Biggest skincare trends for 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.

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.

But serious complications include Advertisement The virus is spread when an infected person breathes, And you're infectious from when you first have symptoms (around four days before the rash appears) until four days after you get the rash.

The most effective way to protect yourself and others from measles is through vaccination with the Two doses of the MMR vaccine offer lifelong protection. In the UK, children are typically offered the first dose at 12 months old and the second at three years and four months. Advertisement If you get measles, it's crucial to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen to manage symptoms.

Other warning signs include severe vomiting or Advertisement Expert answers MMR questions TO help deal with parental concerns, Professor Helen Bedford, a specialist in child public health at University College London, tells you all you need to know about the MMR vaccine. When is the vaccine given? The MMR vaccine is part of the NHS Routine Childhood Immunisation Programme. It's typically given via a single shot into the muscle of the thigh or the upper arm. The first dose is offered to children at the age of one (babies younger than this may have some protection from antibodies passed on from their mother, which start to wear off at about 12 months.) The second dose is then offered to children aged three years and four months before they start school. To check to see if you or your child have had the recommended two doses of MMR, you can look at their/your Personal Child Health Record, also known as the red book. If you can't find the red book, call your GP and ask them for your vaccine records. You are never too old to catch up with your MMR vaccine. If you see from your vaccination records that you did not receive two doses as a child, you can book a vaccination appointment. Is the vaccine safe? The MMR vaccine is safe and effective at preventing measles, mumps and rubella. In the UK, we started using the jab in 1988, so we have decades of experience using it. The jab is made from much-weakened live versions of the three viruses. This triggers the It takes up to three weeks after having the vaccine to be fully protected. Like any vaccine, the MMR jab can cause side-effects, which are usually mild and go away very quickly. This includes rash, high temperature, loss of appetite and a general feeling of being unwell for about two or three days. There is also a very small chance children can have a severe allergic reaction. But compared to the complications of Why was it linked with autism? In 1998, Andrew Wakefield and his colleagues published a now-discredited paper in medical journal The Lancet. The paper suggested that the MMR vaccine might be associated with autism and a form of bowel disease. It led to a sharp decline in vaccination rates. Even at the time, the research was considered poor. The Lancet retracted the story in 2010 after Wakefield's article was found 'dishonest' by the General Medical Council. He was later struck off and subsequently, in 2011, the British Medical Journal declared the story fraudulent. Does it contain ingredients from pigs? There are two types of MMR jabs: One with gelatin (animal/pig collagen), and one without it. For some religious groups, the inclusion of pig products is not acceptable. Those people should ask for the vaccine without gelatin.

I wanted to unzip my skin after getting a virus from a charity shop – I tried a silly TikTok hack… don't make my mistake
A WOMAN has warned against trying out a silly "TikTok trend" after she ended up contracting a skin infection when trying it out in a charity shop. Meg had 3 Meg ended up in hospital when a rash that had started behind her ears and on the back of her neck started spreading Credit: tiktok/megsdeangelis 3 She couldn't figure out where she'd got the skin infection from - until she remembered a video where she'd tried out a TikTok trend in the charity shop Credit: tiktok/megsdeangelis 3 She warned other shoppers to always wash the clothes they get from the charity shop to avoid finding themselves in a similar situation Credit: Alamy As she and her friend prepared to head to the tanning booth, Meg's pal pointed out that a small rash that had started on the back of her neck a week before was "spawning" onto her face. And because she had the beauty filter turned on for the video, she hadn't noticed. However the itchiness was hard to ignore, as Meg said she "literally want to unzip out of my skin". After deciding she wouldn't have the tan, Meg instead opted to head to the local hospital, as she said that the speed at which the rash spread "scared" her. Read more Charity shop stories Once she was at the urgent care centre, the doctor told her they were going to treat the rash in two ways - one with oral antibiotics, and one with a cream. When she left, Meg was scratching her head trying to figure out where she could have contracted the virus. She'd previously tried swapping her shampoo, skincare products and jewellery, as she thought they may have been responsible for the little bumps first appearing. However, once she'd been to the hospital, she once again tried to figure out how she had ended up with the infection - and decided to look through her previous videos to see if it jogged her memory. Most read in Fabulous When she did so, she came across a clip of herself in the charity shop - where she tried out a TikTok hack which involves wrapping the waistband of jeans around the neck to see if they'd fit. And when she suggested to the doctor that the hack could have potentially been responsible, he immediately agreed. We went hunting in the charity shop's 'rag house' and were stunned by our discoveries - we found a £80 bag & £600 shirt So Meg then "I just wanted to come on here and say I'm so sorry, I take full responsibility for like spreading that trend," she sighed. "Please don't try that!" She also urged people to always wash their charity shop clothes before putting them on. "That was what caused it," she concluded. And the comments section was almost immediately filled with people stunned by Meg's revelation. Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London. Choose your area - As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated. Don't hang around - If you see something you like, buy it, as it'll likely be gone when you come back Look out for cut-off labels - Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn't sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes. Stay at home - While some charities have their own site, like "Omg I've been doing that hack for YEARS," one gasped. "Stop…I do this all the time…!" another said. "Got it - I will never be doing this again," a third promised. "I've done the jean trick for years - have never had this happen but nice to know it could be unsafe," someone else wrote. "Same - I think it was the hangers at this specific store!!" Meg replied. While others shared their own similar "horror stories", with one writing: "My ex got ink poisoning from his new jeans for wearing them before washing them. "He was in the hospital because of it!" "Thrifting horror story: when I was a child I had a veryyy small on my foot cut from a stubbed toe," another added. "We bought some light up Barbie shoes from a thrift store that my mum let me wear straight out of the store. "I ended up getting very intense staph that had me hospitalised and almost lost my leg." "As someone who works in retail, the clothes stay out all day, thousands of people touch them everyday," a third commented. "We do not wash the clothes - we fold them, fix them up, that is it. "WASH THE CLOTHES BEFORE U WEAR THEM." "This is why I wash everything used or new in stores before I wear it!" someone else sighed.
