Boots selling new Sports Nutrition box worth £160 for just £40
Boots has unveiled a collection of post-exercise recovery snacks and treats, all neatly packaged and significantly discounted. The box, filled with 21 full-sized health and wellness products, is designed to fuel movement and aid recovery.
Purchased individually, the items in the Boots Fuel and Recover Sports Box would cost over £160. However, this bundle can be snapped up for just £39.99, saving shoppers more than £120 on the same quantity of product.
The box includes a variety of well-known brands such as MyProtein, Huel, C4, Grenade, and others. Fans of these brands can replenish their supplies for less or even try something new.
Available online from today (May 14), the box contains different types of protein powder and snacks to help you recover from a workout or meet your protein targets. As it's a new product, there are no reviews of the box itself, but Boots customers can look up specific products individually for shopper feedback, reports the Mirror.
What is inside the box?
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein (Double Rich Chocolate, 300g)
MyProtein Unisex Socks
Nuzest Clean Lean Protein Protein Powder (Salted Caramel, 250g)

The Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is a popular item that's included in this package. Multiple flavours are available on the Boots website, including strawberry and vanilla ice cream - but it's double chocolate that's sampled here.
Fans of the powder have said it "makes great smoothies" and also "tastes great on porridge," although some did mention it was "clumpy" and that "ruined" their experience.
Some of MyProtein's sought-after items are part of the deal, including the Vimto-flavoured Clear Whey Protein, typically priced at £15.75 and presented as a twist on "traditional milky protein shakes". Available flavours include Orange and Mango, Watermelon, and Peach Tea.
Customers on Boots' website have expressed that it 'tastes just like' the classic beverage, but also provides 20g of hydrolysed whey protein, boasting that 'it mixes well with water'. Another person commented that it's "really refreshing" and "a great alternative to normal protein powder" although some were deterred by its "very sweet" taste.
Included in the box is a pack of Boots' own magnesium supplements (valued at £6.50 for 60 tablets). Magnesium is vital for maintaining good health, aiding in the reduction of tiredness and fatigue – perfect for post-exercise recovery.
Past buyers have said that the tablets help them "feel more energetic" and they "notice the difference" if they stop taking them. However, others haven't found them beneficial, and a handful have reported "severe diarrhoea", something that the NHS warns can happen if you have too much of the nutrient in your system.
For those keen on getting into fitness, there are comparable bundles available. Applied Nutrition's bundle offers a selection that includes a JD Gym Day Pass for £29.95, featuring a variety of their products, such as protein powder samples, alongside snacks like cookies, bars, and drinks.
. It's packed with energy-enhancing drinks, protein bars, and recovery supplements from various brands, including Grenade, CNP, MyProtein, Applied Nutrition, and Muscle Moose.
Boots' £40 Fuel and Recover Sports Box is perfect for expanding an existing collection or a great starting point for anyone looking to incorporate a sports supplement into their routine but unsure where to begin. The Sports Nutrition Box can be found online here.
It offers an opportunity to sample some brands that have not yet launched in Boots, such as Humantra and Selfish. These will eventually be available for purchase later in May and June. Customers who purchase the new bundle could save a significant amount on these post-workout indulgences. It's listed as an online exclusive, so you won't find it on the shelves in Boots anytime soon.

