'We understand life gets busy, but prioritising quality rest can significantly improve not only your appearance, but also your mood, energy, and productivity.
'Hydration is another simple yet powerful tool. Many people underestimate the ageing effects of dehydration, especially when alcohol is involved.
'Alcohol strips the skin of moisture, leaving it dry and dull, and enhancing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
'Water can have a visibly rejuvenating effect, often making you look and feel years younger.'

Biggest skincare trends for 2025

Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions -
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.

The £3.99 Lidl plant you need in your garden – it has gorgeous big flowers until November & grows back bigger every year
THE delightful Dahlia is one of the UK's most popular flowers - and you can get yours for as cheap as chips. The classic British favourite is in full bloom now – and with a little bit of help, they're the gardening gift that will keep on giving until November. Advertisement 2 The beautiful plant could last through the winter Credit: Lidl Happy customers commented online: "Tubers bought in Lidl... can't wait for flowers." A second added: "I found the Lidl ones my best last year." A third user posted a photo of her flowering Dahlias and wrote: "O ne of the Lidl. Only one survived. All others were ruined by snails and slugs. This one is three years old and always leaving it in the soil for winter." Advertisement read more Native to With their vast colours and strong flower power , they're also a magnet to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, providing essential pollen for several months of the year. How to look after dahlias During the summer, the perennial plants like regular feeding and watering, and if given the right care, will grow again next spring-summer. Dahlias favour warm, sunny, sheltered spots with free-draining soil. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous However, going into winter, dahlias need specific treatment to survive, and it's called 'overwintering'. Trying out Lidl's new weeding tools When to lift and store dahlia tubers When the green foliage has been damaged by frost, you want to dig the tubers up. If the frost is late, dig the tubers by late November. If you live in a climate where temperatures rarely drop below freezing and the soil is well-draining, dahlias can be left in the ground. If you choose to leave them in the ground, add a thick layer of mulch around the base to protect the tubers. Advertisement If the dahlias are in pots, or you don't want to risk leaving them in the ground because of freezing temperatures, then using a shovel, dig the tubers out - but be careful not to damage them. TOP TIPS FOR GROWING DAHLIAS How to keep Dahlia's growing for longer Use chicken feed and growmore to get them going - rose food is a good substitute. Grow from tubers not seed - you get more flowers. Water and deadhead daily. The new buds are solid to the touch - don't cut these off. Plant up the plugs in early April. In late April put overwintered tubers into compost, store in a greenhouse/windowsill/polytunnel, water once a day. Don't harden off, and when they get to 30cms - 50cms high - second week in June, get them in the ground. Plant randomly rather than colour coordinated - if you plant randomly the display is better. To encourage bees - grow the collarette-type of dahlia. Remove any soil from the tubers and let them dry out for a few days in a cool, dark, frost-free place. Make sure to check for any rotten or damaged areas and cut them off. Dividing dahlia tubers Dahlia tubers grow bigger each year, and this presents a gardener with the opportunity to divide them and have more plants. To divide dahlia tubers, using a clean, sharp knife or saw, cut them apart. Note - this should be done in late autumn or early spring only. Advertisement 2 Lidl is offering a great price on the flowering plant Credit: Alamy Lidl shoppers can pick up gorgeous flowering plants that will brighten your outdoor space from late spring all the way through to autumn, meaning you'll get plenty of bang for your buck. The bargain superstore is also stocking large perennials for just £4.99, and Hibiscus plants for only £6.99, which will add colour and height to any patio or garden display.
