Nathan Lyon's cricket WAG wife Emma flies first class to England with $22,000 worth of accessories and $1,500 of in-flight skincare
Emma Lyon flaunted all the benefits of being a cricket WAG on Tuesday as she showed off her wealth while flying first class to England. The mother-of-one, who shares a one-year-old daughter with cricketer Nathan Lyon, was travelling to the UK to attend the World Test Championship. But as she documented her journey on Instagram, she took the time to highlight her expensive $22,000 accessories and $1,500 collection of in-flight skincare. Emma shared videos of herself cuddling up to her daughter as she arrived at the airport for her first class Qantas flight. In one clip, she could be seen holding her bub as she stood on an escalator with a black Chanel bag worth a jaw-dropping $19,230. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She also carried a tote bag from FWRD Renew worth $3,725, for a total of $22,955 worth in accessories—but the luxuries didn't end there. Emma went on to share an inside look at her skincare bag, showing off a range of luxe products worth a total of $1,487 all up. The most expensive of the items was a 'repairing and regenerative' face cream from Biologique Recherche worth a shocking $390. She also included the full range of formulations from Rationale—Milk Concentrate ($214), Enriched Crème ($212), two Serums ($206 and $204), and Cleanser ($120). Emma also added Clarity Peptides from Medik8 ($101) to her skincare bag, as well as a $25 facemask from 111SKIN and a $15 lip balm from Lanolips. The WAG finished off her reel of content with a short clip showing her completely flawless and glowing complexion after lathering her face with the products. Her ritzy trip comes after Emma finally confirmed she and Nathan welcomed a baby girl to the world in September 2023. They made the reveal in October 2024, with Nathan now a father to three girls as he shares two children with his ex-partner Mel Waring. Emma posted two images of her daughter to Instagram at the time, captioning the photos with 'Mini me'. In one of the pictures, the youngster could be seen wearing a T-shirt which read 'daddy's girl'. There was no indication Emma was expecting prior to her daughter's birth, with the glamour couple doing an amazing job of keeping the pregnancy under wraps. She attended the 2023 Ashes tour in the United Kingdom with the rest of the Australian team's WAGs after marrying Nathan in July 2022. Emma appeared to have carefully edited photos she posted on her Instagram to avoid any shots which would give away a pregnancy. Even when spotted by paparazzi, Emma was wearing an overcoat which would have covered any tell-tale signs. The fiercely private couple also kept their engagement a secret before they were eventually married. Emma and her bowling beau's relationship began in scandalous circumstances, as they had been caught kissing in Perth in late 2017 while Nathan was still with Mel. Mel detailed their heartbreaking split in a blog post in March 2018. She said on social media her pain was 'real and deep' and recounted nights when she would lie in bed with her children and cry. 'I didn't ask for this, this wasn't the way my life was supposed to be. He was my forever, he was my whole world,' she wrote. Mel has since found love with a new man, but has not revealed his identity. Nathan and Emma started dating in 2017 and bought their Sydney home together in 2020. Rumours started to swirl that their engagement was on in 2022. That was later confirmed when Emma was spotted with a hefty ring on her wedding finger at the fourth Test against India at the Gabba.

The Skincare Secrets Every Frequent Traveler Should Know About
'Skincare is healthcare,' Dr Howard Murad proclaimed in a podcast for the Global Wellness Summit in 2022. The wellness trailblazer, previously a pharmacist and dermatologist before launching his own Murad skincare line at 50, was one of the first experts to popularise the notion that skincare goes further than skin deep. Since then, this concept has become increasingly far-reaching, with innovators in the field of beauty offering new ways to maintain healthy skin for the sake of your entire body and pushing the boundaries when it comes to what true skincare means. Facialist Mina Lee takes a holistic approach to skincare. (Credit: Mina Lee) One of London's leading facialists, Mina Lee, is a case in point. Her skin clinic in Chelsea is found on the chic Draycott Avenue. Outside, it's a buzzy spot with pavement cafés, designer boutiques and artisan stores. Ring the discrete doorbell and climb the stairs to her clinic and you'll find a cocooning space, with its plants and minimalist décor, which feels more like a zen artist's studio. With over 20 years of experience in the field, Mina Lee has held diverse roles, including head trainer at a renowned medical spa in London, and as the first national trainer for Biologique Recherche in the UK. Now running her own aesthetics and beauty clinic, she has become renowned, mainly through 'word-of-mouth', for her intense facial massage technique and deeply personalised approach. In fact, Mina Lee's client book reads like a 'Who's Who' of London's most in-the-know scene (she currently has a 200+ waiting list and you can expect to wait at least six months to get an appointment). At the heart of her offering is her signature Bespoke Facial Healing Experience (from £600) which goes beyond just treating the surface of skin, to factor in a deeper health-care approach. During an initial consultation, Mina evaluates her client's skin texture, tone, and any areas of concern. She starts to build a picture of any lifestyle factors that may affect skin health, including diet, hydration, and stress levels. The gently-style of conversation is also directed towards a client's emotional well-being, with Nina asking pertinent questions and recognising the connection between emotional states and skin conditions, to ensure a holistic approach to the treatment. Mina Lee crafts bespoke treatments for each client. (Credit: Mina Lee) 'In the clinic, I give people time and space to be calm and this in itself helps us get healthier skin from the inside out. Our skin may be a reflection of genetics but it is also to do with our lifestyle,' she says. 