Said to bring a spa-like experience to your at-home self-care routine, Shark Beauty’s CryoGlow Skincare LED Face Mask targets the appearance of fine lines, blemishes, puffiness and sagging with LED light therapy. The device offers four different modes: Under-Eye Revive, Better Ageing, Blemish Repair and Skin Sustain, allowing users to address specific skin concerns with every treatment.

The Shark LED mask features 480 LED lights that utilise red, blue, and infrared light in three distinct combinations, providing multi-action benefits with each use. Additionally, the mask’s InstaChill Cold Technology provides a refreshing wake-up call to tired-looking eyes, visibly de-puffing and firming the contours around them for a well-rested appearance.

And in case you’re concerned about comfort during use, this mask has been designed to sit comfortably on the face without causing discomfort. It features padding around the forehead and temple and adjustable straps for a seamless fit.

The Better Ageing Mode declares that, in a clinical trial, most users experienced an improvement in fine lines, a reduction in wrinkles, and more radiant, luminous skin within 4 weeks. Likewise, the Blemish Repair Mode also showed improvement in blemishes and skin roughness in 4 weeks.

Zara’s go-to face mask retails for £299.99 at Lookfantastic and from Shark’s own website. For shoppers looking to add LED benefits to their skincare routine without breaking the bank, the Stylpro Wavelength LED Face Mask is a great option, currently available for the more affordable price of £99.99 at Boots. Or, head over to Debenhams to find this Erth Beauty London Skin Retreat & Renew Light Therapy Face Mask on sale for £60, down from £150.

It isn’t just Zara who adores this face mask, as plenty of 5-star reviews pile up on Lookfantastic’s website. One buyer beams: “Really great purchase, I’ve been using my mask for 2 weeks now, and my skin feels much tighter and looks brighter. I love it!”

Another shopper shares: “Better than Cher at turning back time! Makes skin so soft after a few days, glowy skin, the eye cooler is absolute heaven, especially first thing in the morning, no puffiness.”

Further praise comes from this reviewer, who raves: “Excellent product. Super easy to use. Results were seen very quickly. I was even getting comments from loads of people about my skin. I used the better ageing setting for 4 weeks and have now been using the blemish repair for 1 week. Super satisfied. The price feels like a commitment, but the simplicity of use makes it easy to add it to my daily routine. I look forward to and enjoy using it every day.”

Though one shopper does knock one star off writing, “Great product, easy and comfortable to wear. The only downside so far is that the battery life is shorter than I hoped. I can use it for 3-4 days based on 1 session a day.”

But more praise comes from this commenter, who says: “Best thing I have bought in years!!! Amazing product.”

Kate Middleton ditches engagement ring for important reason on hospital visit

By in Entertainment News, News

The Prince and Princess of Wales have returned to work after the Christmas break as they surprised dedicated volunteer workers at a London hospital, with Kate bonding with volunteers over her own health journey

After a relaxing Christmas break spending quality time with family, Prince William and Princess Kate have returned to their royal duties for their first engagement of 2026. The Prince and Princess of Wales travelled to Charing Cross Hospital in West London to acknowledge the incredible work of NHS staff over a difficult winter period.

The visit highlighted the vital work of NHS Charities Together, of which William and Kate are Joint Patrons, after taking on the patronage during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Prince and Princess were greeted with smiling faces and excited murmurs as they surprised healthcare staff on their tea break, spending time with them to discuss the pressures they are facing during the winter virus season.

The Princess of Wales, who wore a burgundy suit for the occasion, bonded with a volunteer who worked with chemotherapy patients who told them how patients and visitors are there “for hours”. Kate, whose cancer is in remission, said: “I know”, before touched William’s arm next to her and said: “We know.”

William and Kate then met with volunteers managed by the charity who help to improve care for patients and take pressure off the wider workforce. Mealtime volunteer for Imperial Health Charity Gulsenem Vural, 21, attended the special tea party, saying of the visit: “Today has been an absolutely incredible experience that I will never forget – The Prince and Princess were so interested in hearing about everything we do to support the staff and patients at the hospital, and I’m proud to have been able to represent all of the volunteers today.”

