I Tried $1,414 Worth Of Viral Skin-Care Devices & There’s One Clear Winner
In this age of technology, it feels like there’s an option out there to meet anyone’s needs at any time. Our entire identities are in a cell phone and you can get salads from a vending machine at the airport — the machines are beep-booping harder than ever, and no corner of the beauty world has seen that more than skin care. More than a decade after Clarisonic (RIP) meant we didn’t have to use our hands to wash our face, there’s pretty much a technological device for everything: serums, dermaplaning, microcurrents, and more.

Britons warned to ‘avoid’ violence hotspots as riots and looting shake France
Britons have been warned against travelling to hotspots of violence in France as riots threatened to escalate out of control. Newly-updated Foreign Office advice warns holidaymakers to “avoid areas where riots are taking place” as the situation becomes “unpredictable”. A total shutdown of public bus and tram services was ordered nationwide on Friday night after shops were looted and several city centres were ablaze from protesters setting light to cars and buildings. President Emmanuel Macron urged parents to keep teenagers at home, saying his government was considering “all options” to restore order. More than 200 police have been injured in the unrest, which was sparked by the fatal police shooting of a teenager. Some areas were facing curfews. By Friday, 875 suspects had been arrested as authorities struggled to quell the clashes. Violence flared in Marseille, Lyon, Pau, Toulouse, Strasbourg and Lille, as well as in Paris, where a 17-year-old driver of Algerian and Moroccan descent, identified only as Nahel M, was shot dead in the suburb of Nanterre. A dozen buses were gutted by a blaze at a depot in Aubervilliers, northern Paris, and a tram was set alight in Lyon. In Nanterre itself, protesters torched cars, barricaded streets and hurled projectiles at police. Shops, including an Apple store, were ransacked in Strasbourg, while several Casino supermarkets were looted. The interior ministry said 79 police posts were attacked overnight into Friday, as well as 119 public buildings, including 34 town halls and 28 schools. Concerts by French singer Mylene Farmer were cancelled at the Stade de France. In the Chatelet Les Halles shopping centre in central Paris, a Nike store was broken into, and several people were arrested after store windows were smashed in the adjacent Rue de Rivoli, police said. The energy minister said several staff of a power distribution firm were injured by stones thrown during clashes. Nanterre shopkeeper Pascal Matieus said: “It’s become completely out of control. The police have lost control.” British holidaymakers who are already in France or planning to travel there over the weekend have become increasingly worried. The Independent calculates that around 260,000 British travellers are booked on flights, ferries and trains to France on Saturday and Sunday. Newly updated official travel advice warns them of potential disruption. “Since June 27, riots have taken place across France. Many have turned violent. Shops, public buildings and parked cars have been targeted,” the government advice states. “There may be disruptions to road travel, and local transport provision may be reduced. Some local authorities may impose curfews. “Locations and timing of riots are unpredictable. You should monitor the media, avoid areas where riots are taking place, check the latest advice with operators when travelling and follow the advice of the authorities.” While most of the unrest has taken place well away from tourist areas, closing down public transport in Paris and other big cities at night will cause significant problems for many holidaymakers. Britain’s biggest budget airline, easyJet, says it will allow passengers booked to travel on Saturday or Sunday to switch to a different flight without paying the normal £49 fee. A spokesperson said: “Any customers due to fly to France this weekend who would like to change their plans can contact our customer service team for assistance with their options which include a transfer to an alternative flight and we will waive the change fee.” Almost all Eurostar trains from London to Paris at the weekend are full, representing around 20,000 travellers. A Eurostar spokesperson said: “Our services to France are currently running as scheduled and normal ticket conditions apply. “We will continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates on Eurostar.com and Twitter if this changes.” As the Foreign Office is not warning against all travel, holidaymakers will not be able to claim if they decide not to continue with their trip to France, or to come home early. Nahel M was driving a car early on Tuesday morning when he was pulled over for breaking traffic rules, prosecutors said. The teenager was too young to hold a full driving licence. His death, caught on video, has ignited longstanding resentment among poor, racially mixed, urban communities about police violence and racism.

