Skincare Experts Say This Natural Ingredient Works Just Like Botox
We’re only three months into the year but from The Inkey List to Elemis, beauty brands have already spoiled us with heaps of skincare products containing interesting new ingredients with transformative powers. We’re already loving fulvic acid (a gentle alternative to vitamin C which brightens dull skin over time) and succinic acid (touted as the ultimate spot solution). But right now, skincare lovers are searching for one ingredient in particular: spilanthol. If it’s not one you’ve heard of before, you aren’t alone. The smart ingredient is still very under the radar and unlike much-loved vitamin C and retinol, the majority of skincare brands haven’t yet jumped on board the emerging trend. That said, some skin experts think it’s going to be huge very soon, especially among those looking to incorporate more natural, plant-based ingredients into their skincare, or people interested in preventative or anti-ageing skincare. What is spilanthol? “Spilanthol is extracted from one of many medical plants originating from South America,” explains Dr Ana Mansouri, skin expert and aesthetic doctor at Kat & Co. “The flowers, leaves and stems from the subtropical herb spilanthes acmella plant have been extracted for the substance spilanthol for many years across the world. It has been used in communities as a traditional remedy for centuries for its anaesthetic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, for example treating headaches, toothaches, joint swelling and to promote wound healing.” What are the skin benefits of spilanthol? Dr Mansouri highlights that spilanthol’s skin benefits have not yet been extensively studied but some research shows a handful of promising effects on the skin. Firstly, it is an anti-inflammatory ingredient, says Dr Mansouri, so it can be beneficial in reducing swelling and redness. “Studies have shown that spilanthol can block allergic inflammation in skin concerns like atopic dermatitis,” a common form of eczema which can make skin appear dry, cracked and itchy or uncomfortable. Spilanthol can help calm that irritation. “Secondly, spilanthol has also shown skin penetration benefits where it can increase the absorption of other topical substances applied on the skin,” says Dr Mansouri. Basically, the ingredient (usually found in lightweight serums) helps anything you apply on top, such as moisturiser, eye cream or facial oil, sink into the skin better and really work its magic. Much like vitamin C, spilanthol is an antioxidant, which means it protects skin against dulling environmental aggressors such as pollution. Most interestingly, beauty brands are utilising it for its potential to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. “One study has suggested that it may have a blocking effect on the muscles in the face,” says Dr Mansouri. “This suggests it may be used to reduce muscle movements, thereby softening wrinkles.” Dr Mansouri says this is why spilanthol has earned the nickname “organic Botox“. Unfortunately, the hard data here is lacking, says Dr Mansouri, who champions spilanthol’s soothing and anti-inflammatory effects instead. But that hasn’t stopped brands from becoming very excited by it. How do you use spilanthol and what are the best spilanthol serums? Products containing spilanthol are pretty exclusive but spilanthol serums in particular are making waves among beauty lovers as they are more concentrated than other forms of skincare. Jane Scrivner’s Bioluronic Buzz, £29, is a hydrating hyaluronic acid serum which contains spilanthol. According to the brand, much like Botox, the ingredient has a temporary ‘paralysing’ effect on the skin, smoothing over fine lines and wrinkles and improving skin texture. While on the expensive side, influencers and editors love Tata Harper’s Elixir Vitae Eye Serum 2.0, £257, for taking care of under-eye skin. It’s a little thicker in texture than other serums so doubles up as your eye cream. Shea butter, hyaluronic acid and a team of oils help nourish and moisturise dry skin, temporarily reducing faint lines. For skin that is on the dry side, try Advanced Multi-Perfecting Red Oil Serum, £95, or Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Oil, £180, which both contain spilanthol. If you’re looking for a moisturiser instead, D’Alchemy’s Age Defence Broad Spectrum Remedy, £50.80, is a rich cream suited to more mature skin. Spilanthol helps skin feel firm and supple, while argan oil and shea butter deeply moisturise, helping to smooth skin texture and plump out fine lines temporarily. R29 also rates Jurlique Nutri-Define Supreme Conditioning Lotion, £52, as it’s lightweight and contains ultra moisturising glycerin. If you’d rather not splurge, the KIKO MILANO Sublime Youth Serum, £21, also contains the ingredient, as does the Oskia Restoration Oil, £18. So what’s the best way to use spilanthol? “If you want to maximise its antioxidant abilities, I’d suggest implementing spilanthol during your morning skincare routine,” says Dr Mansouri, “as this will make the most of