Hey, you… yes you! How would you like to win over £250 worth of gorgeous Hello Sunday treats?
Forget the thick, greasy sunscreens of the past, this UK-based brand is all about lightweight, skin-loving formulas that slot into your routine without any fuss. The packaging is cute, the names are playful (like 'The One That's a Serum'), and the products do more than just protect you from the sun – they also shield your skin from pollution and blue light.
How good is that?
Better yet, they're vegan, cruelty-free, and packed with good-for-you ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.
Basically, they've taken all the boring bits out of SPF and made it something you'll actually want to wear every day – which, we hate to remind you, but you should be doing all year round too.
Now we've teamed up with Hello Sunday to give one of you over £250 worth of goodies, including 'The One That's A Serum' (worth £23), and 'The Mineral One SPF 50' (worth £26).
The ultra-light, glow-giving formula that 'The Mineral One SPF' has is basically skincare's answer to a triple-shot oat latte: hydrating, energising, and totally addictive. It glides on like a dream (no chalky cast in sight), leaving your skin dewy, calm, and ready to face the day.
Packed with antioxidant-rich Kukui Oil and vitamin E, it's like a mini shield for your face – fighting off free radicals, smoothing fine lines, and helping to fade dark spots while you get on with your life. And thanks to hyaluronic acid, your skin stays plump and juicy whether it's heatwave season or mid-winter chill.
Fragrance-free, featherlight, and designed for everyday wear, this is SPF that works hard without showing off. Just like you.
Someone called 'PinkLady' from Belfast hailed it 'perfection for sensitive rosacea skin', and went on to add: 'This is perfect for easily dehydrated, sensitive rosacea-prone skin that reacts to most chemical sunscreens. It's very emollient, which is not pleasant at first, but dries to a nice satin finish. Minimal white cast. I'm also acne prone, and this caused no breakouts.'
Martha followed suit and also mentioned that it was a 'great option for deeper skin tones', and went on to say: 'For reference I'm a Fitzpatrick 6. I use 1 pipette full (1/2 suggested amount) with 1 finger of mineral sunscreen (1/2 recommended amount) to get full factor 50 coverage. Mineral sunscreens do have a white tint as they are white pigments but going it this way I do not get a white cast. I have told all my black friends about this as white cast is our regular struggle. This has saved me so much time with not having to apply makeup to make a mineral sunscreen work for me.'
If you're looking for a standout product, try 'The One That's a Serum SPF 50'. This featherlight SPF 50 serum is the kind of overachiever we love – moisturiser, sunscreen, and glow-booster all rolled into one sleek little bottle.
It's packed with antioxidants, brightening vitamin C, and plumping hyaluronic acid, so your skin gets a hit of hydration, protection, and radiance in one go.
No white cast, or greasy finish either – just smooth, dewy skin that looks like it's had eight hours of sleep and a green juice. It sinks in like a serum (because it is one) and works hard behind the scenes to fend off UV rays, pollution, and those pesky early signs of ageing.
Basically, it's your skincare routine—streamlined, simplified, and seriously effective. All-year-round glow? Sorted.
Below you'll find the list of all the products you can win.
The Everyday One Moisturiser SPF 50 – worth £18
The One That's a Serum SPF 50 – worth £23

2 ways to look smart in the summer heat

I t's hardly groundbreaking to suggest that you should invest in shorts and pastel shades for the summer. But these perennial favourites have made a return with a dash of difference. Gone are the days of tiny denim, stripy linen or crochet shorts — this season, it's all about tailored styles. In crisp white, rich brown or jet black, shorts have made the move to the smarter end of your wardrobe. Wear yours to the office with a sharply tailored jacket (don't worry, you don't have to wear it on the bus or the Tube), soft loafers and some no-nonsense chunky jewellery. For the evening, swap in a dramatic one-shouldered top and a pair of heeled sandals to make the most of your new-found best friends.

