You might be forgiven for thinking that a strong pelvic floor is only something women need to focus on after having a baby, but in fact it is equally important for men to keep the muscles strong - especially in later years. A strong pelvic floor can help to control bladder and bowel functions, as well as playing an important role in sexual function, by preventing and treating pelvic pain and lack of sensation.

High blood pressure can be deadly: if left unchecked and untreated over time, it could lead to a stroke, kidney damage, loss of vision and damage to the heart, amongst other things. One of the difficulties of high blood pressure is that most of the time, it is symptomless. The Omron Evolv is a portable personal blood pressure monitor that allows you to get an accurate reading without the use of tubes or wires. It has a compact design and comes with a handy carry case, making it super portable.

As someone whose hair is naturally poker straight, anything that promises to give it some volume and curls is always of interest to me. This thick 32mm iron aims to create large, bouncy and long-lasting curls. This iron has a clipless design that provides a consistent, even heat without causing dents or crimps in the hair or snagging inside the mechanism. It also reduces heat at the end of the iron to protect the hair’s most delicate area, the tips, from heat damage.

Picture the scene: my fiancé is brushing his teeth in the bathroom, minding his own business. When he bends over to spit the toothpaste into the sink and stands up straight, he sees the reflection of a white masked face standing behind him holding a rolling pin. Understandably, he jumps out of his skin and yells at me whilst showering me in toothpaste, saying he thought that Michael Myers had come to bash his head in (how was I to know he watched Halloween the night before?)

The Personal Microderm is a skincare tool that can be used at home and claims to provide the same results as a professional, in-office microdermabrasion treatment. With easy-to-use weekly treatments, this device aims to reveal smoother, brighter and younger looking skin. It works by using patented spinning disc technology combined with calibrated vacuum suction to leave skin looking fresh and rejuvenated, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes and enlarged pores.

Whether you love it or hate it, big lips are on trend now. It is difficult to tell the difference between the Geordie Shore cast and ducks in my local park, although the fighting, sex and swearing is a bit of a giveaway (those ducks are filthy). Naturally, a whole heap of products and procedures have followed suit to provide you with plumped up, kissable lips; sadly, some of these involve painful and expensive lip injections, but thankfully there is a natural and cheaper why to give you lips some extra volume.

You may associate acne as a problem with teenage skin but adult acne can crop up at any time (normally just before your best friend’s wedding or a job interview)! It can be caused by stress, diet medications, your skin care/beauty routine, a hormonal imbalance or simply genetics. The Foreo Espada aims to fight acne by using the dual power of laser-focused blue LED light and T-Sonic pulsations to target and reduce the appearance of blemishes.

One of the sad facts of growing older, on top of your skin sagging, joints creaking and taking 3 days to get over a night out, your hair becomes thinner revealing more face and head than your ever knew you had. Your forehead becomes a fivehead, sixhead, sevenhead, then eventually you look like an egg. The LaserBand 82 Bundle is a light treatment system that aims to tackle hair loss and thinning hair.

The FreeStyle Libre is a painless scan, that displays your current glucose reading and offers a range of reports that allows you to analyse your data and help you understand how best to manage your health.

Do you remember in the not-so-distant past when every man seemed to go a primal and grew beards in varying degrees of patchiness and ginger? As quickly as this fad came along, it began to wane, and the bottles of hipster-branded beard oil were soon replaced by equally hipster-branded cut throat razors and shaving brushes.