Experts issue urgent warning over popular 'once-a-day' sunscreens
Reapplying suncream is a chore that most holidaygoers dread. So it's no surprise that many sunseekers opt for sunscreens marketed as 'once-a-day'. While these sunscreens tend to be more expensive than standard bottles, they claim to offer long-lasting protection. But do once-a-day sunscreens really last all day? According to experts from Which?, the answer is no. The consumer champion analysed four popular once-a-day sunscreens, and found a list of crucial caveats hidden in the small print on the back of the bottles. 'Sweating, swimming, towel drying or rubbing your skin on an abrasive surface can all impact protection levels and how the sunscreen lasts,' Which? explained. 'All of this means that you'll almost certainly need to apply more than just once a day, especially if you're out and about.' Do once-a-day sunscreens really last all day? According to experts from Which?, the answer is no (stock image) The first once-a-day sunscreen analysed by the researchers was the Boots Soltan Once Advanced 8 Hour Protect, which comes in both a lotion and a spray form 1. Boots Soltan Once Advanced 8 Hour Protect (£13 for 200ml) The first once-a-day sunscreen analysed by the researchers was the Boots Soltan Once Advanced 8 Hour Protect, which comes in both a lotion and a spray form. On the front of the bottle, Boots claims that 'one application allows for up to eight hours sun exposure'. However, there are several important caveats buried on the back of the bottle. 'Back of pack instructions say you need to apply the sun cream generously 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply after towel drying or "coming into contact with an abrasive surface",' Which? explained. What's more, at £13 for 200ml, this sunscreen is more than double the price of Boots Soltan Protect & Moisturise range. 2. Boots Soltan Kids Once Protect & Play / Protect & Swim (£13 for 200ml) Boots' Soltan Kids Once range comes in two versions - Protect & Play, and Protect & Swim - although both appear to offer the same level of protection. Boots' Soltan Kids Once range comes in two versions - Protect & Play, and Protect & Swim - although both appear to offer the same level of protection Calypso claims that its sunscreen offers 'all day long' protection after just one application. However, Which? looked on its website, and found conflicting advice Like the previous sunscreen, Boots claims that 'one application allows for up to eight hours' sun exposure. However, the advice in the small print is once again to apply 15 minutes before going out in the sun, apply generously, and reapply after towelling dry. 'We asked Boots what counts as an abrasive surface, and it said rubbing wet skin with a towel would count, but that sunbathing on an abrasive surface (such as a towel, the sand or a sunbed) would not,' Which? explained. 3. Calypso Once a Day (£10.99 for 200ml) Calypso claims that its sunscreen offers 'all day long' protection after just one application. However, Which? looked on its website, and found conflicting advice. 'On its website, it says you need to reapply after 40 minutes in the water, if you dry yourself with a towel or after "anything that involves rubbing your skin",' Which? said. 4. Calypso All School Day Long (£9.99 for 150ml) Finally, Which? analysed the Calypso All School Day Long sunscreen, which is said to provide 'long-lasting protection of up to eight hours' Finally, Which? analysed the Calypso All School Day Long sunscreen, which is said to provide 'long-lasting protection of up to eight hours.' In the small print, Calypso explains that its product should be applied evenly and generously to clean, dry skin 15 minutes sun exposure. It also reminds customers that once-a-day sunscreens can still be washed off if you spend a long time in the water or if you dry yourself with a towel, and that you may need to reapply. What do the doctors say? Speaking to Which? Professor Brian Diffey from the British Association of Dermatologists, advised regularly reapplying sunscreen - even if it promises all-day protection. 'We recommend against relying on any sunscreen product for long periods without reapplication, whether advertised as an extended wear product, or not,' he said. 'Nobody applies sunscreen perfectly uniformly to all exposed skin, and it's inevitable that we will miss patches of skin. 'They also frequently under-apply and don't use the "one teaspoon per body part" rule to ensure you use enough product. 'So, if you are only applying your sunscreen once a day, you are at risk of spending hours in the sun with little or no protection to those areas of skin that may have been missed or not had enough sun cream applied to them.'

