPF throughout the heat wave and have been so impressed. It plays beautifully under make-up (almost acting like a primer) and, crucially, I haven't burnt once.' Pros Ideal for senstive skin
Brimming with actives

'I always ensure to give the tube a good shake - this is great for ensuring all the ingredients are mixed well with no separation. After applying my moisturiser, I'll take two finger lengths across my face and a third down my neck. Then, if I remember, I'll go in with a forth finger length across my décolletage. This may seem like a lot of product, and, to be honest, it probably is. But this is what dermatologists recommend, again reiterating the need for me to choose an affordable SPF. This is the final step in my morning skincare routine before I follow with make-up.'
Rachael Martin, beauty director:
'A couple of months ago, Simple invited beauty editors on an overnight stay to celebrate a top secret launch. This top secret in question? The Simple Glow+ SPF 50 Invisible Fluid. The timing was perfect. The sun was shining and - uncharacteristically for the UK - has continued to do so ever since. Yet the thought of a new SPF doesn't fill me with instant joy. I have sensitive skin prone to blemishes and redness, so, as ever, was initially apprehensive about adding this to my routine. But after learning a bit more about the product I began to feel hopeful. 'Its ultra-lightweight and non-greasy, top dermatologist Dr Beibei Du-Harpur told me me. 'It's also been tested on sensitive skin, and is suited to all skin types.' Of course, in Dr Beibei Du-Harper I trust, and so the testing began.
Let's begin with first impressions. Texture. The formula is light and milky. It smooths onto my skin beautifully and leaves me with a veil of radiance. It's not sparkly at all, but there's definite radiance to the formula. I'm an oily skinned gal- as the day goes on my t-zone is the first to betray me. Not with this though, it's non greasy, allowing for all the glow and non of the grease. I've been using this as my daily SPF throughout the heatwave and have been so impressed. It plays beautifully under make-up (acting like a primer) and, crucially, I haven't burnt once. And of course, the price is something to shout about. Coming in at £12.99 (and on sale for £8.66) it's a total beauty bargain and measures up to some of the more expensive SPFs I've tried this year. But what about damage reversal? My skin does look more even in tone and texture without make-up, and I think some of my dark spots of pigmentation have minimised - especially around my upper lip. After two months of testing the changes are subtle, but they are definitely there.
Backed by clinically proven results, this SPF is not to be sniffed at. Where protection and damage reversal are concerned you'd be hard pressed to find something better. Especially for the price.

Mum-of-three loses six stone after ditching energy drinks and turning to intermittent fasting

Broadway lost six stone and transformed her health, now she says she's got her energy, confidence, and life back. A mum-of-three has revealed how she transformed her health and lost 90 pounds after ditching her daily energy drink habit and embracing a new lifestyle centred around intermittent fasting. Danielle Broadway, 30, says she simply wanted to feel better when she started her health journey - losing weight was just a bonus. For years, she struggled with constant bloating, random stomach issues, breakouts, and low energy levels. 'I always felt sick from the most random foods, hated the way I felt day to day, and I was constantly breaking out,' she said. 'I knew something had to change.' After doing some research online, Danielle discovered the Simple app, a wellness platform that introduces users to healthy habits like intermittent fasting. It turned out to be a turning point for both her gut health and her waistline, reports the Mirror. Intermittent fasting involves eating during a specific window of time - most commonly 16 hours of fasting followed by an 8-hour eating window. While Danielle admits the beginning was difficult, she says the payoff was worth it. 'The first three days were the hardest,' she said. 'I was putting my body into shock by cutting out a lot of the junk I had been eating.' But she stuck with it, using recipes and tools provided by the app to guide her. 'The recipes worked so well with my gut. Within five months, I'd dropped 42 pounds without making any other changes to my lifestyle.' Danielle says the biggest shift came from giving up energy drinks, which she said was a longtime habit. 'I had a huge hankering for them, but I eventually gave them up completely. Now I have natural energy, my skin has cleared, I feel amazing in my clothes, and I no longer get sick from food.' She believes that focusing on gut health was key to unlocking long-term success. 'I really believe I reset my gut completely,' Danielle said. 'I'm so grateful for finding the app because it helped me take control of my health without doing anything extreme.'

