Botox In A Bottle? This Is What Celebrities Do To Look Younger
I think of facial moisturisers as the bread of butter of the beauty industry. Everyone needs one, there are different ones for every skin type and budget, and most importantly, they can work wonders. A cornerstone of any beauty routine, whether you're a striped back minimalist or a skincare savant, the best moisturisers will nourish, protect and often make a brilliant base for make-up.
But if you're really lucky, they'll treat, too. And it appears And Just Like That 's Kristin Davis is certainly privy to that knowledge. In a rare moment of beauty influencing, the actor took to TikTok over the weekend to reveal her current 'favourite product': the L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Laser Triple Action Anti-Ageing Day Cream, which you can snap up on sale right now for just £15 (usually £29.99).
'You know, I've gotten older and I've tried a lot on my face you guys, some of it didn't really help out that much, so I've decided I'm just gonna stick with what works,' Davis explained. 'One of my favourite products is L'Oréal Revitalift.'
Davis admits to overthinking her skincare routine and her latest pivot to the hardworking moisturiser has helped her to 'keep it simple', which she says, 'makes it easy to show up as me, no filters needed'.
Part of the new Revitalift Laser Age-Correcting Routine range, this cream is an upgrade to L'Oréal's iconic Triple-Action Cream. As Davis points out in the video, the new iteration is loaded with collagen-boosting pro-retinol to resurface lines and texture, micro and macro hyaluronic acid for replumping, and radiance-giving vitamin C to help even out skin tone. The 2025 newbie has also been set apart thanks to its inclusion of Argireline™, a well-loved combination of three smoothing peptides that has been inspired by the process of Botox, but it also strengthens skin structure and biostimulates collagen production.
It's not a surprise Davis is obsessed with the every day skin nourisher, it combines a cocktail of actives that are mostly available in dermatologist-prescribed skin treatments, and offers up the kind of results you get from popular skin aesthetic treatments. Elisabeth Bouhadana, L'Oréal Paris global scientific director, explains, 'At L'Oréal Paris, partnering with our international board of dermatologists, we translate aesthetic dermatology advances into cutting-edge skincare accessible to all. Mirroring dermatological procedures combining HA fillers and radiance boosters, we've boosted our Revitalift Laser formulas — already packed with gold-standard derm-actives — with the transformative power of peptides, essential in treatments like botox and microneedling.'

Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I usually leave the treatment portion of my skincare routine to high-tech serums and prescriptive topicals, but on days where I'm giving abrasive treatments a break and still want to keep my skin in check, I've reached for this. It contains gold-standard ingredients that come highly rated by the experts - namely, pro-retinol, which occurs naturally, is milder and more stable than retinol, and is the most abundant form of vitamin A found in the skin, as well as vitamin C and peptides - which have collectively helped to quickly lend me a brighter, plump and healthier-looking complexion all while being gentle on my often reactive and sensitive skin. Outside of its impressive formula, it feels incredibly good on the skin. Rich, but not greasy, heavy or clogging, it glides over comfortably leaving behind cushiony velvety veil that packs a good amount of glow. I'm not surprised Davis has stripped back her routine to this one simple cream.'

Adam Curtis can see your future
Adam Curtis used to make TikToks but doesn't want to talk about them. 'I did quite a lot of TikTok, privately,' he says, 'just under another name. They're probably out there somewhere…' His head rests in his hand and his elbow on the chair next to him, the two of us among pink flowers at the kitchen table in the Soho townhouse where he works. He looks at me and repeats: 'They're private.' For 30 years Curtis has been making documentaries for the BBC about how Britain became a sad place, or, in his own words: 'What happened after the Cold War, mixed in with a deeper sense of… I think melancholy. A sense we were once powerful.' Shifty is his new film. Outwardly the five episodes chart the breakdown of society's collective structures from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair. Really they are Curtis's attempt at tracing the origins of a strange emotion that he says has become general in Britain, a feeling that 'there is a big thing going on behind the surface'. 'I think there's something new going on inside people's heads and no one has got the language to describe it,' he tells me. It is this emotion, Curtis believes, that caused 'Leave' to win the Brexit referendum and explains Reform's popularity. He is describing a sort of revolutionary feeling, I think. If you go back and watch previous Curtis documentaries, flick between them, do an Adam Curtis to Adam Curtis, you realise that they mash together quite neatly, and that his work has a single ambition: to hold this anxious spirit to the sun, twirl it around in his hand and observe it from different angles. So Shifty is an origin story. Curtis says that during the 1980s and 1990s we privatised and financed our way into nasty self-centredness. People felt unmoored and politicians became unable to hold communities together. Curtis leaves it to the viewer to draw the easy line to today's politics. In one of the final scenes in the series, Peter Mandelson visits the Millennium Dome, which is then under construction. 