Foreo has launched a new LED panel designed to make light therapy part of your daily wellness routine, with features aimed at supporting skin radiance, mood and sleep as the seasons change.

Unlike traditional light therapy panels, Foreo's UFO Advanced LED Lighthouse Panel uses Fresnel lenses to focus light from up to two metres away, so you can use it whilst working, reading or relaxing. It builds on the standard model with two additional near-infrared wavelengths, more LEDs, higher irradiance and sunrise and sunset lighting modes.

Priced at £269, the panel is available from Foreo's online store and retailers including Currys, LOOKFANTASTIC and Amazon.

The UFO Advanced LED Lighthouse Panel features two light settings designed to fit around your daily routine. Wake-Up Mode mimics a gentle sunrise, using changing light wavelengths to help suppress melatonin and promote morning alertness. On the other hand, Sleep Mode projects warm, sunset-inspired light to encourage relaxation before bed.

Like many of the best LED face masks, its five LED wavelengths target different skin concerns, from deep near-infrared light for signs of ageing and near-infrared for cellular repair. There's also red light for fine lines, amber for redness and blue for blemishes, including acne.

For best results, Foreo recommends pairing the panel with its new UFO Dual-Mode LED Serum, a ceramide-powered formula designed to maximise light absorption whilst helping to strengthen the skin barrier.

If you've been eyeing up the Dyson Airwrap but can't justify spending hundreds on a hair styler, Aldi has a much cheaper alternative arriving in stores tomorrow. The Ambiano Styling Barrel costs just £17.99 and comes with three attachments – a smooth brush, volumising brush and diffuser.

We've seen Aldi take on Dyson in other areas recently too, including with its Ambiano bladeless fan heater, which offers an alternative to the Dyson Hot+Cool HF1. The Styling Barrel also arrives ahead of Christmas, making it one to consider if you're looking for a gift for someone who enjoys styling their hair.

The Ambiano Styling Barrel also comes in Black, Berry or Champagne. It'll be available in Aldi stores from tomorrow, Sunday 25th October.

In terms of specs, it has a power output of 1,000-1,200W, compared with the Dyson Airwrap i.d.'s 1,300W. It also has two heat settings, two speed settings and a cool-shot function to help set your style.

Of course, the two aren't directly comparable, and I'd be cautious about expecting Dyson-level results from a £17.99 tool. However, if you want a multi-attachment styler without spending hundreds, Aldi's latest offering could be a great option.

The best LED face masks are evolving quickly, and we're seeing more models that do more than just treat your face. Philips is one of the latest brands to get in on the action, launching the Philips ReAura LED Face Mask in August as its first-ever LED face mask.

What makes the ReAura stand out is its flexible 3-in-1 design, which lets you treat your full face, eye area or neck separately. I've tested all three treatment areas over the full recommended eight-week period, and here's how I got on.

Price and availability

The Philips ReAura LED Face Mask has an RRP of £349.99/€399.99, although it hasn't officially launched or been priced in the US. You can currently get 15% off through Philips' website with the code LED15, bringing the price down to £297.49.

It's also available through Amazon, where a similar discount is offered.

Design and features

The Philips ReAura has a 3-in-1 design that lets you treat your full face, focus on the eye area or target your neck without needing separate devices or attachments. For a full-face treatment, the two sections connect together and are secured with the main mask strap. You can also use the upper section on its own for the eye area, whilst the lower section detaches for targeted neck treatments using the included neck strap.

Philips has also built in eye protection to block light from reaching your eyes, whilst the lightweight design makes the mask easy to wear and take away with you.

It's controlled by a separate rechargeable unit that connects to the mask during use, which charges via the included USB-C cable. This takes up to six hours to fully recharge and it provides up to eight treatment sessions per charge.

The ReAura uses three LED wavelengths – 415nm blue light, 630nm red light and 830nm near-infrared light. These are combined into three treatment modes, each designed for different skincare concerns. Age Care combines red and near-infrared light to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, whilst Blemish Care combines blue and red light to target the appearance of blemishes and redness. Daily Glow uses all three wavelengths in shorter sessions to help maintain a healthy-looking glow.

Philips recommends using the mask every other day, with Age Care and Blemish Care sessions lasting 10 minutes and Daily Glow treatments taking just five minutes. For the recommended treatment periods, Philips advises using Age Care for at least eight weeks and Blemish Care for at least four weeks, whilst Daily Glow can be continued for as long as you like.

Performance

After testing the Philips ReAura for eight weeks, the first thing I fell in love with was the design. I initially expected the 3-in-1 setup to be complicated, but its magnetic attachments make it easy to switch between configurations, which was a relief. The overall feel is premium, and although I'm not sold on the beige, orangey colour, the silicone itself feels wonderfully smooth. The mask is lightweight and comfortable to wear, and it also comes with a suede storage bag, which is great for storage and travel.

What I particularly like is that you're not limited to treating your face as a whole. You can detach the lower section and use it on your neck separately, which is useful if you want to give that area some extra attention on days when you don't use the full mask, or vice versa. It's a very clever design, and one that makes the ReAura feel a little different from the LED masks I've tried before.

Due to the mask's shape, the lower section doesn't sit completely flush against the skin. However, this isn't a bad thing as the gap helps provide more even light distribution and broader coverage – so don't worry if you notice a little space between your face and the mask!

The other thing I've really appreciated is the guided treatment system, which makes the whole experience much less intimidating, particularly if you're new to LED skincare. I also love the Daily Glow mode, which offers a shorter treatment you can use to maintain your routine after completing the initial 6-8 week courses.

During testing, I used both Age Care and Blemish Care, sticking to Philips' recommendation of treating my skin every other day. I'm approaching my 30's, meaning I still get the odd spot and blemish, but I'm also starting to notice fine lines more and more. This makes it interesting to see how the mask would perform across both concerns.

After the first couple of weeks, I noticed my skin looking a little glowier and healthier, which is usually one of the first things I notice when using LED regularly. However, when I reached the four-week mark, which Philips recommends as the minimum treatment period for Blemish Care, I was still seeing most of the blemishes I'd started with. I stuck with it though, and began noticing more of a difference at around the six-week mark.

Age Care took a little longer to show visible results. It wasn't until around week seven that I noticed some of my smile lines looking less defined, whilst the slight puckering around my jawline also appeared less noticeable. These are subtle changes rather than a dramatic transformation, but they're the sort of gradual improvements I'd expect from an LED mask. My advice would be to give it time and not get disheartened if you're not seeing the results you hoped for after four weeks or less.

The controller is perfectly straightforward to use, although the lack of a display means you'll need to remember which mode you've selected. There's also no timer showing how much treatment time you have left, which is something I've appreciated on other masks I've tested. Neither issue is a dealbreaker, but a little more feedback from the controller would make the experience even better.

One smaller detail I really appreciated was the silicone straps. Plenty of LED masks have a comfortable face covering but let themselves down with plasticky Velcro straps. The ReAura's silicone straps feel much nicer against the head and are comfortable to wear throughout a session. The neck straps are great too, as you can simply pop them on rather than having to thread them through loops, making it much easier to switch between neck and lower-face treatments.

Finally, one thing worth mentioning is that the ReAura doesn't appear to have as many LEDs as some other masks I've tested. Philips doesn't disclose the exact LED count, and it's worth remembering that the number of LEDs alone doesn't determine how effective a mask is. Irradiance – the power density reaching your skin – and the accuracy of the wavelengths are much more important factors. Still, I'd like to see Philips provide more transparency around the LED configuration, and potentially increase the number of LEDs in a future model. For now, it's something I'd like to know more about, rather than a reason to dismiss the mask outright.

Verdict

The Philips ReAura has impressed me more than I expected, particularly with how thoughtfully it's designed. After eight weeks, I noticed my skin looking healthier and glowier, with blemishes becoming less noticeable around week six and some fine lines appearing softer by week seven. There are a few things I'd change, including the basic controller and the beige-orange colour, but neither overshadowed my overall experience. It's certainly an investment, yet if you want an LED mask that can treat multiple areas without complicating your skincare routine, the ReAura is a great choice.

Alternative to consider

The overall setup of the ReAura reminded me a lot of the Shark CryoGlow, particularly its approach to guided treatments. Having the mask handle the sessions for you, rather than having to work out which light colour to use and for how long, makes the whole process much more straightforward. The ReAura and CryoGlow are similar in that respect, although Shark's newest Face + Body model offers a little more versatility in how you use it.

It's been over four years since Panasonic launched the Series 900+, better known as the Arc6, which I reviewed back in 2022 and came away impressed by thanks to its six-blade head and the super close shave it delivered. It was a bit of a beast, mind, with an enormous head that made it rather top-heavy, but it set a high bar for what a foil shaver could do, and it's remained Panasonic's flagship ever since.

Now the brand has turned its attention to a five-blade offering. Still part of the Series 900 moniker, the all-new ES-L580U model brings a bit of a refresh with an upgraded blade system, a smarter beard sensor and, finally, USB-C charging (hurrah!).

While it looks almost identical bar its dark grey casing over the original black, the new shaver is essentially a slimmed-down take on the Arc6, with two titanium-coated thick stubble blades and three redesigned finishing blades that Panasonic says are twice as efficient as its previous five-blade model. This is all powered by a linear motor the company claims is capable of 70,000 cross-cutting actions per minute. With a new six-blade flagship confirmed for later this year, the Series 900 has been positioned as the more accessible premium option in the meantime.

I’ve been using the ES-L580U, which comes with Panasonic’s self-cleaning charging station and a hard carry pouch, as my main shaver for the past few weeks to see whether five blades really are enough. Here’s what I think.

Price and availability

The Panasonic Series 900 ES-L580U is available to buy now in the UK direct from Panasonic and Amazon, priced at £429.99. There’s also an ES-L550U version that ditches the cleaning station, although rather oddly it’s listed at the same price at the time of writing, so the L580U is the obvious pick. I couldn’t find any official US or Australian pricing, but for reference, £429.99 works out at roughly $575 / AU$870 minus any import costs, of course.

That’s still a lot of money for a shaver, and it’s a price tag that puts the Series 900 up against category heavyweights like the Braun Nevo, while sitting well above compact alternatives such as the Laifen P3, which will set you back about £170 / $200 / AU$250 RRP.

It’s only a tad cheaper than the larger Arc6’s £500 RRP, though, and you’ll also need to factor in running costs, with a three-pack of Panasonic’s cleaning sachets costing around £12 / $16 and replacement blades adding to that further down the line.

Design and build

Lifting the Series 900 shaver out of its box, the first thing you’ll notice is how well put together it feels. It’s every bit as premium as its flagship sibling, with a solid build that feels like it’ll last for years. It’s almost identical in design to the Arc6, too, but at 180 x 72 x 57mm and weighing 215g, it’s a little more manageable in the hand. Plus, the head doesn’t feel quite as top-heavy as its six-blade relative, which made all the difference - especially during longer shaves.

The head is still on the larger side, though. It’s great for covering a lot of ground in one pass across the cheeks and neck, but when it comes to those tighter spots like directly under the nose, it takes a bit more effort to get the angling right. I did discover that you can lock the head in place by half-pulling the trimmer slider, which helps a lot in those areas, although it’s not something Panasonic makes obvious.

There’s a pop-up trimmer on the back, which has 45-degree blades, and is handy for tidying sideburns and works well enough for quick touch-ups, but it’s not going to give you as close of a shave as the foil shavers on the head.

The headline design change on the Series 900 is the USB-C port, and as far as I’m concerned, it’s a big deal. My biggest gripe with most shavers has always been having to rely on a two-pin bathroom shaver plug, whereas this Type-C port means I can top up the Series 900 with the same cable I use for my phone and laptop, which makes it far more travel-friendly.