'Just as each journey is unique, so should the approach to skincare. My approach is to craft personalised, evidence-based treatments tailored to the individual needs of my clients.' Robust massage is the key component of the treatment, which Nina has designed to relax the muscles and enhance blood circulation. She also use lymphatic drainage techniques, to reduce puffiness and tension, all the while uttering soothing platitudes, such as 'you are in a good place' or 'well done', in a barely-there whisper, giving a deeply meditative effect. After the massage, Mina uses blasts of Oxygen Therapy to infuse the skin with moisture and to leave it plump and velvety. Then it is a bespoke mask application and LED light treatment. The final step sees the use of Korean Civasan Micro Needle therapy, which utilises fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing absorption of active ingredients. The result is a smoother, firmer skin texture with improved elasticity, lifted cheekbones and a glowing look. Mina Lee takes time to get to know a client before embarking on skincare. (Credit: John Nguyen/JNVisuals) 'It is important to me that the treatment not only addresses physical skin concerns but also promotes emotional well-being. It's all about curating a rejuvenating experience from start to finish,' says Mina. 'Clients should leave feeling refreshed, revitalised, and equipped with valuable insights into their skin health. They will look amazing, too.' 'I have been influenced by the skincare culture of South Korea, where beauty is highly esteemed. It is where I was born and where I spent my early years,' Mina says of her background. 'I recall my first facial at the age of eight, lovingly given by my mother to soothe my sunburned skin. This early experience has inspired my approach, blending advanced aesthetics with alternative therapies—all infused with the warmth of that cherished memory.' She continues: 'I combine Korean healing practices with the newest skincare innovations. I also layer and use bespoke skincare and methods which will suit and help each individual. Everyone is different and this means their needs are unique to them.' Mina is influenced by South Korean skincare culture. (Credit: John Nguyen/JNVisuals) When it comes to traveling, Mina's tips are: 'Increase your hydration topically and internally—hydrating masks post and pre-flight are great to prevent dehydration and keep drinking water— and pack a good vitamin C serum with you (this is always give you a glow). Since the pandemic she has seen a surge in people wanting to harness the best in wellness care to look and feel better. 'I think people are more stressed than ever and this increases year on year, so people are turning to experts to help them slow down and be more grounded. Social media has changed everything over the past few years. Our systems are imbalanced, making our brains go faster. This can trigger other challenges derived from lack of sleep, such as depression and anxiety.' 'Essentially, our rhythms are off and, by nurturing our entire system, we regain much needed balance, with the by-product of this being resilient and strong skin. Often people come to me because they say they want glowing skin, but the truth is to get that luminosity, skin needs to be strengthened.' Synergy – The Retreat Show calls in professionals from across the world for talks, workshops, events and inspiration. (Credit: Synergy) This increase in searching for meaningful wellness is something that is also echoed by Laura Montesanti, founder of Synergy – The Retreat Show, which is a three-day annual event (taking place this year from 7-10 October in Sardinia) that focuses on responsible wellbeing and slow travel for wellness professionals. 'People have became more intentional and more savvy in their search for wellbeing,' Laura tells Forbes. 'They have started digging deeper, questioning what's available, how the wellbeing industry works, and how it truly supports their healing. That awareness has led to a real desire for a more meaningful, results-driven approach to wellness.' Laura Montesanti, the founder of Synergy – The Retreat Show. (Credit: Synergy) She adds: 'At Synergy, this is exactly what we've embraced. While we speak the language of wellness travel, our foundation is built on personal growth, deep connection and transformative experiences. We believe that doing business doesn't have to follow the traditional path, when people connect on a deeper level, and grow personally as well as professionally, the results are not only higher, but far more sustainable.' Meanwhile, for time-poor travellers, who can't get to the spa or to an event like Synergy, the latest innovative products offer new ways to make sure you remain in tip-top condition while on the road. The Dr Ivy at-home product range