Amazon shoppers 'wowed' as £13 gummies make their hair grow 'like crazy'
These chewable gummies are packed with vitamins and nutrients that provide a whole host of beauty benefits. Thin, fine hair that often sheds is a common concern for many. Although it is not a quick fix, a bottle of vitamin-packed gummies can help improve results. While there are many different brands to choose from, these WeightWorld Biotin Gummies for hair, skin and nails have been earning glowing reviews from Amazon shoppers who say they "actually work." Priced at £13.90, a bottle contains a two month supply of 120 natural berry flavoured chewable gummies that have been packed with a whole host of powerful vitamins and essential nutrients to provide multiple health benefits. The main ingredient is biotin (vitamin B7) that contributes to the maintenance of skin and hair, with reviews saying that they have noticed their hair "growing like crazy" since they started taking them on a daily basis. That's not all, the powerful vitamin also works to contribute to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and nervous system, while vitamin C helps with collagen production, bringing back elasticity and bounce to the skin. Not just ideal for beauty benefits, as the gummies boast a whole other host of ingredients such as vitamin B6 to regulate hormones, vitamin A for immune system support and iodine that helps to promote a normal thyroid function. They aren't the only chewable vitamins on the market that promote wellness, as Boots' Multivitamin Gummies that are packed with nine essential vitamins, including B7 and C, cost £4.50 for a bottle of 30. Not keen on chewable gummies? Then a powder formula may be a more suitable option, with Holland and Barrett stocking the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (567g) that contributes to hair, skin and nails for just £33.32. As for the WeightWorld Gummies, they have earned themselves an impressive 4.4 rating based on over 4,700 reviews from impressed shoppers who say they have left them with "fuller" hair and "clear" skin.

One delighted review read: "I been taking this for 2 weeks now and wow my hair has really grown. For ages my hair was so slow to grow but since I been taking these my hair is fuller in density and fuller all around! And my nails are hard as a rock and do not break easily anymore which they have for years due to fake nails etc. But yeah these are awesome." Someone else agreed: "These are very sweet and actually are like sweets! I've noticed that my skin has cleared up a lot after using these and my hair is growing faster! wow!" Beauty deal of the week Beauty fans looking to get a golden glow will know the benefit of tanning drops. One bottle that has "blown away" shoppers is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops - and they cost under £11 a bottle. Ideal for those who don't want to go through the hassle of using a tanning mitt to prevent patchiness or orange-tones, these "lightweight" drops can be easily mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a flawless glow. Since the drops offer a "buildable" bronzed look, many reviews have suggested that one of the positives is the ability to "control" the depth of their tan, unlike other products that deliver just one specific shade. Enriched with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these Garnier drops also work to keep your skin "intensely moisturised" day by day. Of course, with the reputation Garnier's Natural Bronzer Face Drops have earned, it's no surprise they have 4.2 rating based on over 2,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers call them a "little bottle of magic" for a "natural sun-kissed glow." One purchaser said: "Blown away! I'm not a phaffer. I generally don't bother with things like tan and bronzer. But this little bottle of magic changed all that! I love it! I pop it on with my moisturiser and a couple of hours later I am actually glowing! "I've been asked repeatedly if I've been on holiday, lost weight, got a new person, had a facelift or found a genie in a bottle. I'm so scared of running out I've stocked up!!" Shop the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops for £10.67 on Amazon here. Another shopper happy with the results said: "Great product, they taste like grape and are chewy, noticed my hair growing like crazy after three weeks." A few shoppers have criticised the taste as "synthetic", with one writing: "These are chewable gummies but they taste so synthetic. I can't continue using them." However, someone else who didn't mind was a little more positive, writing: "They taste yummy and are soft chewy gums. They work really well , my nails grow quickly as does my hair. So I'm doing a subscription so I never run out!"