As for the self-cleaning station, it does an excellent job, and is much smaller than those I’ve seen on rival shavers. And rather than using disposable cartridges like Braun, it relies on a sachet of cleaning fluid that you mix with water in a removable tray, which is cheaper and less wasteful in the long run. Although the down side here is that filling it up is a bit of a fiddle compared with simply slotting in a cartridge. There’s a clever pop-up button, however, that gives access to the tray for emptying used fluid, which is a nice touch.

Performance and features

When it comes to performance, the Series 900 made a strong first impression. Whether I was using it wet or dry, it sliced through my stubble with very little effort and felt every bit as comfortable on the skin as I remember the Arc6 being.

Much like its bigger sibling, the shave is impressively close. On my cheeks and jaw in particular, it left my skin smooth after just a few passes, and because you don’t need to push down hard to catch shorter hairs, there was very little in the way of redness or irritation afterwards.

Panasonic says this is because the redesigned finishing blades are angled diagonally to catch more hair with every stroke, and while I can’t say I noticed a dramatic difference in the number of passes compared with the Arc6, it certainly feels just as smooth f a shave despite having one less blade.

Where it stood out was how it munched its way through slightly longer stubble. After leaving facial hair to grow a couple of days, I found the shaver’s two thick stubble blades cut through the growth super easily, and the motor kept its pace well across my jawline rather than stuttering like many cheaper shavers do. It’s not flawless, mind, as it did occasionally miss the odd longer, flat-lying hair on my neck, and the further you push it beyond a few days’ growth, the more likely it is to snag. If you shave every day, though, I doubt you’ll hardly notice.

The Series 900’s Beard Sensor+ tech is worth a mention, too. Panasonic says this works by scanning your stubble up to 233 times per second, automatically ramping up the power over thicker areas as needed. While I can’t say I ever heard it working, the fact that the shaver never seemed to pull at my stubble suggests it was doing its job.

Panasonic also says the motor holds its power regardless of battery level, which must be correct since I never noticed any drop-off as it ran low. Speaking of battery life, Panasonic quotes the Series 900 as 50 minutes from an hour’s charge, which got me through over a week of almost-daily shaves.

My biggest bugbear, however, is the noise level this thing kicks out. It’s noticeably louder than most rival shavers I’ve used, with a high-pitched buzz that’s hard to ignore, so it’s probably not one to use early in the morning if you don’t live alone.

Verdict

The Panasonic Series 900 is an excellent shaver that gets surprisingly close to the performance of the six-blade Arc6, while being a little lighter, a little cheaper and, crucially, far more practical thanks to its long-overdue switch to USB-C. The shave itself is close and comfortable, it copes well with thicker stubble, and the self-cleaning station keeps everything fresh without much effort on your part.

It’s not without its niggles, though. It’s loud, the large head can be awkward around the nose and mouth, and, more importantly, at £430, it’s a serious investment, especially with a new six-blade flagship just around the corner.

Still, if it’s in your budget, you shave every day and want a reliable, premium foil shaver that’ll deliver a close shave for years to come, the Series 900 is a no brainer.

If you've read my Dyson Airwrap review, you'll know I'm a big fan of the hot brush attachment. It quickly became my favourite of the bunch, so when I heard Dyson was launching a dedicated hot brush styler, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

Launched in September 2026, the Airsmooth combines airflow technology with a specially designed brush head to dry, stretch, smooth and shape hair in one go. It's designed for all hair types, from straight and wavy to curly and coily, and can be used for everyday smoothing or to create a stretched-out base before moving on to another style.

You'll find all my thoughts below, but to cut to the chase, I'm very impressed.

Price and availability

The Dyson Airsmooth costs £199.99 / $249.99 and is available from Dyson's online store, as well as Boots, John Lewis, Argos and Sephora.

For now, it's exclusive to the Ceramic Pink and Rose Gold colourway, although I'd love to see more options added in the future.

Design and features

The first thing you'll notice is its distinctive teardrop-shaped brush head. The narrower tip lets you get closer to the roots, whilst the wider body works through the lengths of your hair. It's designed to create tension as you brush downwards, smoothing hair from root to tip, whilst the curved edge is great for adding volume, bends and flicks.

The Airsmooth also features Dyson's dual-bristle system, which combines two different types of bristles. First, there are the Anti-snag bristles, which have a looped structure that can collapse to release strands more easily. Then there are the PivotFlex bristles, which sit on an open base and flex by up to 90 degrees. They're designed to direct airflow whilst allowing hair to wrap around and release smoothly, creating enough tension to stretch curls and coils without pulling hair into tangles.

Dyson has also built in intelligent heat control, which monitors the air temperature more than 20 times per second to help prevent excessive heat exposure. There are three heat settings – 85°C, 100°C and 113°C – alongside three speed settings.

Despite its fairly substantial brush head, the Airsmooth weighs around 580g, with the motor positioned in the handle to help balance the tool and make it easier to manoeuvre. It also has a 2-metre power cable, universal voltage and bristle protector, making it suitable for use when travelling.

Performance

The Dyson Airsmooth already had an advantage in my eyes because, as I've mentioned, I'm a big fan of the hot-brush blowout look. However, the results, design and overall styling experience have all impressed me, and I've had a brilliant time testing it.

I've mostly been using the Airsmooth on hair I've let air dry, rather than styling it straight from wet. I've found this gives me a smoother finish in a fraction of the time, although the wet-to-dry approach works well too if you're happy to spend a little longer on it. Either way, I haven't really needed to go back in with another tool afterwards, and a little hair oil to finish is usually all I needed.

The teardrop-shaped head is brilliant for creating a smooth style, and combined with the clever bristle design, it gives you plenty of flexibility to style your hair exactly how you like. I've discovered that my favourite technique is to wrap my hair around the brush, give it a little twist, then pull it down through the lengths, which created a lovely flick at the ends that lasted. Of course, using the right prep products helps, and the Dyson Chitosan range is my favourite, but I love how much versatility the Airsmooth offers.

I also love how lightweight it is, which makes it easy to use and tackle different angles around your head. The long power cable, universal voltage, compact plug and included bristle protector also make it great for travelling, especially if you need to keep your suitcase on the lighter side. I haven't taken it away with me in the testing process, but I guarantee it will be one of my favourites going forwards.

The only real downside I've found is that I needed to keep on top of removing loose hair from the brush to maintain the best results. This isn't unusual for a hot brush, and it'll depend on your hair type and how much hair comes loose during styling, but I'd recommend giving it a regular clean to keep it performing at its best.

Verdict

I've always loved the bouncy look you can get from a hot brush, so the Dyson Airsmooth was right up my street from the start. Thankfully, it hasn't disappointed. The teardrop-shaped head makes it easy to smooth hair and get close to the roots, whilst the bristle design gives you enough control to experiment with different finishes. It's lightweight, comfortable to use and great for travelling, too. You'll need to keep the brush clean and use the right prep products to get the best out of it, but it's an overall excellent hair tool that deserves all the praise.

Alternatives to consider

If you like the sound of the Airsmooth but want something more versatile, the Dyson Co-anda 2x Airwrap is great. Alongside its multiple attachments, it includes the Co-anda 2x Multi-Styler Large Round Volumising Brush, which uses specialised bristles to maintain tension for a smoother finish.

Another hot brush I absolutely love is the Shark Glossi, which is a great choice if you're after a salon blow-dry without the complexity of a full multi-styler. It also has a similar teardrop-shaped head, allowing you to get much closer to the roots than you would with a traditional round brush.

Amongst the sea of fragrance notes, oud is a consistent note that you hear about a lot, especially with men’s colognes. Derived from Aquilaria trees, oud is extremely intense, and its scent of wood, leather and earth allows it to act as a powerful base for many popular and luxury fragrances.

An oud-focused fragrance that recently came across my desk is Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait. Originally launched in 2023, it was re-released in 2026 as an Extrait de Parfum edition, expanding the brand’s oud collection.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait is described as a unisex fruity, woody fragrance. Inspired by the texture of soft velvet, it has top notes of saffron and heart notes of peach accord and jasmine. At the base is oud – the fragrance’s namesake – and leather accord, which gives it a rich woody, fruity balance.

Hearing these notes, I was intrigued by Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait, as it sounded quite intense. I was also surprised to hear that it’s classed as unisex. It definitely leans towards the masculine, and I found it far too powerful for me, so I tasked my husband with wearing it for a few days to see how he found it.

The first spray of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait is extremely woody. The oud gives it an incense, almost syrup-like smell, which is brought out by the sweetness of the peach which you can subtly smell beneath the wood. The main notes I smell are leather and oud which makes it quite rich and bold.

The major thing I noticed while I – and my husband – tried Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait was how extreme it is. It’s a very powerful fragrance, and it lasts for hours on the skin and on clothes. I personally wouldn’t wear it to the office or everyday, as it’s quite a distracting, and full-on fragrance, but it’s best for nights out.

My biggest recommendation with Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait is to let it settle. The first spray almost knocks your head off, and it smells a bit chemical initially. It also lingers a lot, so if you’re someone who doesn’t like smelling too strong, I wouldn’t spray it directly on the body, but rather, spray it in the air and walk through it – or spray it lightly on your clothes.

The bottle of the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait is surprisingly small but still attractive. I like the combination of the gold and black colours – although on website listings, it looks more blue than black. It’s quite expensive with prices starting at £235, but it’s from a luxury brand so that’s somewhat expected.

I found trying Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Velvet Mood Extrait to be an interesting experience. It’s not something I’d wear as it’s too masculine for me, but it’s a bold option for date nights and late evenings.

Over the past few years, there have been lots of prominent fragrance notes, from sweet vanilla to woody cedar. But for 2026, the most popular note to emerge in both men’s colognes and women’s perfumes is cherry.

Cherries might only be in season for a couple months of year, but cherry is an extremely complex scent. Red cherry is typically sweeter, and best suited for spring and summer, while black cherry is darker, and better for wear during autumn and winter.

This makes cherry an all-year-round kind of scent, and it caters to all genders. What’s better is as it comes with the gourmand fragrance family, cherry fragrances often smell good enough to eat.

To celebrate the most popular note from 2026, here are seven cherry fragrances you should add to your collection, featuring the likes of Tom Ford, Armani, Dior, Guerlain and more.

CHERRY FRAGRANCES FOR 2026

Therabody has expanded its skincare lineup with a new SkinSpa system, offering three versions to suit different routines and skin concerns.

The SkinSpa ThermLED (£179) combines yellow, red, red + infrared and blue light therapies with heat and vibration, designed to boost circulation and help the skin absorb skincare products. Moving up the range, the SkinSpa CryoCurrent (£249) pairs microcurrent with cold therapy to deliver visible lifting and contouring after one use. At the top of the lineup, the SkinSpa Pro (£349) combines both technologies into one device.

All three devices are available now through Therabody's online store and selected retailers, including Harrods, Selfridges, Space NK and John Lewis.

The launch also brings the Neck & Chest LED (£349), which extends Therabody's VibraWave technology and optional heat treatment to the neck. It joins the brand's existing skincare devices, including the TheraFace Depuffing Wand and TheraFace Mask Glo, both of which we've reviewed at T3.

We're currently testing the SkinSpa Pro, so look out for our verdict soon.

CurrentBody has launched its third-generation LED face mask, designed for anyone looking to tackle several skin concerns with one device. It joins the Series 1 and Series 2, both of which have become popular options in the best LED face mask market.

The biggest difference is that Series 1 focuses on red light therapy, whilst Series 2 adds a third wavelength and an improved fit. Series 3 takes things a step further, featuring 750 LEDs and six different wavelengths into one mask, with the added bonus of being able to customise treatments through an app.

