This 71-year-old is loving anti-ageing treatment that mimics a £221 spa facial
In the realm of anti-ageing treatments, there's a plethora of options and theories, making it challenging to discern what truly delivers results. While lasers are typically associated with hair removal, they can also rejuvenate skin by stimulating central cells, and now, there's an enticing offer on a celebrity-endorsed anti-ageing laser treatment. LYMA, adored by celebrities such as Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Naomie Harris, is currently offering a complimentary LYMA Supplement starter kit worth £199 with the purchase of either the LYMA Laser for £1,999 or LASER Pro for £4,995. This kit combines the brand's two key innovations: laser technology and next-generation supplementation, providing both surface-level skin support and cellular support from within. The LYMA Laser is a cold laser designed to rejuvenate your skin by activating a genetic switch within each cell. According to the brand, this process can improve wrinkles, reverse sagging, and fade pigmentation. With just three minutes of use per day, customers can see results in as little as 30 days - and it's reportedly painless to use, according to the Mirror. The LYMA Laser Pro takes things up a notch, purportedly tripling the power of the standard LYMA Laser with a larger lens and quicker results. It's also painless, portable, and suitable for all skin tones. It can be used over makeup, SPF, and on the go, as both devices are cordless. The complimentary LYMA Supplement gift comprises eleven components, including turmeric extract, prebiotic beta-glucans, plant-based vitamin D, stable vitamin K, ashwagandha extract, and additional ingredients, which are claimed to assist with sleep, stress, and skin concerns. Users need to consume four capsules daily with water. Shoppers can get a free gift when they purchase either the LYMA Laser or LASER Pro Shop the range This exclusive Gift With Purchase is said to bring together the brands two core innovations which are laser technology and next-gen supplementation that offers skin support on the surface and cellular support from within. The offer ends August 15th. Typically retailing at £199, it's currently offered at no cost when purchasing one of the accompanying laser devices. This promotion concludes on 15th August. For those seeking alternatives, additional choices are available, such as the STYLPRO Pure Red LED Light Therapy Facial Device (£99, Argos). This device penetrates deeply into the skin and is reported to encourage smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. Another alternative is the Sensee Professional LED Light Therapy Face Mask (£139.99, Boots), which helps brighten, tighten, purify, clarify, and naturally reverse signs of ageing. The LYMA range has received favourable reviews on its website, nevertheless. One customer commented: "Expensive but I think it's making a difference and will hopefully cut the cost of going for facials." A separate reviewer noted: "I've been using the laser for - 6 weeks, once a day. While it is a hefty time commitment, I feel like I'm getting a $300 (£221) spa facial every day. It's fairly easy to work into my routine, simple and painless to use, doubles as a fancy gua sha tool and leaves my skin glowing." One satisfied customer shared their experience with a skincare product, noting improvements in their 71-year-old skin: "Though I haven't finished the full three months, I am seeing positive results on my 71-year-old skin: nice how smoother texture, lessening fine lines and maybe some reduction in my deep wrinkles," they said. They also mentioned not using it daily but managing 5-6 times a week, finding the treatment very relaxing and looking forward to upgrading to the Pro version for more consistent use, adding: "Have trouble using it every day, but usually do 5-6 times a week. I must say, I find some treatments very relaxing and something I look forward to doing. "Planning to splurge on the Pro version - cutting the treatment time will help me to be more consistent. Thanks for the great product and very responsive customer service." However, not all feedback was glowing, as one individual encountered an issue with a supplement: "I had only one negative experience, I received a package that had one of the capsules opened, and it stained everywhere it touched and bled through the container that I have from LYMA onto my white marble nightstand." Another person expressed enthusiasm for the product's availability, saying: "Love this so much. Been waiting forever for it to be allowed in the US."

Get Minecraft on Nintendo Switch for less than £5 with new Argos deal
Minecraft on Nintendo Switch is available for less than £5 from Argos with this offer Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time, with more than 300 million copies sold. The voxel-based title allows players to construct their own worlds from scratch, or enjoy unlimited blocks at their disposal to build anything they can dream of. Despite its simple graphics, it can run on virtually any modern hardware, including mobile phones and portable consoles like the Nintendo Switch. In fact, the Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft has just become available for less than £5 for those who use a clever shopping trick at Argos. The UK retailer is offering the game for £19.99, but those who create a brand new TopCashback account using our unique link can snap it up for £4.74. This is due to a £15 cashback bonus on qualifying purchases over £15, for which Minecraft qualifies. Even better, Minecraft is compatible with Nintendo's latest console, the Switch 2. Playing the game on this new console offers noticeable improvements such as enhanced load times, superior frame rates and increased enemy counts. To mark the launch of Minecraft on Nintendo devices, gamers will receive the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack included with the game. This pack features a custom world brimming with Mario-themed Easter eggs and 40 skins based on iconic characters from the Mario series, reports the Manchester Evening News. Developer Mojang has even included some new music discs to discover in the world that play remixed versions of iconic tracks from Super Mario 64. Minecraft supports co-operative play with up to four people sharing the same television, making it perfect for sofa-based gaming sessions. For those seeking a more relaxed adventure to enjoy on their Nintendo Switch, Argos also stocks some LEGO games at relatively affordable prices. The LEGO Harry Potter Collection can be snapped up for £15.99, whilst LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 has also dropped to the same price point.

Another customer added: "This game is so much fun and really worth it. So much to do and really gets you engaged. Took me a while to understand how to play, but once you get the hang of it it's so much fun. Amazing for all ages." Meanwhile, a third player said: " This is a great game, still as fun to play now as it was when it was first released. My seven year old loves it". It's worth bearing in mind that whilst Minecraft includes tutorial guidance, the fundamentals can prove challenging for younger players to master. "Bought this because my son has been asking for ages, not sure I understand the premise of the game or how to work it," one reviewer wrote. "He gets frustrated too, because I can't help him." Another said: "I brought this last month and I couldn't figure it out. Far too difficult. I was looking forward in building houses etc but no luck."