She adds that intermittent fasting became more than just a diet, it was a full lifestyle change. 'It didn't happen overnight,' she explained. 'It took months to fully commit, but now it's second nature. It's had a huge snowball effect on my whole life. I've picked up new hobbies, taken better care of myself, gained confidence and I feel like I got my life back.' Her advice to others starting a health journey? 'Be kind to yourself. Progress isn't linear. Celebrate every small win—you're doing something amazing.' The Simple app, which currently holds a 4.3-star rating from over 30,000 users on Trustpilot, helps people build healthier habits through guided fasting, food tracking, daily workout plans, and its built-in AI wellness assistant, Avo. After answering a detailed health questionnaire, users receive personalised recommendations, including meal plans and fasting trackers tailored to their lifestyle. One user commented: 'I love this app because it makes progress fun and easy to track.' Another added: 'I'm not a fan of diets or exercise, but this app actually made it enjoyable.' That said, it's not for everyone. Some users have said the app felt overly complex or difficult to navigate. However, others praised the customer support team as 'fast and helpful.' The app is currently offering 60% off with the code REACH60. This is not medical advice. This is a personal experience. Results may vary.

Mum-of-three quits energy drinks to lose six stone and still has 'loads of energy'

Danielle Broadway, a mother of three, has shared her transformative journey of shedding six stone (90 pounds) after she stopped consuming energy drinks daily. The 30 year old embarked on her fitness journey with the primary aim of improving her overall health. "If I lost weight it would've been a huge bonus for me, but I just wanted to feel better in my gut," she explains. Danielle admits that she 'always felt bloated', 'would get sick from the most random foods', 'was always breaking out' and 'hated the way' she felt on a day-to-day basis. However, things took a turn when she stumbled upon the Simple app during an online search. It was through this app that Danielle discovered intermittent fasting - a method that proved to be a game-changer for both her weight loss and, as she claims, her gut health. The fasting process involves eating within a specified 'eating window', with the most popular being the 16:8 split of fasting to eating. However, Danielle confesses that the journey wasn't easy, stating: "So I will be honest, the first three days were the hardest, because I was pretty much putting my body into shock by cutting out a lot of things that I was eating that were not good for me," reports the Mirror. "But the Simple app gave me some recipe recommendations that I used and they worked so well with my gut. I ended up dropping 42lbs in five months. And I changed nothing [else] about my lifestyle, I ate better, I felt amazing, I had all this sustained energy. I was able to cut out all energy drinks - I had a huge hankering for energy drinks. "I knew I had to cut them out eventually because I did not want to drink those for the rest of my life. But I was able to get off the caffeine, I have all this energy, my skin has not been breaking out, I feel amazing. I feel better in my clothes, I've had no issues eating anything. I really believe I reset my gut health completely. So I'm super grateful for Simple." Simple is an innovative AI coaching app designed for adults seeking a healthier lifestyle and aims to revolutionise the approach to weight loss, moving away from traditional restrictive diets. The app's methodology has been crafted by experts in nutrition, behavioural change, digital health, and medicine, offering a science-backed alternative for those looking to shed pounds. Currently, customers can take advantage of a special offer using the code REACH60 to enjoy a 60% discount. Upon joining, users complete a comprehensive survey that delves into their health objectives, tastes, and previous weight loss endeavours. Subsequently, they gain access to a suite of tools within the app, such as food logging, intermittent fasting trackers, and a nutriscanner to help decipher meal nutrition. Additionally, Simple provides daily exercise routines and introduces Avo, the standout feature – a personal wellness assistant powered by AI that promptly responds to user queries. Danielle reveals that following a challenging beginning, she's now completely dedicated to the programme: "Intermittent fasting is a lifestyle change, it's not something that happened over night for me. It took many, many months in order for me to fully commit to the lifestyle and now it's just part of my daily life. "It had a huge snowball effect into every aspect of my life. I learned how to do more things for myself, get into new hobbies, I started taking really good care of myself, I got confidence, and I got my life back. You need to be kind to yourself and celebrate these small victories." She continued: "If I had any advice for staying motivated with your goals, it's to be kind to yourself. It isn't a steady ascension, it's a constant up and down and the key is not to be discouraged when it is down. Celebrate the smallest victories, you are doing amazing things out there." If the Simple app isn't quite right, there are numerous alternative fitness apps on the market. Lifesum, for example, is a platform that reportedly assists users in monitoring their nutritional and exercise patterns, logging meals, workouts and various metrics whilst aiming to encourage healthier decisions. Another alternative might be Myfitnesspal, which ranks amongst the most popular tracking applications. Featuring capabilities such as meal planning, calorie monitoring and exercise programmes - it represents another reliable option. Both applications are available at no cost but also provide premium subscriptions for users requiring extra support and features. The Simple App boasts an impressive 4.3 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot, based on over 30,000 reviews. One user said: "I love this app because it's so easy and fun checking my progress and making sure I am doing it right." Another person said: "Honestly I wasn't really excited about doing any kind of exercise or healthy eating but this app has made it so simple and easy and it's actually kind of fun. If you know me, I don't do diets or exercise at all, so that says a lot for this app." Not every app or fitness regime will be for everyone and some others did share opposing views on Simple. One user said: "It's too busy, simplify the app." Another said: "I don't understand it 100%." "The customer service response time was amazingly fast," another user said. "They were very helpful, very quick. Thank your team for being great." For those interested in giving the Simple app try, there's currently a promotional offer of 60% off using the code REACH60.

Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, and more UK supermarket recall warnings

Recalls have been issued on products for a variety of reasons, including metal being found in a a breakfast food that may contain insects, and packaging errors resulting in foods presenting serious risks to those with allergies. We have rounded up the ongoing product recalls you should be aware of. If you have bought any of the items mentioned below, you need to be aware of these potential health risks. Unilever has recalled a number of Wall's Mini Milk ice cream lollies because they contain allergens not included on the label in English. The strawberry and chocolate flavours are affected by the recall, which has been issued because they contain milk not mentioned on the label in English and may also contain nuts (pistachios), peanuts and soya, making them a health risk to anyone with a milk or nut allergy.

'For further information and a refund, please contact the Unilever careline team at ukicare@ Aldi has issued a recall and apologised to its customers as one of its products poses a potential health risk to shoppers. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned any Aldi customers who have purchased the affected food not to eat it. The supermarket chain is recalling its Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter because it contains milk which is not mentioned on the label. The packaging error means the product is a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy or an intolerance to milk or milk constituents. Tuesday 24 June 2025 - Aldi recalls Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter because of undeclared milk #FoodAllergy The affected potatoes come in packs of 385g and have use by dates up to and including July 1. A spokesman for the FSA said: 'Aldi is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. 'The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

For more information, please visit or call customer services on 0800 042 0800.' An Aldi spokesman added: 'We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation.' The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is warning parents not to let children under the age of 7 drink iced slushie drinks this summer if they contain glycerol. An FSA board meeting this week endorsed the advice and called for clear communication to parents and carers to help manage glycerol intake in young children. The FSA said: 'Slush ice drinks can contain glycerol as a substitute for sugar to prevent them from freezing solid. 'Consumed at high levels, glycerol can cause very low blood sugar levels and unconsciousness in young children. The FSA Board meeting begins today at 9am in Birmingham. Here's the agenda and meeting papers for today's meeting: Here's where you can watch it live: 1/2 'Businesses are advised to only add glycerol at the minimum quantity technically necessary to achieve the slush effect. 'While glycerol is found in some other foods, it is added at much lower quantities than in slush ice drinks.' Lidl is recalling one of its products because it may contain pieces of metal. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned anyone who has purchased the recalled item not to eat it. The recall affects Lidl's Harvest Basket Hash Browns. The impacts hash browns come in packs of 750g, have a best before date of May 24, 2027, and a batch code of 5144L. Thursday 12 June: @LidlGB recalls Harvest Basket Hash Browns because they may contain pieces of metal #FoodAlert An FSA spokesman said: 'Lidl GB is recalling the above product. A point of sale notice will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product. 'This notice explains to customers why the product is being recalled and tells them what to do if they have bought the product. 'If you have bought the above product, do not eat it.

