The skin on your neck is one of the most delicate areas of your body. It's thinner than the skin on your face, with fewer oil glands and less collagen, making it more susceptible to signs of ageing like sagging, wrinkles, and crepey texture.
Plus, your neck is often overlooked in skincare routines, meaning it's prone to showing signs of sun damage and environmental stress.
But, giving your neck the same care and attention as your face can make a huge difference in how smooth and youthful it looks, and Boost Lab's viral Neck Firming Serum is the perfect way to do it.
At just £24.99, this serum is getting a lot of attention – and for good reason. It works wonders on tightening and smoothing that delicate skin, making it feel firmer and more youthful and has customers leaving five-star reviews after seeing their own incredible results.
Packed with Edelweiss extract, Tef Seed Extract and a vegan collagen alternative, the Boost Lab Neck Firming Serum helps firm, smooth and hydrate for a more lifted, youthful-looking neck. Plus, there's no sulphates, no parabens or added fragrances making it brilliant for those with even the most sensitive skin. BUY NOW FOR £24.99
This serum is loaded with ingredients that work to firm up your neck skin. Edelweiss extract strengthens and protects the skin, giving it a firmer feel, while Tef Seed Extract boosts elasticity and smooths out wrinkles.
The vegan collagen alternative encourages your skin to produce more of its own collagen, giving it a plumper, tighter appearance. Together, these ingredients work to firm and smooth your neck, leaving it looking more lifted and youthful.
What's brilliant is that this serum is completely free from sulphates, parabens, and fragrances, and it's never tested on animals so you can feel good about what you're putting on your skin.
Customers are loving the results (just check out the before-and-after photos!), with the serum receiving an impressive 2,800 five-star reviews, including one from Hema P., who said: 'I've been using this product for a few weeks now, and I feel my skin is a little tighter, and the lines in my neck are lighter. Long may it continue.' More Trending
Caroline C. shared: 'I can honestly say that I'm not disappointed. The skin on my neck is much smoother and more or less line-free, and I've only been using this product for roughly 2 weeks! Will definitely re-order.'
And Robyn M. left this glowing review: 'I adore the neck serum. It has become part of my daily routine and has dramatically improved the look and feel of my skin. Consistency is key. I highly recommend it and confirm that you will see amazing results if you stick with it.'
If you're starting to notice the skin on your neck could use a little extra help, Boost Lab's Neck Firming Serum is definitely worth a try.
It's packed with ingredients that help firm, tighten, and smooth, and it won't break the bank either. At just £24.99, it's a total steal and with thousands of glowing reviews, you're in good company.

Lisa Snowdon praises 'wrinkle-fighting' serum that gives immediate glow

This Morning presenter Lisa Snowdon has just shared her go-to skincare trio for healthy, hydrated skin, including an anti-ageing serum with hundreds of five-star reviews TV and radio presenter Lisa Snowdon has been back sharing some of her skincare secrets with her fans, posting an impressive 'before and after' video after using three skincare serums she's been loving. Following on from how much she loved using BOOST Lab's neck-firming serum, Lisa, 53, has demonstrated on Instagram how she has extended her Boost Lab routine to also incorporate its Bio-Active Eye Reset Serum, £18.99, and Multi-Peptide Anti-Ageing Serum, £18.99. These three serums can be bought individually, or together in a money-saving set for £45.93 instead of their usual £57.42, and all three products have some impressive before-and-after results the brand's website. In the sponsored Instagram post, Lisa first applies the Eye Reset Serum, which targets fine lines, puffiness and dark circles. She calls it "so lightweight, so refreshing and easily absorbed", later sharing her top tip of keeping her bottle in the fridge during the recent spell of hot weather for extra depuffing. Lisa then follows this with the BOOST Lab Anti-Ageing Serum, which she calls " good to fight wrinkles" and describing how "you get a glow immediately and it's so hydrating". She then shares on camera how her skin is looking two weeks, describing that "my whole skin looks more hydrated, more glowy, and my eyes look great". Lisa isn't the only fan of this peptide serum, as it has amassed hundreds of five-star reviews on the Boost Lab website. "Definitely does as it says," one person wrote. "I use this both day and night only on parts that have the most wrinkles like the forehead. I have seen noticeable difference in my skin, smoother and bright." "Seems to work, I have noticed my wrinkles are shrinking," another pleased shopper commented. "Getting compliments left right and centre about my skin!" a third glowing review reads. Not everyone was completely convinced, however, with one person noting that they "haven't noticed a change as yet even though [they] have deep wrinkles". Lisa's ad post comes after the TV presenter shared her results after using BOOST Lab's Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum, £24.99, which sells one bottle every minute. She wrote: "I have to say I've been super impressed [by this BOOST Lab neck serum]! It's lovely to use, easily absorbed and over the two week trial I've noticed a smoother, more toned neck and dec." The BOOST Lab Multi-Peptide Anti-Ageing Serum, meanwhile, is perhaps proving popular due to a growing customer interest in skincare that contains peptides as a way to help to turn back the clock. Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP, £79, has proven to be super popular since its launch earlier this year – including with own own beauty editor – while The Ordinary's Multi-Peptide + HA Serum, £15.90, is a great option for those on a budget.