its possibility to fight exposure from the environment.” Dr Mansouri suggests dialling up your skin protection and teaming spilanthol with another antioxidant of your choice, such as vitamin C if you’re already using it. That said, many products containing spilanthol can be used either in the morning or the evening. If you’re using a serum specifically, apply after cleansing and follow with moisturiser. Are there any side effects of spilanthol in skincare? Dr Mansouri says that no side effects have been highlighted so far but as with all new ingredients, she suggests proceeding with caution and doing a patch test first. “Generally speaking, take care to check what other ingredients have been included in the formulation you choose, as these may have the potential of their own side effects,” adds Dr Mansouri. “Also, be mindful of spilanthol’s suggested ability to enhance the absorption of other active ingredients,” adds Dr Mansouri. “For potentially irritating, active ingredients such as AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids with exfoliating properties, like glycolic or lactic acid) or retinoids, I’d suggest particularly sensitive or reactive skin types use them on separate occasions from spilanthol to prevent any reactions.” Always use skincare products as directed by the label or instructions and monitor your skin for any signs of adverse reaction, concludes Dr Mansouri. She adds that if you notice any side effects such as redness or irritation, stop using the product and contact a skin expert as necessary.

Money Diary: A 20-Year-Old Law Student In Wiltshire On 13k
Welcome to Money Diaries, where we're tackling what might be the last taboo facing modern working women: money. We're asking a cross-section of women how they spend their hard-earned money during a seven-day period – and we're tracking every last penny.This week: "I am currently at university. I am originally from Wiltshire but moved to London in 2018 to pursue a law degree (LLB). I fund my university with student loans and supplement the loans with my part-time job as a tutor.Growing up, I observed the complicated relationship that my parents had with money. They would seldom express the financial difficulty that they were in but it was an unspoken rule between my sister and I that we would not ask for more than necessary. This meant that we often declined optional school trips and social engagements. Understanding how much debt my parents were in encouraged me to step up to add some order. I often drafted a shopping list for my parents, advised on how we could save money, got a job to contribute early on and cautioned my parents on their spending. I understand that my parents were unable to prioritise our family's financial future because, being the first generation of our family to reside in the UK (they moved from Nigeria), there was a lot of pressure from the external family to financially support others once we came here. Moving back home during the pandemic was not an easy decision because I had moved to London in the hope of finding independence and establishing myself in the city. My decision to move home was for a range of reasons which included saving money on rent and transportation. I know that a lot of young adults have had to move back home, which helps me not to feel like I am behind in life. While it is discouraging to have the global pandemic cause financial harm, I choose to acknowledge this as an opportunity to spend time with family, to save money and take an inventory of my finances. I continue to worry about money but in these times I have been working hard on shifting my mindset from one of scarcity to one of abundance." Industry: Law studentAge: 20Location: WiltshireSalary: £13,000Paycheque amount: £300 from my part-time job. I don't pay tax as I am not over the personal allowance yet.Number of housemates: Four (parents and two younger siblings).Monthly ExpensesHousing costs: £0 since moving back home, previously was £640/month.Utilities: £0. Previously this was included in the rent. Net worth: £0Loan payments: I will have about £60,000 debt when I finish my degree. Transportation: Since moving back and working and studying from home, I have not opted for a bus pass because the places I go to are walking distance.Phone bill: £20Savings? Investment: £30. I got into investing a few months ago and I am committing to investing 10% of my monthly paycheque from my part-time job. I invest this amount and I try to replicate successful ‘investment pies' shared by others slowly.Other: Apple storage: £0.79 for 50GB storage plan. Tithe: £30. Since the start of the pandemic, I have reconnected with my Christian faith and I have recommitted to tithing 10% of my paycheque.Day One6am: I wake up to work out at home. I find that working out at home is more enjoyable than going to the gym because I find it slightly awkward working out in front of others, and of course it saves money.9am: I begin to focus on my studies. I try to follow a 9am to 5pm routine because I find that it helps me to stay disciplined while studying and working from home. I head to my designated workspace, which is a corner in my bedroom. 