A powerhouse product for aging skin, this serum has been packed with a cocktail of skin-loving ingredients to help lift, firm, and smooth the delicate skin on your neck and chest.

Co-enzyme Q10 works to support collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while quince-hydrogel boosts elasticity and helps maintain the skin’s natural lipid barrier.

Angelica root oil adds the finishing touch, strengthening and firming for a visibly lifted and more youthful look.

Better still, it’s vegan, cruelty-free and perfect for all skin types. For best results, the brand suggests massaging a couple of pumps into your neck and chest area twice a day, using upward motions.

‘It is the first time I have used a serum formulated for the neck and chest area, so I was really excited and intrigued to try out the product.

‘The Daily Lift is a beautiful serum which has really helped tone my neck. I have a visible horizontal crease under my chin, and in under two weeks I can already see a difference, the crease is definitely fading, my skin on both my neck and chest is firmer.’

Another added: ‘It really works. I bought this three weeks ago and I have certainly noticed the difference.

‘I’m not usually one for reviews, but I read them, and this product stood out with 5 stars. I have definitely seen a reduction in my wobbly under chin and have a much smoother neckline. I’m really happy with this product and do recommend.’

Everything you need to know about York Cottage, the ‘bachelor cottage’ with an ‘unlucky’ reputation on the Sandringham estate that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, might move into.

It was just five days after Chelsea Shields had the wedding of her dreams that things went wrong.

‘I woke up unable to see out of my right eye — it was complete darkness’ says the 28-year-old from Doncaster. ‘I was panicking. I thought, “What if I’m going blind? What if I’m not going to be able to see my children growing up?”‘

But her eyesight was just the start of a period of rapidly-declining health since tying the knot with husband Connor, 34, in August; a whole host of debilitating symptoms she now knows were caused by functional neurological disorder (FND).

‘I’ve always had issues with muscle weakness and pains. I’ve had back-and-forth visits to GPs and A&E for about 10 years,’ Chelsea explains. ‘But the worst symptoms I’ve experienced came days after my wedding.’

The morning she realised she couldn’t see out of one eye, she was rushed to hospital, where doctors said they thought she had a viral infection and sent her home.

The next day however, things only got worse.

‘I woke up and the other eye had started going blurry,’ Chelsea recalls. ‘I went back to hospital for more tests and scans, and there was no field of vision in the right eye at all, but nobody knew what it was.’

With doctors suspecting MS (Multiple Sclerosis), the mum-of-three was given powerful steroids while she waited for urgent scans – but by then, she was barely able to move.

‘I had a constant dull headache and I couldn’t cope with it,’ she says. ‘My left eye got significantly worse – and then I was in the kitchen making lunch for my children when I got hit with a sudden thunderclap headache.’

Chelsea ‘dropped to the floor’, getting her five-year-old to pass her the phone so she could call Connor for help, ‘crying out in pain’ as she tried to dial.

By the time the ambulance arrived to take her to hospital, she couldn’t even walk up to it without falling over.

‘I lost the ability to go to the toilet as well, so at 28-years-old, I had to be catheterised,’ says Chelsea. ‘I couldn’t get out of bed, because I’d been put down as a fall risk. I could just feel my whole body starting to give up on me.’

It was tough to cope, but after four long weeks without an answer as to what was going on, doctors finally gave her a diagnosis: functional neurological disorder.

This complex condition affects how the brain sends and receives signals to the body, causing a range of symptoms from muscle spasms to memory issues.

Living with Functional neurological disorder (FND)

Chelsea explains: ‘Before I was diagnosed, I’d never heard of FND, but it’s actually more common than people would think.

‘It can be very unpredictable, so it can mean anything from seizures to paralysis, which makes it even harder to get the right help.’

FND can be difficult to diagnose, and has no single ‘cure’, with treatment focusing more on managing symptoms through medication and physiotherapy.

Despite its severity though, Chelsea says the disorder is often dismissed or ‘not taken seriously’.

‘The main symptom for me is brain fog, which is quite bad when you have young children,’ she adds.

‘I have a lot of weakness in my legs, so 99% of the time I walk with a stick or crutches. There are times when I can’t feel my legs and I can’t physically walk.

‘I take about 20 tablets per day and suffer with constant pain. I’ve gone from a fully functional mum of three to feeling like I’m a 90-year-old. Three months ago, I never thought this would be my life.’

Determined to fight back, Chelsea has launched a Facebook page to vlog her journey and shine a light on FND – hoping her story will resonate with others battling the same illness.

She plans to regularly post videos documenting her daily reality with the condition, between the rigorous medication routines and how it impacts her mental health.