Priced at £499.99 or $569.99, the Series 3 is available to buy from CurrentBody's website now.

The mask includes all three wavelengths found in Series 2, plus blue (415nm), green (532nm) and yellow (590nm) light. These additional wavelengths are designed to target the appearance of blemishes, uneven skin tone and redness.

The big new feature is MyDose technology, which you can access through the accompanying app. This lets you choose which wavelengths individual LEDs use, with the mask calculating the treatment dose for you. If you'd rather not adjust the settings yourself, there are also four clinician-approved preset modes to choose from.

Series 3 is also part of a wider range of personalised LED devices, including a matching neck and décolletage mask. CurrentBody also offers a face-and-neck kit for £854.99/$971.99, giving users the option to extend their LED routine beyond their face.

I think the entire world did a double take when Dyson announced its first-ever electric toothbrush last month. The brand has built its reputation on hair tools and air products, so a toothbrush with a built-in camera and liquid-flossing system was certainly an unexpected move. That said, Dyson knows how to get people talking, and despite the price tag, I was curious enough to try it for myself.

I've actually held off publishing this review for a while, partly because of the issues people have been reporting online. I've had no functional problems with my own CameraJet after a month of use, but Bloomberg has reported that Dyson is preparing a new batch. So, whilst my experience has been trouble-free, it's worth keeping that wider picture in mind.

Here's what it's like to live with the CameraJet, and whether I'd spend this much on a toothbrush again.

Price and availability

One of the biggest talking points is, naturally, the price. The Dyson CameraJet costs £419.99 in the UK or $499.99 in the US, but you do get a fair bit in the box, including two brush heads, a 400ml bottle of low-foaming mouthrinse and low-foaming toothpaste. The two brush heads alone would otherwise cost £25 or $29.99.

You can buy the CameraJet directly from Dyson, although stock seems to come and go, so it's worth checking John Lewis and Currys as well. There are two finishes to choose from – Ceramic Ultra Blue and Ceramic Pink – both of which have an unmistakable Dyson look.

Unboxing and set up

The CameraJet's setup process isn't complicated, but it does take a little more effort than a typical electric toothbrush.

After unboxing and attaching one of the brush heads, I unwound the USB-C cable from the base of the charging dock, connected it to a power adapter and plugged it into a wall socket. A green LED light on the base came on, and a setup animation appeared on the toothbrush's screen. My first full charge took around three hours, so it's worth giving it some time before your first proper brush.

Whilst it was charging, I filled the integrated mouthrinse reservoir in the dock with the low-foaming mouthrinse. You simply press the small button on top, and it stops automatically once the reservoir is full. You can also fill the magnetic mouthrinse tank directly on the toothbrush, but you'll need to top it up fairly regularly.

I'll get into the app shortly, but setup and connecting the toothbrush are straightforward too, especially if you're already familiar with the MyDyson app. Just follow the on-screen prompts, and you'll be connected in no time.

Design and features

The CameraJet is essentially Dyson's attempt to combine three steps of oral care – brushing, flossing and rinsing – into one device. The headline feature is a built-in 100,000-pixel macro camera that uses AI to identify the gaps between your teeth. It's a strange thing to get used to, but it's also what sets the CameraJet apart from anything else on the market.

The camera works with Dyson's Gap Optical Targeting technology, which scans 28 images per second to identify the gaps between teeth. When it spots one, the toothbrush can fire a targeted jet of mouthrinse within 100 milliseconds. A specialised lens widens the camera's field of view, whilst LED Dome Technology is designed to disperse the liquid without blocking the camera's view.

The CameraJet's built-in 12.5ml mouthrinse tank has an anti-gravity design, meaning it uses an expanding diaphragm rather than a straw to keep the liquid flowing. That means it can still deliver mouthrinse whether you're holding the brush upright, tilting it or awkwardly reaching around your back teeth.

The tank is designed to hold enough mouthrinse for a cleaning session, but we'll get into this more shortly.

That liquid-flossing system is the other big difference. Rather than firing a needle-like stream like some water flossers, the CameraJet uses a wider, conical jet. Dyson says this is designed to sweep away more plaque in one burst, whilst using lower pressure to be gentler on gums and enamel.

The brush head itself has two types of bristles, shaped to follow the contours of your teeth. The firmer inner bristles are designed to lift surface stains, whilst softer outer bristles clean along the gumline. There's also a silicone-backed sonic dampener, which is intended to make brushing feel gentler and reduce noise.

Each brush head has an RFID tag, so the toothbrush can recognise it, keep track of how many cleaning sessions it's completed and tell you when it's time for a replacement. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, there's a separate sensitive brush head available, and you can also choose between three brushing intensities – Gentle, Variable and Deep Clean.

The CameraJet also has an automatic mode that jets mouthrinse as you brush, or a manual mode for when you'd rather control the jet yourself. Onboard sensors provide feedback as you go, letting you know when to move to another part of your mouth or adjust your technique.

App

As mentioned, the CameraJet connects to the MyDyson app, so there’s no need to download a separate app just for your toothbrush. You can view a live feed of the inside of your mouth on your phone, whilst the app offers guided cleaning, how-to videos, brushing and flossing insights, coverage maps and personalised feedback showing where you’ve cleaned well and where you’ve missed spots.

Dyson says the camera only activates during live viewing or automatic jetting, and that images aren’t recorded or stored on the toothbrush or in the cloud. You can also opt out of personalised oral care insights if you’d rather keep things private there too.

I was disappointed that you can’t use live viewing and guided cleaning at the same time. Once you learn what the different vibrations mean, it’s easier to follow the toothbrush’s feedback, but having to choose between the camera and guided mode feels like an unnecessary compromise. On the live view, the lens does get blocked every now and then, but this is easily amended by shifting the toothrbush around.

Otherwise, the app works really well, and I particularly liked being able to check the battery status so I knew when the toothbrush was fully charged.

Performance

The CameraJet is one of the most controversial products I've reviewed in a while, but its cleaning performance is where Dyson really gets things right. My teeth have felt noticeably cleaner since I started using it, and the combination of brushing, flossing and real-time feedback delivers a thorough clean whilst helping you improve your technique. For me, this is easily its biggest strength.

That said, there are some fairly significant design flaws that stop me from fully getting on board with it. The first is the dock – its size, the rather over-the-top attempt at a travel case, and the fact that it can't do anything without being plugged into a power outlet.

If you're like me and only have a shaver socket in your bathroom – or no plug at all – you'll need to find somewhere else to keep it, such as your bedroom, and refill the toothbrush there. I'd much prefer to be able to charge the dock and then move it into the bathroom, where it could charge the toothbrush and refill it as needed, but that's not an option. Instead, you're left either keeping the dock plugged in elsewhere in the house and returning the toothbrush to it after every use, or leaving the toothbrush in the bathroom and filling it manually when needed. The latter can be a bit messy, as the small filling hole makes spills fairly easy.

Dyson also makes a big deal of the CameraJet being travel-friendly, thanks to a large acrylic case that fits over the entire dock – but I'm not convinced. I don't know about you, but I don't want to give up that much suitcase space for a toothbrush. You could take just the toothbrush itself and some mouthrinse to refill it, but there's no cap to protect the brush head, leaving it exposed to whatever else is rattling around in your bag. That's not ideal for any toothbrush, let alone one with a built-in camera.

On the plus side, I like both the mouthrinse and toothpaste, and they taste good as well. The spearmint toothpaste is particularly nice, although be prepared for mess as its downward-facing design can cause it to collect around the lid and leak out. You can use your regular toothpaste and mouthrinse with the CameraJet, but Dyson's low-foaming formulas are designed to work best with the brush, so you'll probably get the most out of it by sticking with those.

Brushing with the CameraJet is also messier than I expected. After my first session, I quickly realised that I needed to keep my mouth fully closed whilst brushing, otherwise the mouthrinse jet could end up spraying the mirror. The toothbrush itself can also get messy, as the toothpaste and mouthrinse are more watery than conventional formulas, so liquid can run down the handle and onto your hands. You can learn to avoid some of this with practice, but it's something to be aware of, particularly if you're used to a more traditional electric toothbrush.

In a slightly strange way, the mouthrinse jet is also one of the CameraJet's most satisfying features. There's a small burst of achievement every time it hits the right spot, and over time, you'll start to learn where the gaps in your teeth are. The on-brush feedback helps with this, too, and I appreciate the quick vibrations that let me know when it's time to move on to another area.

Battery life is a strong point, with around two weeks from a full charge. The bigger issue is how often you'll need to refill it – I've realised I have more gaps between my teeth than I thought, and each session used around 8-10ml of mouthrinse. That meant topping it up fairly regularly, so I got through the supplied mouthrinse quite quickly, and replacing it could become an ongoing expense if you stick with Dyson's own formulas.

Ultimately, the CameraJet has the makings of a brilliant toothbrush. The cleaning performance is impressive, but a few practical quirks make it more fiddly to use than it should be. I've had no issues with my own unit, though the problems others have reported are hard to ignore. Dyson has some refining to do, but I'm curious to see where it takes this idea next.

Verdict

The CameraJet is a fascinating take on oral care, and after using it for a while, I can see what Dyson is trying to achieve. My teeth feel cleaner, the liquid flossing is satisfying, and the feedback gives you a better idea of how well you're brushing. Unfortunately, the practical side of things doesn't quite live up to the technology. The dock is bulky, having to keep it plugged in is a pain, and the regular refills and messy handling become tiresome over time. My own unit has worked without any issues, but the problems reported by other users are also worth bearing in mind. There's a lot of potential here, but at £420, I'd like to see Dyson iron out these everyday frustrations before I'd fully recommend it.

Alternatives to consider

There's nothing quite like the CameraJet on the market, but if you're after a high-tech toothbrush, I'd also consider the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9900. Its feedback is built into the handle, helping you see which areas need more attention and which you've already cleaned. Once you're finished, it displays a visual coverage map so you can go back over any missed spots. It can cost a similar amount to the Dyson when it's not on sale, so I'd keep an eye out for a deal.

If the CameraJet has made you question whether you need all this technology in the first place, I'd point you towards the SURI 2.0. It's a slimmer, more minimalist electric toothbrush with sonic cleaning, a pressure sensor and a useful travel case. You don't get the camera, liquid flossing or all the feedback, but you do get a really good clean.

Acqua di Parma recently expanded its Signatures of the Sun collection with its Cedro Virtuoso eau de parfum, and to say I was eager to try it was an understatement. Described as warm, creamy and woody, Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso sounds like the perfect scent to transition from summer to autumn, and it really took me by surprise.

If you’ve taken a peek at my author picture, you’ll have probably guessed that while I’m an expert in men’s fragrances, I don’t tend to test them. So, I enlisted the help of my husband, who, as a fan of Acqua di Parma, was more than happy to wear it for me

As a woody gourmand fragrance, the main notes of Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso are hazelnut, Virginia cedarwood, musk, tonka bean and Calabrian bergamot. Created by Fabrice Pellegrin, the first two ingredients are co-finished through a 30 day maceration process to achieve that rich, creamy scent.

Creaminess is definitely present in Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso, with the smooth richness of hazelnut being the main thing that you smell when you spray it or just sniff it from the bottle. The cream does translate to sweetness, and I found it to be on the far sweeter side than I expected.

The most prominent layers I could smell were hazelnut and tonka bean, although the first spray has a burst of citrus before it settles into its sweeter notes. I couldn’t really smell the woodiness of the cedar or sandalwood, but they definitely added some warmth to the fragrance.

Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso is actually a unisex scent, although my husband wore it more than I did during testing. I found it to be a bit overpowering for me with the muskier notes, while he felt the opposite and found the sweeter ones to be more intense.