At the end of their visit, William and Kate joined a roundtable with NHS charity CEOs and Trustees, policy makers and philanthropists to discuss the important role of philanthropy in the NHS.

Ellie Orton OBE, Chief Executive of NHS Charities Together, said of the royal visit: “It was wonderful to see the surprise on the faces of the healthcare staff and volunteers who were honoured to speak with The Prince and Princess – special moments like these give people a genuine boost at a very challenging time.

William was due to visit the hospital solo, before Kate decided to join her husband in a last minute change. Kate opted to leave her iconic engagement ring – which once belonged to Princess Diana – at home for the visit, as she has done in the past when visiting a hospital. Rings with large stones are believed to be an infection risk, as many healthcare professionals only wear plain band-style rings for this reason.

Buffy icon Sarah Michelle Gellar ‘still heartbroken’ one year after LA wildfires

By in Entertainment News, News

Sarah Michelle Gellar, best known for her titular role in the beloved Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, spoke out about the fires that devastated LA.

Hollywood actress Sarah Michelle Gellar has shared a poignant update on social media one year on from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, which reportedly killed 31 people and at least 13,000 homes.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, who is famous for playing Buffy Summers in the popular supernatural drama, expressed her heartbreak for those affected in view of her 4.9 million Instagram followers.

She shared a picture taken last year from her car, which shows her driving away from a huge pillar of smoke.

Gellar wrote: “While Jan 7 ‘26 is really exciting for me, I do want to acknowledge where I was on this day last year: leaving my house not knowing if it would be there to come back to.”

She continued: “We watched for days from afar not knowing. But in the end, we were one of the lucky ones. It was close, but our house made it to return to, unlike so many of our friends. My heart still breaks for all of you.”

The actress then shared a picture of the deadly fires sweeping through LA from above, explaining: “This is a picture I took of the TV, watching the fire come over our hillside.

“I will always be grateful to all of the firefighters who fought for days on end, with no break, to stop the progress. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

Last year, Gellar was forced to flee the LA wildfires alongside her equally famous husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., with whom she shares two children.

Thankfully, after fearing their colonial-style home in the Mandeville Canyon district was under threat, the family was eventually able to return.

Gellar criticised the way local authorities handled the crisis last year, saying at the time: “City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping.”

Amongst the thousands who tragically lost their homes in the fire were several celebrities, including famous couple Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, as well as Mel Gibson, Jeff Bridges, Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, Milo Ventimiglia.

Meanwhile, 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Gellar, who is helming the revival series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with the pilot episode set to be directed by award-winner Chloe Zhao.

Speaking exclusively to Reach Screen Time, fan favourite James Marsters previously revealed the reboot had caused a “feeding frenzy” in Hollywood.

He said: “I cannot wait. And then I’m assuming it’s going to go to series and the writer-producers that are going to be handling that are equally talented, but Chloé Zhao is just incredible.

“There’s a feeding frenzy right now in Hollywood,” he revealed. “All Hollywood writers are trying to get on this project.

“Because they all decided they wanted to be writers when they were kids and they watched Buffy and were like, ‘Wow, I wanna try that.’

“So everyone’s trying to get in on it and Chloe is one of the people where one of the reasons she’s a writer is that she loved Buffy.”

Katie Price reveals son Harvey is moving into his own home after leaving college

By in Entertainment News, News

The mum of five revealed her son would move into his new place at the end of the month, adding that she plans to kit out his new pad

Katie Price has shared an update on her son Harvey’s living arrangements after leaving college. The mum of five revealed her son would move into his new place at the end of the month, adding that she plans to kit out his new pad, which will be just 15 minutes away, so it’ll feel like a “home away from home”.

Harvey has ADHD, autism, genetic condition Prader-Willi Syndrome, and septo-optic dysplasia, which causes blindness. Katie previously revealed her son would be going from college into “independent living”.