Mouse droppings discovered at McDonald's franchise

Mouse droppings were found throughout a kitchen and under a service counter during a food safety inspection at a McDonald's restaurant. A senior environmental health officer found evidence of a rodent infestation at the branch — and warned it could pose a contamination risk. The official found further mouse droppings, along with food debris and grease build up, under milkshake equipment and a trolley of chilled food items being readied for service at the franchise in Maidstone, Kent. A report concluded 'there is an active mouse infestation' and ordered a 'thorough' clean up at the branch in The Mall Chequers Centre. McDonald's said that three subsequent visits found the premises to be 'satisfactory', with no further recommendations for action. Maidstone Borough Council confirmed to Metro today that it is has since re-inspected the premises and awarded the business four out of a maximum five stars for food hygiene. The inspector wrote: 'There was evidence of a current mouse infestation within the premises at the time of my visit. 'I found mouse droppings in the main kitchen and servery, in the wash up area and dry store. 'Droppings were on the floor under fridges and equipment, under food preparation benches, under food storage trolleys, on a plastic conduit under the serving counter and on the lower shelf in the dry store.' A picture taken by the inspector shows droppings on a plastic conduit under a service counter. Unwrapped food packaging, including burger boxes, was also discovered in a store room by the official on February 11 this year. The report states: 'I found mouse droppings in the store room on the lower shelves and throughout the kitchen and servery which may lead to contamination of food or food equipment. 'Food and food equipment must be protected from contamination at all times. 'Food and food equipment including wrapping material are to be stored in such a manner that they are not exposed to a risk of contamination.' The document newly released under the Freedom of Information Act also contains pictures of grease underneath fryers at the restaurant, which was awarded one star for food hygiene at the time. Franchise owners AMH Family Enterprises Ltd were told: 'Droppings were on the floor under fridges and equipment, under food preparation benches, under food storage trolleys, on plastic conduit under the serving counter and on the lower shelf in the dry store during my visit.' Holes and voids, including a gap under a door to The Mall, were identified by the inspector as being possible access points for rodents. The restaurant was told: 'You must carry out a thorough clean throughout the premises and maintain in a clean condition so you can see if there has been any rodent activity, reduce the risk of contamination and identify any areas where rodents may be entering the premises.' Staff said they had 'seen mice in the Mall' but were 'unaware' of any current pest activity on the premises, according to the inspector. The branch was marked 'major improvement necessary' in the rating, which was live on the Food Standards Agency website as of June 24. A McDonald's spokesperson said: 'Hygiene and cleanliness are of the utmost importance to us and once we became aware of pest activity, we proactively closed the restaurant to complete a full sanitisation. More Trending 'We have worked closely with our pest control company and the local authority to implement a number of measures to ensure that the high standards of hygiene our customers expect are maintained.' The issues were part of a wider problem within the shopping centre and three subsequent environmental health visits proved 'satisfactory' with no further recommendations, according to the representative. A spokesperson for the council said: 'Maidstone Borough Council Food & Safety Team undertook an unannounced visit to McDonald's, The Mall Maidstone, on 11 February 2025, which identified a series of contamination risks. The MBC Team has since revisited on 3 June 2025 and, having been satisfied with the works to address the situation, has re-rated the business to four stars.'