is made up of a three-step regime. (Credit: Dr Ivy) Tapping into the latest buzzword in skincare at the moment is Dr Ivy's at-home Exosome skincare range which offers game-changing, plant-derived exosome-infused products. The collection, designed by Dr Ivy, an acclaimed Harley Street aesthetics doctor, includes a cleanser, serum and cream, all of which give clinic-quality skin rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures. Exosome treatments are at the forefront of skincare right now. Leveraging the natural regenerative qualities of the body, the tiny vesicles, or pouches, act as powerful cell messengers, triggering skin cells to regenerate, boost collagen and improve elasticity. Originally thought to be cellular waste, they were later discovered to play a crucial role in cell communication, making them the holy grail of anti-ageing science. Dr Ivy's formula features exosomes that are completely plant-derived, extracted from a Japanese plant called Centella Asiatica, a potent botanical known for its exceptional healing and collagen-boosting properties. The Dr Ivy Exosome Cleanser uses plant-derived exosomes. (Credit: Dr Ivy) The three-step regimen includes starts with the Regenerative Exosome Cleanser (£70); a daily purifying treatment infused with exosomes to gently cleanse while kickstarting the skin's renewal process. Next up is the Regenerative Exosome Serum (£315). This potent serum delivers high concentrations of exosomes to trigger deep cell regeneration and collagen production. Finally, the Regenerative Exosome Cream (£275) is a lightweight yet deeply nourishing moisturiser that locks in hydration while enhancing elasticity and firmness. The results include a smoother, brighter complexion, the reduction of hyperpigmentation and inflammation for an even skin tone and long-term anti-ageing benefits through advanced cell communication. 'Exosome treatments don't just repair skin damage; they future-proof it,' says Dr Ivy. 'By stimulating fibroblasts to continuously produce collagen, the system allows users to bank their own collagen reserves, slowing down the aging process in real-time. With 43.5 million plant-derived exosomes per application—the scientifically proven quantity required to kickstart regeneration—the Dr Ivy range is setting a new gold standard in anti-ageing skincare, with a first-of-its-kind at-home exosome system.' The Serum works at an epigenetic level, reprogramming skin cells to boost collagen production, (Credit: Dr Ivy) Dr Ivy is a pioneer in non-invasive aesthetic medicine and has spent over 25 years transforming faces with her revolutionary 'Face Design' techniques. With her new range, the power of regenerative medicine comes straight to your bathroom shelf or, indeed, suitcase. Each product is designed to work synergistically, layering exosomes for maximum skin regeneration and youth-restoring results. NEWROAD 30 is a travel-convenient powder blend, packed with 30 different organic fruits, vegetables and pulses. (Credit: Newroad 30) Finally, tackling beauty from the inside out, is NEWROAD 30 (£59), a new dietary supplement that uses a blend of 30 different organic fruits, vegetables, and pulses, each carefully selected for their high fibre, prebiotic and polyphenol content. Developed in consultation with scientists at Oxford University, INRAE in Paris and Oxford Brookes Centre for Nutrition and Health*, the berry-flavoured formula (it can be simply mixed into water or smoothies) is designed to nourish the gut microbiome, helping to diversify and balance the ecosystem of bacteria that play a vital role in optimum health. NEWROAD 30 is made of 30 organic plant food ingredients only and can be mixed into drinks or sprinkled over yoghurt. (Credit: NEWROAD 30) Hero ingredients of the drink include berries and beans each chosen for their specific benefits for gut and overall health. Six different berries are a source of polyphenols for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and how they promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. While five different pulses are high in dietary fibre and resistant starch, with a low glycaemic index, and are a source of plant protein packed with essential nutrients. Co-founder of NEWROAD 30, Catherine Hurley Arbibe. (Credit: NEWROAD 30) Founders Catherine Hurley Arbibe, a health advocate who began studying medicine at Oxford University before pursuing a successful career as an international model, and Alain Arbibe, an experienced entrepreneur with a background in luxury retail, created NEWROAD 30 with a singular mission: to offer an effective solution that makes it easier for people to take care of their health without compromising on quality or sustainability. As well as using it in a cold drink, the powder can also be prinkles over porridge or yoghurt, or enjoyed as warm tea. Catherine Hurley Arbibe, co-founder tells Forbes: 'A few years ago, I learnt more about gut microbiome and their far-reaching health implications. In particular, The American Gut Project inspired me to look at my own family's diet and whether we were eating a variety of 30 plant foods across the week. Although we were eating quite a high quantity of fruits and veg, it was a narrow rotation. I set about creating a freeze-dried blend of 30 different organic fruit, vegetables and pulses for a convenient way to boost our intake of 30 a week, using only the highest quality organic ingredients from trusted sources and known provenance, ensuring the final product was something I could wholeheartedly recommend to others."

