Sun safety
'A lot of people get confused by the numbers, such as SPF 30 or SPF 50," said Marc Porcar, CEO of QR Code Generator.
"The SPF rating refers to how much longer you can stay in the sun without burning compared to unprotected skin.
"SPF 30 blocks around 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98%, but only when applied correctly and generously."
He explained that 'even high-SPF sunscreen must be reapplied every two hours, and after swimming or sweating".

For other sun safety tips, he recommended wearing hats and sunglasses, as well as staying hydrated.
"Timing outdoor activities to cooler parts of the day is equally important," Marc said.
Everyone can see the sea of logos but you've got the mind of a tech guru if you can find the odd one out in 10 seconds
'People often assume they're protected just because they're wearing makeup, a T-shirt, or have a full head of hair, but that's rarely enough.
"Most makeup provides only light SPF, around 20, and regular clothing offers surprisingly low protection at 5-9 SPF.
"Even hair only filters a small amount of UV, providing 5-10 SPF at best.
"That's why dedicated sunscreen is essential, especially on the face, neck, ears, and scalp.'
And now, back to our brainteaser - if you're still struggling, we recommend scanning each row of bottles carefully.

My hair's so thin you can see my scalp but miracle £8 product fixes it in seconds, it's an instant confidence boost

A MUM has revealed her top hack for making thin hair look instantly thicker - and it will only cost you £8. Yasmine Fagerson, 31, started suffering from hair loss as a child and found her locks thinned even more when she went on to have kids of her own. 5 Yasmine Fagerson has suffered from hair loss and thinning for 20 years Credit: Tiktok/@yasminefagerson 5 The mum left people stunned after revealing her clever hack to make her hair look fuller Credit: Tiktok/@yasminefagerson As a result, she has been left with very little coverage on the crown of her head which she admits leaves her feeling self-conscious. Although completely natural, and hair thinning are two very common concerns for millions of people across the UK. We can lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, according to the It is not usually something to worry about, but occasionally it can be a sign of a medical condition. Read more in Fabulous These include illness, stress, cancer treatment, weight loss and iron deficiency. The NHS advises to book an appointment with your GP to see if you can get to the cause of it if it is affecting your wellbeing. For mum-of-four Yasmine, from Scotland, hair loss is something she has struggled with for the past two decades. She told Fabulous: "My hair loss journey started when I was 11-years-old due to a stressful event in my life. Most read in Fabulous "My doctor prescribed medical shampoo, but it was still very thin and fine on the top. "Also with three pregnancies it's not exactly helped either with the hair on top." Dani Harmer shares shocking insight into perimenopausal hair loss as she admits she's got bald patches & severe thinning She added: "My hair is healthy and I saw the "Because my natural hair is so dark too it's really obvious that it's thin as you can see my white scalp easily." The brunette beauty, married to Scottish rugby hero Zander Fagerson, has tried root sprays in the past but struggled to find one that would successfully stain her scalp to give the illusion of more hair. Now, however, she has opened up about her clever haircare routine that has given her a major confidence boost. And it's all thanks to the Josh Wood Colour Airbrush Root Spray, which is available in blonde, brown and dark brown. While the product is designed as a "temporary quick fix" to disguise stray greys or strips of regrowth between colouring, Yasmine has found it is also the perfect solution for her thinning hair. She said: "I'm not wanting to cover grey hair, I'm wanting to stain my scalp. Which the Josh Woods root spray is really good at doing. "It's like a dry shampoo kinda texture, I don't even use dry shampoo anymore because my hair doesn't look greasy after using it." 5 Yasmine's tutorial using the miracle root spray proved a huge comfort for others Credit: Tiktok/@yasminefagerson 5 She swears by the bargain product as part of her haircare routine Credit: Tiktok/@yasminefagerson The Josh Woods root spray is priced at £10 on Amazon or just £8 from Boots - with a current buy one, get one half price offer bringing that cost down even more. Yasmine uses the miracle product two to three times a week and only has to stock up once a month. She swears by the root spray for covering her scalp to "hide the fact she has thin hair on the top". And she insists it is both sweat-proof and waterproof if you go swimming. She added: "It lasts for ages, I had to wash my hair multiple times to show how thin I am. I just do a light touch up here and there." Yasmine took to TikTok ( In the clip, she said: "When I tell people I have thin hair on the top, they're