Budget Bites: Three one-pan recipes that minimise on washing up
If you are after simple, filling meals that require very little washing up… you are in the right place. As part of our Budget Bites column – where we’ve teamed up with Sorted Food to bring you easy, affordable, quick and (most importantly) tasty recipes once a month – we’ve brought you three one-pan dishes that maximise on taste, and minimise on mess. They also make the most of your staple ingredients while keeping your fresh shopping list minimal. We’ve also provided a handy shopping list for the ingredients (though hopefully most of it will be knocking about already), which are used across all recipes to ensure minimal food waste. You just need to decide where to shop, whether it’s locally or online. Shopping list 3 clove garlic 1 small butternut squash 2 lemons 200g fresh spinach 10g fresh basil 1 aubergine 200g cherry tomatoes 20g fresh basil 1 small broccoli 250g mascarpone 50g hard Italian cheese 280g extra firm tofu 50g black olives 2 tbsp capers 500g pre-cooked gnocchi 150g couscous 200g orzo Olive oil 1 vegetable stock cube cube Roast broccoli and orzo traybake This recipe also works well with diced courgette instead of broccoli. Serves: 2 Ingredients: 4 tbsp olive oil 1 broccoli (small) 200g orzo 2 cloves garlic 1 vegetable stock cube cube 100g mascarpone 1 lemon Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 220C, then fill the kettle with water and get it on to boil - this will be for the tray bake. 2. Cut small florets from the stalk of 1 small head of broccoli. Finely mince the stalk. 3. Toss the prepped broccoli with 2 tbsp of oil and a generous pinch of salt in a large roasting tray. Spread it out into 1 even layer. 4. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until golden in places. Crack on with a bit of washing up while you wait. 5. Once the broccoli is ready, add 200g of orzo to the tray, then finely grate in 2 peeled cloves of garlic. 6. Crumble over 1 stock cube, tip in 500ml of boiling water, give everything a quick stir, and cover with tin foil tightly. 7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the orzo is nearly soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed. 8. Once the orzo is nearly soft and nearly all the water has been absorbed, remove the foil and bake again for 5-6 minutes, until the orzo is soft and all the liquid has been absorbed. 9. Give the orzo a quick stir once ready, and season to taste with salt and pepper. 10. Add blobs from 100g of mascarpone, then finely grate over the zest from 1 lemon and squeeze over its juice. Drizzle over the remaining 2 tbsp of oil and serve. One-tray tofu caponata-style couscous If you aren’t a tofu fan, feel free to sub it out for another aubergine. Serves: 2 Ingredients: 280g extra firm tofu 1 aubergine 5 tbsp olive oil 200g cherry tomatoes 20g fresh basil 1 clove garlic 150g couscous 50g black olives 2 tbsp capers Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 220C - this will be for the tray bake later. 2. Cut 1 280g block of tofu into around 9-12 bite-sized chunks, then remove the green stalk from 1aubergine and cut the flesh into similar-sized chunks. 3. Toss the tofu and aubergine with 3 tbsp of oil and a generous pinch of salt in a large roasting tray. Spread everything out into 1 even layer. 4. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until golden in places. Get on with the rest of the dish in the next steps while you wait. 5. Add 200g of cherry tomatoes to a large measuring jug, along with 20g of basil, 1 peeled clove of garlic, 2 tbsp of oil, and a generous pinch of salt. 6. Blitz with a hand blender, until smooth - we will use this to cook the couscous in the next steps. 7. Once the tofu and aubergine are ready. Add 150g of couscous to the tray along with the cherry tomato broth. Give everything a quick stir and spread into 1 even layer. 8. Cover the tray tightly with tin foil. 9. Return to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the grains of couscous are soft and have absorbed all the liquid. Get on with the rest of the dish in the next steps while you wait. 10. Slice 50g of pitted olives crossways. Crack on with a bit of washing up while you wait for the couscous. 11. Once the couscous is ready, uncover the tray, and fluff the grains with a fork. Top with the olives, 2 tbsp of capers, and serve. Creamy roast squash gnocchi traybake If you can’t get your hands on mascarpone, try making this recipe with cream cheese instead. Serves: 2 Ingredients: 1 butternut squash (small) 3 tbsp olive oil 150g mascarpone 1 lemon 500g pre-cooked gnocchi 200g fresh spinach 50g hard Italian cheese 10g fresh basil Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 220C - this will be for the squash in the next steps. 2. Peel 1 small squash, cut it in half lengthways, scoop the seeds from the centre, then cut the flesh into bite-sized chunks. 3. Toss the chunks with 3 tbsp of oil and a generous pinch of salt in a large roasting tray. Spread everything out into 1 even layer in the tray. 4. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until completely soft and golden in places. Crack on with a bit of washing up while you wait. 5. Once the squash is ready, add 150g of mascarpone to the tray. Finely grate over the zest from 1 lemon, squeeze in its juice, then mash everything together with a potato masher until semi-smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 6. Add 500g of gnocchi to the tray along with 200g of spinach. Give everything a good mix, then spread out into 1 even layer. 7. Finely grate over 50g of cheese. 8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden, bubbling, and piping hot. Get on with the rest of the washing up while you wait. 9. Mix, top with leaves from 10g of basil, and serve straight from the tray!
