Skincare gadget loved by Dita Von Teese that has dermatologists 'surprised by the results'
A top celebrity makeup artist who has worked on stars such as Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley swears by one essential product she takes 'on every job'. The LYMA Laser is her go-to gadget for combating signs of ageing like wrinkles and pigmentation.
Romy Soleimani, the MUA behind the faces of A-list actors, said: "I take it on every single job with me because it's so easy to travel with." This clinical-grade cold laser device isn't just a favourite of Soleimani - it's also endorsed by stars including Sienna Miller, Kate Beckinsale, Cynthia Erivo, and Dita Von Teese.
Designed specifically for the face and neck, the LYMA Laser comes with a special lens tailored for these areas, but it can also be used for other parts of the body like the knees. Priced at £1,999, it provides a pain-free approach to skin rejuvenation.
The device is engineered to rejuvenate skin by reactivating cells vital for collagen and elastin production, and increasing energy reserves devoted to detoxification and hydration. The result is an accelerated regeneration of skin cells, which means tighter, brighter, and more youthful skin, reports the Mirror.

LYMA also offers an upscale Pro model priced at £4,995. However, there is competition in the market, with alternatives such as the CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 2, which costs £399. The innovative LED face mask employs red light therapy to ramp up collagen production, promising impressive results like a 30% reduction in wrinkles and 57% enhancement in skin plumpness.
Elsewhere, BeautyPro has a selection of travel-friendly beauty gadgets, including the LED Wand Device priced at £79. This nifty device uses red light therapy to help smooth and firm skin, making it a must-have for beauty enthusiasts on the go.
Speaking on the development of the laser, Lucy Goff, the founder of LYMA, said: "The original version of the LYMA Laser's technology was a gigantic floor-standing machine. Over 120 iterations, we got it down to a portable, painless - and yet incredibly powerful - little device. It's light, and easy to use when at home or on the move, because travel is integral to so many lives."
She added: "That's why it's also safe for hand luggage. It truly is the only device you need, and it fits perfectly into whatever routine you already have, whether at home on the sofa or while travelling."
With 150 customer reviews, LYMA's Laser is receiving praise, with one user giving it five stars and commenting: "I love it. I am in control of my skin."
Another penned: "Though I haven't finished the full three months, I am seeing positive results on my 71-year-old skin. Nice smooth texture, lessening of fine lines, and maybe some reductions in my deep wrinkles. I have trouble doing it every day, but I do it 5-6 times a week.
"Must say, I do find the treatment very relaxing, and it is something I look forward to doing. I am planning to splurge on the Pro version - cutting the treatment time will help me be more consistent. Thanks for a great product and very responsive customer service."
One customer expressed their ambivalence about the product, stating: "I'm having mixed feelings about this product I do like the laser but for what my reason for it I not sure if it is helping [and] it is a commitment."
A fourth shared: "We dermatologists are not big fans of at-home devices. In general we think that clinic based treatments will give faster and dramatic outcomes. I bought this device anyway to treat myself for Christmas. I already had good skin but I was starting to notice sagging skin and signs of ageing."
Detailing their experience, they continued: "After two months of use (which could have been more consistent but Christmas and holidays happened) I am surprised by the results... my jawline is prominent, skin is more even-toned, overall I feel more confident (certain changes even I can't pinpoint). I am so pleased I took the risk and bought it. Definitely be recommending to my right set of patients."
A fifth provided a hopeful conclusion: "Takes commitment, but I am two weeks in and people are already commenting on the luminosity of my skin."