Ignore these 4 anti-aging myths — plus the 2 habits that really can stop wrinkles
The weird and worrisome internet is flooded with anti-aging trends. Amid the sea of information and influencers, it can be increasingly challenging to separate fact from fiction and the beneficial from balderdash. Armed with truth serum, Dr. Louis A. Cona, MD, medical director of DVC Stem, is on hand to dispel four common skincare myths and share two helpful hacks for skin health. Advertisement 4 Melanoma is the most commonly diagnosed skin cancer in the US. Strelciuc – Myth #1: Sunscreen causes cancer Social media influencers have spread the erroneous news that the chemicals in sunscreen can cause cancer. As Cona explained, not only is this unequivocally false, but it also perpetuates negligent behavior that leads to skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. Advertisement 'There is no scientific evidence supporting the idea that sunscreen causes cancer. On the contrary, numerous studies have shown that regular use of sunscreen helps protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are a significant risk factor for skin cancer, including melanoma,' he said. Melanoma is the 'most commonly diagnosed skin cancer' in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and it kills about 8,000 Americans each year. Cona maintains that sunscreen should be applied daily, regardless of weather, and reapplied as needed. Myth #2: Collagen is a cure-all 4 While collagen supplementation can support protein intake, it has 'zero effect' on the appearance of the face. svittlana – Advertisement Collagen is routinely celebrated on social media as a miracle cure that can reduce fine lines, improve elasticity, and restore a youthful glow. Brands like Jennifer Aniston's favorite Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, Amazon's ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, and Thorne's Collagen Plus promise that by consuming collagen, you can effectively boost its production and reverse the signs of aging. Cona's verdict? Advertisement 'Although collagen is essential for skin elasticity, supplementation doesn't guarantee it will reach the skin in a functional form,' he said. 'The body breaks down proteins into amino acids during digestion, which are then used as needed—for muscles, bones, connective tissue or skin. There's limited evidence that these supplements directly improve skin appearance.' He noted that while collagen supplementation can support protein intake, it has 'zero effect' on the appearance of the face. Myth #3: Some products can erase wrinkles overnight As we live in a quick-fix world, this myth is particularly disappointing. While myriad anti-aging products (and the influencer who hawk them) promise instant results, Cona insists that there is no magic formula that can erase fine lines overnight. Many of these products function as a 'filler,' he said, temporarily improving the appearance of skin. However, fine lines inevitably reappear when the product is washed away. 'Topical products can support skin health, but they can't reverse deep wrinkles instantly. There's no such thing as a miraculous formula, and products that brand themselves as such are likely lying,' he said. Advertisement To effectively improve skin hydration and texture, anti-aging products require consistent use and may only provide modest benefits. Myth #4: Exercise can reverse aging 4 Exercise improves circulation, boosts oxygen, enhances muscle tone, and reduces inflammation, all qualities that contribute to a better complexion. Pixel-Shot – Regular physical activity is directly linked to numerous health benefits, but according to the doc, it cannot undo what has been done. Advertisement However, there are still plenty of reasons to keep it moving. Exercise improves circulation, boosts oxygen, enhances muscle tone, and reduces inflammation, all qualities that contribute to a better complexion. 'While exercising promotes overall health and can mitigate some aging signs, it's not a reversal. It's a preventive measure that supports the body's functions as we age,' Cona explained. Looking for real deal ways to battle the signs of aging? He says two practices can mitigate the wear and tear of time. 4 Experts say sleeping on your back is an absolute anti-aging hack. Jelena – 1. Sleep on your back Advertisement It turns out that when it comes to turning in, sleeping on your back is an absolute anti-aging hack. Due to excess pressure on the face, side or belly sleeping can expedite the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and asymmetry that come with aging. 'While changing sleep positions can help, investing in silk pillowcases and maintaining a proper skincare routine are also effective measures to protect the skin during sleep,' he explained. 2. Eat an antioxidant-rich diet Advertisement You can eat your way to better skin, says the pro, as an antioxidant-rich diet can combat oxidative stress. 'Antioxidants neutralize free radicals that can damage cells meaning a diet abundant in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can support skin health and potentially slow aging processes,' he said. In contrast, certain foods can trigger inflammation, accelerating the aging process. Experts recommend steering clear of red and processed meats, refined carbs like white bread, pasta, and pastries, as well as sugary treats like candy and soda. Trans fats — typically found in margarine, fried foods, and baked goods — also fuel inflammation, along with alcohol, which can further damage your skin and overall appearance. Cona noted, however, that diet is only one part of a larger constellation of anti-aging protocols that includes skincare, sun protection, and an active, healthy lifestyle.

