My skin was so dull but I found the best toner to make it hydrated and glowy, you won't find it in the beauty aisle
A WOMAN has shared how she got her skin from dull to glowy with a secret ingredient. Callere took to social media to show off the secret toner, but it wasn't something you'd find in the beauty aisle. 2 2 In the clip, she said: "When you stay consistent and your toner didn't fail you. "A year long, and it's still kicking in." Callere shared her skin before she started using the secret treatment and it was clear it looked dull and lacked moisture. But now, her skin looked bright and more youthful after applying the toner day and night. While many head to the beauty aisle to pick up a toner, Callere made her own at home using rice. She cleaned the rice with water before letting it ferment and turning to a milky liquid. The starchy water left over from rice has been proven to help skin look its best. Rice water contains antioxidants and compounds like ferulic acid and allantoin, which can brighten the skin, reduce pigmentation, and even out skin tone. You can make rice water at home by allowing the rice to soak in water for up to an hour, and then straining it into a bottle. Skincare whizz urges beauty fans to hit high street store for £2.49 spray that works a treat to stop spots on hot days To take it to the next level, you can also ferment the rice water. Let the rice water sit at room temperature for 1-2 days. The fermentation process boosts the levels of antioxidants within the preparation, making it even more effective for skin brightening and healing. It can be stored in the fridge for up to one week. The clip went viral with over 4 million views on her TikTok account @ callmereen107 and people were quick to thank her for the skincare hack. One person wrote: "Finally, found my people who loves the efficiency of rice. For less hassle buy rice flour. You can use it as a mask, iced cubes." "Rice toner and aloe vera plant, effective," penned a third. Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes 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. Meanwhile a fourth said: "So this actually works?" Someone else added: "Thank you."

Shoppers Say This Doctor-Approved Drink Mix from Costco Gives Them More Energy and Glowy Skin
Shoppers Say This Doctor-Approved Drink Mix from Costco Gives Them More Energy and Glowy Skin originally appeared on Parade. Wellness fans, take note: A cult-favorite greens powder that's earned the stamp of approval from health experts is now available at Costco and shoppers are calling it a game changer for energy, digestion and even glowing skin. This drink mix earned top marks from experts at Forbes, WIRED, Women's Health and more. We're listening! AG1 by Athletic Greens, a highly popular all-in-one greens supplement, is now stocked at Costco stores nationwide. Shoppers can pick up a 40-pack box of travel-friendly sachets for $72.99, a rare deal compared to the higher prices found elsewhere. 🍳 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & fun food news in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter 🍳 Touted as a nutrient-dense blend of 75 vitamins, minerals, probiotics and whole-food-sourced ingredients, AG1 is designed to help fill nutritional gaps and support overall wellness, especially for busy people who want a convenient morning routine. The brand recommends taking it first thing in the morning to support energy, gut health and immunity. Costco shopper @costco_empties shows off the popular drink mix in their warehouse: Shoppers say the benefits are noticeable. 'I feel more energized and way less bloated,' one Costco customer wrote. Others rave about improved digestion and skin that feels clearer and more hydrated after a few weeks of use. Some doctors and wellness experts, including neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman, have endorsed AG1 as a convenient nutritional supplement. It's praised for its inclusion of B vitamins, Rhodiola, probiotics and zinc, all of which may contribute to better energy levels, immune support and gut experts also urge caution. Nutritionists stress that AG1 is not a replacement for a balanced diet. It's missing key nutrients like vitamin D3, K2 and iron, and some ingredients—particularly adaptogens—don't have strong scientific backing for the benefits they claim. Additionally, some users report mild digestive discomfort (like gas or bloating), especially when starting out. Another consideration is the price. Even at Costco's discounted rate, it's still one of the pricier greens powders on the market. If you focus on maintaining a healthy diet filled with high-quality nutrients and vitamins, you may see similar results. Health professionals recommend treating AG1 as a supplement to a healthy lifestyle, not a shortcut. 