Speaking of intense, Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso is one of the most long-lasting fragrances I’ve ever tried. My husband sprayed it in the morning and left for work, and I could still smell it around the house long after he was gone. When he got home late in the evening, the scent of Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso was still strong, and it lingered for days.

I’d say you can definitely use Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso sparingly, not just because it’s quite powerful, but because it sticks around for a while – you probably won’t need to buy a new bottle for months. I also found it clung to skin and clothes well, with the latter holding the scent better.

When I first heard of the notes in Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso, I thought it would be a good transition scent between summer and autumn, and I think I was right. I compared it to Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterranean – my husband’s favourite fragrance – and found Blu Mediterranean to be much fresher and zestier than Cedro Virtuoso.

However, comparing Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso to a more oud, wintery scent also felt like night and day, as its notes are much brighter. It’s still got some warmth to it though, so a summer-autumn fragrance is how I’d best describe Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso.

What I also found interesting was how different Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso smelt in fragrance form compared to candle form. I was kindly gifted an Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso candle, and while I’m unlikely to burn it because of its price and using it as a homeware piece, I found the candle to be much brighter and more citrusy than the fragrance.

In terms of looks, the Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso looks the part with its classic glass bottle design. The fragrance has a rich brown-yellow colour which also matches the autumnal season I think it’s best suited to.

With prices starting at £180 for a 50ml bottle, Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso isn’t cheap, but the brand is luxurious, and even a small bottle of it is sure to last you a while. You can buy 50ml, 100ml and 180ml sizes at John Lewis.

Braun’s electric shaver line up is extensive, spanning beard trimmers, hair clippers and all-in-one solutions that are just as happy tidying up the nether regions as they are etching sharp lines into sideburns.

The company also isn’t afraid to inhabit the very premium end of the electric shaver market, with the previously range-topping Series 9 Pro+ boasting an RRP in excess of £600. Heck, even the more basic Series 7 cost around £350 when new.

The Nevo, which is the brand’s all-new flagship, comes with a similarly painful price tag (more on that below) but crams enough technology inside to go some way to justifying it.

Automatic cleaning docks, battery-infused travel cases and a completely redesigned shaving head are just a few highlights.

If you like shaving results incredibly close and free from any irritation, the Nevo is a fantastic option to consider. After testing the model for a few weeks, using it to shave pretty much every other day, it rapidly shot to the top of the list of the best electric shavers I have tried.

Price and availbility

The Braun Nevo 1500C, to give it the full title, starts at around £740 for the basic package, while the top-tier bundle I tested has an RRP of almost £900 (?!). Thankfully, Braun appears to be discounting it heavily already, with the full package available for considerably less at the time of writing.

Head over to Boots and the package that contains the travel charging case and automatic cleaning dock can be picked up for as little as £420. That’s slightly better.

But even at the discounted price, this is very much a premium electric shaver. For context, the Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra and Panasonic ES-LS9A also occupy the high end of the market but can now be picked up for around £270.

Design and features

The Nevo makes a strong, steely first impression. The stainless, almost automotive-inspired body feels fantastic in the hand and has a reassuring weight that immediately separates it from the sea of plastic electric shavers I've tested over the years.

It’s so solid, I worried I’d potentially crack a tile if I dropped it in the bathroom. But despite the heft, it’s also beautifully made. Every surface feels carefully considered, although the metallic finish does have a habit of collecting fingerprints and watermarks if you don’t dry it properly.

The real star of the show is the new AeroTouch shaving head, which Braun says is a “world first”, as it moves far more freely than most rival designs.

Rather than simply tilting from up and down, it pivots across multiple axes to keep the five cutting elements in contact with the contours of your face.

In another automotive comparison, it's as if the head has Rolls-Royce style self-levelling suspension, ensuring the entirety of the shaving head is in contact with the face, as opposed to wheels on the ground.

Braun says there are 250 diamond-sharp cutting edges inside said head, while a processor constantly adjusts the motor to tackle various beard densities.

You don't need to fiddle with anything yourself, it will automatically up the ante when it needs to plough through thicker fuzz.

There's also a bright colour display showing battery level, cleaning reminders and maintenance information. It's clear and useful, although you don’t get the shaving advice wizardry that you get with the Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra, which uses a light ring to warn of excess pressure or incorrect movements.

That said, I found the accompanying smartphone app that came with Philips’s model overkill anyway. Surely most people know how to shave without cutting their face to ribbons by now?

Anyway, the other big addition from Braun is the 7-in-1 Care Centre. Click in the provided pot of antibacterial cleaner, drop the shaver in after use and it cleans, lubricates, dries and charges it automatically.

Then there's the Power Travel case. It's a substantial bit of kit, but it also acts as a portable battery, giving you weeks of extra shaving without needing to find a socket.

My biggest gripe is that both charging accessories use Braun's traditional two-pin bathroom plug. That's increasingly awkward in a world where USB-C is becoming standard across almost every other piece of personal tech and I had to buy an adaptor to charge it from a bedroom socket.

Performance

I've tested a lot of premium electric shavers recently, and the Nevo is comfortably one of the best I've used. The shaving head glides over the skin with almost no resistance, while the flexible design does a brilliant job of following the contours of the face.

I deliberately left several days of growth before my first shave to see whether it would struggle with longer hairs. It didn't.

There was virtually no snagging or pulling, and the Nevo simply worked its way through the patchy beard without the uncomfortable tugging I've experienced from cheaper foil shavers.

Better still, it is remarkably quick. Areas that normally require several passes were dealt with in a single sweep, and I found that a typical morning shave took roughly half the time it normally does.

It's also impressively comfortable. I experienced no irritation during my testing, even when tackling tricky areas, such as the neck and jawline. And that's coming from someone that doesn't often go for a close shave.

The pop-up precision trimmer is another useful addition. It slides out from the back of the shaver and is perfectly positioned for tidying sideburns, sharpening beard lines and even dealing with those random ear hairs that seem to appear from nowhere as you get older.

You can also lock the AeroTouch shaving head in place if you’re struggling to find the right angle to tackle a particularly difficult area.

As with most premium foil shavers, though, the Nevo is very much an all-or-nothing affair. It will give you an exceptionally close shave, as in baby’s bum smooth, but there's no way to leave a fashionable layer of stubble behind.

If that's your preference, you'll need a separate beard trimmer or a shaver with several guards to adjust cutting lengths.

It’s also quote noisy when in use, with that powerful electric motor letting out a distinctive, high-pitched whine.

Battery life

Braun claims up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving, while a five-minute quick charge is enough for one 15-minute shave.

In my testing, I fully charged the Nevo and then ran the battery flat, managing 52 minutes on the first full discharge and 54 minutes on the second. That's a little short of the official figure, but still plenty for several days of normal shaving.

The Power Travel case changes the equation completely. Once charged, it stores enough energy to keep the Nevo running for weeks, so you can leave the charging cable at home on your holidays.

Just be aware that the protective case is big, heavy and includes a battery, so check with an airline where it will have to sit in your luggage line-up.

If travelling light is your priority, something like the compact Laifen P3 Pro or the gorgeous Panasonic Series 9000s Palm Shaver make much more sense. If you don't mind carrying a little extra weight in exchange for not thinking about battery life, the Braun setup is much more appealing.

Cleaning and maintenance

There's something wonderfully lazy about dropping the shaver into its dock, pressing a button and letting it do all the unpleasant work. It cleans away the hair without throwing it all over the sink, lubricates the cutting head, dries everything out and charges the shaver ready for the next morning.

It takes around 10-15 minutes to complete the process, and the cleaning cycle is noticeably noisy, but the convenience more than makes up for it.

You'll need to replace the cleaning cartridges, though. Braun recommends changing them roughly every two months, depending on how frequently you shave, with prices starting at around £7.50 per cartridge. Although Amazon will likely stock third party cartridges that fit for cheap.

Braun also recommends replacing the main shaving head every 18 months. The replacement costs around £80, which is a significant expense when some complete electric shavers cost less than that, but it sends less to landfill.

Verdict

The Braun Nevo is a difficult shaver to criticise because the thing it is primarily designed to do is something it does exceptionally well.

It's incredibly quick, very comfortable and leaves one of the closest finishes I've experienced from an electric shaver. The stainless-steel construction feels suitably premium, while the Care Centre and Power Travel case genuinely make everyday ownership easier.

There are some minor gripes. The lack of USB-C charging is particularly frustrating and the travel case is bulky. But the upside is that it prolongs battery life by weeks when you’re not near a plug socket.

Then there's the price. At its official RRP, the full package is difficult to justify for anyone who doesn't really care about having one of the best possible electric shaves with all of the technological bells and whistles.

But discounts make a huge difference, and if you find the full package for around £480 rather than its £900 RRP, it makes slightly more sense.

For anyone who shaves every day and wants the closest, quickest and most effortless electric shave possible, the Nevo is very difficult to beat.

Alternatives to consider

If you want a similarly premium experience without spending quite as much, the Philips i9000 Prestige Ultra is worth considering. It offers an exceptionally close shave and a clever cleaning system, although I found the Braun quicker and more comfortable overall.

For something considerably cheaper and much easier to travel with, the Laifen P3 Pro is the obvious alternative. It's tiny, stylish and offers impressive battery life, although it doesn't match the Braun when it comes to dealing with longer facial hair or tricky areas.

It still feels a bit too early to be talking about Christmas, but there’s nothing wrong with getting an early start on your gift shopping. One of the most popular Christmas presents has to be fragrances, whether you’re replenishing their favourite men’s fragrance or treating them to a new women’s perfume.

If you need some Christmas gift inspiration, experts at The Perfume Shop have predicted the top 10 fragrances that will be on everyone’s wishlist this year. From classics from Chanel, Dior and Gucci to newer releases from Prada, Hugo Boss and Carolina Herrera, here’s what scents to shop – or what to ask for – this Christmas.

For Her

For Him

I've tested plenty of the best electric toothbrushes over the years, but the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9900 Prestige takes things further than most. With smart sensors, an interactive display and real-time coverage feedback, there's no denying it's more advanced than your average model.

That said, I was also keen to find out whether all those extra features actually make a difference to the everyday brushing experience, or whether you're simply paying for technology you don't really need. After using it for a few weeks, here's how I got on.

Price and availability

The 9900 Prestige is priced at £599.99 (around $800) and is available from selected retailers and dental practices.

That said, as is often the case with Philips, I've already seen it discounted significantly. For example, Boots is currently listing it at £289.99, so it's worth shopping around before you buy.

It's available in Quartz Black, Silver White and Storm Blue, which is the colour I've been testing.

Design and features

At the core of the 9900 Prestige is the brand's SenseIQ Adaptive Intensity technology, which senses your individual brushing style and automatically adjusts the pressure and motion to provide a more personalised clean. Alongside this, Philips has introduced its Next-Generation Sonicare Technology, which automatically adjusts the motor power to maintain performance and delivers up to 62,000 bristle movements per minute.

You also get a range of cleaning modes and three intensity levels, including Clean for everyday brushing, Deep Clean for a more intensive clean, White for helping remove surface stains, Gum Health for focusing on the gumline and Sensitive for a gentler clean.

The biggest change compared with its predecessors is the addition of an interactive display on the handle, which gives you a visual guide to your brushing. It works alongside Philips' new Smart Coverage Feedback system, so as you brush, the handle's light ring tracks where you've been and uses different colours to guide you around your mouth. Yellow indicates an area that still needs attention, whilst blue shows that an area has been cleaned.

Once you've finished brushing, the display shows a visual coverage map, so you can see exactly which areas you've missed and go back over them. There's also real-time pressure feedback, with the ring glowing green when you're applying the right amount of pressure and alerting you when you're pressing too hard.

