Biggest skincare trends for 2025
Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions -
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.

Sunshine lovers rush to buy same-day 'no-frills' charcoal BBQ slashed to £11 at Argos

BARBECUE season is in full swing, so it's no wonder sunshine lovers are wasting no time snapping up a bargain BBQ slashed to just £11.20. Retail giant Argos has reduced a popular charcoal BBQ by 20%, and it's flying off the virtual shelves as a result. 3 BUY FROM ARGOS This compact charcoal BBQ is perfect for small gatherings or taking on mini breaks over the summer. Whether you're sizzling sausages in the garden, grilling burgers on the patio, or setting it up on a campsite or beach, it's petite but still packs a punch. Its lightweight design (weighing just 1.5kg) and simple assembly make it easy to use, with one user praising how it "took seconds to put up and seconds to take down". Its cooking area might be on the smaller side, measuring just 35cm x 35cm, but it's perfectly sized for about four people, still managing to fit four sausages, four burgers, and more. Reviewers have noted how they 'cooked four burgers and six sausages on it at the same time, and they cooked really well.' 3 Better still, it's easy to clean thanks to its porcelain-enamelled steel pan, and it can be flat-packed and folded away until next time. Despite £11.20 already being a steal, Argos offers payment plans to spread the cost, such as Klarna, as well as a Click-and-Collect option, meaning you could pick it up on the very same day for as little as £3.73. Argos customers have taken to the review section to rave about this budget-friendly barbecue. Some noted the TARDIS-like nature of the BBQ, stating, 'We were surprised with how much we could cook even though it's small,' and how there was 'space for 4 burgers or a few pieces of chicken.' 3 Another paid credit to its sturdiness and versatility whatever the weather labelling it a: 'A no-frills basic BBQ that's great for the garden, beach, or wherever you fancy it.' Another shopper bought it for a camping trip where it was 'left outside during the night on a very windy day – and it surprisingly did not move!!!!' This 'no-frills' small but mighty BBQ has already been bought over 100 times in the last 24 hours, so act fast to avoid disappointment and get the coals burning, ready for a scorching heatwave weekend. If you're on the hunt for more outdoor deals, we've also recently found a parasol slashed to just £67.99 in the Amazon Prime Day sale, as well as a 'statement' budget-friendly Dunelm sun lounger that 'brightens up the garden' for just £35.

Thames Water spent £136m on securing emergency funding, leaked document suggests

Thames Water spent at least £136m on the effort to secure emergency funding over 12 months, according to a leaked document that suggests costs outstripped the £130m the struggling utility paid in fines. The law firms Linklaters and Akin Gump received £45m and £26m respectively during the financial year to March 2025, and another 10 firms were paid more than £1m, according to a document listing 'atypical expenditure' for the year, seen by the Guardian. It is the first time the fees paid by Thames Water have been detailed publicly. The water company scrambled in the last year to secure emergency funding to avoid temporary nationalisation as it struggled under a £20bn debt pile. That effort led to a court showdown in January and February to force losses on some debt holders in exchange for up to £3bn of rescue cash to see it through this year. Thames, which is quickly burning through that cash, is in talks with the regulator, Ofwat, over a takeover by creditors who hold much of its debt, after the private equity firm KKR walked away from an auction. Lenders, ranging from big institutional investors such as Aberdeen, BlackRock, Invesco and M&G to US hedge funds including Elliott Management and Silver Point Capital, propose injecting £5.3bn in new debt and equity. The creditors argue they will need relief from future fines – and possibly the reversal of past fines – if they are to invest in Thames, which provides water and sewage services to 16 million customers in London and south-east England. Yet the figures show that fees paid to advisers in the process to refinance and sell Thames – under the codename Project Crabtree – rival the fines levied by Ofwat for sewage spills and illegal dividend payouts in the last year. Thames was forced to pay the fees for its own advisers and for those of creditors, as is usual in restructuring processes. Thames has also faced criticism for refusing to recover millions of pounds in bonuses paid to senior managers. The UK water industry is also likely to face scrutiny over the coming weeks, as heatwaves lead to drought conditions in some parts of the country. Yorkshire Water and South East Water, covering Kent and Sussex, announced hosepipe bans in the last week. Legal fees related to Crabtree appear to be significantly larger than Thames's previous estimate, which were provided in a letter dated 30 May to Alistair Carmichael, the Liberal Democrat MP who chairs parliament's environment committee. In that letter, the Thames Water chief executive, Chris Weston, wrote that 'legal fees' in relation to the recapitalisation were £67.6m. However, the internal document suggests that fees paid to Linklaters, Akin Gump, A&O Shearman and Quinn Emanuel totalled £79m that year. Thames did not explain the disparity. Consultancies AlixPartners, Bain, Deloitte, KPMG, Kroll and Teneo were also paid £39m collectively under exceptional spending during the year. AlixPartners received £12.8m, including amounts not related to the recapitalisation. The payments to the company continued after partner Julian Gething was seconded to Thames Water to act as its chief restructuring officer in December 2024. Bankers at Jefferies representing the creditors received £3.1m, while Rothschild received £1.5m. People close to the process said the fees reflected its complexity, involving a restructuring worth billions of pounds, hundreds of creditors, and the UK's biggest water company. The highest legal fees coincided with the court case. The documents suggest Linklaters was paid £10.1m in January 2025 and £5.5m in February, while Akin Gump was paid £3m and then £3.7m. Sign up to Business Today Get set for the working day – we'll point you to all the business news and analysis you need every morning after newsletter promotion Thames Water and the creditors have said all fees related to the recapitalisation will be funded by lenders rather than customers. Nevertheless, the payment of fees represents spending of money that might otherwise have been available for investment in Thames's infrastructure. Ofwat has also said customers will not bear the cost of the Project Crabtree fees, arguing that its calculation of water bill increases does not take into account advisory costs. Charlie Maynard, a Liberal Democrat MP, challenged the debt restructuring in court, arguing it would be better for bill payers for the company to enter special administration – essentially a temporary nationalisation. He drew attention to the high level of fees in court. 'This a massive fee bonanza for advisers,' Maynard said. 'Whether these charges are directly put on our bills or loaded on to the walking disaster that is Thames Water's balance sheet, either way this is money out the door. If the customers aren't paying, can Ofwat explain who is?' A Thames Water spokesperson said: 'Customers will not pay for these fees, and fees relating to the recapitalisation will not lead to an increase in any customer bills. Adviser fees are commercially sensitive information, so we will not comment on their accuracy and cannot verify the source of information.' A spokesperson for the creditors said: 'The creditors have submitted a £17bn recapitalisation of Thames Water, expected to represent the largest financial loss suffered by investors on an infrastructure asset in British history. Several billion pounds of debt will be written off to restore financial resilience, improve environmental performance and restore customer trust as quickly as possible, with no taxpayer risk.' AlixPartners, KPMG and Teneo declined to comment. The other advisers were approached for comment but had not responded by the time of publication.
