Montana Brown reveals the bizarre health routine she swears by to 'aid digestion and reduce inflammation'
Montana Brown has revealed her bizarre health routine she swears by in an Instagram video on Friday. The former Love Island star, 29, said she uses a caster oil pack every night before bed to aid digestion and reduce inflammation. Sharing a video of herself removing the pack, Montana flashed her jaw-dropping abs. Montana captioned the post: 'Why I use a castor oil pack every night before bed? 'aids digestion, keeps my skin hydrated overnight to help with excess skin postpartum, cheap!, supports lymphatic drainage, reduces inflammation'. Montana is not the first celebrity to use the oil. In March 2021, Dame Helen Mirren told her followers on Instagram: 'Things I oil. Not for its laxative properties, but for hair, skin, nails.' The former Love Island star said she uses a caster oil pack every night before bed to aid digestion and reduce inflammation Castor oil is widely known to be an excellent natural remedy for constipation, but can also be used to benefit your hair, skin, and face. And in September last year, Kelsey Parker claimed that castor oil had changed her life and was her 'new best friend'. Kelsey, who was married to Tom Parker from The Wanted, before he tragically lost his battle with brain cancer, raved: 'I want to talk about castor oil. 'I have this organic castor oil which has become my new best friend. I was recommended castor oil by 'The Skin Angel', but basically castor oil has changed my life in such a short period of time. 'I use the castor oil as a moisturiser because I am so dry. At the moment I'm looking all nice and shiny because this is what castor oil does. 'It also promotes hair growth, so your eyelashes will grow, you can put it on your eyebrows. Kelsey added: 'Also, it's an anti-inflammatory, it's also an antioxidant and its anti-fungal.' Earlier this year Montana - who is already a mum to Jude one - welcomed her second child, Miley, with her fiancé Mark O'Connor via a home birth. Earlier this year Montana opened up about the challenges of having a home birth when her baby daughter Miley was breech She opened up about the challenges of having a home birth when her baby daughter Miley was breech. Montana said she was advised by her NHS midwives to give birth in hospital but she insisted she wanted to follow her head and heart and stay at home. The reality star enlisted the help of a private doula for her home birth, who assured her both she and her daughter were safe. Montana shared that her home birth was 'magical' but she had felt really when her waters broke due to Miley being breech, with one of the baby's legs popping out first. However she thanked her 'rock' Mark, doula Emiliana and midwife Heather for relaxing her before Miley 'flew out' two pushes later.

‘Crunchy' mum-of-two shamed for showing baby's bronzed tan after admitting she doesn't use ‘toxic suncreams'
A MUM has come under fire after proudly admitting she doesn't slather her kids in ''toxic sunscreen''. Mother-of-two Ellie made the shock confession on TikTok after she was allegedly told her tot was ''so tanned''. 2 Ellie, who describes herself as ''slightly crunchy'', shared a clip of her bronzed son just a month after Kelsey Parker was mum-shamed for a similar confession. In the clip, which has since taken the internet by storm, Ellie said she was well aware her son was tanned. ''I know, it's because we are in the sunshine all day and I don't slather him in toxic sunscreen.'' The mother-of-two went on in the caption: ''Can't believe my 1 year old has a better tan than me! ''We are sun safe, not scared.'' Unfortunately, there are quite a few misconceptions about sun protection that can confuse the issue of using suncream. In particular, some media has reported concern with ingredients oxybenzone, a synthetic estrogen, and retinyl palmitate, a form of vitamin A stored by the skin. Other stories might talk about vitamin D and risk of sunscreen reducing the amount of this important hormone in the body. "This myth is very concerning to me," said Dr. Cheryl Peters, a senior scientist in cancer prevention at BC Cancer and BCCDC. The expert reassured that there ''is no evidence that approved sunscreens cause cancer or other health problems''. Kelsey Parker mum-shamed for admitting she doesn't put suncream on her kids ''In fact, the opposite is true: not wearing sunscreen poses a significant cancer risk,'' the doctor warned. Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells, and it's the most prevalent form of all cancers in the world. Kids will complain about the lotion and say it is cold or pasty. However, children must get into a routine of applying sunscreen whenever the sun is out, experts insist. Sun safety for kids should be non-negotiable and there are plenty of reasons to not skip this step, such as avoiding sunburn, minimising the risk of melanoma and premature ageing. Advice for adults and children on sunscreen and sun safety in the UK and abroad The experts at the NHS have warned that sunburn increases your risk of skin cancer. They state that despite the common misconception, sunburn ''does not just happen on holiday''. This means that you can burn in the UK, even on days when it's cloudy. ''There's no safe or healthy way to get a tan. A tan does not protect your skin from the sun's harmful effects.'' You can find more tips on their website here. 'When did people caring about their kids?' Online, Ellie - who posts under the username @ ellieshomemadehouse - has since come under fire, with hundreds of concerned social media users flooding to slam the mum-of-two. One person said: ''Sun cream doesn't stop you from tanning.. it just stops you from burning.'' Another chimed in: ''I have stage 3 melanoma because of unprotected sun exposure as a child…hope that helps!'' Someone else said: ''My grandma didn't use sun screen because it wasn't really used of her generation. She died of melanoma when my mum was 20.'' ''When did people stop loving and caring about their kids?'' Hitting back at the critics, Ellie said: ''Both of my children are loved beyond comprehension thank you! What a weird comment.'' She has also since clarified that the family does use sun protection in the form of a mineral sunscreen with ingredients the mum trusts.