The smart features extend to the Sonicare app, which gives you personalised guidance and lets you keep track of your brushing routine. However, the 9900 Prestige's interactive display means you don't have to rely on this to understand how well you've brushed, making the new model feel less dependent on an app than some other smart toothbrushes.

The overall package is completed by a Premium All-in-One brush head, which comes with a replacement reminder that tells you when it's time to swap it for a new one.

You also get the rather premium-looking glass charging setup and a Prestige charging travel case. At home, you simply place the toothbrush in the glass, which sits on the charging base, whilst the travel case doubles as a charger when you're away.

Performance

After using the 9900 Prestige for a few weeks, the feature I noticed most was the feedback built directly into the handle. I'm firmly in the camp of people who don't tend to use Bluetooth toothbrush apps, so I like being able to see which areas I've covered and where I need to spend a little more time without using my phone.

Once the brushing cycle is finished, the handle shows a more detailed visual mouth map, and I particularly like how immediate this feedback is. The app goes further if you want more detailed information, but I like how the handle gives you enough information to make a noticeable difference to the everyday experience.

In the example below, I could see that I'd done a good job brushing the front of my teeth, but hadn't paid quite as much attention to the inside. It meant that the next time I brushed, I already knew where to focus.

The actual brushing experience is very much what I'd expect from a high-end Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush. It feels powerful and thorough, and my teeth felt very clean after each use. After trying the different settings, I found myself coming back to Clean mode at medium intensity most often, which felt like the right balance for me.

That said, I liked having plenty of options to choose from, particularly if I wanted to change things up depending on how my teeth and gums were feeling. The three intensity levels are also easy to adjust, and you can swipe through the modes on the touchscreen before selecting your choice with the secondary button.

For the price, I did expect the toothbrush to come with another brush head, but it's not a deal-breaker.

The glass cup charger is another interesting addition, and I like that it can sit at any angle rather than having to be positioned upright. Unfortunately, I don't actually charge my toothbrush in the bathroom, so it's not something I've found particularly useful in my own routine. That said, I can see the appeal if you do keep your toothbrush there and want it to have a dedicated charging spot, and the fact the cup can be lifted off the base and used for rinsing is a nice touch as well.

I do, however, really like the travel case. It's slim and feels premium, and the fact it charges means you don't have to find another way to power the toothbrush whilst you're away.

Verdict

The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9900 Prestige has surprised me with how useful its smart features actually are. The brushing itself is excellent, but it's the feedback built into the handle that really sets it apart. Being able to see where I've brushed, where I've missed and when to move on, all without reaching for my phone, makes a bigger difference than I expected. It isn't cheap, and whilst the glass charger is a clever idea, it didn't really suit my routine. However, after a few weeks of testing, I've become a big fan of having a toothbrush that tells me how I'm brushing – and I'm not sure I want to go back to one that doesn't.

Alternatives to consider

Philips is one of our favourite toothbrush brands at T3, so I'd also recommend the Philips Sonicare 7100 as a cheaper alternative. It still offers four brushing modes, three intensity levels, a visible pressure sensor and app connectivity, but it doesn't have the 9900's interactive display and Smart Coverage Feedback.

The SURI 2.0 is another option if you're after something a little less tech-heavy. It's a slimmer, more minimalist electric toothbrush that still offers sonic cleaning, a pressure sensor and a useful travel case, whilst its replaceable-head approach is designed to reduce waste.

Despite the best Advent calendars popping up everywhere at the moment, one brand has released its own version that has completely taken me by surprise – and it's none other than Dyson.

The 12-day Dyson Beauty Advent Calendar has appeared on the brand's German website. Each drawer contains Dyson hair-care products and premium accessories, with the final drawer containing the Dyson Supersonic Travel. I'm not sure I've ever seen an Advent calendar include an actual hair dryer before, so this is definitely one way to stand out.

It's priced at €399 on Dyson's German website, but unfortunately it hasn't launched in the UK or US. We'll keep an eye out for a wider launch, but for now, don't hold your breath.

Dyson says the calendar has a total value of €551, with the Supersonic Travel alone worth €299.99 (£249.99). The other drawers include a variety of travel-sized Dyson Chitosan and Omega hair-care formulations, along with a Dyson Paddle Brush and Hair Clips, Dyson Detangling Comb and a Supersonic & Airwrap Storage Bag.

As mentioned, we'll keep you updated if the calendar reaches further, but for now, it looks like German Dyson fans are the lucky ones.

Dolce & Gabbana has just revived its By Man and By Woman fragrances from the 1990s, and given them a modern update. As part of Dolce & Gabbana’s exclusive Re-Edition collection, By Man and By Woman are bold scents for autumn, and they come in quirky animal printed bottles.

The original By Man and By Woman fragrances were first launched in 1997. Now 29 years later, the popular men’s fragrance and women’s perfume are making a comeback to the modern audience, following their discontinuation in 2007.

Not much has changed about the actual contents of By Man or By Woman, as the Re-Edition collection is focused on preserving Dolce & Gabbana’s iconic scents. So, if you like vintage fragrances or you want to smell like 1997, By Man and By Woman will be right up your street.

Starting with By Man, the men’s fragrance was originally created by Alberto Morillas, and comes from the amber spice family. Top notes include nutmeg and black pepper while the heart is rich in herbals and aromats, including lavender and artemisia.

At the base is amber and Guaiac wood which gives the masculine scent a smoky and warm feel, making the updated By Man a great fit for autumn 2026.

By Woman was first created by Domitille Michalon, and features notes of florals and woods. It has layers of bergamot, freesia, tiger lily and jasmine. To balance these sweet, fragrant notes, the base of By Woman has a rich smell of coffee and sandalwood.

My favourite thing about the relaunched By Man and By Woman is that they come in their original bottle designs from 1997. By Man is displayed in zebra print with a black textile label with silver embroidery, while By Woman is bold in leopard print and with gold embroidered detailing.

The By Man and By Woman fragrances by Dolce & Gabbana are available to buy at Harrods for £280 in a 100ml size.

Is it too early to talk about Christmas?! While you might not be thinking about the festive season for quite some time yet, many manufacturers have already started to release their latest Christmas gifts, advent calendars and festive upgrades – and Dyson is no exception.

As the brand is known to do every year, Dyson has just announced its new festive colourway for its hair styling tools, including its iconic Airwrap hair styler and dryer. The new colour is called Plum and Copper, and it’s inspired by the Kyawthuite gemstone that’s known for its mesmerising colour that reflects and subtly changes in different lights.

As the name suggests, Plum and Copper is a warming mixture of metallic tones. This includes red plum, peach copper and ash ginger which gives Dyson’s line-up of hair stylers a beautiful rich colour that perfectly complements the shades and tones of the festive season.

When asked to describe the new Plum and Copper colour, Alice Chen, Dyson’s CMF Designer said the “soft red hues echo the mineral's core, deep burgundy traces reflect its natural grooves, and a luminous copper captures its radiant depth. This special edition range is a statement piece that truly celebrates Dyson's luxury craftmanship.”

The hair stylers that now come in Dyson’s Plum and Copper colour are the Airwrap Co-anda, the Airwrap i.d., the Airstrait and the Supersonic Nural. Aside from the new colour, the hair stylers remain the same in terms of features, design and functionality.

For its Airwrap attachments, Dyson has paired the Plum and Copper colourway with a new deep plum shade. The body of the Airwrap has that Plum and Copper festive shade, while the accessories, like the curling barrels, have a darker, richer plum tone.

The new Plum and Copper colourway is available to buy now in Dyson stores and on the Dyson website. As far as I can tell, pricing is the same across all colours, including the 2026 festive colourway.

September is always an eventful month, full of product launches and big-name brand events. While tech and home tend to be the centre of attention during this time, the latest September men’s fragrance launches have also been abundant this year, so if you’re looking for a new scent, now is the perfect time.

Following an unusually hot summer, the latest September fragrances are good transitional scents, taking you from the warmer months to the colder ones. If you’re trying to hold onto summer a bit longer, there’s a great selection for you, and if you’re excited for the darker, chilled evenings, there’s something for that, too.

Below, I’ve rounded up the best nine men’s fragrance launches from September 2026, from the likes of Acqua di Parma, Rabanne, Hugo Boss, Penhaligon’s, Valentino and more.

Men’s fragrances from September 2026

Panasonic has added three new beauty tools to its lineup, including two body shavers and a heated eyelash curler. They're designed to make beauty routines quicker and easier, particularly for those short on time.

The two shavers are the ES-EWL81 and ES-EWL61 Wet & Dry Electric Body Shavers, which are designed to provide a close shave whilst being gentle on sensitive skin. There's also the EH-SE51 Heated Eyelash Curler, which takes a high-tech approach to creating lifted and defined lashes.

All three are available via Panasonic's online store now, with the ES-EWL81 priced at £104.99, the ES-EWL61 at £89.99 and the EH-SE51 at £29.99. US pricing and availability is yet to be announced.

The main difference between the two shavers comes down to the features and attachments. The premium ES-EWL81 has four blades, a floating head and an additional bikini attachment, whilst the ES-EWL61 uses three blades. Both also have floating blade systems designed to follow the contours of the body more closely.

There's a pop-up trimmer for more precise grooming, whilst the bi-directional trimmer blades mean you can shave back and forth comfortably. Both shavers are fully waterproof, so they can be used wet or dry, and have an arched ergonomic design with one-push buttons for easier handling.

Rather than mechanically clamping the lashes like a traditional eyelash curler, the EH-SE51 uses gentle heat to catch, separate and curl lashes, aiming to create a more natural-looking lift from root to tip.

It features a double-heater system designed to distribute heat evenly, whilst a temperature-ready indicator tells you when it's ready to use. As well as being small and battery operated, Panasonic says it can be used with or without mascara, so you can use it as part of your normal makeup routine or for a quick lift on its own.

Just a few weeks after launch, Dyson has removed its brand new CameraJet toothbrush from sale following reports of issues from some early customers.

Online, users have reported a range of problems, including misfiring jets, breakages and operating failures when the toothbrush gets wet – which is arguably the whole point of one of the best electric toothbrushes. That said, Dyson maintains that only a "small number" of units have been affected.

There's been no official explanation from Dyson for exactly why the toothbrush has been taken off sale, although the company has also attributed the lack of stock to "shortages of supply" as it scales up production.

As mentioned, the toothbrush arrived at the beginning of this month for a staggering £420/$499, but it had a welcome arrival thanks to its stylish design and unique approach to brushing. However, within days of customers receiving the first models, reports of problems started appearing online.

The Daily Mail reports that the French Dyson site and stores stopped selling the toothbrush on 11th September, followed by stores in the US, UK and Singapore on 15th September. Sales of the CameraJet now appear to have been suspended more widely, although Dyson has not publicly confirmed that this is a worldwide withdrawal.

For now, it's a case of waiting to see what happens next, and we'll update this story when we know more.

Philips has unveiled what it describes as its most advanced electric toothbrush yet, the Sonicare Next-Generation DiamondClean 9900 Prestige. Its biggest new feature is AI-powered brushing guidance built directly into the handle, giving you instant feedback on how well you’re brushing.

It arrives at an interesting time for the electric toothbrush market, with premium models becoming increasingly sophisticated, including the new Dyson CameraJet. That said, Oclean launched its new X Series just yesterday, showing that clever brushing feedback isn’t necessarily limited to the most expensive models.

Philips’ latest toothbrush certainly sits at the premium end, costing £599 (around $800). It will be available from selected retailers including Boots, Amazon and selected dental practices, and comes in black, white and blue. There’s also a rechargeable travel case and luxury charging glass included.

The biggest upgrade compared to Philips' previous best electric toothbrushes is the real-time guidance. The 9900 Prestige uses what Philips calls spatially aware guidance, with a light ring showing your brushing coverage, pressure and whether you’re scrubbing too hard.

