Sweets
- Wicked Gummy Co gummies, £21.99 for a month’s supply – buy now
Wicked Gummy Co has launched a range of five vegan-friendly gummies.
Fantastic for people who struggle to swallow pills.
But don’t eat them for fun – the main ingredient is glucose syrup, which counteracts the positive benefits in my opinion.
Ageing
- Lumity supplement, £76.50 for a month’s supply – buy now
Anti-ageing supplement Lumity can count Cheryl Tweedy, Helena Christensen and Mel C as fans.
Clinical trials show 92 per cent of people notice better skin, hair and nails after taking the potent mix of vitamins, omega fatty acids, amino acids and minerals.
It has transformed my nails and skin.
Injection
- Slimboost lipotropic vitamin injection, £39 – book now
The Slimboost injection claims to detoxify you and regulate sleep, mood and appetite cycles while promoting natural weight loss.
My doctor reckons it is a load of rubbish but I lost a couple of pounds without thinking about it.

Budget

Formulated with acids naturally derived from sugar cane and citrus fruits.

My skin was noticeably brighter after three weeks. I’ll definitely continue.
Mid
- Super Facialist’s Brighten Booster, £18, 15ml – buy now
For best results, you are meant to add this to your usual moisturiser or serum.
It claims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and protect against harmful UV effects.
I didn’t notice a difference to wrinkles but it did appear to lighten areas of pigmentation I have as a result of sun exposure.