Kelsey Parker gave a painful update on Monday and urged her followers to 'be kind' - after the loss of her third child. The podcaster, 34, suffered heartbreak in June after her unborn third child Phoenix - her first with boyfriend Will Lindsay - was 'born sleeping.' Kelsey is a parent to children Aurelia, six, and Bodhi, four, from her marriage to The Wanted singer Tom Parker, who died in 2022 following a long battle with brain cancer. On Monday she shared with her fans that the episodes of her motherhood podcast she had recorded when she was pregnant would soon start airing. She penned on her Story: 'Before I gave birth to Phoenix, I had recorded a lot of podcasts for my @mumstheword_pod before going off on maternity leave. 'I want to thank the lovely team for checking in and being patient to put some episodes out that were during my pregnancy. 'Over the next couple of months these episodes will air. They were part of my journey so I didn't want to not share them, and they all have incredible guests with really important stories and messages. 'Please take the time to listen to these episodes and remember to be kind when doing so.' She is joined by McFly star Danny Jones' wife Georgia on the podcast as they discuss various parenting topics and interview other stars and experts. Her update comes after last week she paid tribute to her 'precious' daughter Aurelia on her sixth birthday, just days after revealing the tragic loss of her third child a week before its due date. Returning to Instagram for the first time since confirming their loss, the doting mother paid tribute to her eldest child by sharing a montage of the youngster's first six years, including footage of Aurelia being cradled by her late father. Captioning the emotional post, she wrote: 'Aurelia means 'The Golden One' and that's what you are... you've been through so much my darling daughter, but you're the most precious little girl any mummy could wish for. 'I'm so happy we got to spend this weekend celebrating your birthday and turning another year older. 'I'm beyond proud of you and the amazing young woman you're growing up to be.' Days earlier, Parker confirmed the loss of her unborn third child, a son she had planned to name Phoenix, one week before his planned due date. Breaking the news in a poem, she wrote: 'The world grew quiet as you arrived, So loved, so longed for, yet not alive. Our precious boy, our angel light, Born with wings, took silent flight'. 'We named you Phoenix, brave and bright. A soul of love, of warmth and light Though we never heard you cry, You'll live in hearts that won't ask why. 'No breath you drew, no eyes to see, Still, you mean everything to me. You'll journey with us, softly near, in every sigh, in every tear. Taking to her Instagram stories: she added: 'Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heartfelt wishes, I wanted to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share. 'But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news. 'I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space. Love always, Kelsey, Will, and the Parker Family'. Followers rushed to the comments to offer their condolences, with Kate Ferdinand commenting: 'Oh Kelsey, I'm so sorry. 'You've been through so much as a family already, this feels so unfair. Thinking of you all and sending so much love'. Former Love Island contestant Faye Winter added: 'I'm so sorry, sending all my love to you, Will and the family': and Giovanna Fletcher added: 'A beautiful name for a beautiful soul. I'm so sorry for your loss Kelsey'. Parker was left devastated after husband Tom lost his battle with brain cancer, but found love again last year, meeting Kent tree surgeon Will on a night out and announced their romance in September. The podcaster later admitted to being targeted by online trolls for moving on with her new partner. Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, in their first joint interview together in March, she explained: 'It's been three years, this is Tom's three year anniversary of his death and it's almost like people want me to feel guilty for moving on.' She confirmed the loss of her unborn third child, a son she had planned to name Phoenix, one week before his planned due date She added: 'I'm always going to have guilt but what's so hard is that Tom's not here anymore so what do people want me to do?', 'Our house was full of so much sadness but now it's full of happiness, the kids deserve that more than anything. 'They've been through so much, I feel like we are taking the steps forward to heal but I just want other women to feel like it's OK to move on, it's not taking anything away from the love I had for Tom.'