Suite Talk: Target's Amanda Nusz on Prioritizing Personal Well-being and Serving Others With Intention
With a more than 25-year tenure at Target, Amanda Nusz has been instrumental in many developments within the company. And while she has held many titles through the years, the now senior vice president of essentials and beauty, merchandising for Target has always had her finger on the pulse of well-being — for herself and others. Nusz's roles at Target have included vice president of quality and responsible sourcing in Target's global sourcing organization, where she ensured that Target's vendors and suppliers operated safe, ethical and efficient factory environments and produced high-quality, sustainable, safe products and president of the Target Foundation. She was also integral in working with Isaac Mizrahi for Target in 2003, partnering with globally recognized designers including Alexander McQueen and leading development for Target's owned brand, Cat & Jack. More from WWD The 16 Best Face Exfoliators for Smooth, Radiant Skin, According to Dermatologists Salone del Planning Saudi Edition as Italian Design Firms Expand Retail Footprint Keeping It Real: Retail Buyers Love the Elevated Everyday for Fall Measuring success by the positive impact work has on others, Nusz told WWD that she thoughtfully considers well-being, making sure her holistic routine balances wellness, gratitude and collaboration. Here, Nusz talks to WWD about nailing down her personal wellness routine, proud career moments and what she's watching in retail today. WWD: What is the first thing you do in the morning? Amanda Nusz: The first thing I do in the morning is drink a tall glass of water. Then, I take my daily Ritual Essential for Women vitamin. I try to sneak in yoga if I can, but I find that using that time to make breakfast for my kids before they go to school nourishes me as much as it does them. Usually, it's as simple as oatmeal, fruit and Bloom Nutrition Greens and Superfood. WWD: What is your wellness routine 'must'? A.N.: I am a creature of habit with, thankfully, mostly healthy habits during the week. Over the years, I have established sleep, eating and movement routines that center joy, fun and laughter in my day-to-day. Laughter is such an important part of my health routine, made much easier by my mother, who lives with us and always makes us laugh, especially as she fights for that number-one spot every day on Duolingo. Beyond laughter and yoga, there are a few healthy supplements I love: Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (it makes my hair shine) and Ka'Chava's All-In-One Nutrition Shake — it's an easy way to increase my protein intake. I love to move, so I take the stairs whenever possible, even with luggage at the airport. But I also strive to take a few moments during the day to slow down and breathe, to improve focus and to ground myself. One habit that has been with me since childhood is writing or saying aloud what I'm grateful for each day. It seems cliché, but it is a fantastic mood booster. If a friend comes to mind during this gratitude practice, I try to reach out right away to connect. This network of friends and family and coworkers really helps to soften the stresses in my day. WWD: What does having a work/life balance mean to you? A.N.: I realized many years ago that personal growth and positive impact on people motivates me at the highest level, which is my north star in how I plan my day and measure my success. Nothing drives me more than helping and learning from the team as we work towards our shared goals, and this motivation is made successful when you first value yourself as a person versus attaching your self-worth to your job or title. I prioritize my well-being so I can serve others with intention. WWD: Looking throughout your career, what is a project/launch/product that you are most proud of? A.N.: I joined Target as a college student and have worked in various roles here throughout the years. There are many firsts that I'm humbled to have participated in — one career highlight was contributing to the creation of the multibillion-dollar kids brand, Cat & Jack, which focused on delivering joyful, family-focused playwear with positive messaging, amazing design, affordability and built-in sustainability attributes. To this day, I still hear from families who love the brand as much as us. WWD: What is a /tech trend that you're excited to see coming to life right now? A.N.: One trend that's not necessarily new but continues to rise to the top for me is providing consumers with a personalized shopping experience, whether that be in-store or online. I'm really proud of how connected our shopping experience is at Target — we're providing consumers with a curated experience, allowing them to easily discover, learn and shop our assortment. For example, we've upgraded our tech offerings by launching a Beauty Studio on featuring virtual try-ons for eyes, lips and face, skin diagnostics and a foundation finder. WWD: What is your ideal shopping retail experience? A.N.: My ideal retail experience is one that allows me to seamlessly merge my day-to-day with getting what I need quickly and easily. Sometimes that's placing an online order for DriveUp and other times it's browsing the aisles and discovering our latest offerings across the store. Target makes shopping trips easy by providing consumers with a curated experience, allowing them to easily discover, learn and shop our assortment. For example, we know our guests are thinking about their well-being routines more, so we've intentionally curated in-store displays incorporating our newest wellness items across categories like our exclusive Blogilates collection. WWD: When was the last time you treated yourself and what was it? A.N.: Someone gave me the Naturium Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash — it is so good. I gifted it to my mom and sister for the holidays. It is formulated with hydrating ingredients that lock in moisture, which is crucial during the winter months here in the Midwest. Also, I love a Minneapolis spa that has a cold plunge. This affection for the chill must come from my Finnish roots and my father, who believed that water would make everything better.
