Elevate your skincare routine without breaking the bank with REN's massive 40% sale off their bundles and gift sets before they close down for good
Credit: REN Clean Skincare
The much-loved label REN is preparing to close down this month.
The East London brand is best known for leading the pack with a stripped-back, no-nonsense approach to skincare.
Founded by Rob Calcraft and Antony Buck, it was ahead of the curve when it came to so-called "clean" beauty.
The brand was a trailblazer for sustainable beauty, championing natural ingredients and formulas gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Shoppers are acting fast to snap up their favourites at half price before they're gone for good.
Big Sale
The REN online store is offering 30% off sitewide, giving you the perfect excuse to stock up on clean, effective skincare - including cult favourites Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic and REN Bio Retinoid Youth Cream.
And if you're after even bigger savings, don't miss their gift sets and bundles, now going for 40% off - making it easier than ever to elevate your skincare routine without breaking the bank.
The Evercalm Gift of Calm gift set is your ticket to stronger, more nourished and deeply hydrated skin.
Packed with natural bioactives to soothe and protect your skin, this bestselling Evercalm trio comes with a limited-edition cosmetics bag made from 100% recycled materials.
It includes the Evercalm Barrier Support Elixir 30ml, Evercalm Global Protection Cream 15ml and Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm 15ml.
Buying these products separately would set you back £106 - but the bundle is just £49.50, saving you a whopping £56.50!
That's nearly half price for three bestsellers - a total steal for skincare lovers.
Skincare whizz urges beauty fans to hit high street store for £2.49 spray that works a treat to stop spots on hot days
Goodbye after 25 years
Named after the Swedish word for 'clean,' REN was born in 2000 when its founder's pregnant wife started reacting badly to her usual products.
From the beloved Evercalm balm to the barrier-boosting elixir, REN's lineup has always favoured planet-friendly bioactives — ditching parabens, synthetic fragrances, sulfates and petrochemicals way before it was trendy.
REN was acquired in 2015 by beauty giant Unilever, joining its Prestige Brands division.
Its eco-conscious ethos set the blueprint for every green beauty brand that came after.
REN's gentle, effective formulas have won fans across the board — from teens discovering skincare for the first time, to those battling eczema.
While the industry buzzes with greenwashing nonsense, REN has remained a rare trustworthy name in sustainable skincare for 25 years.
Biggest beauty mistakes
Fabulous' Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do's and don'ts when it comes to beauty.
"No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you're not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted.
"There aren't many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime." Not wearing SPF: Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital.
Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital. Using expired products: Best case, they're ineffective and don't deliver the results they promise, worst case they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products differ - for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months while lipstick can last for 9-18 months. Check the 'POA' symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and will have a number inside for how many months it's safe once opened. If you can't remember when you opened your product, throw it away and start again, marking the month and year with a permanent marker on the packaging.

Not knowing your undertones: If you're using make-up with the wrong undertones, it'll never look natural no matter how much you blend it! An easy trick to work out whether you have cool, warm or neutral undertones is to check the veins on your wrist - if they look blue, you have cool undertones, if they're green, you have warm and if they're a mix you have neutral.

Not washing your face before bed: it's as simple as this, if you're not washing your face before you go to sleep, everything that's been on your skin during the day is sitting there for even longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare applied on top isn't going to be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you're probably going to end up with dirty pillows too - yuck!
Official Statement
REN revealed the last time consumers can buy products from its official website on Instagram.
They shared the date and a heartfelt message alongside an image which said: "We have some news… News for our fRENds ♥︎ You can still shop with us over at renskincare.com until 31 July 2025.

People warned to stop storing eggs in one part of the kitchen during summer
As the UK experiences a humid August, it is important to store eggs correctly to avoid them becoming contaminated. Here is what the experts say about storing eggs during the summer In the UK, it's not unusual to see eggs perched on kitchen worktops, but caution is advised, especially in summer when contamination risks spike. While British eggs typically fare well at room temperature due to their unprocessed nature and protective coating against bacteria and moisture, the fluctuating weather and humidity of August demand a more stable environment. The egg specialists at Geldard Farm Eggs have weighed in, recommending refrigeration for optimal freshness and safety. They advise: "For maximum freshness, it's best to store eggs in the refrigerator at a steady temperature below 20C. The consistent cool environment slows down the ageing process and helps maintain egg quality for longer." Why should eggs be refrigerated during the warmer months? Bacon tastes better when you ditch oil and add alternative ingredient to the pan Baked beans will taste better and won't go mushy if you do 1 thing Storing eggs above 20C can lead to condensation, creating an ideal scenario for salmonella and other bacteria to breach the shell. This increases the likelihood of food poisoning or the eggs spoiling before their use-by date, making room temperature storage risky in summer, reports the Express. To ensure eggs remain fresh, they should be transferred directly from the supermarket to the fridge – avoid mixing them with any that have been sitting out on your kitchen counter. What's the most effective method for refrigerating eggs? Storing eggs in the fridge door might seem logical, but it's actually not ideal due to temperature variations each time the door swings open. The specialist explained: "Many refrigerators have an egg tray in the door, but this isn't the best place for storage. The temperature in the fridge door fluctuates due to frequent opening and closing, which can reduce egg freshness." For optimal egg preservation, they should be placed on the middle or lower shelf where the temperature remains more stable. Given that eggshells are porous and can soak up strong smells, it's wise to keep eggs separate from potent foods like onions or garlic to prevent flavour transfer. To ensure eggs remain germ-free and safe to consume during the warmer months, it's recommended to refrigerate them promptly after purchasing.