1pm: My phone's alarm goes off, reminding me that it is lunchtime. I race down to the kitchen to see what meal I can throw together. I had planned that I would get something healthy such as a salad. But with the stress of the morning's work, I head out to my local Iceland to pick up some frozen items. I purchase a frozen pizza, some southern fried chicken and a Pepsi. £6 2.30pm: I continue with my work for university. I read through some notes in preparation for the seminar that I have at 3pm.5pm: Classes have finally finished for the day. I head down to prepare dinner since it is my turn to cook today. My family has divided responsibility for dinner so that I cook two days, my sister cooks two days and my mum cooks three times. I cook up spicy tomato pasta with meatballs with the ingredients bought during this week's grocery shop totalling £16.98.7.30pm: I begin to wind down for the day with some Korean dramas with my sister. We are watching True Beauty and it is such a funny show to relax to.9.30pm: I read through my calendar and notepad to double-check my plans for tomorrow. I get ready for bed and then it is lights out.Total: £22.98Day Two6.40am: Since I am not working out today, I take this opportunity to sleep in a little before waking up to my day.7am: I get ready for the day and spend some time chatting to my mum. Less time for breakfast today, which means that I take my toast upstairs and finish eating while working on my studies.9am: I have work later today. I tutor maths and English online so I know that I only have until 1pm to get some schoolwork done. I prioritise my tasks and deadlines to see which one I should use this time to work on.1pm: So happy that it is lunchtime! I grab some leftover pizza and chicken from the freezer and have the same lunch as I did yesterday. I use this time to go for a walk with my sister around our neighbourhood. It feels good to get some fresh air into my system, having stayed indoors for some time. 4pm: Work starts. I work with a range of kids with different backgrounds and abilities so the work is always diverse. I enjoy tutoring online because I can focus solely on the one child in the meeting and see their progress as well. 8pm: Finished work for the day so I head to the kitchen to pick up the dinner that my sister has prepared. She has made some nice jollof rice and plantains – so happy because this is my favourite meal and a nice way to finish the day.Total: £0Day Three6am: I wake up in the morning with a dread for the day because of the back-to-back meetings and tasks that I have lined up for my studies. I try to unwind and distract myself by reading a book. I am currently reading Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult. It is such an interesting and well-written book but the themes of sadness and longing do not help with my mood for the day.7am: I try to counteract this feeling with some more light-hearted and carefree stimulation by tuning into The Bold Type while eating my breakfast. 9.40am: Running slightly late in starting my day because I decided to clean and hoover the house a little. With everyone at home, it is more important to make sure that our space is tidy and organised. 1pm: One of my favourite parts of the day! I nip out to pick up some vegetables and toiletries which we are running low on in the house. I also use this opportunity to pick up a sandwich from the shop. This shopping totals £8.2.30pm: I am back to my studies. Dreaming about other things and constantly reminding myself to focus. I find that there are distractions close by when I am working from home, such as my phone (the big culprit) and family, who I can hear chatting downstairs.6pm: I race to eat my dinner which my mum has prepared. Today I have some rice and stew before logging into Skype for a catch-up with my friends. 7pm: We (myself and friends) put on some face masks. I put on the Holographic Peel Off Mask from T-Zone that my sister picked up for me during the day. I remember to send her £4 to cover this cost.9.30pm: I am having fun with my friends but sleep is definitely catching up with me so I say my goodbyes and goodnights and call it a day. Total: £12Day Four6.40am: I wake up in a better mood and I do some stretches facing the window. Afterwards I make my bed. 7am: I enjoy my coffee and toast and recommence my binge of The Bold Type. 1pm: Oops! I stayed in the living room watching episode after episode of Everybody Hates Chris. When my alarm goes off, I stretch my legs and head to the kitchen to fix a nice chicken burger for lunch. 4pm: My dad gets back from work and the whole family spends some time in the living room, chatting, laughing and watching TV.5.30pm: Dinner is on me today so I order some KFC via Uber Eats for £10.78 (this included the 25% off your first order) to continue this minimum-effort day that I have had before calling it a night around 10pm.Total: £10.78Day Five6am: I wake up and I am back in the grind of things. I start my day with a morning workout with Les Mills on YouTube.7am: Feeling super healthy because I have just had that workout. I try not to sabotage this feeling by blending a green smoothie containing spinach, apples and pears which I purchased a couple of days ago in that quick groceries run. 9am: I hop on Teams for a seminar for my course and then spend the following hours revising this week's work and reviewing next week's reading. 