And when it finally went on offer, she was just £5 away from having enough points to grab it. But instead of waiting around, she sprinted straight to her local Boots and used a clever trick that got her the last fiver she needed, without spending a penny more. It was all thanks to Boots' Recycle at Boots scheme, which is a little-known initiative that rewards you for bringing in your empty beauty and personal care products. We're talking toothpaste tubes, shampoo bottles, face cream pots, even things like contact lens cases and solution. Once you've collected five used-up products, you simply log them in the Recycle at Boots app, take them to a participating store, pop them in the green recycling box, and you get a £5 voucher when you spend £10. Steph said 'I was only £5 off buying the Shark LED mask with my points, so I ran to Boots, did the recycling scheme and bought it immediately," This time around, she used the £5 voucher to stock up on essentials and then cashed in her Advantage Card points to cover the rest of the cost of the Shark mask. 'I got this mask entirely for free,' she said. 'Definitely worth it.' She added that she often uses the recycling reward to try out new beauty products, but it's also perfect for picking up basics without dipping into your own cash. British skincare brand sold in Boots launches 50% off sale as it prepares to close down this month The best part is you're clearing out those dusty old bottles under the sink and getting rewarded for it. It's a win-win. So next time you're close to bagging something boujee with your Boots points, whether it's a viral skincare gadget, a designer perfume or just your favourite foundation, remember the recycle trick. Boot's loyalty scheme has been running since 1997, and there are now over 17 million Advantage card members. It works by rewarding shoppers with three points for every £1 they spend. Each point is worth 1p, so if you've saved 1234 points, you'll have £12.34 to spend. To pay for your shopping using your points balance, you'll need the full amount as you can't split payments between points and cash. Many shoppers build up their balance over the year to buy Christmas presents, or get bargains in the mega Boots sale at the end of the year. Shark CryGlow Review SOPHIA Bates put the mask up to test in her review. First impressions The face mask comes with a remote control, clip-on eye cooling patches, a charging cable and a satin drawstring pouch for storage. After charging the device for several hours as per the instructions, the mask was ready to go without needing to set anything up. When I first switched the device on, I was given a walk-through on the remote's screen that outlined the basic information, which is great for first-time LED mask users. The mask is bulky and it did take me a while to figure out how to adjust the straps so that it fit comfortably on my face, so it's not something I'll be travelling with. I found the LCD remote control to be slick and easy to use, and I love that it tracks progress by tracking how many times I've used each routine. The mask also shuts down automatically once the routine is complete, which is handy for power saving. Performance I've been using the Shark face mask for around two months, using primarily the Better-Ageing routine followed by the Under-Eye Revival mode. The Insta-Chill technology, which is unique to the CryoGlow, always makes me feel refreshed after removing the mask, and it's great for unwinding. There are three cold temperature settings which can be adjusted on the remote. The mask has an adjustable strap that tightens around the head for a secure fit, although I did find it to be quite heavy on the face. I know some people like to wear LED masks while running errands around the house, but I personally found the hard shell design to be too bulky for that (though it's perfectly comfortable to wear while sitting in front of the TV). The verdict Would I recommend the Shark CryoGlow Mask to a friend? Absolutely. It's the most user-friendly mask I've come across, and I love that the remote control walks users through every routine while tracking all progress. The four modes mean every skin type is likely to benefit from the mask, and I've seen results in my skin's brightness after the eight-week period that I've been testing the device. While the mask is quite bulky, the secure strap makes it comfortable enough to relax with, and the cooling technology leaves my skin feeling so awake after every use. Read the full review here. Double your points If you need that extra boost to your points then we have you covered. Experts have exclusively revealed the tricks to supersizing your points balance. The Boots Advantage Card app is a "game changer", according to Holly Smith, aka the UK's Coupon Queen. These are where your Advantage points, and tailored offers, will be listed. Sometimes, you can earn double, triple, or even QUADRUPLE your points by using these offers. Tap 'View Offers' under your points balance in the app to see your personalised deals. "Right now, my offers are 500 Advantage Card points if I spend £35 or more in-store, 100 points if I buy any Boots own brand products, and 10% off if I spend £15 or more on children's products – plus loads more," said Holly. The extra points will usually come with stipulations such as when you spend a certain amount, buy selected products or could simply offered as a one or two-time offer. To get the boosted points, you will need to 'load to your card', which means adding the offers onto your card before making a purchase, to get the boost. The offers typically change every four weeks, though there are also one day events that crop up so it's worth checking in regularly to see what's available in store or on your app. And if it's your birthday month you could push your points balance even further. When you treat yourself on your birthday, you get free bonus points in the process. During your birthday month, you can double your points, which is six points for every £1 spent. Make sure you put in your date of birth when signing up so you can access the offer. Remember to add the offer to your card before spending. There's plenty of other tricks you could also use to stack up your point balance.