'It's marvellous, absolutely marvellous,' he tells Tony Blair on a phone call. 'You'll think it's incredible, believe me. There's a zone with lots of emblems of Britain in it. I suddenly saw a photograph of a plate of toad-in-the-hole. I loved toad-in-the-hole when I was little!' The Blair government, and every government since, keeps giving us more toad-in-the-hole. Curtis's films are always about the past because he, like the politicians he describes, is unable to define the present. 'There are certain aspects of modern power that you cannot illustrate,' he says. 'And they make me cry, sometimes literally. I'm scrabbling for shots. I'll tell you what they are. They're computers. They govern our lives, but nothing happens. And that expands to things like HR because that's just men and women in glass offices doing keystrokes which will govern your life and destroy your life or whatever. But there's nothing there. Finance. I've gone mad sometimes looking for shots. The normal solution for a television journalist is to have a reporter gazing at a screen with the glow on their face musing to themselves. And I would not do that. You have to find another way.' 'This really gets me,' he continues. 'I feel like so much of the modern world is just not being recorded, got at.' I ask if he really cries about it. 'Out of frustration, yeah. Just like… 'Oh for fuck's sake! How do I illustrate this?' I can't do another shot of a server farm. I just can't.' Curtis says that as 'modern power' has become unillustratable, so has 'the self'. He says that in the BBC archive footage, somewhere in 1997 or 1998, people start to speak and carry themselves in unnatural ways when they know they are in front of a camera. This is before social media and reality television. He can't explain it. We also, obviously, spend a decreasing amount of time interacting with the physical world. 'Isn't that fascinating?' Curtis says. 'In the age where people are exposing themselves more and more and more and more, it's… [he's referring to 'the self'] not there.' I am aware that all of this talk of emotions and feelings and stories and the self sounds mysterious and perhaps overthought, but something in it is true when it comes from Curtis. 'You know that's not right, you know it from yourself,' he will say in conversation. Curtis used to narrate his documentaries, but doesn't anymore. His voice actually got deeper with every new series, until it vanished completely in his 2022 film Russia 1985-1999: TraumaZone, which is about the end of the Soviet Union. In his films and in person Curtis does not make arguments, he summons moods. He also refuses to use the word 'vibe'. A still from TraumaZone (Adam Curtis / BBC) 'Dominic Cummings got in touch with me after my Russia thing,' Curtis says. 'He was in Russia during that time. I just found him very funny. I like his snark, and I like the fact that he realises that the bubble is not good. I respect him for that.' I ask whether politicians have asked him to help them portray their vision of the country to the population. He says he has been contacted by politicians, and that they 'are always after something', but that 'no one has ever asked me to help them.' People speculate about Curtis's own politics, and he makes it very clear to me that he is not a liberal. 'Never trust a liberal,' he says. 'The one thing the patrician liberals can't examine is themselves. They really cannot do it. I find it absolutely astonishing. After Brexit, they didn't examine their role in it. They did not examine any role they might have played.' Curtis says his views on politics are born out of north Kent, where he comes from. 'It's… What's the word… Independent,' he says. 'That's the polite way of putting it.' Can you explain that a little more, I ask. 'No,' he replies. Fair enough. 'I challenge anyone to say what my politics are,' he says later, 'because quite frankly I haven't got any. I'm a completely modern creature, like you I'm sure, and a lot of my friends. I react to events as they come along. You are aware that power is unequal and you shouldn't cry about that fact.' 'We might be living through a revolution, but we don't know it' We go to the study where Curtis edits. There is some Lana Del Rey merch, two monitors and a mess of hard-drives. (The townhouse is not his, by the way. It is owned by a bohemian lady. She lets him work here.) 'Every now and then, I wonder whether it's going to crash,' he says, nodding at the mess. 'Well, I mean, it does crash… But it's going to properly crash. And then I'm fucked.' He says that the hard part of his job is coming up with 'the idea and the stories'. It took him about nine months to come up with the introduction to Bitter Lake, which is the best sequence of any of his films, and ten minutes to make it. Curtis finds editing is easy and satisfying, and does it late at night. 'There's a whole tradition, and it goes so deep, of editors, probably because they're not really in control and they want their bit of control, they go: 'We've got to cut a frame off… here'. I know that no one notices that. What they really notice is whether it's drawing them in, whether they're going along with you for the ride.' Because he edits his documentaries himself, he costs the BBC very little. Shifty cost £17,500 to make. Curtis's next documentary might be about America, he says, but it could also be about 'living in a society where a lot of things look normal but actually behind them they're not.' We are currently, he says, 'in a sort of cosplay of everything. And behind it, there's this seething mass.' 'We might be living through a revolution, but we don't know it because it's happening already inside millions of people's heads. It'll suddenly burst through to us: 'OH MY FUCK!''