'It's a convenient option, but it shouldn't take the place of fruits, vegetables and whole foods,' says one registered dietitian. Still, for those looking to jumpstart a wellness routine or streamline their morning rituals, Costco's deal on AG1 might be worth a try—especially if you're already a fan of functional wellness drinks and want to see what the buzz is Say This Doctor-Approved Drink Mix from Costco Gives Them More Energy and Glowy Skin first appeared on Parade on Jul 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Achieve a Quick Summer Makeup Look in 7 Steps, According to Makeup Artists
So you've mastered your five-minute makeup routine—it's time for the seasonal remix. A quick summer makeup routine is essential when you need to get ready fast, with products that can withstand sweltering heat and humidity. After all, who doesn't want to soak up the sunshine after months of gray, dreary skies? 'The epitome of summer makeup encapsulates the spirit of the season—the light, optimistic, and carefree mood we all feel during those sunnier months. In contrast to fall and winter's deep tones and the elements forcing us stylistically and cosmetically to cover up,'' celebrity makeup artist Andrew Denton tells Vogue. 'Summer makeup is about embracing the playfulness and effortless use of vivid colors and celebrating sun-drenched, bare, healthy skin that radiates, I woke up like this.' Vogue's Quick Summer Makeup Essentials 'Less is always more with summer makeup—it's the season to let the skin breathe, with no need for full coverage thanks to a natural sun kiss,' pro makeup artist Erica Beukelman tells Vogue. 'When spending more time in the sun, the last thing we want is a heavy amount of makeup. I tend to keep things simpler yet glowy,' pro makeup artist Kiersten Chambers adds. Leaning into that less-is-more mindset, pro makeup artist Anastasia Vavina emphasizes streamlining your routine with fewer products—ideally, a handful of essentials that fit into a single makeup bag and travel effortlessly. 'Cutting down on the number of products you use is key to achieving a faster look,' Vavina previously told Vogue. When in doubt, editorial makeup artist El DeBratto recommends following the three C's: a glowy complexion, curled lashes, and a flush of color from your go-to blush. Step One: Start With SPF 'Never skimp on sunscreen! Even when using a tinted moisturizer, I always encourage using a true sunscreen as a base first,' says Beukelman. 'Skin protection is of the utmost importance on sunny days, and your skin will thank you later for being religious with daily application,' adds pro makeup artist Andrew Denton. With that in mind, Eighth Day and Kosas offer mineral sunscreens that double as makeup primers—no white cast in sight. Meanwhile, Coola and Byoma's featherweight chemical SPF fluids glide on like a serum. Eighth Day The Rejuvenating Moisturizing Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 $140 NORDSTROM SPF 50 Face Fluid $19 AMAZON Step Two: Go for Bronzed Glowy Skin 'Hot days call for as little complexion products as possible in my opinion—mostly to avoid the dreaded 'slip,' but also because the claustrophobic feeling of a heavy base in high temperatures is an assault to the senses,' says Denton. For a DIY glow, Beukelman suggests mixing bronzing drops with a tinted moisturizer for 'a sun-kissed look with lightweight coverage.' For that barely-there feel, Chanel's Les Beiges tint isn't a moisturizer—but its unique gel texture delivers just as much ease and radiance. Prefer a touch more coverage? Jones Road's tinted formula subtly evens out the complexion without weighing skin down. Looking to take your glow even further? Saie's Glowy Super Gel will provide a lit-from-within sheen, while Glow Recipe's Hue Drops are ideal for achieving a warm, bronzy finish. Step Three: Follow Up With Spot Coverage In lieu of full-coverage complexion products, the pros recommend spot concealing to achieve that coveted your-skin-but-better look. 'Focus your concealer application on spot coverage of blemishes and the areas of the face prone to discoloration, such as under eyes and around the nose,' Vavina previously told Vogue.
