Dentist-recommended Oral-B Toothbrush that leaves teeth now has over 50% off
When it comes to oral hygiene, we all know that an electric toothbrush is the fastest and most efficient way to keep your pearly whites clean and healthy, and is the most common way to keep up your oral hygiene to a dentist-approved standard. It's not only more effective than manual brushing, but it also allows you to perform thousands more strokes per brush than you could achieve manually.
However, electric toothbrushes can be a bit pricey, which is why bargains like this one from Amazon are the perfect chance to save some dosh and upgrade your oral hygiene routine at home. At the moment, this Oral-B iO2 Electric Toothbrush is up for grabs with a 55% discount, reducing the price from £100 to £44.98, saving you nearly £60.
The Oral-B iO2 Night Black Electric Toothbrush promises to make your teeth up to 100% cleaner than manual brushing, and features a dentist-approved round brush head that lets you reach those tricky spots you can't effectively reach with a standard manual brush. It also has a two-minute timer that alerts you every 30 seconds to switch your brushing area, ensuring you don't miss any areas and can achieve the most thorough clean every time.
For those with sensitive gums, this electric toothbrush includes an automatic gum pressure sensor that slows down the speed and flashes red when you press too hard, while still being tough on food particles and plaque build-up. You can also choose from three different intensity levels: extra gentle, gentle, and daily clean, to cater to your teeth's needs.
The toothbrush's one-touch button makes it easy to use without difficult and irritating controls, which has been praised by some shoppers as "a benefit" when it comes to getting a simple yet effective clean. What's more, this brush boasts a quiet sound, that lets you get that dentist-like brush in the mornings without waking anyone up, and a long-lasting battery life that shoppers have said can last "up to two weeks" without needing a recharge, making it ideal for bathrooms without an available plug socket for it's charging stand.
You can choose from five different colours, including pink, green, and white, though this major £55 discount is only available for some hues, so pick wisely.
Amazon shoppers who have secured this cleaning gem can't stop singing its praises, with thousands of 5-star reviews flooding in. One thrilled customer raves: "Bought recently, as I have braces and I am astounded by how good this electric toothbrush is, as a previous manual brusher I have noticed vast improvement in the cleanliness of my teeth and they feel cleaner throughout the day. It has timing to vibrate when i have done enough in one quadrant in my mouth and is easy to use with different modes such as daily clean, soft etc. The colour looks slick and has a good battery life alongside adjustable speeds would definitely recommend."
Another buyer beams: "Great bit of kit so far. Haven't needed to recharge it yet since I started using it and I've used it quite a few times. Cleans my teeth so well, I went straight back on here and bought another for my son. I've noticed my teeth are smoother and clean longer than when I used a manual brush. Easy to use - one press for on and straight to higher powered setting, second press for lower power setting, longer press for off, red light and power interruption if you press too hard, and a couple of pulses in the power to let you know every 30 seconds."
A third chimes in: " Bought this as a recommendation from my dentist. It definitely makes a difference from a manual toothbrush. My teeth feels cleaner for less time spend brushing. There is pressure sensor that glows in red if you press too hard. There is also a timer that alerts you after 30 sec. The battery last for about 2 weeks when used 2 times per day. It could be a bit noisy at first and the vibration is a lot stronger than the new Io series but you get used to both very quickly. I did researched quite a few different options before choosing this one and it didn't disappoint. All in all, great value for money."
And the same sentiments are shared by this shopper who says: "Very pleased with this product. I was after a higher end toothbrush after being let down by a cheaper one and this is absolutely perfect. With a built in timer, three intensity settings and a pressure sensor, it means that my teeth are getting the clean they deserve every time. The pressure sensor is my favourite feature as I do have a habit of scrubbing a bit too hard, but with this toothbrush even a gentle glide gives you a full mouth clean feeling."
You can buy the Oral-B iO2 Electric Toothbrush in Forest Green directly from Oral-B for £48 or in Night Black from Boots for £45. If you want a newer piece of kit with more settings to play with, the reputable oral hygiene brand's iO 10 electric toothbrush is available at Argos for £400, down from £800.

This is the best time to take an exam to boost your chances of passing, study finds
Sign up for our free Health Check email to receive exclusive analysis on the week in health Get our free Health Check email Get our free Health Check email Email * SIGN UP I would like to be emailed about offers, events and updates from The Independent. Read our Privacy notice Midday may be the best time to take an oral exam, interview for a job, or even go on trial, a new study has found. Researchers at Italy's University of Messina found a significant difference in students' pass rates in the late morning compared to early morning or late afternoon. At 12pm the students' passing rate was 72 per cent, compared to 54 per cent at 8am and 51 per cent at 4pm. Pass rates at 11am and 1pm were slightly lower at 67 per cent. 'We show that academic assessment outcomes vary systematically across the day, with a clear peak in passing rates around midday,' said Professor Carmelo Mario Vicario. 'Students were more likely to pass in late morning compared with early morning or late afternoon,' he said. 'We believe this pattern could extend to job interviews or any evaluative process scheduled throughout the day.' The study was based on the outcome of 104,552 assessments delivered by 680 examiners for 1,243 courses. The researchers chose to look at university oral exams, which are more subjective and aren't marked solely on correct answers, but also on delivery. It follows research showing that judges are more likely to rule in favour of a defendant at the start of sessions or after meal breaks. However, it is thought that this could also come down to the types of cases that are heard at different times of day. The study's author believes the findings could extend to job interviews ( Getty/iStock ) While the study could not identify the exact cause, it said the midday peak was consistent with evidence that cognitive performance improves over the morning and declines during the afternoon. The report said this could be due to the students' falling energy levels, as well as professors', who may give a harsher mark if they are experiencing decision fatigue. Researchers also said that it could be a result of students and professors competing chronotypes, the body's natural preference of sleeping times. 'People in their early 20s are usually night owls, while people in their 40s or older tend to be morning larks. The students might be least cognitively sharp at the time when the professors are most alert.' Prof Vicario suggested that to counteract these effects, students would benefit from better sleep, mental breaks, and scheduling exams outside of personal low periods. 'For institutions, delaying morning sessions or clustering key assessments in the late morning may improve outcomes. 'We believe this pattern could extend to job interviews or any evaluative process scheduled throughout the day. 'We would be very interested in investigating whether hiring decisions, too, fluctuate in fairness or outcome depending on time of day.'

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.
