"Its moisturising power keeps your skin hydrated, while the 100% naturally derived DHA subtly adds colour for a buildable glow that you control. The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream. The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference - and this matters for all ages - is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed. "The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation," she continued, not because you're "not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday". "If you're not doing in your 20s, get on that now." But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn't go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun. Doing this over your lifetime - and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days - "will reduce the visible signs of photoageing", Andrea said. Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin. "The gradual tan builds up to a light to medium colour, leaving your skin with a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow." Over 300 shoppers have given the product a five-star review , including one fan who said: "I'm using this tanning lotion for about three years.

"I've never used fake tan before, but my daughter showed me the results, and I gave it a try. "My legs take forever to tan, and usually look like two milk bottles, but not anymore."

‘XL Bully' that mauled girl, 9, in the FACE is returned to owner as she walks free from jail
BULLY SHOCK 'XL Bully' that mauled girl, 9, in the FACE is returned to owner as she walks free from jail Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN XL Bully owner has walked free from court after her dog attacked a child last year. Elizabeth Boot's dog, Rocky, attacked a 9-year-old at an address in Nottingham in January 4, 2024, a court heard. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Elizabeth Boot, 33, has walked free from court after her dog attacked a child last year Credit: BPM According to MailOnline, the victim's injuries were so severe that she had to take time off school and is now left with permanent scarring. However, over a year later, Rocky has been returned to his owner. When the young girl was taken to hospital, Boot begged her and her mother not to tell the police about the attack in fears that her dog would be put down, Nottingham Crown Court was told. The 33-year-old from Sneinton then proceeded to give false details about the incident in a bid to protect the dog, while the victim was being treated at the Queens Medical Centre (QMC). Despite the child receiving multiple injuries, including a deep gash under her eye, Boot continued to give a false name and false details. A dog behaviour expert has since analysed Rocky and produced a report concluding it would be safe for him to return home. Handing her a 16-month jail term, suspended for 18 months, Judge Mark Watson said: "This was a frightening and scary incident, it must have been made worse by your response to it. "Rather than show concern for the girl, you were more concerned about Rocky and the impact on you and your family. "It was selfish behaviour and behaviour you should be ashamed of." However, the judge concluded that due to it being a quick bite rather than the dog taking hold of and mauling the child, Rocky did not pose a danger to the public. Mum's face left 'pouring with blood' after being attacked by 'pitbull-type dog' she went to stroke on night out The case prosecutor, Devni Kitulagoda, said the girl was unsupervised with the dog when it suddenly jumped up and bit her just under her eye. Boot was alerted to what was happening after hearing the child scream. Kitulagoda continued to explain that Boot's partner then began shouting that Rocky was going to be put down and begged the mother and child not to say anything. But Boot later pleaded guilty to being in possession of a dog that was dangerously out of control and injured a person. Lucia Harrington, mitigating, said her client has children aged nine and 11 who both have ADHD and autism. Harrington said explained that if Boot was to go into immediate custody, her children would have to be put into care. As part of the suspended sentence order, the judge ordered the defendant to attend 15 rehabilitation session and also contribute £1000 towards the £12000 kennelling costs which had been incurred. He also ordered a contingency destruction order. This means Rocky will be destroyed if the owner is unable to keep it under control. The conditions are as follows: Pet gates to be fitted at the entrance of her home and her living room entrance. If anyone under thee age of 16 visits her home, Rocky needs to be locked in a separate room. The owner must attend sessions with a dog behaviour analyst. Three young girls were also attacked by a 7st XL Bully in Norfolk earlier this year. The horrifying incident saw Victoria Hewitt's pet, Karma, attack her two children and friend, aged 4, 8 and 11. The attack saw the dog drag one of the children across the floor, biting her down to the bone. A judge later sentenced Hewitt to an eight-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months. These incidents come after a ban on XL Bullies was ruled by the High Court in December 2024. Judges said that ministers has "sufficient evidence of an alarmingly high level of fatal attacks" by the dog breed when the crackdown was launched in 2023. 3 A ban on XL Bullies was ruled by the High Court in December 2024 Credit: Getty

XL Bully-type dog bit girl, 9, in face - then owner begged mum not to tell cops
A child was left with permanent scarring after being bitten by an XL Bully-type dog in January 2024. After the incident, the dog's owner didn't want police to know how it happened An XL Bully -type dog bit a nine-year-old girl in the face before its owner then begged the child's mum not to tell the police, a court heard. The victim was left with permanent scarring after being left unsupervised with the animal, named Rocky, at an address in Nottingham in January 2024. When the girl was taken to hospital, the dog's owner, 33-year-old Elizabeth Boot, begged her and her mother not to tell cops how the injury occurred "or it would get put down," Nottingham Crown Court was told. Boot, from Sneinton, Nottinghamshire, gave false details when asked for them while at the hospital, the court heard. As a result of the incident, the girl had to take time off school and now has permanent scarring under her eyes. Rocky has now been returned to its owner after a dog behaviour expert produced a report in which he concluded he could be safely come back to the home. Devni Kitulagoda, prosecuting, said the incident happened at an address in Nottingham on January 4, 2024. He said the girl was unsupervised with the dog which suddenly bit her just under her eye, reports Nottinghamshire Live. The prosecutor said: "The defendant's partner then began shouting that Rocky was going to be put down and begged her and her mother not to say that Rocky had bitten (the girl). She received a number of injuries including a deep gash under her eye and attended the QMC where she received stitches. "While there, the defendant gave a false name and false details. Officers then attained her address on January 8 and while there Rocky had to be held back." Boot later pleaded guilty to being in control of a dog which was dangerously out of control and injured a person. Lucia Harrington, mitigating, said Boot has children aged nine and 11 who both have ADHD and autism. She said: "I asked her what would happen if she was sent immediately to custody today and she said her children would have to go into care." Boot was handed a 16-month jail term, suspended for 18 months, as judge Mark Watson described the incident involving the little girl as "frightening and scary", and said her response made it worse. The judge said: "This was a frightening and scary incident, it must have been, and was made worse by your response to it. Rather than show concern for the girl, you were more concerned about Rocky and the impact on you and your family. "It was selfish behaviour and behaviour you should be ashamed of. But it was a quick bite and I am satisfied it was snapping rather than the dog taking hold and mauling. And (having heard the expert evidence) I am satisfied that Rocky does not pose a danger to the public. "This was not an incident out of the blue without explanation and (concerns) the behaviour of children around dogs." As part of her suspended sentence, Boot will need to attend 15 rehabilitation sessions and contribute £1,000 towards the £12,000 kenneling costs which have already been incurred. She also faces strict rules around Rocky, namely having to fit gates at the entrance of her home and in her living room, lock the dog in a separate room if anyone under the age of 16 visits the property, and attend sessions with a dog behaviour analyst.