always like, no you don't. "This is me out of the shower, I've washed it really well and this is because I normally use root spray to cover my head so I don't look bald. But as you can see from here, that is a very thin head. "So I'm going to do my hair and then I'm going to show you what I do to hide it." 5 Social media users hailed Yasmine's amazing results Credit: Tiktok/@yasminefagerson Yasmine revealed she always dries and straightens her hair as normal, before generously applying the root spray to the thin patch on the top of her head. After she's sprayed it, she uses her hairdryer and a large paddle brush to set the product and style her hair. And the results are incredible, with her locks looking instantly thicker and fuller. "Look how much better that is already. I feel so much more confident and happy with my hair", she gushed. "So yes, that is my insecurity but this little thing helps with it massively. So if anyone else has got this kind of problem, have a wee check out of the root spray because it is amazing. "I normally buy it off Amazon but I actually went to the website this time because they didn't have my colour and I'm using the dark brown for obvious reasons." SOCIAL MEDIA SUPPORT Yasmine's video quickly racked up 11,000 views and proved a huge comfort for other women who struggle with insecurities over their thinning hair. One exclaimed: "WOW would never have known, lots of people suffer with this, myself included." "Looks great, it makes it look so thick", insisted a second. A third wrote: "What a fab tip! Thank you for sharing. I have thinning hair on top too, I believe PCOS has caused mine. I think it's much more common than we think!" A fourth echoed: "Thanks for sharing - I have thin hair on top, so to hide it I usually pull it back to hide, but my sides are very thin too, and can't stand having my hair down." "I have a similar problem and have tried a few things but this looks fab. Your hair always looks so thick so thanks for sharing", added a fifth. Meanwhile, a sixth said: "Thank you for posting this - I have the same problem and just ordered this spray." HAIR LOSS REASONS Jack Merrick-Thirlway, creative director at This type of hair loss can start from teen years and although will be difficult to treat, it can be slowed down if treated immediately. Hormonal imbalances may also cause you to lose hair. Pregnancy and the menopause are two key times when hormonal imbalances can occur, leading to changes in hair thickness. However, chronic stress and certain medications can also contribute to these imbalances. Another hair saboteur is excessive friction. Jacks says those who are wearing a tight ponytail repeatedly may find themselves experiencing hair loss. Finally, using the wrong products or having too many chemical treatments can lead to hair loss. HAIR GROWTH TIPS So, how can we encourage our hair to grow? Jack says that when shopping for new products to help with hair thickness, there are few ingredients to look out for. 'I'd advise looking out for ingredients such as biotin, collagen, amino acids and products containing vitamin B3. These all help strengthen the hair follicles and promote growth. 'That said, if you feel out of your depth, you can also seek advice with your hair stylist.' Be wary of too many chemicals in your styling products as they can exacerbate hair loss - and you should also not wash it too often. 'To ensure your hair stays healthy it is important not to over wash it,' advises Jack. 'Instead try and limit washing your hair to two or three times a week. "Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner to make sure you do not remove any moisture.' Hair expert reveals how to repair damaged hair TINA Farey, Editorial director at Rush Hair, shares her advice… HOW TO RESTORE DAMAGED HAIR Whilst you can't fully reserve the effects of damaged hair, you can stop the problem from growing. Depending on the condition of your hair, I'd recommend getting a trim every six to eight weeks - this will prevent any split ends from travelling further up the hair shaft, which weakens the hair's overall structure and leads to more breakage. Even just an inch of the ends will completely transform the appearance of your hair – trust me. When it comes to products to help restore damaged hair, Goldwell's Rich Repair Treatment Mask is a firm favourite – strengthening damaged locks to be healthy and shiny once again. HOW TO PREVENT DAMAGE My number one tip is to always use a heat protectant – even if you're only blow-drying your hair. Consistent heat styling without one will leave your hair open to heat damage. I'd also recommend refraining from over-washing your hair as this can strip the hair of its natural oils – nobody wants a dry and irritated scalp! And finally, swap your sleek, slick back for a hair down day! They may be in fashion at the moment, but over time all that tension on your strands from being pulled will wreak havoc on your hair follicles – this could lead to thinning and bald spots in areas where the hair is constantly pulled.

