Boots shoppers can get £80 worth of skincare free in Bank Holiday beauty box
The high street health and beauty retailer has welcomed a new seasonal beauty box, which is filled with everything needed to keep skin fresh, hydrated and radiant throughout the sunny season
Another budget-friendly beauty box has just hit the high street, saving customers more than £80 on the RRP. Boots' Fresh Faced Favourites Skincare Edit is the health and beauty retailer's most affordable of the year so far, yet still packs a punch with its contents.
Ideal for summer skincare enthusiasts, this is the first edit of 2025 to come in under £30, while still being worth nearly four times the price customers pay. Worth over £110, the Fresh Faced Favourites Skincare Edit is filled with nine skincare essentials and is available for £29.99.
It's overflowing with summer-ready essentials, from glow-enhancing serums to nourishing cleansers and, naturally, SPF protection – all carefully selected to keep skin fresh, hydrated, and glowing throughout the sunny season. Even better? Six of the nine products are full-sized, with one being worth more than the entire box on its own.
The featured Lumene Nordic C Glow Boost Essence 30ml is worth £36.50 when bought separately, so it's £6.51 more than the price customers pay for the whole edit. The glow-inducing essence is packed with vitamin C and Arctic cloudberry for plump, radiant skin, and works out at £3.33 as part of the new set, reports the Mirror .
But that's not the only product worth more than £20, with the Pixi Vitamin-C Serum 30ml usually valued at £26. While Vitamin C is a very popular skincare ingredient, known for brightening dull complexions, some shoppers may have preferred to see a little more variety in the skincare kit.
Apart from the two Vitamin C serums, there are also some gentle yet effective cleansers in the form of The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm and an ELF Holy Hydration Cleansing Balm. This gives beauty enthusiasts a chance to decide which they prefer before repurchasing.
Completing the selection, there are two mini Cetaphil products - another cleanser and a moisturising lotion - as well as a Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick Mugwort + Camellia, a TikTok-favourite K-beauty SPF that keeps skin protected and shine-free. Skincare aficionados will also find Boots Skin Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets and a BYOMA Brightening Serum.
Elsewhere, LookFantastic is offering the Summer Heroes Edit for £45, which, considering it's valued at over £150, means a stunning saving of £105 for buyers. The exclusive bundle includes six beauty gems, including four full-sized items from high-end brands such as Sol de Janeiro and ESPA.
Space NK also has an exciting haul, inspired by the viral TikTok trend, 'the everything shower'. The luxury edit of bath, body, and haircare costs £70 and is worth £165, boasting names like Sol de Janeiro, Living Proof and Alpha-H.
The Boots set appears to be one of the most wallet-friendly on the market this month. If past editions are anything to go by, it's likely to sell out rather quickly. Whether customers are overhauling their skincare routine or want to try cult-favourite brands like Beauty of Joseon, Pixi, and BYOMA without splashing out, the edit is certainly worth a look.
Here's what's inside the Boots Fresh Faced Favourites Skincare Edit:.
Pixi Vitamin-C Serum 30ml – Worth £26.
The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm 50ml – Worth £6.50.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser 29ml.
Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion 29ml.
Lumene Nordic C Glow Boost Essence 30ml – Worth £36.50.
Beauty of Joseon Matte Sun Stick Mugwort + Camellia 18g – Worth £15.50.
Boots Skin Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets 50pk – Worth £4.50.
ELF Holy Hydration Cleansing Balm 56.6g – Worth £11.
BYOMA Brightening Serum 30ml – Worth £12.99.
The retailer has also launched a Pamper Beauty Box for £40, while their Holiday Minis set comes in at £32. Shop all of the Boots beauty edits here.