Speaking on the Katie Price Show podcast, she said: “We are looking at his place this month, he should be moving at the end of this month. And then it’ll be 15 minutes. I can’t wait. It’s all been built, they are just finishing off building stuff and regulations because it’s brand new.

“I am going to get him a SMEG kettle and toaster, green ones , new plates, same as how I kitted Junior’s out. But I need to get him a new sofa, new bed, new bedding. I want to get a net – I have so many frog toys – just to put in the corner of his room. I’m going to make it a home from home and he will love it. I’m excited for him.”

In July, the former glamour model made the trip to see the 23-year-old at his accommodation after it was claimed the local authority had cut his funding. She explained how Harvey was going “into the real world”. Speaking on podcast, Katie said: “Harvey is doing the countdown for his new place. He’s got his leavers ceremony where they give out certificates and then it’s the ‘real world’ Mr Harvey Price.”

Katie shared a snap from his frog-themed room. Posting on Instagram , Katie wrote: “Visiting my Harvey at college.” She followed it up with three green love heart emojis.

The snap showed the mum-and-son pair sharing a peck as they lay on a bed. The green walls had a cartoon frog painted on, showing off Harvey’s love for the animal. There was also a pillow with his smiling face on.

In May, Harvey celebrated turning 23 with a frog-themed party. Katie shared the occasion on her Instagram, with photo upload of her son wearing a frog head band. She said he was “so happy” to celebrate the milestone.

Previously, Katie – who shares Harvey with former Manchester United footballer Dwight Yorke- had explained that her son “got bored” at the residential college and often wanted to come home .

Katie, who lives in Horsham, West Sussex, had previously said: “Harvey is supposed to be moving in four-and-a-half weeks, they’ve (the college) changed management and said they won’t be able to cater for Harv, because he’s too difficult. So now I’ve got to find another placement for him… so yeah, more drama to deal with.”

She added: “We worked months and months for that and he was told four-and-a-half weeks before that he couldn’t go there, and Harvey has been doing the countdown.

“Well it’s stressful because you want the right thing for your child and it is a lot of time and effort to go back and do more meetings, more forms, it is very time-consuming because you want the best for your child.”

Singer Cat Burns celebrates a “new life” after breast reduction surgery, sharing her journey of relief and self-love with fans following her star turn on the celebrity edition of The Traitors

Singer Cat Burns has joyously marked the beginning of her “new life” following a successful breast reduction operation, sharing the deeply personal news with her fans.

The 25-year-old songstress, who recently captivated audiences on the inaugural celebrity edition of BBC One’s hit show The Traitors, revealed that she opted for the procedure after enduring years of physical discomfort and emotional distress.

Taking to Instagram to document the milestone, Burns shared her journey with her followers, expressing a sense of overwhelming relief.

She admitted that she had grappled with body image issues since her early teens, making the decision to undergo surgery both a medical and a transformative personal choice.

Burns candidly shared her vulnerability with her audience, writing: “Was going back and forth on whether I was gonna share this but I know I’ve built an understanding community of people!

“I’ve just come out of my breast reduction surgery!” The singer described the emotional aftermath of the procedure, noting: “Had a big fat cry once I saw mum, sisty and Sarah—joyful tears by the way. The amount of relief and happiness I feel is overwhelming.”

Reflecting on the history of her struggles, Burns explained that her journey with her body had been difficult since puberty. “I’ve always struggled with my boobies since they arrived on my chest at like 12,” she noted.

“They caused me so much pain when exercising and I deeply hated the oversexualisation it brought.”

Despite trying various methods to manage the physical burden, including specialized bras and lifestyle adjustments, Burns decided that surgery was the right path forward. “I tried so many different ways to work with my body… but I thought while I’m young and healthy and by the universe’s grace am able to go through with this surgery, I want to love my body going into the next part of my life! Today marks the start of my new life!”

The singer confirmed the operation was a success, mentioning that she used affirmations to stay grounded. This health update comes during a whirlwind period for Burns.

On The Traitors, she narrowly missed out on the prize, being ousted in the final round after serving as a “Traitor” alongside legends Jonathan Ross and comedian Alan Carr.