Why you should be putting VINEGAR on your leftovers & it could actually make your food taste better too

USING leftovers for a meal the next day is a brilliant way to save on money. But there's a clever way people are making theirs last twice as long, using a staple you've probably already got in your kitchen cupboard - vinegar. Advertisement 2 There's a nifty way you can make your leftover food last twice as long Credit: Getty 2 Adding apple cider vinegar works to prevent bacteria and mould growing on your food, and can even add a nice "tang", the experts said Credit: Getty While white vinegar is commonly used for cleaning purposes, it also works really well for preserving food. "When added in small amounts to cooked dishes, sauces or marinades, it can help limit the growth of bacteria and fungi that cause food to spoil prematurely," the pros at kitchen and bathroom company As well as white vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar as a preservative - with bottles of the liquid selling for as little as £2.07 in local stores. The reason vinegar works so well is because it contains acetic acid, which helps lower the pH level of food - creating an environment in which bacteria and mould struggles to survive. Advertisement Read more Food Hack stories Most notably, this includes harmful microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli, and Salmonella. 'The acid in vinegar makes it harder for bacteria to multiply," the experts added. "It is a simple kitchen tool that can boost the safety of your leftovers without complicated steps." Each vinegar type has its own level of acidity - white and apple cider vinegars have about 5% acetic acid, which is "strong enough to offer mild preservation benefits without making your food taste too sharp". Advertisement Most read in Fabulous To try it yourself, add a teaspoon of vinegar to sauces and dressings before storing, while a splash is sufficient for cooked vegetables. "A splash of white vinegar added to leftover soup or pasta sauce before chilling can help extend freshness without noticeably affecting the flavour," they continued. I made a weeks worth of sandwiches for just 30p - my hack means I have my lunch sorted whenever I need it, people think it's revolting but it saves me money "With grains like rice or quinoa, mixing in a little vinegar-based dressing can discourage microbial growth while adding a subtle tang." Keep your leftovers in an airtight container too - as this helps limit oxygen, whilst the vinegar slows down bacteria growth. Advertisement It's important to remember, however, that while vinegar helps slow down spoilage, it doesn't make food immortal. Leftovers should be eaten within three to four days, and should be put promptly into a fridge with a temperature of below 5 °C. Fridge or cupboard? The essential food storage guide Foods must be stored correctly to keep them fresh and prevent the spread of bacteria. Nutrition expert Birgit Brendel said However, this can compromise the flavour. Storing in ceramic or pottery containers is an alternative that allows for air to flow easily and slow the growth of mould. Robert Morris, managing director of food safety consultants, Complete Food Safety, revealed the best place to store fresh fruit and vegetables. He said salad foods should be stored in the fridge drawer, but away from anything grown in the soil such as carrots, parsnips and beetroot. Tomatoes are an exception to the rule as fridges can alter the natural ripening process and diminish their taste. He also advised against putting avocados and bananas in the fridge as this will cause them to blacken quicker. "It is also important not to rely on vinegar as a substitute for basic food safety — such as reheating thoroughly, cooling cooked food quickly, and never leaving leftovers out at room temperature for more than two hours," they added. "These practices work alongside vinegar's preserving power — not in place of it.

I've lost 5st on Mounjaro – I have zero saggy skin and even went down a shoe size, but there is one bad side effect

A MUM has shed almost 5st in five months thanks to Mounjaro - and revealed it's not only her clothing size that's reduced. Lucy, 37, started taking the weight loss jab in February when she tipped the scales at 16st 10lb.