Sir Chris Hoy going public with cancer battle has saved over 1,000 lives
Olympic cycling hero Sir Chris Hoy went public with his diagnosis in October last year. Olympic cycling hero Sir Chris Hoy has helped to save over 1,000 lives after he bravely went public with his terminal prostate cancer diagnosis last October. The six-time gold medallist, 49, shocked the world when he revealed he had stage 4 prostate cancer. It came just days after his wife, Sarra, 45, discovered that she had multiple sclerosis, a condition where the body attacks its own immune system, reports the Mirror. Hoy, 49, then teamed up with the charity Prostate Cancer UK to provide an online 30-second questionnaire. Since then, an impressive 180,000 men have used the 'risk checker' and more than 1,000 had a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test which revealed they had prostate cancer. "So that campaign has saved lives," said Sir Chris. "In all the chaos and all the fear and all the horror of first being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, you can never imagine any positive outcome coming from that situation. So to know that there is one has given me a purpose. In difficult moments, you remind yourself, actually there is a net positive from this whole situation. And I'm lucky because I have a platform." The Edinburgh -born legend said he's been flooded with messages from men who got tested after seeing his story. "My Instagram message feed is stacked with people who had no symptoms," he told the Sunday Times. "They had no reason to get a other than they'd seen my news. And they did it off the back of that, and found out they do have prostate cancer. They've caught it early. They're going to get treatment, and it's hopefully going to be OK. That gives me a huge lift." His terminal diagnosis has given him "a different level of appreciation of life." Some experts believe that PSA tests provide too many false positives and negatives. Hoy, who has two young kids, Callum, nine and Chloe, seven, admitted: "It isn't 100 percent accurate. "But it's the best we've got, and prostate is the most common cancer in England in men. So I believe we need to be more proactive in how we screen. Look at my situation." The Scot had a family history of the illness but he had "no symptoms, no warnings, so I would not have got a PSA test if I'd just gone to a regular GP. They'd have said, 'Come back when you're 50'. "But by that point it would have been far too late." He recently revealed when people ask him for a selfie, his children ask: "Is it because of cancer?". He says: "It's not something that really scares them, they don't talk about it much, it's just there." Sarra is 'stoic and strong'. The children are still unaware of her diagnosis.

Advanced prostate cancer is when the cancer cells spread from the prostate - a gland which is the size of a walnut and sits just beneath the bladder - to other areas of the body. It is currently not curable at the advanced stage, but it can be controlled. If cancer has spread to the bone, the most common symptoms is bone pain - a dull ache or stabbing pain, and can wake you up at night. With Sir Chris, the first symptom was pain in his shoulder. His chemo was painful because he chose to wear a cap to avoid hair loss for the sake of his young children. Early prostate cancer often has no symptoms. But early signs include a need to urinate more often, especially at night. Most prostate cancers are found early through screening. Men at average risk are likely to have their first screening test at 55 in the UK. Many men searched ' Sir Chris Hoy ' after he went public with his diagnosis, and charities and fellow athletes praised the courage of that decision. Those at high risk may take the test at 45 or even younger. Hoy's 'Tour de 4' takes place on Sept 7, a charity bike ride for 5,000 cyclists, many living with stage 4 cancer. It aims to raise £1m, and starts and finishes at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow. To sign up go to

'I have been pulling my own teeth out for last 8 years due to NHS dental crisis'
Patient horror stories are revealed amid a collapse in access to NHS dentists with people in constant pain struggling to eat with rotten teeth and infected gums People are living in constant pain and too embarrassed to smile because of the collapse in access to NHS dentistry, the Mirror can reveal. Today we outline patient horror stories from around the country caused by the collapse in NHS access as part of our Dentists for All campaign. More than 260,000 people signed the Mirror's petition calling for NHS dentistry to be rescued and many of them have written to their local MP with their own personal stories including surviving on painkillers, struggling to eat and pulling out their own remaining teeth. They tell of calling around every NHS dentist in their area to be told they are not taking on new NHS patients and being quoted up to £14,000 to be treated privately. Sally Brudenell told of problems getting a dentist in North Dorset, writing: 'I am in considerable and constant pain from my teeth and dental work that is decades old. I have always taken great care and pride in my teeth but now I don't smile from embarrassment. Please help me and so many other financially poor pensioners' Lizzie Savage, from Durham, wrote: 'Please can the government invest more in dentistry for the NHS. I have been removing my own teeth over the last eight years. Eating meals is a real challenge as I then have to get my small dental kit to remove lodged food inside my gums. I am not a qualified dentist but a disabled NHS nurse.' Monica Finlay wrote to James Asser MP, her local MP for West Ham and Beckton. She said: 'I am 68 years old and retired and cannot find a dentist to carry out work on my teeth. I am a pensioner so cannot afford private dental work. I have one remaining chewing tooth which is now