There’s also a 12-segment Mouth Map built into the handle, showing which areas you’ve brushed and whether you’ve missed any spots. Philips’ SenseIQ pressure sensing can also automatically adjust the intensity if you press too hard.

You can customise the experience with eight brushing modes, three intensity settings and different types of feedback from the light ring.

For the actual clean, the 9900 Prestige uses Philips’ Sonicare Fluid Action technology, which helps move fluid between the teeth and along the gumline, alongside the company’s latest Sonicare drivetrain. Philips says this provides a quieter clean whilst remaining gentle but effective.

I'm currently reviewing the new 9900 Prestige, so stay tuned for my full thoughts coming soon.

Manscaped has unveiled its latest grooming tool, the Lawn Mower Ultra Gen 6, bringing a new metal design, upgraded blades and a colour display to the brand’s flagship below-the-waist trimmer.

The Lawn Mower Ultra Gen 6 is designed to offer a closer and smoother trim, with Manscaped claiming its upgraded ceramic blade can reduce the number of passes needed. It also comes with an interchangeable dual-head system, giving users both a SkinSafe ceramic trimmer and a bidirectional foil blade for trimming and shaving.

Priced at $119.99, it’s currently exclusive in the US via Manscaped’s online store and Amazon, but it’s set to arrive in the UK on 6th October for £120.

Compared to previous models such as the Lawn Mower Go, the new model gets a premium metal chassis, which has been designed to provide better balance. There’s also a high-resolution colour display, showing information such as remaining battery life, as well as built-in tutorials and reminders for when it’s time to replace the blade.

Battery life has also been increased, with the Lawn Mower Ultra Gen 6 offering up to 100 minutes of runtime, making it the longest-lasting trimmer in the Lawn Mower range.

The trimmer is also waterproof and can be used either wet or dry, whilst a dual-temperature LED spotlight is designed to make it easier to see. Other features include USB-C and wireless charging, a travel lock and a soft storage pouch.

Alongside the new trimmer, Manscaped has also launched a new three-step range of groin care products designed to be used before and after trimming.

First up is Ball Scrub, an exfoliating formula containing pineapple extracts and volcanic pumice. It’s designed to remove dirt, dead skin and freshly trimmed hair whilst preparing the skin for shaving.

That’s followed by Ball Shave Gel, a clear, no-drip gel designed specifically for the groin. The clear formula is intended to make it easier to see what you’re doing whilst also providing extra glide across sensitive skin.

The final step is Ball Deo, a refreshed version of Manscaped’s existing ball deodorant. It’s designed to help combat odour and chafing whilst soothing the skin and helping to prevent ingrown hairs, and it’s available in three scents.

Oclean has announced its new X Series electric toothbrush range, bringing instant, actionable feedback directly to the toothbrush rather than relying on an app. There are three models in total – the X Ultra 20 Set, X Pro 20 Sonic and Oclean X Lite.

At a time when certain brands are pushing the best electric toothbrushes well into premium territory, it's refreshing to see Oclean including plenty of smart features into models that remain relatively affordable.

The X Series is available now from Argos, with prices ranging from £79.99 to £199, or around $106 to $265 in the US.

Leading the range is the Oclean X Ultra 20, which combines sonic cleaning with real-time AI coaching. Using bone-conduction audio, it can talk you through your brushing without headphones or an app, alerting you if you're brushing too quickly, applying too much pressure or spending too long in one area.

It tracks 12 zones of the mouth and gives you a brushing score at the end, with missed areas highlighted on its colour touchscreen. The Care+ app takes things further with personalised reports and recommendations to help you build better brushing habits over time.

It also offers up to 40 days of battery life, noise levels below 45dB and a 4.5-hour charge. You get three brush heads, a wall mount and a charging travel case in the box.

The Oclean X Pro 20 takes a slightly simpler approach, but still tracks 12 zones and shows your brushing score and any missed areas on its full-colour display. Just like the X Ultra 20, the Care+ app also provides weekly tracking and personalised reports.

Its Maglev motor delivers up to 84,000 movements per minute, with four brushing modes covering Quick Clean, Deep Clean, Whitening and Sensitive Gum Care. There's also a FlexFit brush head designed to adapt to the contours of your mouth, whilst noise-reduction technology keeps things quieter.

Battery life stretches to 40 days, with a three-hour USB-C charge and IPX7 waterproofing. It comes with three brush heads, a wall mount and travel case, and you can even customise the wake-up display with your own photos.

Finally, the Oclean X Lite brings the smart brushing features down to a more accessible price. It tracks eight zones of the mouth directly on the built-in display, highlighting areas you've missed without requiring you to connect the toothbrush to an app.

The X Lite has a sonic motor capable of up to 72,000 movements per minute, along with five modes covering Daily Clean, Deep Clean, Sensitive, Whitening and Gum Care. There's also a two-minute timer and brush-head replacement reminders.

With up to 40 days of battery life, an ergonomic handle and a compact travel case, the X Lite looks well suited to everyday use and travelling. It comes with a Professional Clean brush head and is available in grey or blue.

Acqua di Parma has expanded its Signatures of the Sun collection with a new men’s fragrance which smells good enough to eat. Available in multiple forms, the new Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso smells like summer in a bottle, and it’s making me want to hold on to summer a little while longer.

September is always an odd month for fragrances. It’s typically still quite a warm month, which is at odds for many people who are looking forward to the autumnal season. But Acqua di Parma’s new Cedro Virtuoso is a warming scent that breaches the gap between the end of summer and start of autumn.

Acqua di Parma describes Cedro Virtuoso as a woody gourmand fragrance, with its notes of hazelnut and Virginia cedarwood. These two ingredients are co-finished and developed through a 30-day maceration process to add a rich, smooth and creamy smell to the bottle.

Cedro Virtuoso has been created exclusively for Acqua di Parma by Fabrice Pellegrin, a principal perfumer who’s worked with multiple fragrance manufacturers. Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso was made to ‘translate the strength and elegance of cedarwood into something modern and textured’.

Alongside the cedarwood and hazelnut is Calabrian bergamot which gives Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso a bright hint of freshness, while also adding extra warmth to the wood and nut that makes the base of the fragrance. It comes in Acqua di Parma’s signature bottle design that will look great next to your other brand fragrances.

My husband is a big fan of Acqua di Parma fragrances, and they always remind me of summertime, so I can’t wait for him to try this one.

The Acqua di Parma Cedro Virtuoso is available as an eau de parfum in 12ml, 50ml, 100ml and 180ml sizes. It also comes as a candle, diffuser, body cream, and hand and body wash. Prices on the fragrance start at £180 / $260 and are available to buy at John Lewis.

As a huge fan of the original CryoGlow LED face mask, it's safe to say I was incredibly excited when the new Shark CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body was announced. It takes everything I loved about the original and expands it beyond the face, with the new system designed to target eight areas associated with signs of ageing and skin stress.

I've been using my own Clinic Face + Body for the last four weeks, and whilst that's a little shorter than the testing period I normally give the best LED face masks, I've already got a good reason for sharing my verdict now – and I'll get to that shortly. The timing also happens to work nicely, as the new system is available to buy from today.

Price and availability

The Shark CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body is priced at £549.99 and is now available from Shark's online store, as well as Sephora, John Lewis and Argos. If you already own an LED setup and don't want to buy the whole system, you can also pick up the face mask on its own for £379.99 or the body panel for £249.99.

It's not available in the US just yet, but we'll update this review when it is. Shark has also confirmed that additional colours will follow later this year.

Design and features

As mentioned, the Shark CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body System expands the original CryoGlow concept beyond the face, combining a structured LED face mask with a separate flexible body panel. The system currently comes in White Gold, with the face mask using Shark's structured GlowShell design, which positions the LEDs away from the skin to help distribute the light across the treatment area. Shark says the new system delivers twice the power of its predecessor, with red, blue and deep infrared light used across its different treatment routines.

The biggest design change is the new ArcFlex body panel. Rather than being a rigid panel designed for one specific area, it can bend around the contours of your body, allowing you to use it across areas including the neck, chest and back, before reshaping it to treat your hands. That flexibility is a big part of what makes the Clinic Face + Body different from most of the LED devices I've tested.

The mask also brings back InstaChill cooling technology, which was one of my favourite things about the original CryoGlow. This time, Shark has added a new Dual-Temp Restore mode, which alternates between hot and cold under-eye therapy. The idea is to combine warming and cooling to support circulation and help reduce the appearance of puffiness around the eyes.

When it comes to treatments, there are 17 routine combinations covering anti-ageing, blemish-clearing and everyday skin maintenance. You can combine the main LED treatments with the under-eye modes, whilst the blue-light treatment is designed specifically for targeting blemishes.

Performance

The biggest surprise for me with the Shark CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body is just how much better it feels than the original. Obviously, having the option to treat more areas is a huge part of that, but Shark has also made lots of little changes to how the whole thing works, which really add up when you're using it regularly.

For example, the remote now comes with a charging stand as a standard, and you can actually see your treatment progress and keep track of how many sessions you've completed. This makes it so much easier to stick with a routine, and quickly becomes the kind of upgrade you might not think you need until you've used it.

The mask itself feels roughly the same in terms of weight, but Shark has added cushioned sections around the eyes, which makes it more comfortable to wear. The body panel is comfortable too, with a single strap that sits easily around your neck and makes it simple to position across the different treatment areas.

I was also really impressed by the remote. It's slightly larger than the one that came with the original, but I love that Shark has kept the treatment settings familiar. You don't have to remember which LED colour is supposed to do what or spend ages working out which combination you need – you just select the treatment you want and get on with it.

It's also clever enough to recognise whether you're using the mask and body panel together or just one of them, and adjusts the options you're shown accordingly. You can combine different treatment modes across the mask and panel too, which provides plenty of flexibility.

The Dual-Temp Restore mode is another feature I've really enjoyed. After seeing how much I liked using warm and cold compresses around the eyes with the Therabody Theraface Depuffing Wand, I was particularly pleased to see Shark introduce something similar here. The alternating hot and cold treatment feels lovely around the eyes, and I like that it can either be incorporated into your LED routine or as a separate treatment.

Once you've selected which parts of the system you're using, your treatment mode and whether you want to add Dual-Temp Restore or InstaChill for the under-eye area, the remote gives you a quick confirmation screen showing exactly what you've selected and how long the treatment will take.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I've been testing the CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body for four weeks. That's slightly shorter than the six to eight weeks I would normally like to spend testing an LED face mask, but it's because I started seeing results really quickly.

If you've read my other reviews, you'll know that fine lines aren't a huge concern for me just yet. At 27, I'm much more interested in using beauty tech as a preventative measure and trying to keep my skin looking its best for as long as possible. That makes the other benefits of LED therapy particularly interesting to me, and in this case, it was the anti-blemish treatment and overall glow that really caught my attention.

After around two weeks of consistent use, I noticed that some of the trickier areas of my face looked noticeably clearer, as well as the skin across my chest. The difference appeared faster than I experienced with the original CryoGlow, which was a really encouraging sign given how early I was into testing the new system.

I'm going to keep tracking the anti-ageing results, particularly on my hands, because that's one of the areas I'm most interested to see change over a longer period. Four weeks isn't long enough for me to make a meaningful judgement on those results, but the fact that I've already noticed improvements in clarity and glow has made me very optimistic about continuing with the system.

I did find myself wishing there weren't two cables, although I'm not really sure how Shark could have done it differently, especially when the system needs to know which devices you're using and which ones you're not. You can end up with a bit of a tangle occasionally, but if you're like me and use your LED face mask before bed whilst sitting still, it's really not much of an issue.

