Admittedly £500 is still a lot to spend on a new skincare buy, but think of the FAQ 202 Smart Silicone LED Face Mask as an investment piece.

It promises to reduce wrinkles by 32%, sebum by 18%, and acne by 48%, all while firming, rejuvenating and repairing the skin.
Created by skin tech powerhouse Foreo, the FAQ 202 Smart Silicone LED Face Mask in unlike others on the market which feature only red and/or green and blue light therapy. My go-to boasts seven different wavelengths of LED light and Near Infrared (also known as the ideal wavelength) to penetrate deep beneath the skin's surface to target a range of concerns. For instance, red light combats wrinkles, unevenness, and increases collagen production, while yellow light encourages lymphatic drainage and blue light to targets acne-causing bacteria. As someone who has dealt with acne for over a decade I was keen to see how much different this mask would make to the latter and I'm pleased to report I've seen a noticeable difference.
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'Having used it for the best part of two years, perhaps not as consistently as I'd hoped, I'm now a devotee – so much so, I keep it on my bedside table. While I still get breakouts, the mask has helped to calm the inflammation that comes with acne and helps my skin to heal post-breakout - I feel like it has toned and brightened my skin too. I use the blue, cyan and white light functions to target my problem areas - I love how precise I can be with this. Another win? Comfort levels. It is much more lightweight than other LED masks I have tried out and although it looks bulky in a selfie, it's comparatively slim and feels like a second skin when it's on. And it's wireless, so I can walk around the house and go about my business without being tethered to a plug socket. I've never stuck to an at-home device as religiously as this one, and that is something in itself - I put that down to the ease of use and results - there's no better motivation than good results.' 1.

Budget £23 smartwatch branded a 'great Apple and Samsung alternative' by shoppers
A smartwatch is the ideal gadget for carrying out a range of tasks from the ease of the wearer's wrist, including monitoring activity levels and heart rate. However, with so many different watches on the market, it can be hard to know how to get the best value for money. While many can cost hundreds of pounds, those looking for a budget-friendly alternative could look at the Soudorv smartwatch, which is available on Amazon for £23.74. Compatible with both Apple and Android devices, the watch features a 1.91-inch HD screen that can be customized with more than 200 watch faces. It features everything you expect from a smartwatch, including health monitoring, Bluetooth calling, a built-in microphone, and HD speaker. As well as the ability to read and send messages from apps including Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. According to the Amazon item description, it can be charged in two hours and will run for between five and seven days on one charge, or up to 30 days on standby. Suitable for both men and woman, the Soudorv smart watch weighs 35g and is 11mm thick, and currently boasts a 4.6 out of five rating on Amazon, with 135 reviews. Alternatives available include the Fitbit Inspire 3 Fitness Tracker, currently available on Argos for £59.99. Also compatible with Apple and Android devices, this smart watch can run up to 10 days on one two-hour charge, and monitors a number of health metrics. Weighing 21.3g with a 0.6-inch screen, it's a smaller, more lightweight alternative. It can't, however, be used to make phone calls or send and receive messages. The Samsung Galaxy Watch7 is also available through Sky for £9 per month on a 36-month contract. It features health and exercise monitoring, and can be used to make and receive calls and messages, but is not compatible with Apple devices. It features a 1.3 inch screen, and weighs 28.8g, and runs up to 30 hours on one charge, or 40 hours on standby. The Soudorv smart watch currently boasts a 4.6 out of five rating on Amazon, with 135 reviews. One reviewer said: If you're looking for a budget-friendly smartwatch that covers all the basics like: fitness tracking, sleep, steps, heart rate, and phone alerts; this is a great pick. "It's stylish enough for both men and women, and is reliable enough to become part of your daily routine. I like this alternative to an Apple or Samsung watch, if you don't have one, and you like monitoring your vitals while working out." Another happy customer wrote: "I've been using the Soudorv Smartwatch for a couple of days now, and I'm honestly impressed by how much it offers at such an affordable price. The display is large, bright, and easy to read - even outdoors. "It tracks my steps accurately, monitors my heart rate and sleep quality, and even reminds me to move if I've been sitting too long. The sleep tracker has been helpful in giving me a better understanding of my rest patterns." But one reviewer said it was 'a bit chunky' as they said: "It's quite thick on the wrist, which made it uncomfortable to wear."

