Are you boring in bed? As a top sex expert I know the consequences... these are the 16 things everyone should try if their lovemaking needs a boost
Are you satisfied with your sex life? Recent studies show that Britons are having sex less than once a week on average and fewer than half of those who are sexually active feel physically satisfied. A lack of spontaneity and intimacy, a decline in frequency and sexual boredom are often cited as contributing factors for this dissatisfaction. But there are ways you can switch things up in the bedroom for the better.

Hailey Bieber swears by this French pharmacy sunscreen – and it's now £21
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more French pharmacies stock some of the best skincare staples. From Sienna Miller and Alexa Chung 's 'French girl secret' to great skin (spoiler: it's a £14 retinol that tackles fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation) to a £14 multitasker that's recommended by makeup artists as a makeup primer, makeup remover or even a moisturising face mask; we stock up on a long list of products whenever we're in Paris. And so does Hailey Bieber. Whilst applying her everyday morning skincare routine in the latest episode of Vogue's Beauty Secrets, Bieber revealed she picked up a new favourite facial sunscreen on a recent trip to the capital of France: Isdin's Fotoprotector Fusion Water MAGIC Urban SPF 30. Fotoprotector ISDIN Fusion Water MAGIC Urban SPF 30 £21.30 Shop Offering broad-spectrum protection and blue light filtering, this sunscreen with SPF 30 is formulated with antioxidant-rich ginger root extract to help combat oxidative damage from pollution and screen exposure. It has an ultralight, water-based texture that's oil-free, non-comedogenic, melts into the skin and doesn't irritate the eyes. 'I love sunscreen that's really hydrating and that's going to make your skin glowy. I typically gravitate towards milkier sunscreens, or a really nice tinted sunscreen,' Bieber says in the video. 'I feel like finding the right sunscreen just takes trial and error because one of the things that breaks me out the most is sunscreen.' 'Whenever I go to Paris, or I go to Europe, I love to go to the pharmacy and raid the suncare section because I just think the sunscreens from Europe are so much better than in the US,' she adds. 'They're my favourite. I got this one at the pharmacy when I was in Paris last time and I'm obsessed with it. I wish that I had bought five.' Before she continues with her minimal makeup routine, Bieber applies sunscreen to her hands, a body part many of us forget to shield from the sun. 'When I have leftover [product], I rub it on my hands,' she explains, 'because when you're driving and it's sunny, I just feel like your hands get the brunt of ageing.'

‘Unlimited stay' cruise that people can retire on for £260k launches – with unlimited food, drink & travel all included
THE 'unlimited stay' cruise that people can retire on for £260,000 has launched, offering unlimited food, drink and travel all included in the price tag. The VanDutch 75 is being dubbed one of the sleekest vessels on the water and it's not hard to see why. 6 6 With razor-sharp lines, minimalist interiors and a silhouette that wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi film, the brand-new luxury yacht is officially turning heads. Made for high-speed cruising, the 75-foot beast is powered by twin 1,800hp engines that help it glide through the sea at a rapid 40 knots, which is over 45mph, in case you're wondering. But it's not just what's under the hood that's getting people talking, the interior is just as impressive. We're talking penthouse-on-water vibes, with open-plan living space, Italian-inspired interiors and designer fittings from bow to stern. Inside, there's a full-beam master suite, two additional guest cabins, and separate crew quarters that sleep two. The below-deck setup includes ambient lighting, custom cabinetry and a fully kitted-out kitchen, or "galley", if you're feeling nautical. And this isn't just for sunbathing and sipping rosé. There's a navigation station, a pop-up TV, and a high-end sound system, so you can cruise in full-blown party mode or total peace and quiet. The brand calls it 'a natural evolution of the VanDutch DNA', but we'd call it a floating bachelor pad with Bond-level energy. Prices for the VanDutch 75 are firmly in seven-figure territory, depending on your chosen setup, but if you've got the cash, it's one hell of a way to sail into retirement. When can I retire? IF you're wondering when you can retire, it's best to speak to your pension providers. Firstly, use the government's tool to check your state pension age. Next check retirement ages on workplace pension schemes - this can massively impact your windfall once you enter your golden years. For advice, you can contact The Pensions Advisory Service for free online or on 0800 011 3797. Luxury yachts And it's not the only mega-yacht making headlines this season. The 390ft superyacht Breakthrough, rumoured to belong to billionaire Bill Gates, is also set to make its grand debut at the Monaco Yacht Show this September. The £476million ship has been billed as the first-ever hydrogen-powered yacht, and comes with jaw-dropping features including a cinema, basketball court, hospital, two offices, and enough staterooms to house an entire football team. If Gates really is behind it, he's got competition from Brooklyn Beckham, who was recently spotted sailing into Saint-Tropez aboard his billionaire in-laws' 80-metre yacht, Project X, worth a cool £85million. Meanwhile, his dad David Beckham was moored nearby on his own £16million vessel Seven, which looks like a dinghy by comparison. From sci-fi style yachts to floating mansions with four-storey townhouses tucked inside, it's clear 2025 is the year of the mega boat flex. And with VanDutch leading the charge in design, tech and speed, it might just be time to trade your retirement home for a vessel spot. 6 6 6 6