I put pineapple and anchovies on my pizza — it horrifies my kids

Welcome back to What's Cooking, Metro's food series where we find out exactly what's going on behind the scenes in the nation's kitchens. This week we're rifling through 46-year-old Bethany Eaton's kitchen in Kent to see what she's hiding in her cupboards, fridge and freezer. The mum-of-two is a former police officer, who spent six years working for the Metropolitan Police, before switching gears and earning a degree in nutritional medicine. Bethany always wanted to do something to help people and thought becoming a police officer would be the way to do it, but the long hours, lack of breaks and stressful nature of the job soon took a toll on her body. She claims getting into nutrition 'changed her life' as she overhauled everything from her working hours to her diet. When changing up her own eating habits, she spotted a gap in the food market for dairy-free yoghurts and decided to create her own. Nush almond yoghurts were born out of a desire to find a delicious dairy-free alternative to yoghurts and these are stocked in several major supermarkets across the UK including Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's. 'It's really exciting to be able to help people who can't eat dairy and want an alternative to soya,' Bethany, who is dairy-free herself, tells Metro. But it's not just dairy the mum can't have, she's also gluten-free and says there's one thing she'll never be able to eat again thanks to cancer. Bethany, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024 after discovering a lump by chance one day, while sitting at her desk. She had to undergo 12 weeks of chemotherapy as well as months of Herceptin injections, but thankfully is now cancer-free once more. If you've ever wondered how cancer changes a person's relationship with food and whether it's true that police officers love eating doughnuts, we've got the answers… Before we raid your kitchen, we want to know what it was really like being a police officer… I loved it and it was brilliant but it was also a very intense job, very hard work and there was a lot of stress. We worked in shifts and these would either start at 6am, 2pm or 10pm and last eight hours. The worst was when you'd do a week of nights, so you'd work from 10pm until 6am. On the last day, you'd have to be back on duty the next day at 2pm. So you'd finish at 6am, go home and have a quick sleep and be working again at 2. We'd be shattered and it takes a real toll on your body. A shift would start with 'parade' where everyone would all meet as a team and the sergeant would talk us through what was going to happen that night. Then we'd go out in our cars and patrol the streets, respond to 999 calls and stuff like that. There wasn't a lot of time to think about food or eating properly on the job, you got a break if you got one basically, because if you weren't dealing with a prisoner, you were at a crime scene – there was always something going on. If you were lucky to get a break it was mostly stopping off to grab something quick like Gregg's, fish and chips or a kebab. If you didn't get time then you'd go the whole shift without food and be ravenous at the end and feel rubbish. Working as a police officer changes you as a person and it makes you quite cynical. You spend a lot of time seeing the negative side of things. Is there any truth to the stereotype about police loving doughnuts? I never really ate doughnuts that often on the job, as I'm not a big doughnut person but other people did eat them – they're just a very easy snack. There was an amazing bakery near the police station in Stoke Newington and everyone used to go in there to get all sorts of cakes and bagels. What made you decide to leave the police force? At the end of my time with the police, I started having terrible issues with my hormones – I gained weight, I had terrible skin and felt rubbish. Someone recommended I go and see a nutritionist and I went and they honestly changed my life. I did some of the things they told me to do, started implementing food changes and I could see how the food had affected my body. My digestion started to change and from there I became really interested in nutrition. Has having cancer impacted the way you approach food and nutrition? Since my diagnosis, my diet has changed slightly – I try to eat more organic food now and I focus a lot more on protein and fibre. I've also gone off certain foods. The cancer drug I was on, Herceptin, that's known to put people off things and for me, I used to eat a lot of cauliflower and make gnocci with it, but oh my god, I can't even stomach it or stand the smell now. I've also completely given up alcohol, which is a bit of a shame as I loved going to wineries or having a glass of wine at a restaurant, but I just can't do that anymore. I get major hot sweats, my body doesn't like it and I want to do what's best for my body. Tell us a secret. What's your ultimate guilty pleasure food pairing? It's probably a bit weird, but I love a gluten-free pizza topped with pineapple and anchovies. I think it tastes amazing but my kids look at me in horror whenever I eat it. Name one storecupboard item you can't live without… I need to have a jar of chocolate nut butter in the house at all times. It's like Nutella, but healthier and oh my, I could drink the stuff. And something that always has to be in your fridge? I always keep chia pudding in my fridge, which I make with coconut milk and kefir and I'll have that for breakfast or brunch. There's also usually liquid egg whites in the fridge too, which make fantastic protein pancakes if you add some protein powder and a tiny bit of coconut milk. What about the freezer, what do you have to keep in there at all times? I freeze avocados because they're great to add to a smoothie to make it nice and creamy and boost the fat content. If you don't want to use bananas, you can swap them out for half an avocado and you can't taste it at all, it just adds a beautiful creaminess. Is there an ingredient you're always willing to splurge on at the supermarket? As I had hormone-positive breast cancer, I have to take a tablet for the next five to 10 years and because of that I have to be so careful with what I eat, so now I buy a lot of organic food, especially organic meat. I'll spend a more money on that now than I would have before and if I can't get organic meat, I won't bother buying any as I'm very conscious about it. Alternatively, which kitchen staple isn't worth splashing the cash on? Avocados and bananas. I don't really worry about making sure to buy organic ones as they've got a skin on, so generally you can just peel the outside off and that's probably where any pesticides would be. Finally… what's been cooking in your kitchen lately? More Trending I love making lasagna, but with a bit of a twist to it. I make a bechamel using Oatly oat milk and a little bit of flour. I blend that together and it makes a beautiful sauce and sometimes I'll add a little Dijon mustard to it. Then I use organic beef mince and layer it all up with gluten-free lasagna sheets, which I get from Ocado and they're made out of lentils. It's such a nice meal and it's dairy-free and gluten-free and my family really enjoys it – especially my dad when I make it for him.