I put three new SPF sticks to the test for the summer – one option smells great and will get your whole family hooked

CALL me a hypocrite. I hate SPF. I use it, of course religiously, but the residue left behind gives me the ick. Thankfully, there's whole a new breed of SPF sticks hitting shelves. I put three to the test. 4 Budget Soltan Active 8 Hour Protect Suncare Stick SPF50+, £7 for 25g, boots On the outside, this stick looks to be the smallest of the three – but it actually has the most product inside. It's super-compact, making it great for popping into my handbag. The stick is quite hard, so it drags on skin, which slows down application and a few dandruff-like pieces flaked off, which meant I then needed to rub it in with my hands. This defeats the point somewhat, although it ensures you don't end up with stripes should you miss a section. It's great value, but not the most sophisticated. Mid-range Tocobo Cica Cooling Sun Stick SPF50+ PA++++, £16 for 18g, boots This is the latest stick to enter my stash, and it's gone straight into my handbag – it truly feels invisible on skin. Initially, the shape isn't great as it dips in the middle so you don't get even coverage, but after a couple of swipes the stick levels off. It promises to reduce skin temperature in just three seconds, and while I've not noticed the cooling effect promised, I'm convinced that the calming cica ingredient has helped take the sting out of a recent insect bite. I usually cannot stop itching them, and I didn't feel the need to at all while the SPF was on. Luxury Clarins Invisible Sun Care Stick SPF 50, £25 for 17g, Boots I first used this a couple of years ago, and in the time since I've got my whole family hooked. The stick is a transparent, orange hue so it doesn't leave any white cast behind, and you can see where you're applying it as it's shiny at first (although quickly absorbs into skin, so don't worry about it being sticky). It smells great, so you can skip wearing perfume over it as it reduces the effectiveness. It's still suitable for sensitive skin; mine is acne -prone and my mum has eczema, yet we're huge fans.

Tattle Life: Celebs say gossip forum ruined their lives. Now its owner has been unmasked