The 'miracle in a bottle' Nivea anti-wrinkle serum is said to 'reverse skin age in two weeks'
This anti-ageing serum has been crafted with a break-through ingredient after 15 years of scientific research. The world of anti-ageing skincare is packed with lotions and potions. More choice is a bit of a double-edged sword, as that means it can be hard to find one that actually works. However, it looks like Nivea has cracked the secret to "youthful, plumped" skin with its Cellular Epigenetics Age Rewind Face Serum that costs £34.99 for a 30ml on Amazon and Boots. Formulated after 15 years of research, this serum has been crafted with break-through ingredient Epicelline, an ingredient in epigenetics science that is said to "rewind skin age in two weeks." It does so by 'reactivating' older skin cells' youth functions through patented age technology, making them act more like the younger versions of themselves, leading to a "100 percent proven more youthful appearance." That's not all, it also contains three types of hyaluronic acid to help hydrate the skin, targeting 10 signs of ageing including wrinkles, firmness, radiance, moisture, elasticity and plumpness. It's not the only product backed by science, as Boots No7 Future Renew Serum boasts the world's first peptide technology to "reverse" the signs of ageing, with a 50ml costing £47.95. Another powerful, yet proven to work, product on the market is Medik8's Crystal Retinal range that is priced from £45. Using the brand's patented vitamin A derivative, it is said to act "11 times faster" than regular retinol. As for the Nivea Epigenetics Serum, it doesn't currently have any reviews on Amazon, but we have spotted it with two five-star reviews on the Boots website. One shopper said: "I very rarely leave a review but this is a miracle in a bottle. I am over 50 and have tried many many lotions and potions to help with ageing and over the years I've spent a lot. "But this little bottle is amazing. I have literally used it 3 days so far and I can see a noticeable difference. This is now my new go to serum. Amazing." The second read: "Absolutely love this product and the texture when applying it onto the skin. It is super lightweight and leaves my skin feeling plump and hydrated after the first use. I am excited to see further results as I continue to use the product." While we haven't spotted any negative reviews, it is worth noting that, unlike a few other Amazon purchases, it is not available for next day delivery, with purchases taking a couple of days to arrive. Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it." Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115. On Trustpilot, quite a few beauty enthusiasts have more mixed opinions on the skincare brand in general. One shopper who left a three-star review did urge the firm to "revise" its range of products. They added: "They didn't help me to moisturise my face even if it's states that the cream is moisturising, lol. Nevertheless, I should pay homage to this company as it has a vast line of different products." Meanwhile, a few others did leave the company quite a few negative comments, with stating "formula changes" to their favourite products, such as the Nivea Crème, and customer service as reasons for their feedback.

Flies will stay away from your houseplants if you make two changes watering routine
Fungus gnats are a common pest that can be found in the soil of houseplants, and they can be a real nuisance. Luckily, there are a couple of simple changes you can make to your watering routine to keep them at bay. Flies buzzing around your houseplants are more than just an irritation - they're often a sign of deeper issues. Spotting fungus gnats on your plants is usually straightforward, and if you don't tackle the issue, these flies could escalate into a larger problem at home. These tiny, sluggish insects are commonly found near the soil surface, where they lay eggs that can hatch into larvae in favourable conditions. Warm, damp environments are ideal for these pests, transforming your plants into their perfect breeding site. I rid my house plants of fungus gnats in one week with these cheap Amazon buys Brits urged to take house plants into the garden and do one simple thing When the larvae hatch, they munch on organic material in the soil, and sometimes, they might even harm the roots of young plants. This is why a specialist has offered some watering advice that's crucial for those aiming to eliminate them or reduce their numbers if they've already taken over, reports the Express. Gardening and plants guru Calum Maddock from suggests one of the top methods to disrupt their habitat is to "keep the top couple of inches of your plant's soil dry." Fungus gnats thrive in constantly wet conditions, so letting the topsoil layer dry out can deter them significantly. Nonetheless, before trying this tactic, it's vital to check that your plant can handle this level of dryness in the soil. The second alteration addresses the issue directly at its origin. Rather than hydrating from above, "set your plant in a container or saucer of water when it looks like it needs a drink." This technique guarantees that the moisture gets to the roots without drenching the topsoil, thus deterring gnats from laying eggs. After roughly 20-30 minutes, it's crucial to "discard any water from the container that has not been absorbed by the plant." It's vital when employing this method to ensure you don't leave the pot in stagnant water for too long, as this could lead to further problems.
