After a ten-year struggle with skin problems, Nic Taylor stumbled upon an unexpected remedy - courtesy of his grandmother. Despite trying 'what felt like every single product' available, it was a pot of cream accompanied by a handwritten note from his nan that brought about a significant change.
He shared: "I'd been suffering from blemishes for over ten years, when a parcel arrived out of the blue from my Grandma." Despite numerous unsuccessful attempts with various products and treatments, which even led to depression during a course of medication, Nic was doubtful about yet another solution.
"I'd tried what felt like every single product and salon treatment under the sun, and spent thousands of pounds. Nothing worked,' Nic said. 'I even resorted to medication which led to a short period of depression. But in January 2017, Grandma sent me a pot of cream through the post with a handwritten note urging me to try it. I was sceptical, but to my complete surprise it cleared my spots and blemishes in just four days ."

Households urged to dissolve 54p tablet in water and feed to certain plants
Gardening can be a massive headache when your plants are struggling - fortunately this easy hack involving one popular tablet will have them growing bigger and healthier If you want your plants to grow bigger and stronger this summer, experts say you can feed them this one common headache tablet. Summer has finally arrived and many of us are stepping back out into our gardens to enjoy them in full bloom. It's also the time of year when many crops begin to ripen and trees bear fruit. However, if you're looking to get the most out of your plants, it's usually best to give them a little boost. A popular way to do this is by adding fertiliser or compost to the soil. However, it can be time consuming to purchase or make your own – which is why gardening experts recommend using Aspirin. Commonly used as a painkiller for issues like headaches, aspirin actually contains properties that can be hugely beneficial to certain plants. This is because it's made from salicylic acid. This is a compound which is actually naturally produced by many plants. The experts from Gardening Know How explain: 'Plants produce minute amounts of salicylic acid on their own when they are stressed.' They continue: 'This tiny amount helps plants cope when they are under insect attack, dry, underfed, or maybe even experiencing a disease issue.' They also add that it helps boost the plant's immune system. Aspirin dissolved in water is touted as remedial for plants that are in need of a boost specifically, such as those that are diseased and in need of urgent attention. Aspirin must be used sparingly In order to give your plants a dose of aspirin, it's recommended to dissolve a tablet in water first. Generally, one tablet should be mixed with 4.5 litres of water, although this may change depending on the plant. Be careful not to overdo it with the aspirin, either. Typically, you should only spray plants with an aspirin solution every few weeks to avoid damaging them Gardening Know How warns that there are potential side effects if aspirin is used improperly. Too much may lead to plants developing brown spots or having a 'burnt' appearance. To avoid this, they advise that it's best to spray the aspirin solution early in the morning. This is because it gives plant leaves the best chance of drying off before evening. They also recommend spraying early to avoid harming any beneficial insects. They write: 'Bees and other pollinators are most active once sun has touched the plants, so a period of time prior to that sun's kiss is the best. You should also wait to see how plants respond to the treatment, aspirin may not be suitable for all flora. However, the nightshade family, which includes aubergine, peppers and tomatoes, can 'benefit greatly'. If you don't have any Aspirin lying around your medicine cupboard, no need to worry. You can pick up a pack of tablets from Boots for a bargain 54p.

‘This affordable hair mask revived my dry bleached hair after one treatment'
If you're looking for a quick and affordable solution to dull, dry or damaged hair, Shopping Writer Meghan might have just the ticket with this 1-minute hair mask that costs less than £15 I've been on the hunt for the best hair care products to resurrect dry and damaged hair this year. As someone with bleached hair, ensuring my hair remains healthy and nourished can be difficult, especially after a trip to the hairdressers when my hair is at its most fragile. After trying various brands and products, there's one I come back to time and time again—OGX. They have a one-minute hair mask that's done wonders for my hair. I've used OGX shampoo and conditioners for years, but they've recently released a Bond Repair 1-Minute Treatment Mask that's set to revive dry and damaged hair in as little as 60 seconds. Now that's a bold claim to live up to, so I thought I'd put it to the test, and needless to say I'm impressed with the results. Currently retailing for an affordable £11.99 on Amazon, Boots, and Superdrug, this OGX Repair and Protect Bond Repair Mask promises to deliver rapid repair to damaged hair, providing shiny and smooth results that last. Boasting an innovative Bond Protein Complex, this repair mask is formulated with dual-action repair technology that rebuilds bonds in the inner hair cortex and binds to damaged sites on the hair cuticle to help keep hair strong, smooth, and resilient. The one-minute damage repair hair treatment mask is designed without sulfated surfactants to avoid exposing hair to more damage or strong chemicals. The mask deeply nourishes hair to reduce visible signs of damage for stronger and healthier locks. As instructed, I used this mask after shampooing and conditioning with my favourite OGX products; I tend to reach for the OGX Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner (£4 each). I then applied a generous amount of the hair mask onto my hand and then worked it through to evenly distribute it into my damp hair from mid to ends. It's worth mentioning I have relatively short and thin hair, so I used a comparably small amount and practically covered all of my hair, though if you have longer or thicker hair, the amount you'll need will vary. You're then supposed to leave the mask on for one minute before rinsing it off and relishing the results. The first time I used the mask, I decided to put it on before going to bed, as I've found hair masks work best when left on for longer than the minimum amount. When I woke up and washed out the mask, my hair was unbelievably soft to the touch and felt healthier than ever. Especially during the hot weather we've been seeing through the spring and into the summer, dealing with dry hair can seem like an uphill battle, but this OGX hair mask transformed my dry and bleach-damaged hair overnight. Following this dazzling first impression, I opted to see what the results would look and feel like if I used the mask for one minute as directed. When compared to leaving the mask on for eight hours, the one-minute results were just as impressive. My hair looked shinier and healthier and felt smooth to the touch. What's just as impressive as the short treatment time is the minimal amount I needed to achieve these results. Costing an already budget-friendly £12, this hair mask is set to last for dozens of treatments while offering the same long-term results you'd expect to see from a salon treatment. It's not just me who loves this mask, as Amazon shoppers have bestowed plenty of 5-star reviews. One buyer beams: "The Treatment Mask is not too thick and has a really lovely scent. It made my hair soft and glossy without making it greesy. Highly recommended." Another shares: "Used this as a quick fix before a night out—worked a treat! Smoothed my split ends and made my hair look much neater without feeling greasy. Just a couple of pumps was enough, even for my thick hair. Small bottle, but it goes a long way. Great for last-minute touch-ups, though I wouldn't use it every day." And a third chimes in: "I love the OGX shampoo and conditioner range and have used quite a few of them, the coconut being a particular favourite. As my hair is bleached to within of its life, it needs all the conditioning it can get. I was therefore really keen to try out the OGX Bond Repair treatment. The treatment mask is applied just like any other hair mask. After shampooing and conditioning with your favourite OGX products, apply a generous amount of the hair mask into your palm and evenly distribute into damp hair from mids to end; leave in for at least one minute and rinse." They go on to add: " The mask is white and is of a creamy consistency and has a nice, subtle fragrance. After washing and conditioning, I apply the mask and tend to leave it on for the full duration of my soak in the bath, circa 30 minutes. The mask leaves my hair feeling really soft and silky, without leaving any greasy residue or weighing my hair down. I'm actually rather impressed with how well it deeply conditions my bleached damaged hair. As with all hair care products, results will vary from person to person depending on hair type and condition. All I can say is that my personal experience of using this product has so far been very positive." You can pick up the OGX Repair and Protect Bond Repair Mask for an affordable £11.99 on Amazon, Boots, and Superdrug.
