One five-star review read: "Best sun cream ever. I have just repurchased my third tube of this. It's fantastic. So easily absorbed and looks flawless under my make up. You don't look cakey white after it. I adore this. Best one I've tried."
A second read: "I must say, the texture of this sunscreen is absolutely amazing! What's more, it is one of the few sunscreens that doesn't leave an oily shine on your face. Instead, it leaves a dewy conditioning look.
Beauty deal of the week
Looking to upgrade your straighteners, then look no further than this Amazon deal we have spotted.
The Remington Advanced Coconut Therapy Hair Straightener, which has been hailed as "better than ghd", is now on offer for a staggering 75 percent less, as it is has been dropped from £139.99 to just £34.90.
To help keep hair soft and shiny with each use, the floating ceramic plates feature micro-conditioners that have been infused with coconut oil and UV filters, keeping tresses protected from any frizz caused by too much heat.
Its salon-style design means it comes complete with an ultra-fast 15-second heat up time and five digital temperature controls up to 230C, while the rounded barrel design with a swivel cord makes it easy to create either a sleek straight or bouncy curls look.
There's also an integrated sensor that kicks in when the plates come into contact with the hair, ensuring they never overheat, while plate lock and auto-shut off function offers peace of mind and safety.
Considering Remington's status for hair tools, it's no surprise to hear that this coconut-infused straightener has been singled out as an 'Amazon Choice' product, with a glowing 4.4 rating based on over 1,000 reviews from happy purchasers.
One beauty fan praised: "Better than ghds. What can I say I have used GHDs for the last 20 years? My last pair broke yesterday so after some research I thought I would try these Remington's.
"I can't believe how straight my hair is gone, not even my GHD's got it this straight. Amazing straighteners on would recommend to anybody, I have thick course hair and look how smooth it looks."
"It also doesn't pill when layered on top of other skincare products. It provides good solid SPF and UV protection. After trying many sunscreens, I think I have finally found the perfect one!"
Someone else remarked: "One of the best SPF products I have ever used. Not greasy and leaves a beautiful glow to the skin. It doesn't cause my skin to breakout personally and doesn't leave a white cast. An essential!"
One shopper left a three-star review after finding it was not suitable for their skin type, writing: "Was an ok product. It does moisturise whiles it protects your skin. But it cause my skin to break out on my face. So I had to use it as a body sunscreen."
However, someone else said in a five-star review: "I'm usually sceptical about sunscreens since I have a delicate skin and break out easily. This one is just perfect. Work it in lightly and leaves you with a dewy finish."

Vulnerable mental health service user exposes deadly "crisis" in Glasgow system
Marius Samavicius, 33, launched his own investigation after a three-year battle for support, which saw his suicidal thoughts referenced as a 'lovely wee email'. A deadly "crisis" over mental health care in Scotland's biggest city has been exposed by a service user who claims they was denied help in their darkest time. Marius Samavicius launched an investigation after a three-year battle for support in Glasgow, which saw the 33-year-old's suicidal thoughts referenced as a 'lovely wee email'. The artist found almost one in three of the more than 86,000 people seeking help from Glasgow's adult Community Mental Health Teams over the last seven years were rejected for care, while more than 1,100 people died under the service. The data - branded "heartbreaking" by campaigners - revealed just 6% of those accepted for care were referred for psychology over the period, between 2018 and 2024. The figures come amid a backdrop of shattering cuts to other mental health services across the city and show the number of people seeking help was at its highest over the last two years - as were the number of rejections. Marius, whose mental health battle led to them becoming homeless during Covid, said: 'Asking for mental health support takes courage and many stay silent out of fear or shame. 'I was shocked by the sheer number of people who died in care. How many died before seeking help, or after being rejected or discharged? The NHS doesn't publish this data. 'The NHS mental health system isn't broken - it's already collapsed and patients are left under the rubble. 'There's no scan that proves mental illness, so people are often dismissed as dramatic, unstable, or 'not ready' for therapy.' Data released under the Freedom of Information Act shows that 86,226 patients sought help through 10 of the city's adult centres during the period. The figures refer to Shawpark Resource Centre in Maryhill, North east Glasgow's Arran, Auchinlea and Springpark centres, the Arndale and Riverside centres in the North West of the city as well as Brand Street, Florence Street, Rossdale and the Stewart Centre in the south. Nearly one in three people (27,431) were rejected outright for care for various reasons while 9,649 were discharged from care for failing to attend appointments. A total of 1,103 patients died under the care of the service. Across nine of the centres, excluding Shawpark, which could not provide complete data, just 6% (5,310 patients) were allocated to psychology, while 7,135 completed treatment. The longest wait time for treatment hit 81 weeks - 4.5 times longer than Scotland's 18-week target. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Marius demanded answers after his battle for support through Shawpark. A subject access request exposed correspondence in which staff handling a complaint from Marius which referenced suicidal thoughts describe it as a 'lovely wee email' in 2023. Marius said there was no subsequent risk assessment or welfare check. The artist claims they were discharged from the service three times through no fault of their own and were never put on the psychology waiting list. They said: 'When I was finally assessed by Shawpark, I was told that trauma therapy might make me worse. I felt dismissed and written off but charity LGBT Health and Wellbeing responded immediately. They gave me weekly sessions and, despite limited resources, offered around 20 sessions of wellbeing and trauma-focused support.' In March, the Glasgow Integrated Joint Board (IJB) for Health and Social Care services set a budget that included £42 million worth of cuts across a range of services, including lifeline mental health services like counselling, psychotherapy and trauma recovery. Scottish Labour Mental Health spokesperson Paul Sweeney MSP said: 'These heartbreaking figures show the cost of failing to support mental health services. 'Services like this are stretched to breaking point under the SNP, leaving far too many Scots falling through the cracks. 'With thousands of people being turned away from our health service in their hour of need, it's clear the founding principles of our NHS have been compromised.' NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde apologised to Marius for any distress caused but insisted that appropriate treatment was offered. A spokesman said: 'Our staff continue to work tirelessly to meet the increasing demands for psychological therapies and to ensure those who need to support of our teams are seen as quickly as possible. 'In line with the national policy, patients referred to our services will be assessed and if appropriate will be redirected or supported to alternative services. Those who are rejected include patients who are given advice about treatment, referred to other services, or in cases where a referral is inappropriate or incomplete.' The Scottish Government said mental health was an 'absolute priority' and expects its overall spending to be over £1.3 billion for the next year. A spokeswoman said: 'Every death by suicide is a tragedy and our heartfelt sympathies go out to all those affected by suicide. We expect anyone in distress or experiencing suicidal thoughts who presents themselves to NHS or community services to be treated with respect and receive timely access to high quality and safe mental health care, as close to home as possible. 'Whilst one in two people start psychological therapy treatment within three weeks of referral, some people still wait too long, so we will continue to provide enhanced support to those health boards not on track to meet the standard.'