A Lidl spokesman added: 'If you have bought the above product we advise you not to eat it. 'Customers are asked to return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be given. 'We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.' Shoppers who purchased some Dubai-style chocolate products have been warned the food may not meet Food Standards Agency (FSA) standards. Some of the imported Dubai-style products could pose a risk to consumers with allergies, the food safety watchdog warned. Those with food allergies should be careful when buying the popular chocolate as some imported products may not be intended for sale in the UK and could lack a full ingredients list or allergen labelling, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said. The watchdog said it had identified a number of products that posed a health risk to consumers with allergies. Some of these products may also contain additives and colours which are not allowed on the UK market, it added. The FSA said it was surveying and sampling the products to work out the scale of the issue, and working with allergy charities in the meantime to raise awareness of the risk with consumers. It said that 'most' Dubai-style chocolate available in UK shops was safe. The FSA said: 'If in doubt, don't buy it and report any concerns to your local authority.' By law, labels must list all ingredients and clearly highlight any of the 14 regulated allergens. The FSA advised consumers to look out for labelling details to check whether a product is intended for sale here. By law, products made to UK standards should have labels in English containing the name of the food – for example, milk chocolate with pistachio paste filling – a list of ingredients with allergens emphasised, the weight of the food in grams and a best before or use by date. Labels must also include the name and address of the UK or EU business responsible for the product information. If the food is not from the UK or EU, the name and address of the importer must be included. Multiple Jolly Rancher sweets sold in the UK have been recalled as they contain products that make them 'unsafe to eat' and they do not comply with UK laws, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned. Four Jolly Rancher products have been recalled, as the FSA has told anyone who has bought them not to eat them. The affected products are the Jolly Rancher Hard Candy, Jolly Rancher 'Misfits' Gummies, Jolly Rancher Hard Candy Fruity 2 in 1, and the Jolly Rancher Berry Gummies. The recall covers all pack sizes, batch codes, and best before dates of the sweets listed above. They contain Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons, (MOAH), and Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons, (MOSH), making them unsafe to eat. Wednesday 11 June 2025. Food Alert "For Action": To Consumers who have purchased and Food Businesses who have purchased and sold Jolly Rancher products manufactured by The Hershey Company #FoodAlert The FSA said: 'For consumers, don't buy them, and if you've eaten these products, there should be no immediate cause for concern, as food safety risk is low, but don't eat any more. 'These products contain mineral oil, which isn't allowed in food in the UK and may pose a food safety risk if consumed regularly over a sustained period of time.' The FSA said that the Hershey Company, who produces Jolly Rancher sweets, had been working collaboratively to remove unsafe products from the UK markets. It added that while the parent company had decided to stop supplying the UK market in 2024 some businesses still continued to import the products for sale in the UK. An FSA spokesman said: 'Although the levels consumers are exposed to are likely to be low, they may present a risk to health because they contain Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons, (MOAH), and Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons, (MOSH). 'Consumption of the affected sweets is of toxicological concern, especially in younger age groups and where consumers eat a lot of the products or eat them regularly. 'MOAH can cause damage to DNA and has the potential to increase the risk of cancer, particularly if consumed in high quantities over a prolonged period of time. MOAH is a genotoxic carcinogen, therefore no exposure is without risk to human health. 'We are asking enforcement authorities to make immediate contact with businesses who may have been supplied with or received the affected products, and to take action to ensure that the non-compliant and potentially unsafe products are withdrawn from the market and where sold at retail, recalled. 'We are also asking the Local Authorities to inform the FSA of product recall and withdrawal actions. 'If you have bought any of the above products, do not eat them. Instead, dispose of them at home. 