Celebrities and influencers have been shocked to learn a controversial gossip website accused of allowing stalking, harassment, doxing and "relentless trolling" towards them was being run by a 41-year-old vegan influencer called Sebastian Bond. While some public figures are used to dealing with online abuse and anonymous trolling, many, including glamour model Katie Price, say Tattle Life goes too far and is "the absolute worst platform for trolling".Set up in 2017, Tattle Life describes itself as a "commentary website on public business social media accounts" and its founder has operated anonymously - until recently. Following a landmark defamation and harassment case in Northern Ireland, the elusive founder of the website was revealed. "People shouldn't be able to hide behind a keyboard," Price tells the BBC, glad that its founder has been estimated Tattle Life could be earning up to £180,000 a year in revenue from Google Ads, according to The Centre for Countering Digital Hate. After the BBC contacted Google the platform confirmed it had restricted adverts appearing on the gossip 47-year-old Price, has hundreds of threads and anonymous comments about her looks, relationships and family, particularly her son Harvey who has multiple disabilities. Speaking to the BBC, Price says she has had many private documents posted onto the site - called doxing - including some of her confidential mail."It's absolutely horrendous, the stuff that's posted about me on the website," she says. "The abuse is unmanageable, especially when they involve my family." Price has done a number of stints at a mental health hospital as a result of the trolling on Tattle Life and says the "constant and disgusting abuse on the website" contributed to her decision to try to take her own life. In an email to the BBC's The State of Us podcast, which covered the story on 17 June, Tattle Life defended its business model, stating that influencers who monetise their personal lives should be open to scrutiny as it's a totally unregulated industry. But not everyone sees it that Clarkson's daughter Emily has recently spoken about how users on the website announced her pregnancy before she had, and says horrible comments about how she looked on her wedding day were part of the reason she went to therapy. Influencer Carly Rowena also found herself being trolled on the platform after her young son was taken to hospital. "People were saying it was all my fault," she says, with many comments accusing her of profiteering from her son's illness by continuing to post content on social media. For the past six years, Rowena adds, a thread has existed on the website that shares details of where she lives as well as her parents' names and address. 'This is not normal trolling' Caroline Hirons, a beauty expert with a large social media following, tells the BBC that it's a "lie that this is in the public interest"."I'm a skincare expert, you don't need to be posting pictures of my grandchildren," she says. Hirons has had private documents shared on Tattle Life as well as pictures of her children and grandchildren, some of which are still on the website."This is not normal trolling - the website has become a place that makes it seem like it's OK to stalk and harass people constantly."Lydia Millen, who has more than 1.6m followers on Instagram, also believes anonymity shouldn't be an option when utilising forums, comment sections or social media. "Whilst you are entitled to your opinion, you aren't entitled to anonymity which places you above the law," she argues. Millen, one of the most talked about people on the gossip website, says she has dealt with "relentless trolling" every day for the past five years, and often fears for her family's safety. Influencer Jen Graham agrees, suggesting people should have to verify their identity by uploading a document such as a driving licence or taking a picture of themselves."That way it's traceable and someone can't hide behind a secret identity," she says, "and if they're cruel then they're punished."Graham says that discovering a thread about herself on Tattle Life "massively sent me under". "It wiped me out for a month and affected how I made my content as I was really anxious about posting." Katie Price has long campaigned to make online abuse a specific criminal offence and make social media users provide verified identification when opening new accounts. "You should be able to trace these people as I imagine most people wouldn't say this stuff if they used an account under their real name."Price says she has tried to take legal action against Tattle Life and reported some comments to the police, but the force have been unable to find who is behind the posts because they're anonymous. Tattle Life claims to have a "zero-tolerance policy to any content that is abusive, hateful, harmful and a team of moderators online 24/7 to remove any content that breaks our strict rules - often in minutes". Laura Rodrigo from Tattle Life told the BBC recent events have "highlighted the need to make some changes going forward".She said Tattle Life would improve its reporting system by giving people a ticket number and reiterated that there is a contact form on every page where anyone can report a to SimilarWeb, an internet analytics company, Tattle Life has been visited more than 11.5m times in the past month, mostly by British users. 'Years of abuse and stalking' It was a defamation and harassment lawsuit brought by Neil and Donna Sands that eventually outed Sebastian Bond, who also goes by the name of Bastian entrepreneurs took action against Tattle Life after suffering years of abuse, trolling and in-person nearly a decade no-one knew who ran the website, with its operator going under the fake name Helen and Donna Sands were awarded £300,000 in damages and say they have received more than 1,000 messages from other celebrities and influencers who faced abuse on the email to the BBC claiming to be from Sebastian Bond's lawyers says he was "entirely unaware of the proceedings" brought before him and "is at a complete loss to understand how proceedings have been pursued" without his knowledge. "Mr and Mrs Sands have only obtained 'judgment in default' because my client wasn't aware of the proceedings, didn't have an opportunity to consider a defence and the proceedings went ahead in private," the email added. Mr Sands says he will continue to pursue legal action against the Tattle Life community, adding: "The usernames of everyone who has attacked us on the website are listed in the court order so we will take action against all of them". The couple first reported abusive content on Tattle Life in February 2021, but Mr Sands told BBC News and BBC Radio 5 Live's Nicky Campbell there are still comments of a stalking nature on the website and various threads about him keep being taken down and uploaded again. The BBC contacted Tattle Life for comment on this specific allegation but did not receive a response. 'Monetising cruelty' The Centre for Countering Digital Hate says the website has been "monetising cruelty" for years through Google ads.A spokesperson for Google said: "We don't allow sites to engage in disruptive ad serving practices. After reviewing the site in question, we have restricted ads in accordance with our publisher policies."It added that that when it restricts ads a site will have little to no buyer on platforms to tackle illegal content and activity under the Online Safety Act came into force in March, and Ofcom says it is currently assessing platforms' compliance with these new duties. It has launched investigations into 13 different platforms of which Tattle Life is not one, but the regulator expects "to make further enforcement announcements in the coming months". It added: "those who fail to introduce appropriate measures to protect UK users from illegal content should expect to face enforcement action."