TK Maxx shoppers are in a frenzy after spotting Le Creuset products for wild price
Shoppers have been left delighted after finding Le Creuset kitchenware in TK Maxx recently - including heavily discounted dishes and mugs in a range of dreamy colours Shoppers are insisting that people "run don't walk" to TK Maxx after spotting heavily discounted Le Creuset products in store. Anyone who loves homeware likely has the iconic products on their dream wish list or saved on their Pinterest boards. The beautiful cookware pieces, which have become a viral sensation, come in pastel and vibrant colours and are made with good quality materials that help them last a long time. However, they are not cheap. A set of two Le Creuset mugs at John Lewis will set you back £34, while a shallow casserole dish is priced at £295 on Le Creuset's website. The prices may burn a hole in your pocket if you treat yourself. But thankfully, shoppers have found a way around the hefty price tags. TK Maxx are selling Le Creuset products for significantly less. One bargain-hunter posted a recent find on TikTok. They found a shelf full of Le Creuset mugs, priced at £7.99 each, instead of its RRP of £17. "Picked up two pink mugs, dreamy," @fraser_reno said on the video sharing app, where they have been sharing their home renovation journey. In response to the short clip, one viewer gushed: "Omg need". Another said: "Will literally pay you to post me these." And a third added: "I love." The products are so popular that some are struggling to find them in stock. One commenter complained: "There's never any when I go." Earlier this month, one shopper, named Jemima, managed to find a Le Creuset mug in TK Maxx for just £2.50 in the clearance sale - down from £14.50. The individual who shared her finds via her TikTok account @jemimaeve, also managed to find a cooking dish for £29.99, with an RRP of £58. Another bargain-hunter, Cerys, shared that they managed to find Le Creuset jugs in Home Sense earlier this year, as well as dishes and mugs. In other money saving news, a fashion fan is insisting shoppers get down to TK Maxx as soon as possible after she has found some incredible deals - including 70p homeware items and clothes for as little as 30p.

Read on for more anti-ageing hacks SKINCREDIBLE I'm banishing my forehead wrinkles at 56 and it's all thanks to a £2.90 buy that's better than Botox Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has revealed the cheap beauty buy that is banishing her wrinkles as she sleeps. The 56-year-old woman who goes by Girl Called Dave on social media shared the anti-ageing results in a video clip that left people stunned. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The 56-year-old shared the anti-ageing buy that put a stop to wrinkles Credit: Tiktok/@agirlcalleddave 2 Dave was left stunned by the results Credit: Tiktok/@agirlcalleddave She woke up and switched the camera on to show people what she looked like after sleeping with the beauty buy on. Dave had small patches of plasters stuck all over her face and just below her eyes. She said: "I've literally just woken up, time to go straight ahead and do this. Okay so this is the scar tape and it's so soft and easy to peel." The beauty buff gently peeled off the scar tape on her face to show her skin looked underneath and the results were incredible. Dave's skin showed barely any signs of ageing despite being 56, and her forehead looked smooth with no signs of wrinkles. Even she was impressed by the results. She said: "It's incredibly soft to sleep in. You don't feel it on your face. "Incredibly moisturising, locks in all the moisture and you can put it over your skincare." The scar tape cost Dave just £2.90 to buy on TikTok shop but you can also find it in the likes of Tesco, although it is significantly more expensive at £10 a roll. Scar tape helps banish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as it helps lock hydration into the skin, making it more plump. Dita Von Teese, 51, reveals how she's kept her skin wrinkle-free as fans are convinced she 'looks 30' It also works by stopping the face from moving and essentially temporarily freezes the muscles, to create a smooth look. The video was posted on her TikTok account @agirlcalleddave where it quickly went viral with over 411k views and 2k likes. People were quick to take to the comments claiming they purchased the buy after seeing Dave's results. One person wrote: "I have tried most things in a bid to fight the fine lines on my 48 year old face, I'm hoping this works." Another commented: "I've just ordered based on your results, hoping it helps my smile lines." "Wow amazing!" penned a third. How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings. She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with. 'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us. 'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.' It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing. Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel. Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you. Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing. Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration. Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Thank you, I just bought it. I can't wait to try it." "YOU LOOK GREAT!' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "It's going in my basket."