'If you are concerned, notify your Trading Standards department or environmental health department in the local authority you purchased it.' Popular chocolate bars sold at a number of UK supermarkets have been recalled as they may contain 'small stones'. Tony's Chocolonely is recalling certain batches of two of its chocolate products because of the 'potential presence of foreign objects'. The chocolate bars which may contain the small stones are the Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar 180g and the Everything Bar 180g. Only certain product codes of the chocolate are being recalled. (Image: Tony's Chocolonely) These are the Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar codes and best before dates affected: These are the Everything Bar codes and best before dates affected: A spokesman for Tony's Chocolonely UK said: 'We are extremely sorry to have to issue this recall, and for the inconvenience that this will cause people who purchased these products. 'Whilst the probability of a product being affected is low, we always put the safety and satisfaction of our consumers first and that is why we have made the decision to recall these products. 'We apologise to consumers and our partners for the impact this will have. 'This recall only affects these specific products and lot codes. All other Tony's Chocolonely products remain safe to consume and are not impacted. 'Do you have a bar with the impacted lot number(s)? Please don't eat the chocolate. Instead, we kindly ask you that you return the product to the store where you bought it for a refund or replacement.' Tesco has recalled one of its products from supermarket shelves across the UK because they may pose a health risk to customers. The supermarket giant has recalled one of its Tesco Free From Meal Kits because they contain undeclared soya. The presence of soya, not mentioned on the label, makes them a potential health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya. The affected products are the Tesco Free From Katsu Curry Meal Kit, affecting all products with a best before date up to and including December 12. A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: 'Tesco is recalling the above products from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. 'The company has also issued a recall notice to its customers. 'These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. 'If you have bought the above products do not eat them. Instead, return them to any Tesco store for a full refund. For more information contact Tesco Customer Services on 0800 505 555.' Iceland has issued a 'do not eat' warning to its customers over a product that may contain pieces of plastic. The supermarket is recalling its Iceland Vegetable Lasagne because of the risk of plastic in the dish, making it unsafe to eat. The affected products have best before dates of July 23, 2026, and July 30, 2026. A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency also told anyone who has purchased the dish not to eat it. Wednesday 19 March. Iceland Foods Ltd recalls Iceland Vegetable Lasagne because it may contain pieces of plastic #FoodAlert They said: 'Iceland Foods Ltd is recalling the above product. The company has issued a recall notice to its customers. 'These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. 'If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. For more information, please call 0800 328 0800.' An Iceland spokesman added: 'We are taking the precautionary measure of recalling the dates codes of the above product because it may contain hard pieces of plastic making it unsafe to eat.

A popular breakfast choice sold at Tesco, Ocado, Amazon and other outlets has been recalled because it may contain insects. Rude Health Foods Ltd is recalling its Rude Health Chocolate Crunch Granola because of the possible presence of insects. The affected product is the 400g box of granola with a best before date of October 24. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned anyone who has purchased the granola not to eat it but return it to wherever they bought it for a full refund. Thursday 20 March - @rudehealth recalls Rude Health Chocolate Crunch Granola because of the possible presence of insects #FoodAlert A spokesman said: 'The product listed above might contain insects, which may make them unsafe to eat. 'Rude Health Foods Ltd is recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product. 'These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. 'If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to your local store for a refund. For further information, please contact Rude Health Foods Ltd at hello@ A Rude Health Foods spokesman added: 'No other batches of the chocolate crunch granola or other Rude Health products are affected by this recall. 'If you have bought the above product we advise you do not consumer it. 'We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused to our customers.' If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