Verdict

After four weeks with the Shark CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body, I'm incredibly impressed. I already loved the original, but this feels like a brilliant upgrade rather than simply a bigger version, especially with the extra treatment areas, improved remote and clever progress tracking. I've also already noticed clearer-looking skin and a really nice glow, which appeared sooner than I expected. I still want to give the anti-ageing side more time, but based on what I've seen so far, this is easily one of the most impressive and versatile LED systems I've tested.

Alternatives to consider

There's nothing quite like the Shark CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body on the market at the moment, particularly when it comes to flexibility. However, that doesn't mean you should automatically rule out the original Shark CryoGlow, as it's still a very capable option that can often be found at a much lower price.

The CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask Series 2 is another option worth considering, particularly if you want to extend your treatment beyond your face. It can be bought with a separate neck kit, with CurrentBody claiming a 30% reduction in wrinkles and a 57% improvement in plumpness after eight weeks.

At its huge unveiling event in Berlin last week, Dyson showed off two brand new hair tools that we hadn't seen before. The Corrale CoolShine and Airsmooth arrived alongside the brand's latest robot vacuum cleaners and air purifiers, making for a pretty busy day of new Dyson tech.

The Corrale CoolShine takes Dyson's familiar hot-plate styling approach and adds a cooling system, whilst the Airsmooth is Dyson's first dedicated hot air brush. Both also feature universal voltage, something we've only seen from Dyson for the first time on the recent Supersonic Travel.

The Airsmooth is available from today for £199.99/$249.99 through Dyson's online store and selected retailers. The Corrale CoolShine launches next week for £249.99/$329.99.

The Corrale CoolShine combines Dyson's flexing plate technology with a new cooling attachment designed to remove excess heat as you style. Heat-extracting pipes pull heat away from the hair, cooling it as you straighten and helping to reduce residual heat exposure.

Dyson says this can deliver up to 29% less damage, whilst leaving hair feeling cooler, smoother and softer during and after styling.

The Airsmooth uses a dual-bristle system designed to guide hair through the airflow rather than pulling or fighting it. The anti-snag bristles have a looped structure that collapses to release strands more easily, whilst the PivotFlex bristles use an open-base design to diffuse and control the high-pressure airflow.

The two bristle types are arranged in a teardrop formation and work together to stretch curls and coils, smooth hair from root to tip and reduce frizz in a single motion. Dyson says the design is intended to work with natural curl patterns and different hair textures rather than flattening them out.

There's also intelligent heat control, which measures the temperature 100 times a second to keep styling controlled and comfortable while helping protect the hair's integrity over time.

Nanoleaf has expanded its wellness range with two new devices, taking its red light therapy and recovery tech beyond the face. The new launches include the Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Neck & Décolletage Mask and the Nanoleaf Lymphatic Body Sculpting Massager, both designed to be integrated into an at-home wellness routine.

The LED Light Therapy Neck & Décolletage Mask uses Nanoleaf's Triple NIR Technology, combining three Near-Infrared wavelengths to target areas where deeper neck lines tend to appear. The Lymphatic Body Sculpting Massager, meanwhile, is a handheld device designed to support lymphatic flow, reduce puffiness and help create a more sculpted appearance.

The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Neck & Décolletage Mask is priced at £149.99/$149.99/€149.99, whilst the Lymphatic Body Sculpting Massager costs £45.99/$59.99/€69.99. Both will be available through Nanoleaf's website and Amazon.

The two launches follow several wellness products we've already seen from Nanoleaf, including its LED Face Mask, Light Therapy Panel and Light Therapy Wand. This time, the LED Light Therapy Neck & Décolletage Mask takes things further than the face, wrapping around the neck and extending across the chest. It has seven treatment modes – Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Yellow, Purple and White – along with five intensity levels.

The Lymphatic Body Sculpting Massager takes a different approach, combining four treatments in one device – microcurrent, red light therapy, heat and vibration. Vibration is designed to encourage lymphatic flow, whilst heat helps relax muscles and ease tension. There's also 640nm red light and 850nm Near-Infrared light, which Nanoleaf says can support healthier-looking skin. It has a cordless design too, offering up to 2.5 hours of battery life.

Shark Beauty is expanding beyond its best LED face mask range with its first LED system designed to treat both the face and body. The Shark CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body has been clinically tested to target eight areas associated with signs of ageing and skin stress, including forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines, lines around the lips, smile lines, neck, chest and hands.

“CryoGlow Clinic Face & Body is Shark Beauty’s next-generation LED system, bringing our most advanced LED technology yet to both the face and body. It’s clinic-inspired skincare for the whole body, made simple enough for every home,” said Carolyn Anderson, VP Marketing at SharkNinja UK.

The Shark CryoGlow Clinic Face + Body officially launches on 9th September, priced at £549.99 in White Gold. Shark is also launching the Clinic Face for £379.99 and Clinic Body for £249.99, giving you the option to buy the two treatments separately. All three will be available through SharkNinja and selected retailers, with additional colours confirmed to follow later this year.

The new system uses a combination of Precision Blue, Red and Deep Infrared Light, with Shark claiming twice the power of its original series for faster anti-ageing results. A structured GlowShell design holds the LEDs away from the skin to distribute the light more evenly, whilst precisely positioned LEDs are designed to provide consistent coverage across the treatment area.

Shark has also expanded the under-eye treatment that featured on the original CryoGlow. Alongside the returning InstaChill Technology, there's a new DualTemp Restore mode. This alternates between warming and cooling under the eyes, with the aim of stimulating circulation whilst soothing and brightening tired-looking skin.

However, the biggest change is the addition of dedicated body treatments. The flexible body panel can be positioned across the neck, chest and back before transforming to treat the hands, using Shark's ArcFlex Technology to maintain more even coverage across different areas. There's also a Balance & Clear mode aimed at reducing the appearance of blemishes on the back and chest, extending the system beyond anti-ageing treatments alone.

With August – and summer – coming to an end, it’s time to look back on the best men’s fragrance launches from this past month. Just like July, August has been another intensely hot month, and we’ve seen lots of exciting releases, inspired by the warmer weather.

The majority of August’s fragrance launches have been summer themed, although there has definitely been a shift towards richer, autumnal tones. Notes like chocolate, vanilla, bergamot, ginger and cinnamon have been more prominent which has been getting us excited for the upcoming fall season.

Below, I’ve rounded up the nine best men’s fragrance launches from August to round off the summer and kick start autumn with. These include Tom Ford, Maison Margiela, Valentino, Montblanc and more.

Men’s fragrances from August 2026

Shark Beauty has launched its new Strawberry Matcha collection, bringing a café-inspired colour pairing to some of its most popular beauty products. The new look appears across most of the brand’s beauty range, including the very recently launched Shark Silki Pro Straight.

The new colourway combines a soft matcha green with bubblegum pink, contributing to the ongoing pastel trend and, of course, matcha. Whilst it's limited to beauty products for now, SharkNinja has also put together a list of its kitchen and floorcare products that are available in either green or pink, so you can technically coordinate the rest of your home as well.

The Strawberry Matcha collection is available to browse on Shark’s website now, with different products also available from retailers including John Lewis, Sephora and Boots.

As mentioned, the Shark Silki Pro Straight has had a Strawberry Matcha makeover, which is particularly exciting considering it picked up our Best Hair Styling Tool award at the T3 Awards 2026. It’s joined by several other products we’ve reviewed and loved, including the Shark CryoGlow, FacialPro Glow & DePuffi and SpeedStyle Pro Flex. The Shark Glam has also been included in the US, but not the UK.

There’s also a Strawberry Matcha CryoGlow and FacialPro Glow & DePuffi bundle available directly from Shark, priced at just under £500 instead of £600 in the UK. In the US, the same bundle is available for $675, down from $750.

Sensse has announced the launch of the Aura Pro Laser Hair Device, a new at-home haircare system designed to target thinning hair, oil imbalance and dormant follicles using a combination of laser, LED and scalp stimulation technologies.

Unlike more conventional surface-level LED treatments, the Aura Pro features 15 precision laser diodes emitting a 650nm wavelength, designed to penetrate deeper into the scalp and stimulate activity within the hair follicles. Sensse says this can help encourage follicles to enter the active growth phase of the hair cycle.

The Sensse Aura Pro costs £159.99 and is available through Sensse's online store, Lookfantastic, Very and Currys. It's not currently available in the US, but its UK price works out at roughly $210.

The Aura Pro combines 30 high-intensity red and blue LEDs with Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and three customisable vibration modes, which are designed to increase blood flow and support scalp elasticity.

One of the more unusual additions is the Precision Infusion System, something we haven't seen included on many multifunctional scalp devices. A built-in 10ml automatic dispenser can hold scalp serums, caffeine treatments or hair oils, feeding them directly through the massager pins during use. We've seen a similar approach on devices such as the Rootique Duo Gen 2, but combining it with LED and EMS makes the Aura Pro feel particularly advanced.

Power comes from a 500mAh rechargeable battery, offering up to 80 minutes of continuous use. Much like the best LED face masks, it has an automatic timer keeping each treatment to around 10 minutes.

Panasonic has refreshed its premium Series 900 electric shaver with a number of upgrades, including an updated five-blade system that the brand says delivers up to 50% greater cutting efficiency. If you're shopping for the best electric shaver, it's a significant improvement worth paying attention to.

Powering the Series 900 is Panasonic's mag-lev linear motor, which delivers an impressive 70,000 cutting actions per minute. It's also designed to maintain consistent performance as the battery runs low, so you shouldn't notice the shave getting progressively weaker between charges.

Two models are available, with the ES-L550U supplied without a cleaning station and the ES-L580U including one, and both are priced at £429.99 via Panasonic's online store and Amazon. It's also been confirmed that an even more premium six-blade Series 900+ will arrive later in 2026, taking over as the brand's new flagship shaver range.

The Series 900 combines three finishing blades with two upgraded thick stubble trimmer blades, all made from Japanese stainless steel and positioned at a 30° angle. . Panasonic also says the blades can maintain a close shave for up to five years.

One of the more interesting features is Beard Sensor+ Technology, which detects beard density and automatically increases or reduces power where needed, alongside a flexible head that follows the contours of your face. The shaver supports wet and dry use, USB-C charging and comes with a hard travel case.

Manscaped has expanded its popular Lawn Mower lineup with a new model that puts affordability and portability front and centre. The Lawn Mower Go is the brand's most affordable body groomer yet, joining a growing range that already includes The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra and The Lawn Mower 3.0 Plus.

Designed specifically with below-the-waist grooming in mind, the Lawn Mower Go has a slim, lightweight profile that's intended to make it easier to manoeuvre around trickier areas. Its ergonomic grip should also provide plenty of control without being bulky, putting it up there with the best body groomers available.

The Manscaped Lawn Mower Go is available now for £55/$50 and comes in two colourways. Mineral Blue is currently exclusive to Amazon, whilst Granite Grey will be available from Argos, Tesco and Sainsbury's later in the year. Retail availability varies in the US.

The Lawn Mower Go uses a SkinSafe ceramic trimmer blade, which is designed to help reduce the risk of nicks and cuts, and comes with two adjustable comb attachments covering 3-5mm and 7-9mm lengths.

It's also fully waterproof, meaning you can use it for wet or dry grooming before rinsing it clean afterwards. There's even an integrated LED spotlight to improve visibility in harder-to-see areas, which is particularly handy given what it's primarily designed to trim.

Battery life comes in at up to 60 minutes, with USB-C charging making it easy to top up at home or whilst travelling. Manscaped has also included a travel lock to prevent any accidental starts in your bag, along with a built-in sport strap for easier storage.