1pm: Lunchtime again. I put in the oven some chips and fish which my mum picked up during the week. 3pm: I begin work for my part-time job. I have a short day today, only a couple of hours. Due to the pandemic the hours and days that online tutoring is available have been shortened and so have our shifts.5pm: I finish work just in time for dinner as my sister calls me downstairs. I am having chips again because my sister is unaware that I already had some earlier. But she adds a little twist by making stir-fry chips with this lush tomato and pepper sauce to accompany the dish.7.30pm: I use this opportunity to review any applications that I can make for training contracts or law school for next year. To finance law school next year for the LPC, I plan on doing a combined master's which will allow me to get a postgraduate loan for my studies. However, of course, this is more debt at the end! Total: £0Day Six6am: I get up this morning and spend some time reading my book. I like this slow start since I know that I will be in back-to-back meetings for my part-time job today. I have a fruit salad for breakfast with black coffee.9.30am: Ready to start the day. I support each child in their session and liaise with parents/guardians at the end to deliver feedback on the progress that their child is making.1pm: I enjoy my job but I am happy to recharge after back-to-back meetings with children! I am excited for this one-hour unpaid break and head down to make a pasta salad for lunch. 5pm: I finish up with the last student and get ready for a run while the sun is still up. I run around my neighbourhood and later run a long bath to unwind. 7pm: I switch on some fairy lights and candles in my room to really get into the mindset to relax after the week. I watch some reruns of Pretty Little Liars on the BBC while eating Indomie. With my sister's busy schedule, she did not have time to make dinner today so I whipped up a quick ramen meal for us.9pm: I am tired and snuggle up under the covers, falling into a deep sleep.Total: £0Day Seven7am: I wake up to get ready for church because my dad has pre-booked spaces for the family for 8.30am mass. 8.30am: I give an offering of £2 to the church (on top of my 10% tithe). On the way back from church, I pick up a scratch card because I am feeling a little lucky (£1). This feeling was false as I did not win anything.11am: I spend some time going over some of the tasks that I could not complete during the week for school. 2pm: My sister picked up a meal deal for me from her work. I send her £3 to compensate. 3pm: I have church online with VOUS Church, which I have got into since the pandemic. No fees necessary to join. 5pm: I help my mum out with dinner. She chats to me about how family are in Nigeria and I agree to send over £100 this evening to help family. This translates to 52,734 naira (at the current exchange rate), which can mean a lot to family back home. 9pm: I am done for the week so I head to bed and fall asleep after watching some random YouTube videos. Total: £106The BreakdownFood & Drink: £44.76Entertainment: £0Clothes & Beauty: £4Transportation: £0Other: £103Total: £151.76Conclusion"Overall, the biggest category was 'other' due to the money that I sent to family back home. Of course, this money diary only shows a week but for those who have moved from another country, there is still an expectation that we will look out for and care for those that we have left behind. That is perhaps a non-negotiable outgoing from my account. When I look at the money that I spent on food and drink, it is apparent that we enjoy a lot of luxuries such as Uber Eats, which we can call upon if we do not feel like cooking after a long day.I need to evaluate further ways that we can collectively save money. This is to ensure that we are in the best financial position if the pandemic rages on. I would say that my spending was a lot more calculated when in London as it is so expensive and to ensure my longevity in the city, knowing how much I had coming in and out was crucial for my stay. Being back at home has perhaps made me more relaxed in that we are blessed to have three working people who can supply a more diverse stream of income to support us all. Collectively, it seems as though we do not really have control of the money that we have going out. But my family would like to get on the property ladder and own a house soon, instead of renting a house in disrepair as we have done for more than a decade. To get serious about that, money diaries such as this one are crucial to seeing where and how to save money. I will definitely keep at it and encourage others to create their own money diaries as well."Like what you see?