Get that glow: Spring clean your body and skin from the inside out
Here are four things you can do to get your skin, body and wellbeing tip-top ready for the brighter days ahead. Reset your diet for glowing skin Your skin reflects what's happening inside your body. Over the winter, heavy comfort foods and festive treats can lead to sluggish digestion, inflammation and lacklustre skin. Spring is the time to reset the body by focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods. ✔ Hydrate — Start each day with warm lemon water to aid digestion and flush out toxins. Drink water and herbal teas throughout the day. Think of hydrating foods such as crisp salads, cucumber, celery, lettuce and spring soups. ✔ Increase Antioxidants — Berries, leafy greens, citrus fruits and fresh herbs all support skin health and fight free radicals. Snack on these and keep your levels topped up. ✔ Support Gut Health — Look at increasing fibre to feed our good bacteria and eat a rainbow of fruits and veggies. Fermented foods like kimchi, kefir, and natural yogurt promote a balanced microbiome, essential for clear, radiant skin. Get into the habit of incorporating these foods when you can. ✔ Essential Fatty Acids — Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are key to maintaining a healthy skin barrier, reducing inflammation and keeping skin plump and hydrated. Found in foods like salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts, chia seeds and avocado, they nourish from within for a dewy, youthful glow. Supercharge your skincare routine Just as we swap heavy winter coats for lighter layers in spring, our skincare needs a seasonal refresh too. The thick creams and occlusive oils that kept skin protected in winter might now feel too heavy. Instead, opt for products that revive, replenish and hydrate your skin for a fresh, glowing complexion. ✔ Exfoliate Wisely — A gentle chemical exfoliant, like Environ's Botanical Infused Moisturising Toner or Biologique Recherche's Lotion P50 PIGM, helps to slough off dull winter skin, boost cell turnover, and reveal a radiant glow. ✔ Hydrate & Nourish — Swap richer creams for lightweight, hydrating serums, and don't forget an eye cream like Environ's Vita-peptide eye gel to keep the delicate under-eye area fresh and bright. ✔ Protect, Protect, Protect — SPF is non-negotiable! UV rays are present year-round, and as we spend more time outdoors in spring, a high-quality SPF like Dermaviduals SPF30 is essential to prevent premature ageing and sun damage. ✔ Moisturise — Even with lighter textures, hydration is key. Lock in moisture with a nourishing night cream or facial oil. We love Osmosis Nourish Facial Oil or their Remedy Healing Balm for its ability to deeply replenish and restore skin overnight. ✔ Don't Forget Your Neck & Décolletage! — These areas show signs of ageing just as much as the face, so treat them with the same care. Apply serums, moisturisers and SPF daily. ✔ Invest in Your Skincare — Spring is the perfect time to book a professional facial to deeply cleanse, hydrate and reset your skin. A well-chosen treatment, such as our new Biologique Recherche Bespoke treatments, will instantly boost radiance and help your skin transition smoothly into the new season. Move and breathe for lymphatic detox Movement is one of the most powerful ways to stimulate circulation and encourage the lymphatic system to efficiently flush out toxins, reducing puffiness and promoting a healthier glow. I recommend dry brushing before showering to boost lymphatic drainage, alongside incorporating gentle movement such as yoga, walking, or rebounding to keep everything flowing smoothly. Deep breathing techniques can further support detoxification by increasing oxygen flow and reducing stress, which plays a key role in skin health. For those looking for an extra boost, Skin Future offers the Slimyonik Air Bodystyler, advanced Lymphatic Drainage treatment that provides deep, effective detoxification. It's a relaxing yet powerful treatment where clients wear a specialised suit that delivers targeted, rhythmic massage, helping to stimulate circulation, reduce fluid retention, and support overall wellbeing. It's a game-changer for getting everything moving and feeling lighter from the inside out. Beauty sleep and stress reset Spring is the perfect time to reset not only your skin but also your sleep and stress management routine. Poor sleep can drive inflammation and breakouts and exacerbate skin concerns such as acne, rosacea, and aging. Quality rest allows the body to repair and rejuvenate, helping your skin glow from the inside out. To promote better sleep, establish a calming night-time routine: ✔ Reduce screen time at least an hour before bed to limit blue light exposure. ✔ Wind down with relaxation techniques like meditation, journaling, or deep breathing to reduce cortisol levels. ✔ Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and clutter-free for optimal rest. For those looking for a professional boost, Skin Future offers advanced treatments that work alongside your skincare routine to maximise results.