How much screen time is too much for kids? Parents share strategies and concerns
A new parent has sparked a debate online after asking other mums and dads how many hours they allow their child to watch TV or play on a iPad or tablet It's a contemporary conundrum that has most parents poised with their personal perspectives. Thus, it was no surprise when one inquisitive parent reached out on social media to canvass opinion on how long other families let their children use iPads or tablets, reports the Mirror. They posed the question: "How old are your kids, and what are your screen time rules? My kid is two months and won't get screens until she's at least two years so I have a while to think about it, but just curious to see what works for other parents." This simple query ignited spirited discussions online, as numerous folks divulged what constituted 'normal' for their family units. One participant said: "We don't do screens first thing in the morning, and besides that we just try to keep it reasonable and absolutely turn it off once kiddo gets crabby/demanding about it. I've found it more effective to monitor her attitude than have a specific time limit. Some days it's a lot less than others." Yet another chimed in: "Never allow YouTube. Ban it from day one. But if I could, just go with the flow." Flexibility seemed key for some, as they explained: "So many parents that have rigid rules end up with issues later on. It doesn't have to be so hard. If you don't make it an issue, it won't be. "My daughter is six now. Some days she watches a movie, other days not one minute of TV at all." Notably, some stressed the importance of balance: "Some weekends we are so busy we never turn the TV on! It doesn't have to be this all or nothing awful thing. TV is fun. We love watching as a family and having something we can all get into. "Some days I can't wait to unwind with a bit of TV. Kids are people too. Between friends, play, homework, after school activities, ballet etc... they also need a reset." A third user commented: "Mine are two and five. I don't really limit and we really don't have an issue with excessive telly. Some days they watch more than others. "But they also don't have any tablets or anything like that so I think that helps. My two year old doesn't even really watch it, it just plays in the background." According to a study by Ofcom, 40 percent of children aged eight to 11-years-old take their mobiles to bed with them, with 71 percent of 12 to 15 year olds doing the same. Their research discovered that 93 percent of eight to 11 year olds spend approximately 13.5 hours online per week and 74 percent spend around 10 hours a week playing video games. The NHS advises that children under five should have "very limited screen time" as "the first year of a child's life is crucial for cognitive, physical and social development". How much screen time your child should have, according to the NHS Babies and toddlers (0 - 2 years): No screen time, except for video calling with caregivers and family members. Preschool children (2 - 5 years): Up to one hour per day. School children (6 - 12 years): Up to two hours of screen time per day. Teenagers (13+ years): No more than two hours per day. A statement on Twinkl reads: "Regardless of age, parental involvement is very important in setting screen time amounts for any child. "Watching shows or films as a family or playing video games together can be great family bonding activities and can lead to positive learning experiences for children. "Parents can also model good behaviour by managing their own screen time. This could be creating a healthy balance between technology use and real-life interactions such as not using devices during mealtimes. "While excessive screen time without any physical activity can definitely be harmful, screen time alone isn't necessarily always a problem. "Some feel that parents should focus on making sure their children are using screens safely and productively, rather than putting strict limits on any amount of time without considering other factors."

We got a sneak peek at Boohoo's new summer range– these buys will sell out fast
Our Mirror fashion team got an early look at Boohoo's summer range, and it's packed with surprisingly high-quality pieces... One of the perks of our job on a fashion desk is that we get to see early glimpses of new fashion collections before they hit the rails. And last week, we got a sneak peek at Boohoo's latest summer drop. If you had any reservations about the quality or fit of Boohoo products, trust us, you won't after seeing these new-in launches. Playing on summer picnic style, the range features holiday and staycation essentials in breezy linen and silk-like fabrics, fun gingham and stripe prints, and with fruit print motifs. Many of the pieces also come with petite and plus options, meaning there's something for everyone. We spotted five key trends in the collection, ranging from cherry red to skorts, and we predict these pieces below will sell out fast! 