Have British dog owners lost control of their pooches?
“It was OK when there was just the one crazy, untrained dog in the park, but now it’s chaos.” I’d seen Emma Lewis-Galic and her two shaggy pointers on my usual dog-walking turf, but we had never stopped to chat – until now. Very quickly, the subject turned to dog rage at the surge in young dogs, bought in lockdown and now coming into their most difficult “teenage” periods. “Lockdown puppy owners,” she fumed, “expect their dogs to be like Timmy from The Famous Five without putting in any training at all. Their unruly pups and adolescent dogs are like that sweaty, drunk bloke in the pub that won’t leave you alone. Their relentless onslaught will annoy all but the most tolerant adult dog.” Anecdotally, the increase in barely trained or poorly socialised dogs with naive and inexperienced new owners is creating a them-and-us attitude in local parks. Unusual numbers of teenage dogs, in their tricky six-to-18-month period, are inciting dog rage between the existing owners and the lockdown arrivistes. My older dog, Wolfy, is entirely unaggressive but, like a lot of older dogs, finds puppies annoying and will tell them so. Before the lockdown puppy boom, the times when he’s given a pesky little scrap a brief, fierce and noisy ticking off would be greeted by the owner with genuine thanks. Older dogs are an essential part of a puppy’s education in good manners. Lately, though, Wolfy’s grumpy growls have been greeted by something like hysteria. When, on Wormwood Scrubs, he had a snarl at a £2,500+ poseur pup snuffling round his behind, its owner scooped it up like a kitten, said Wolfy was “aggressive” and slithered off at the highest speed he could in his silly smart shoes through unholy mud. “You do know you’ve got a dog there, not a toy, don’t you?” I couldn’t help shouting after him. I am no paragon of dog ownership. I am sympathetic to the trials of training. My lockdown addition, Boof, a two-year-old metre-high podenco that I adopted from Ibiza, is no cinch to train. The misplaced confidence – pure hubris, really – I had about adopting her was down to the fact that Wolfy was a peach from day one. Life with Wolfy was so perfect, I wrote a book called Lost Dog: A Love Story about our lives together. Now, I cringe thinking I sold people a fairytale. If urban parks have seen a rise in conflict between humans, elsewhere in the country the impact of unruly dogs is more devastating than a few muddy paw prints on coats, upset kids and their irate parents. Andy Power is one of many farmers fencing off land for the growing trend of dog-walking fields – places where dogs can go off lead in safety. His field at Cator Gate on Dartmoor is seven acres, with entry £8 an hour. “By definition, someone who books into a dog walking field is a responsible owner,” he says. “One dog recently did serious damage to a flock of sheep, several of which had to be destroyed. It’s an enormous problem for farmers. I don’t think people realise that a dog among sheep is like a fox in the chicken coop. They don’t kill one for their tea, they kill the whole lot for fun. Once your dog is in that state, no amount of yelling its name will make a difference. Even a well-trained pet is deaf to its owners calls. “It’s never the dogs fault – it’s always down to a lack of training and awareness on the owner’s part.” According to a spokesperson for the UK’s 15 National Parks, there’s a concern about increased numbers of out-of-control dogs: “Anecdotally, we are dealing with more of it, but we are trying to get the message across in a non-judgmental way. We want people to come, we don’t want to whinge about it, but without risk to livestock and wildlife like the ground nesting birds. “Everyone loves the idea of roaming free with a dog at their side. But the truth is, off-lead, even the best behaved dog in the world can upset livestock and wildlife.”