loose. I find it extremely difficult to eat and will only be able to eat soft food once the tooth falls out. I think it's outrageous that dentistry is now out of the reach of most working class people who either cannot find a dentist or cannot afford dental treatment.' Marquita Church, from Cornwall, said: 'I alongside hundreds, maybe thousands of people over 65 who can not afford private dental treatment am losing all of my teeth. With no hope of getting dentures or any kind of help at all. Pulling teeth out yourself is a very painful experience. Not being able to smile is another level. We need NHS dental treatment now, not in five or ten years. Please, please help.' Lack of funding and the outdated payment system means most dental practices are no longer accepting new adult patients. The overall NHS dentistry budget for England has remained at around £3 billion for 15 years. This has meant a £1 billion real terms cut over this period due to inflation. A 'flawed' NHS payment contract sees dentists make a loss on some procedures and has caused an exodus to the private sector. The incoming Labour government last year promised to reform the dental contract but negotiations have been held up by the Treasury which has been reluctant to commit to a substantial funding boost. It means 13 million Brits are living with an 'unmet need' for dental care according to official data. Recent polling suggested that among those who could not get an NHS dental appointment, 26% performed DIY dentistry such as yanking out their own teeth and 19% went abroad for treatment. The Mirror's petition was set up in conjunction with the British Dental Association and campaigning platform 38 Degrees. Signatories received an email notifying them of a debate on the crisis which took place in the House of Commons last week. In response, many signatories then emailed their MP to ask them to attend. One such signatory was Jack Nkala who wrote to his local MP for Cambridge Daniel Zeichner MP, saying the city remains a 'dental desert'. He added: 'There are never any spaces for NHS patients like myself. I literally reduced to using one part of my jaw to chew, due to rotten teeth and infected gums. Could you please assist with this.' Roland Randall wrote to his local MP for St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire, Ian Sollom. He said: 'I had polymyalgia a few years ago and my GP put me on large doses of steroids for two years. As a result I lost many of my teeth and I was quoted £14,000 for dental treatment - way beyond my budget. I know many people like me, who cannot get on a NHS list or afford treatment. Something must be done.' One signatory from Bournemouth said: 'My daughter was kicked off our family dentist's list after a stay in an NHS mental health hospital, despite the fact that I updated them constantly about her situation and why she wasn't attending her appointments. The day she was released from hospital, we tried to book her an appointment only to be told she'd been removed from their list. I tried without success to get them to be reasonable, my elderly father tried talking to them during his next visit, but their reaction felt like we were risking our own places by trying to get them to take her back on. 'To be clear, her mental health had no impact on their decision nor did it affect her behaviour during appointments. She's now been four years without dental care or treatment. She's suffering periods of severe pain due to abscesses and other issues. We cannot afford to pay privately but this is what we are being told to do. I just can't believe that this can be happening in Great Britain in the 21st century. Please, will you attend the debate and represent people like my daughter and I? The system is utterly broken and desperately needs fixing.' One signatory was a dental practice manager from a surgery in Durham. He said: 'Every day we get between 10 and 20 calls from patients in pain who cannot find an NHS dentist. It was policy under the last government to demolish NHS Dentistry to save money in the NHS however nothing has changed with the new government. 'We have been contacted by patients who cannot start their cancer treatments because they need a dentist to sign them off as dentally fit before starting chemo and radiotherapy. Or consider the worsening state of children's oral health. Or consider the oral cancers being missed because patients can't get a regular exam. Not to mention life threatening swellings turning up at A&E. 'We kept our books open as long as we possibly could but eventually had to stop taking new patients. We are now in the situation that existing patients can't get appointments for weeks or even months and have no diary space for new patients. Please make a difference, please help.' Jacqueline Keerie, from Derbyshire, said: 'Having been a dental nurse for over 15 years and now in my 70's I never thought in my lifetime that NHS dentistry would cease to exist. I know many people who have resorted to painful extractions by themselves. I feel thoroughly ashamed that a profession I loved is in this sorry state.' Matthew McGregor, chief executive at 38 Degrees, said: 'In every single constituency across the country, adults and children are living with the consequences of the dentistry crisis: pain, worry, and deteriorating dental health. So it's no wonder that more than a quarter of a million people - including many Mirror readers - have signed our petition to save NHS dentistry and demand urgent action from the Government. 'On top of that, in the last few days alone, thousands of people have written to their MP via 38 Degrees, sharing their own shocking experiences and asking MPs to demand action. Last year, Prime Minister Keir Starmer was elected on a promise to tackle the NHS dentistry crisis and reform the broken system - voters expect him to make good on that commitment. Now it's time they deliver.'