'Add to basket' fingers at the ready... Beaded sandals Capri Beaded Sliders, £20 Ibiza Beaded Sliders, £12.50 Beaded slider sandals are set to be the hero shoe of summer 2025 – and it's easy to see why. This season's take blends laid-back, beachy ease with elevated, artisanal detail. Think intricate beadwork, playful embellishments and colour-pop accents that instantly lift a simple outfit. We spotted these two 'Ibiza' and 'Capri' pairs in gorgeous colourways. Co-ord sets Tie Side Linen Top & Wide Leg Trouser Co-ord, £25.20 Gingham Woven Boxy Co-Ord, £25.20 Plus Stripe Linen Look Oversized Shirt, £19.80 (+ matching trousers) Co-ord sets are having a major moment for summer 2025, with linen and satin-like fabrics leading the charge. From crisp, breathable linen that keeps things cool to silky finishes that catch the light just right, this trend is all about ease and elegance. The beauty of a co-ord lies in its instant polish– throw it on and you're done. There's plenty of choice in Boohoo's new range, but these three above are perfect for daytime or evening dressing. Mini dresses Petite Tailored Cowl Detail Wrap Mini Dress, £28.80 Stripe Sleeveless A-Line Mini Dress, £12 Stripe Ruched Flare Cuff Shirt Dress, £24 The mini dress is making a strong comeback for summer 2025, but forget the bodycon bandage styles millennials once lived in. This season's take is softer, more playful, and refreshingly effortless. Think babydoll shapes, flippy hems, and light fabrics that move with the breeze, often styled with flats or chunky trainers for a modern edge. Whether it's puff sleeves, cut-out details or a simple strappy silhouette, the new mini feels flirty without fuss. Cherry red Linen Tie Back Puff Sleeve Midaxi Dress, £22.50 Mon Cheri Applique Oversized T-Shirt, £12.80 Cherry red is set to be the standout shade of summer 2025: bold, juicy and impossible to ignore. This vibrant hue is showing up everywhere, from slinky slip dresses to tailored co-ords and statement accessories, offering a punchy alternative to soft pastels or neutral basics. Whether worn head-to-toe or as a single pop against denim or white, cherry red brings instant energy. Skorts Short With Double Split Skirt Layover, £13 Skorts are making an unexpected, and very welcome, comeback this summer, blending the polish of a mini skirt with the practicality of shorts. Perfect for busy days, festivals, or just keeping things breezy and effortless, they're popping up in everything from crisp cottons to fluid satins. This time around, think tailored cuts, sporty silhouettes and minimalist styling. Less Y2K, more elevated ease. Looking for other new-in collections to shop? M&S has just dropped its own summer range featuring gorgeous pieces for holidays. However, you'll need to head into your nearest store to shop the range, since the ongoing cyber attack is still ruling out online shopping for the moment. Alternatively, H&M's summer range is online and offers designer-looking silhouettes for much less than you'd think.

Strictly's Tasha Ghouri says 'future looks bright' as she carves out new career
After making it all the way to the Strictly Come Dancing final last year, Tasha now has her sights set on something new as she revealed that the "future looks bright" Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha Ghouri has revealed the "future looks bright" as she has opened up about taking a new path in her career. It has been a rollercoaster few months for the former Love Island star after she made it all the way to the Strictly Come Dancing final last December before being pipped to top spot by stand-up comedian, Chris McCausland. Meanwhile, not long after her success on the show, her relationship with Andrew Le Page came to an end, with the news of the break-up coming as a shock to their social media followers. But, away from the latest goings-on in her life, Tasha recently explained that, while she isn't entirely certain what the future holds, she is eager to "push" herself in the months ahead. She told the Mirror: "I don't really know, the future looks bright. I want to do more presenting and documentaries." She added: "That's the path I want to go down. I've done quite a few TV appearances that are coming out soon but I think I kind of want to push myself and challenge myself this year." Away from her latest TV exploits, the 26-year-old has also dedicated much of her time to charity, lending support to the likes of NDCS (National Deaf Children's Society), RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People), and Deaf Kidz International. The charities hold a particularly important place in her heart after she herself was diagnosed as deaf shortly after being born. Prior to her fifth birthday, the Strictly star was fitted with a cochlear implant which helps people hear by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve. More recently, the former Love Islander has lent her support to a recent collaboration between Disney and the Make A Wish charity. The star appeared as the celebrity ambassador during their Disney Wish event at Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire. Over the course of three days, children with serious illnesses had the opportunity to meet and spend time with some of their favourite characters, as well as Tasha who was on hand to meet them and their families at the event. Looking back on her time spent with the children at the event, Tasha said that it "was such a beautiful, magical day, that I look back on and feel grateful to be part of".