The experts' guide to the probiotics that work
P robiotics, the 'gut-friendly' supplements and functional foods that purportedly transform your health, immunity and mental wellbeing, are part of a market worth £178 million — and rising. By 2035 it is estimated we will be spending £242 million on tending to our microbiome, the vast ecosystem of bacteria, fungi and yeasts that inhabit our intestines. But what happens when these products are subjected to scientific scrutiny of the highest order — do they really live up to their claims? Until now consumers had no way of telling if the probiotic pill they were popping was worth taking or better left on the shelf. 'The probiotic market has exploded, but choosing the right product remains incredibly challenging,' says Dr Gemma Walton, a researcher at the University of Reading's department of food and nutritional sciences. 'Well-researched products sit on the shelves next to others that may have very little research behind them.'

Shark LED Face Mask that makes 'huge difference' to skin gets 'limited time' reduction
"I cannot believe the difference in my skin and my deep lines are almost gone! My skin pigment is better, my skin looks younger it's AMAZING!!" Skin care trends are constantly evolving, but one method for banishing blemishes and fine lines that has gained a lot of traction in recent years is light therapy. But while many sing its praises, no one wants to end up shelling out hundreds on spa treatments for frequent light therapy facials. Luckily, those looking to try this revolutionary skin care method can find the top-rated Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask on a 20 per cent discount on Amazon. Usually retailing at £300, the light therapy mask is currently £62 cheaper at £238. Complete with a remote control, under-eye cooling pads, travel bag and adjustable straps, this kit promises anti-aging spa-level facials from the comfort of home. The LED mask uses red light therapy to target fine lines, wrinkles and blemishes, and promises to reduce puffiness. From trusted brand Shark, this mask comes with a higher price-tag than alternative LED masks, but assures a high-quality product. While the white version of the mask is currently out of stock due to its popularity, the blue version is currently available on Amazon at the discounted price. Its under-eye cooling patches claim to reduce puffiness in just five minutes, making the skin appear youthful and revived. The Shark product uses red light therapy for fine lines and wrinkles, and blue light therapy for blemishes, making the skin tone appear more uniform and even. The product states that it is safe to use on all skin types and skin tones, and can fit all face sizes thanks to its adjustable straps. Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask £299.99 £238 Amazon Shop Product Description Those browsing alternative LED face masks may consider the Stylpro Weavelength LED Face Mask on Argos for £100, which has four light therapy modes. Or, those with a higher budget may consider the Rio Facelite Red Light LED Face Mask for £350 on Argos, which promises to rejuvenate the entire face in just 10 minutes. But the discounted Amazon option is raking in glowing reviews, and has scored a stellar rating of 4.5 stars out of a possible five. One happy shopper said: "This is a FANTASTIC mask! I previously had the currentbody mask which I sold and replaced with this! "This is A LOT easier to use! It's cheaper so fantastic value for money and it also has a few different settings! I've been using the standard one as well as the acne one and I've noticed a huge difference already in my skin texture and appearance as well as a huge reduction in acne marks! "This mask is a lot more comfortable to wear than the flexible masks and it feels really high quality! So much easier to put on and take off and it has little build in cooling pads under your eyes! Honestly I cannot sing this masks praises enough! It's honestly so effective and my skin looks and feels so great!!" However, a less happy shopper said: "I feel so embarrassed that I spent £300 on a device that has not made a single impact, I've used this device every day for 11 weeks before writing this review, zero impact on blemishes, which is why I purchased it, so disappointed I wish I could return it and get my money back." But another satisfied customer said: "I have used this since it was bought for me so nine days ago and I can not believe the difference in my skin and my deep lines are almost gone! My skin pigment is better, my skin looks younger it's AMAZING!!" The Shark LED mask can be bought on Amazon. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