‘I can’t work, so I’m putting all my time into raising awareness,’ Chelsea adds.

‘I want to share everything, because I know it will help people.’

The Princess of Wales looked solemn in black as she visited the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, leading the nation in commemorating Armistice Day with a Service of Remembrance on the Armed Forces Memorial.

When 36-year-old mum-of-three Kaylie Bailey paid a beautician £75 to get three ‘Botox’ injections, she never thought it would stop her breathing.

Within days of the anti-wrinkle treatment, which was administered in a salon, she could barely see, so headed to Sunderland Royal Hospital.

After receiving a diagnosis of ptosis, also known as blepharoptosis or drooping eyelid, she was sent home, with doctors telling her it was likely due to her injections but to visit her GP if she noticed any further changes.

When Kaylie’s condition worsened over the next 48 hours however, she was rushed back to hospital and diagnosed with botulism, a rare, life-threatening condition caused by bacteria that attacks the nervous system – and if left untreated, can lead to paralysis and respiratory failure.

This is exactly what happened to Kaylie, who stopped breathing and had to be resuscitated, before spending three days in the ICU where she was treated with an anti-toxin.

It turns out she’d been injected with Toxpia, an illegal substance similar to, but not the same as, botulinum toxin (commonly referred to as the brand name Botox, although other brands are available, including Vistabel, Dysport, Bocouture, and Azzalure), which is widely used.

‘I remember lying on the bed thinking “I’m dying here and I don’t want to”,’ she told the BBC.

Kaylie is one of 41 confirmed cases of botulinum toxin-related botulism between June 4 and August 6, 2025, according to the UK Health Security Agency, sparking warnings over ‘dangerous, unlicensed products’.

In response to this growing issue, the Harley Street Skin Clinic is now demanding urgent government action to ensure only qualified injectors can perform aesthetic treatments.

It comes after the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health revealed 68% of cosmetic injections are being administered by someone other than a doctor.

In the UK there are currently no legal training requirements for beauty therapists and aesthetic practitioners injecting botulinum toxin or dermal fillers.

Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee, MP Caroline Nokes, dubbed the industry a ‘wild west’ in a Commons speech in August calling for increased licensing and regulation, adding: ‘Anybody can do anything to anyone.’

This absurdity must end

Sophie Cooper, managing director of Harley Street Skin, welcomes this, saying in an open letter: ‘Injectables like Botox and dermal fillers are prescription-only drugs for good reason.

‘They can cause blindness, necrosis, sepsis, and systemic illness. When injected by a trained doctor, these risks are managed. When injected by someone with no medical training, they are catastrophic.

‘A doctor studies anatomy for years. A beautician can take a weekend course and start injecting the public.’

So much about aesthetic treatments are policed, from tattoo ink to sunbeds. As Sophie highlights, even paracetamol sales are restricted, but the same doesn’t yet apply for cosmetic injectibles.

She adds: ‘Today anyone, regardless of training, can inject powerful drugs into your face. When it goes wrong, the NHS foots the bill, and the patient potentially pays with their life.

‘This absurdity must end.’

With an estimated 900,000 anti-wrinkle injections happening each year in the UK, there’s plenty of opportunity for things to go wrong. In 2024, the British College of Aesthetic Medicine recorded 3,547 cases of complications from non-medical injectors, 60% of which were traced back to beauticians.

And while issues typically range from soft tissue infections to necrosis and scarring, they can be deadly, as evidenced by the death of mum-of-five Alice Webb in September 2024.

The 33-year-old is thought to have died as a result of a botched non-surgical Brazilian butt lift (BBL), where dermal filler is injected into the buttocks.

Since 2022, Save Face (a platform that connects patients with accredited practitioners) has received more than 300 reports of people who experienced disastrous near-death experiences as a result of the so-called ‘liquid’ BBL and breast augmentation procedures, carried out using huge quantities of dermal filler.

These procedures are so dangerous that 99% of the 2,000 medically trained professionals surveyed by the organisation refuse to offer it because of the significant risks.

Following Alice’s passing, a Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: ‘We are exploring options around regulatory oversight of the non-surgical cosmetics sector and will provide an update in due course.’

But intervention is needed sooner rather than later, given that filler and anti-wrinkle treatments being injected in the likes of pop-up shops, hotel rooms and even public toilets.

Not to mention, just 42% of patients say a qualified prescriber was present during their consultation, while nearly one in five patients surveyed as part of an Anglia Ruskin University study say they weren’t informed of the risks.

Alarmingly, 9% of those who have had these injections weren’t even given a consent form.

So, if you’re considering a tweakment or two, do your research and only get an injection with a registered medical professional. You’re far better off being safe, than being sorry.