Check your rare coins for penny design worth eye-watering £200k
There's a possibility your coin stash is worth an absolute fortune – but only if you own this unique penny. One avid collector shared more information on his TikTok Your coin collection is about to make you richer. It's no secret certain rare coins are worth more than others. There's often change which could make you a lot of money, especially if you take it to auction or flog it on eBay. Now did you know there's a penny estimated to be worth £200,000? Over on TikTok, one avid collector revealed the "intriguing" coin which could be lingering in your pocket. The @coincollectingwizard boasts a mega 294,000 followers where he shares the most unique designs to look out for. Just previously, he mentioned the valuable change that could make you rich. And just a few days ago, he shared the £200,000 coin from 1952 which is the "rarest proof penny of the entire series of copper and bronze pennies". In the video, which scooped 500 likes and dozens of comments, he said: "This penny is estimated to sell for £200,000 at auction, do you have one? This is a UK penny from 1952, this intriguing proof coin is the rarest proof penny of the entire series of copper and bronze pennies." He continued: "The existence of this unique 1952 proof penny was not known publicly until its initial appearance at numismatic auction in October of 1997, some 45 years after it was struck. The British numismatic world was astonished to see this coin appear and in proof quality as this was not known to exist. "The 1952 proof penny remains an enigma as the only unique proof striking of a pre-decimal penny of the 20th century. It is perhaps understandable that George VI in 1952 proof penny remains a unique piece as the King died very early that year passing away on the February 6. It will go up for auction and is estimated to reach £200,000 if not more." Since it was posted on social media, it garnered a lot of attention from collectors who claimed to own the same coin. Others described the design as "nice", while others asked for advice on how to flog the coin. According to experts, the 1952 penny is a unique and highly valuable coin. Although no ordinary circulation pennies were struck in that year, a single proof penny was made. But it was not known to the public until 1997, where it appeared at auction. And today, this coin is dubbed the "numismatic unicorn". It's popular among collection due to its unique status and the fact it was struck during a period of royal transition – when King George VI died and Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne. It features a profile of King George VI on one side with the words "GEORGIVS VI D: G: BR: OMN: REX FIDEI DEF". Meanwhile, on the reverse the words "ONE PENNY 1952" is written with Britannia seated. Just last year, the same coin turned heads among collectors where it was also worth the same price tag. Think you have one of these coins in your wallet? Leave us a comment below!

Flight attendant uncovers one 'disgusting' thing passengers skip before boarding
A veteran flight attendant has taken to TikTok to voice her biggest pet peeves, including one thing she thinks travellers should "go to prison" for A flight attendant is calling out passengers who break one etiquette rule. Taking to social media to air her frustration, she says passengers should not fly at all if they commit this one faux pas. On her TikTok account, cabin crew member Cher (@cherdallas), says she thinks travellers should 'go to prison' for not showering before getting on a plane. According to Cher, who is a six-year flight attendant, these are the worst kind of travellers. 'There is zero reason that I should be smelling a stranger's body odour Wash yourself. You are going to be shoulder to shoulder with strangers. Show up clean or don't come at all.' In the comments, one user agreed, saying: 'A shower plus clean clothes together will stop the stench. If it's transatlantic with a layover, change into a different clean shirt and use a wet paper towel on your torso in the bathroom stall.' However some users were quick to point out that travel issues like cancelled flights and running through the airport might be the reason some show up less than fresh. One user wrote: 'The body odor thing is absolute. However if they are on this flight [because] another was cancelled or something and they had to sleep at the airport maybe hand out body wipes'. Another chimed in: 'Ever had to run 20 minutes to a connecting flight with luggage in tow? You'll sweat, my dear, and there may be an odour.' To this Cher says there is an easy fix. 'Wear deodorant ?? It's pretty simple, it works in a preventative way,' she wrote in response. But body odour isn't the only thing that Cher thinks should be '100 percent against the law' on planes. She lists a number of pet peeves that passengers are guilty of, including one that's sure to annoy most passengers: playing videos or music out loud from their device. According to Cher: 'It is no one else's problem except yours that you didn't charge you AirPods or you didn't bring headphones. 'Why are you making it everyone else's problem around you?' She continues: 'I don't care if your kid is gonna cry that they can't listen to cocomelon on full blast. That is less annoying than hearing it off of their iPad.' Her other gripe is actually aimed at flight attendants, not passengers. She calls out her fellow colleagues for making 'a bunch of unnecessary announcements'. She said while she understands that the profession draws in extroverted people who like meeting new people, talking can be done in-person instead of over the speaker system. That said, she acknowledges that not all announcements are unnecessary. 'There are basic ones that we are required to make. I simply don't agree with putting on a whole production unless you are on super fun afternoon flight.'