She's even managed to avoid the loose and saggy skin that has plagued other Mounjaro users thanks to a regular exercise regime. And she no longer craves greasy takeaways or junk food. Lucy - a full-time carer for her children, two of whom have additional needs - told Fabulous: "I had been trying to lose weight for years, but struggled to lose more then 10lbs. Advertisement "At Christmas it reached the point I was a size 22 and clothes were tight. This is when I started doing research on Mounjaro as I had seen online amazing results. "I didn't have a specific target weight. I wanted to be a size 12/14 but I have no desire to be really skinny as I do like being curvy. "I am very open and everyone knows I am on Mounjaro, a lot of my friends are too. And we support each others journeys." Mounjaro, which is known as the King Kong of weight loss jabs, works by suppressing the ­appetite and making people feel fuller for longer.

Recalling her journey so far, Lucy said: "I perhaps didn't do what most people do and move up doses every four weeks.

"I attempted the 5mg but I didn't like the amount of suppression it gave, I could barely eat, and that's not the mindset I want. "I want to have slight suppression so that I am making my own choice what to eat. "I am back on the 2.5mg and using it as a maintenance dose, but do plan to stop after the summer holidays and maintain on my own."

Lucy documents her Mounjaro journey on TikTok ( While she says her experience has been overwhelmingly positive, she has had side effects including sickness and sore heads. She was also forced to chop her locks into a bob and start taking vitamins due to hair loss. Advertisement But it's a lesser-known side benefit that left her stunned on her weight loss journey. What to do if you lose too much weight too quickly whilst on Mounjaro IF you're losing too much weight too quickly while on Mounjaro, it's important to take action to avoid potential health risks like muscle loss, malnutrition, dehydration, and fatigue. Here's what you can do: Evaluate Your Caloric Intake Mounjaro reduces appetite, which can make it easy to eat too little. If you're losing weight too fast (more than two to three lbs per week after the initial adjustment period), try: Tracking your food intake to ensure you're eating enough calories (apps like MyFitnessPal can help). Increasing protein intake to preserve muscle mass (aim for 0.6–1g per pound of body weight). Adding healthy fats and complex carbs (e.g., avocados, nuts, whole grains) for balanced energy. Adjust Your Dosage (With Doctor's Approval) If your weight loss is too rapid or causing side effects, your doctor may: Pause dose increases or lower your dosage. Adjust your treatment plan to stabilise your weight loss. Strength Training & Exercise To prevent muscle loss: Incorporate resistance training at least two to three times per week. Stay active with low-impact exercises like walking or yoga. Hydrate & Manage Electrolytes Drink enough water (Mounjaro can reduce thirst). Electrolytes matter - Consider adding magnesium, sodium, and potassium if you feel weak or fatigued. Monitor for Malnutrition & Deficiencies Rapid weight loss can cause vitamin/mineral deficiencies (especially B12, iron, and electrolytes). If you experience: Fatigue, hair loss, or dizziness, ask your doctor about supplements. Consider Further Medical Guidance If your weight loss is excessive or causing health concerns, speak with your healthcare provider. They might adjust your dosage, diet, or exercise plan to help stabilise your weight loss. "My shoe size has changed which is bizzare", she revealed. "My feet have got skinnier. I usually wear a size six but I have found recently my trainers feel a bit loose on me." And it turns out she's not alone, as her revelation sparked similar admissions from other Mounjaro users. Advertisement One said: "I've came down a whole shoe size lol ! It's not just you." A second wrote: "Started my weight loss journey at 26st 11 I was a size 7. I'm now 11st and a size 4.5/5." "Yep, I've gone from a 5 to a 4.5. Bought shoes today", revealed a third. A fourth added: "I'm 25kg down since January and I've gone from a size 7 to a size 5.5." Advertisement Meanwhile, a fifth chimed in: "I went down a shoe size after I lost 6 stone! it's definitely a thing." For anyone considering Mounjaro, Lucy recommends a "slow and steady" approach and guzzling down at least two litres of water a day.