British girl, 13, died while snorkelling on family holiday at Florida theme park
It is 'not possible' to establish exactly how a 13-year-old girl died while snorkelling on holiday in Florida, a coroner has concluded. Anna Beaumont was visiting the Discovery Cove theme park in Orlando with her family last May when she was found unresponsive in a natural-style pool. She was snorkelling with her dad Peter in the pool which featured 'shallow and deeper areas, coral reefs, rocky structures and wildlife'. Peter moved away from her to see her younger brother, and about 10 minutes later he heard a lifeguard whistle and saw Anna was in trouble. She was rushed to hospital after being found without her snorkel with blood and water in her mask, but did not regain consciousness and died the next day. An inquest into her death has been held in Pontypridd, and coroner Kerrie Burge said there was 'no evidence' to confirm how Anna came to be unresponsive in the water. A strong swimmer and keen rower, Anna, from St Fagans in Cardiff, had previously been diagnosed with childhood absence epilepsy, after she was seizure free for three years. Ms Burge said: 'Whilst a small risk of seizures remained, Anna had not experienced any. 'She was not seen to have a seizure or to encounter any difficulties and there was no medical evidence of seizure activity during her time in hospital or at post mortem examination.' While Anna's cause of death was given as immersion in water, the coroner said during her conclusion that 'It is not possible to establish, on the balance of probabilities, how Anna came to be in difficulties in the water.' Tributes have been paid to the 'talented young lady' by Anna's headteacher and the chair of her rowing club. Trevor Wing, chair of Llandaff rowing club, said she was 'a keen rower who had been training hard all winter and was enjoying the recent water sessions'. He added: 'She was a lovely and talented young lady and will be greatly missed. More Trending 'All the junior section and the rowing club wish to express their heartfelt condolences to Anna's family.' Andrew Williams, headteacher of Radyr Comprehensive, said: 'The very thought of losing a child is an unimaginable journey and I know I speak on behalf of the whole school community when I say that our thoughts are with Anna's family as they try to come to terms with their loss. 'Anna was a cherished member of our school family, and her absence will be profoundly felt by pupils, staff and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

The common herb that makes your skin glow – add it to milk or tea for an instantly soothing drink
YOU'RE probably familiar with this common herb as a staple curry ingredient, but it has been used in beauty treatments for centuries. From giving skin a glowing sheen, to reducing the appearance of stretch marks and helping fight blemishes, it would appear there's no end to its abilities. The common herb - Tumeric Tumeric is a plant from the ginger family, which is dried and ground down into a tasty spice. It's commonly used in Indian food and gives curry that tell-tale yellow colouring. But it has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal herb. Curcumin is the yellow pigment in turmeric, which can also be found in ginger - but in smaller amounts. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and analgesic (pain relieving) properties - according to the British Medical Journal (BMJ). Some also claim it can reduce cognitive decline, improve heart health, reduce the risk of diabetes and treat side effects of both arthritis (for anti-inflammatory reasons) and diabetes. How to prepare the perfect drink The spice clears acne by keeping pores clean, reduces dark spots, helps produce collagen, and shields skin from environmental damage. People looking for natural options can drink turmeric milk or tea as an affordable way to get that desired glow from within. Smoothies Blend it into your smoothies for a nutritional boost, especially in green smoothies. My nan is 77 but doesn't look it - she swears by her boiling water hack & a £10 No7 buy for beautiful smooth skin Turmeric Tea: Steep fresh or ground turmeric in hot water with ginger and other spices for a soothing tea. Golden Milk: Simmer turmeric with milk (or a dairy-free alternative), black pepper, cinnamon, and a sweetener for a warming drink. Quick facts about Tumeric Turmeric is a member of the Zingiberaceae family, which is the same family ginger belongs to – it's very similar to ginger in lots of ways too Turmeric plants grow to be around one metre tall, but they're mainly grown for what's underneath the soil – the roots Turmeric's been used in the Himalayas in Ayurvedic medicine for over 5,000 years People in the Middle Ages called turmeric 'Indian saffron' because it was often used as a less expensive alternative to saffron Turmeric paste is a home remedy for sunburn and is an ingredient in many commercial sunscreens India is the world's largest producer of turmeric powder, as well as the world's largest consumer More Beauty News 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. Another woman who was left with a 'turkey neck' after losing three stone on weight loss jabs is finally comfortable in her own skin after getting a £10,000 'mummy makeover' abroad. Victoria Vigors decided to have a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, face lift and neck lift after using Mounjaro - a prescription injection used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity - to slim down. And skincare fans will be racing to Aldi stores as they can save £32 on a beauty must-have. The budget retailer has launched a skincare buy that will give you the perfect summer glow.