Learn more This £10 product 'works like magic' at reducing razor bumps and ingrown hairs (Image: Getty) Personal grooming can be a chore, especially in the summer when there are more places you may want hair removed from. And what's worse than the act of shaving? The plague of razor bumps, itchy skin and ingrown hairs that come after. But what if at-home hair removal doesn't have to involve painful ingrown hairs or persistent razor bumps? There's a 5-star rated skincare gem promising to say au revoir to the side effects of grooming for the ever-so-low cost of £10. Actually retailing for £9.60 at Boots, this Megababe Apres Shave Ingrown and Razor Burn Roll-on Solution promises to be an easy and affordable way to banish razor bumps and ingrown hairs in the days immediately after your shave, ensuring smooth and soft skin without the nasty side effects. READ MORE: Monsoon's best-selling wedding guest dress finally gets restocked and gets 50% price cut READ MORE: This St Moriz self-tan remover took my tan off in minutes without the need for scrubbing' This Megababe Apres Shave Ingrown and Razor Burn Roll on Solution costs £9.60 at Boots (Image: Boots) This Apres Shave Solution comes in a cute and handy roll-on design that makes it super easy and convenient to apply. It is touted as a clarifying tonic with BHA, which removes dead skin cells that clog pores and block hair. It also features more skin-loving ingredients, such as salicylic acid, which dissolves excess skin cells, making ingrown hairs less likely to form, and glycerin, which softens the skin's barrier to keep skin pliable and encourages hairs to grow without curling back on themselves, which can cause ingrown hairs to form. The formula also utilises the properties of apple fruit extract, which gently smoothes and helps with cell turnover, and witch hazel, which soothes and calms delicate skin. This, coupled with the fact that it is fragrance-free, makes it an ideal choice for all skin types. This wonder product is ideal for use anywhere shaving leaves skin prone to ingrown hairs and bumps, whether that's your bikini line, legs, underarms, navel, etc. Plus, it's super convenient roll-on design ensures it gets to all of those hard-to-reach areas without the need to cover your fingers. Simply use daily to treat and prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps Retailing for £9.60 at Boots, this Apres Shave has a glowing 4.9 out of 5-star rating from customers who can't stop singing its praises. One satisfied shopper shares: "Great product! Feels clean and heals my bumps right away." Another buyer beams: "I bought this product a week ago for my ingrown hairs. And it has worked like magic! I bought it skeptically because there have been other similar items that haven't worked but after one day of using it day and night I noticed a total difference. My problem area is now smooth and I have no ingrowns at all. I highly recommend this product!" More adoration comes from this customer who raves: "I've been using apres shave for my underarms for about a year, and I no longer suffer from bumps or itchiness! It stings for a few seconds after application, but stops after it dries (a few seconds)." And another shopper says simply: "Must have for my armpits in the summer. I have curly hair and prone to ingrowns. However, if I use my Apres Shave after for the first couple days, I am all set!" It's worth noting you can buy the Apres Shave on Amazon, but it's currently retailing for £25.99 and has a shipping time that could take weeks. For a similar product, check out this Ultimate Razor Burn & Bump Relief from Kiehl's, which sells for £24, or check out the TikTok viral Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick for £15.

‘Non-invasive neck lift in a stick' that shoppers call a ‘magic eraser for wrinkles'
This innovative serum-in-a-stick solution for sagging skin and wrinkles is already proving to be a hit with shoppers, with visibly smoother skin in as little as four weeks The neck area is often one of the first to show signs of ageing, but it can also be one of the trickiest to treat. Luckily, we've come across a nifty skincare solution: a retinol-rich swipe-on stick for younger-looking skin in weeks. Top skincare brand RoC has just launched its new Derm Correxion Retinol Firming Serum Stick into Boots, priced at £39.99. Developed in collaboration with dermatologists and plastic surgeons and enriched with RoC's trademark retinol, this handy stick is designed to be swept across the face, neck, chest and even hands to help to hydrate, smooth lines and increase skin's elasticity. In RoC's tests, users saw smoother and hydrated skin immediately, 94% reported visibly reduced lines after one week of use, and 94% said they had visibly firmer skin after four weeks. And it's not just the official tests and before-and-after photos that are impressive – shopper reviews on the Boots website are also praising this clever little stick: One person called it a "magic eraser for wrinkles", writing: "I love the ROC Derm Correxion firming serum stick. It literally is like a magic eraser for wrinkles! you can put on your neck, face or hands to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I use this every day and highly recommended!" "I am in shock at how well this works! It goes on smooth and adsorbs well, not greasy. I'm 62 and get tons of complements on how great my skin looks since I started using it," another agreed. "Love it. Will buy again!" A third person reported seeing results in a matter of weeks: "I am impressed with this product! Not only is application easy with the roll-on packaging, wrinkles showed definite improvement in the first two weeks of use. I use it once daily, and though it can be used morning and evening, I've kept it to once a day because I've had reactions to retinol products in the past, and there was still definite improvement to face wrinkles." Not everyone saw such quick results though. One shopper wrote that although they "absolutely love the applicator and wish more skincare products rolled on like this" and were "happy to report I had no side effects", they "haven't really seen any drastic results yet", going on to add that "I know retinols can take some time to work so hopefully this has more of an effect as time goes on." While we're yet to test this out ourselves, one neck serum we have tried out is the popular BOOST LAB Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum, £25, which caught our eye after Lisa Snowdon praised its effects. Our beauty editor Laura found that, while you shouldn't expect miracles, it does improve the condition of the skin on this delicate area; you can read her full review here.