Dyson has expanded its Airwrap Coanda 2x multi-styler lineup with four new attachments, all designed to make styling quicker, easier and more versatile. According to the brand, the new accessories benefit from improved airflow engineering and updated designs to deliver better control, faster wrapping and smoother results across a variety of hair types.

The new lineup includes the Conical Coanda 2x Curling Barrel, Large Round Volumising Brush 2x, 40mm Coanda 2x Curling Barrel (Long) and an updated Air Straightener 2x attachment.

Prices start from £34.90, with all four accessories available now from Dyson and John Lewis.

The Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2x originally launched in July 2025, introducing Dyson's second-generation motor alongside a brand new straightening attachment – the AirSmooth 2x. Now, the upgraded Air Straightener 2x (£39.90) is designed to take hair from wet to dry in as little as one pass, whilst continuing to avoid extreme heat.

Elsewhere, the new Conical Coanda 2x Curling Barrel (£34.90) has been designed for those who prefer softer curls. Its tapered shape creates tighter curls at the roots that gradually loosen towards the ends, giving hair a more effortless finish whilst making it easier to style close to the scalp.

The Large Round Volumising Brush 2x (£34.90) features a larger brush head that's designed to create bouncier blow-dries with added lift, whilst the 40mm Coanda 2x Curling Barrel – Long (£34.90) has been built with longer and thicker hair in mind. Dyson says the upgraded barrel offers 30% more power than the previous Airwrap i.d., allowing it to wrap hair faster and produce more consistent curls.

Laifen has expanded its grooming range with the new P3 electric shaver, bringing the brand's precision-focused technology to a more accessible model. It follows the Laifen P3 Pro, which earned four stars in our full review earlier this year.

The Laifen P3 introduces a new self-developed twin high-speed linear motor system, delivering 12,000 x 2 cuts per minute. Laifen says this helps reduce vibrations against the skin, addressing one of the biggest complaints many users have with even the best electric shavers.

Priced at £139.99/$159.99, the Laifen P3 is available to buy from Amazon and selected retailers from today.

Available in black, white and blue, the P3 uses a durable PC body with a ceramic-like Monocoat finish, which provides a more secure grip. It also features a stainless steel blade net and an ultra-thin 0.55mm hypoallergenic foil with low nickel, helping deliver a smoother, gentler shave.

The built-in battery provides up to 100 minutes of use from a full charge. If you're in a rush, a quick three-minute charge provides around seven minutes of shaving time. There's also a dedicated travel lock mode, activated by holding the power button for two seconds.

Braun has introduced its newest electric shaver series, and it includes its ‘finest engineering achievement to date’. The new Braun Nevo 15000C Electric Shaver features AeroTouch and Smart Processor technology to take your grooming to the next level while taking care of your skin – but be warned, it’ll cost you a fair few bob.

Braun’s latest shaver, the Braun Nevo 15000C Electric Shaver ticks off many firsts for the brand. The shaver has a first-of-its-kind ultra-gliding foil head that works alongside AeroTouch technology which makes the Nevo the first of Braun’s shavers to use this technology.

What AeroTouch technology does is it allows the shaver to come into close contact with the skin lightly and while minimising friction. The shaver gives a close, professional shave that takes care of the skin underneath your facial hair.

I’ve covered grooming tools for a while now, but as you can probably tell from my author bio, I don’t have much experience using electric shavers (since I’m not able to grow facial hair!). But one of the most impressive features I’ve learnt about since expanding my knowledge on electric shavers is its sensors.

As smart tech has advanced over the years, most electric shavers come with sensors that allow the shaver to adapt better to your facial hair. The Braun Nevo 15000C Electric Shaver does this via its Smart Processor which automatically changes its power output to better suit your beard’s density.

Aside from adapting to your beard, the Braun Nevo 15000C Electric Shaver has an adaptive head and a built-in Long Hair Trimmer, so you can shape your beard and sideburns, while also getting into hard-to-reach areas, like around your jaw and under your chin. These settings and real-time insights show on the shaver’s smart display.

Another first for Braun, the Braun Nevo 15000C Electric Shaver has been dubbed the only shaver in the world that has a surgical stainless steel unibody. It comes with 250 diamond sharp blades, is 100% waterproof and has a 60 minute battery life.

To make your grooming maintenance even easier, the Braun Nevo 15000C Electric Shaver comes with its Nevo Care 7-in-1 system which automatically cleans and charges your shaver while prolonging the life of the blades. The shaver also comes with a travel case, shaver cleaning cartridge, cleaning brush and charging cable.

The Braun Nevo 15000C Electric Shaver has an RRP of £739.99 but at Braun, you can get it for £369.99. It’s also available at select retailers, like Boots.

Over £700 for an electric shaver is pretty expensive but this tends to be the case with Braun shavers – its Braun Series 9 Pro+ which is one of its most advanced and popular models is around the same price. The good news, however, is it’s fairly unlikely you’ll ever have to pay full price as Braun shavers are often on sale.

Philips has launched its first-ever LED face mask, featuring a clever 3-in-1 design that lets you treat the full face, eye area or neck individually. The Philips ReAura LED Mask also has a lightweight design that adapts comfortably to different face shapes, whilst soft eye cushions provide gentle support during each treatment.

It uses a combination of red, blue and near-infrared LED wavelengths, designed to support the visible reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes and redness. There are three targeted modes to choose from – Age Care, Blemish Care and Daily Glow Age Care – making it easy to select the treatment that best suits your skincare needs.

The Philips ReAura LED Mask will be available to buy from 1st August in the UK, Germany and France through the Philips online store and exclusively via Amazon. It's priced at £349.99/€399.99.

Many of the best LED masks launched with a single use design, particularly in their earlier generations. Brands such as Silk'n and CurrentBody have since started introducing more flexible models with features such as neck and chin coverage, so it's impressive to see Philips entering the market with a such a versatile design.

The ReAura also has a portable design, allowing you to enjoy up to eight sessions per battery charge, with each treatment lasting around 10 minutes.

I'll be reviewing the mask in due course, so keep an eye out for my full thoughts coming soon.

Philips beauty deals you should check out

July has been an intensely hot month – the perfect summer, if you ask me! The latest men’s fragrances from July have been a fun mixture of bright and musky scents for your next summer holiday and the upcoming autumnal season (if we can even talk about that yet).

July has been a busy month for fragrance launches, including new bottles from the likes of Dior, Rabanne, Calvin Klein, D.S. & Durga, and more. You can expect notes of florals, tropical fruits, sea salt, and amber, so there’s something for everyone. Here are the best nine new men’s fragrances from July 2026 that you should add to your collection.

MEN’S FRAGRANCES FROM JULY 2026

Aldi has just added two new LED beauty gadgets to its stores, a.k.a the last thing I ever thought I’d see Aldi sell. Featuring a face sculptor and hairbrush, the LED collection uses red light therapy and vibrations to enhance your skincare and haircare – but I’m not convinced you should buy them.

Aldi has gone beyond just selling groceries and toiletries. Over the past couple of years, the global supermarket chain has become known for its middle aisle which has become packed full of kitchen appliances, garden furniture and even barbecues.

But this latest launch has surprised me more than all the others, as Aldi has just introduced an LED Face Sculptor and LED Hairbrush to its stores. This isn’t the first time Aldi has branched out in LED skincare, as it has previously launched an LED face mask and LED wand which are also returning to Aldi stores this weekend.

Among the new launches is the LED Face Sculptor which uses red light therapy and vibrations to tone and lift your skin. It looks similar to the Shark FacialPro Glow which glides across the face to cleanse, hydrate and depuff the skin.

I imagine the Aldi LED Face Sculptor offers a similar action but in a much simpler way. Where the Shark FacialPro Glow comes with multiple attachments for different treatments, the LED Face Sculptor is just a single device. Price is also a major difference as the Shark FacialPro Glow is £300 whereas the LED Face Sculptor is £12.99.

The other new launch from Aldi is the LED Hairbrush which is also priced at £12.99. Like the LED Face Sculptor, the hairbrush uses red LED lights and gentle vibrations to stimulate the scalp to encourage hair growth and healthier locks. This might sound odd to some, but red light has been found to be beneficial for hair and to enhance the scalp’s blood flow.

These two launches join Aldi’s LED Face Mask which has seven light settings to reduce fine lines and redness, and the LED Wand which precisely tackles these problems in tool form. Both cost £12.99, making Aldi’s entire LED beauty collection the same cheap price.

Now, I love Aldi and I love a good bargain, but if you were to ask me if you should buy these LED gadgets, my answer would be no. LED skin care is expensive for a reason, and skin isn’t something to mess around with, especially not for the low price of £12.99.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with buying cheap gadgets. In fact, I use the Silk’n LED Face Mask 100 as part of my weekly skincare routine, and it’s the most budget-friendly LED face mask you can buy (albeit it’s still £150). But an LED mask or sculptor that’s only £12.99? This raises some concerns for me.

When buying an LED skincare product, it’s important to look for ones that are FDA-approved, meaning it has passed rigorous testing for safety and efficiency. I can’t see that written anywhere on the LED range from Aldi and as these products come into contact with skin and hair, I’m not sure I’d completely trust them.

But if you still want to try them for yourself, the LED beauty line-up is available in select Aldi stores from 26th July.

Shark Beauty has upgraded its award-winning CryoGlow LED face mask, adding improved LED coverage and better battery performance. The new CryoGlow Plus features more LEDs compared to the original, whilst battery performance has been optimised as well.

The new Shark CryoGlow Plus also arrives in two fresh colourways – Pastel Berry and Pastel Dusk. Following this launch, the mask will be available in eight different colour options, which fits with SharkNinja's usual approach of offering its products in a wide variety of shades.

It isn't available to buy just yet, but it will launch for £339.99 via Shark's website and selected retailers, with deliveries starting from 29th July. For comparison, the original model is now available from around £250, making it a cheaper option if you don't need the latest upgrades.

The original Shark CryoGlow achieved five stars in our full review back in 2024 and went on to win Best LED Face Mask at the T3 Awards 2025, so expectations are high for this updated version.

Aside from the new features, the CryoGlow Plus remains very similar to the original model. It still includes the same Better Ageing, Blemish Repair and Skin Sustain LED modes, alongside Shark's InstaChill Cold Technology, which uses three adjustable cooling levels to soothe the under-eye area.

Watch out, Dyson Airwrap – Shark has expanded its FlexStyle hair styling range with its new FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler. Dubbed its most powerful multi-styler yet, the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler is specifically designed for curly hair, although UK customers will have to wait to get their hands on it.

Multi-stylers have taken over the haircare market, and Shark is one of the big name brands within this space. Its FlexStyle collection offers versatile drying and styling for all hair types, and its line-up of hair tools are some of the best we’ve tried – see our Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 Air Styler & Dryer review for more details.

The latest addition to the FlexStyle range is the new Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler. As the name suggests, the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler is all about curly hair, although it can work across all hair types and textures.

But if you have curly hair or you want to create your own curls, the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler is the best styler to do it with. Using Ion Smooth technology, the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler dries and styles hair while minimising frizz and making curls look bouncier, shinier and more defined.

The Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler acts in a similar way to the Dyson Airwrap a.k.a the hair tool that put everyone on to this type of styling. It uses CoandaBoost technology (like the Airwrap) which uses a concentrated airflow to automatically wrap the hair around the tool to create curls and waves.

Measuring 11.24 inches in height and 1.49 inches in length and width, the main body of the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler is surprisingly compact and weighs just 1.5 pounds. It has power, speed and temperature buttons on the handle, and you can tilt the top of it to turn the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler into a hair dryer.

To set your hair, the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler has an Airset button which expels cold air to keep your style in place. It also comes with multiple accessories, including two Auto-Wrap Coanda curlers, a FrizzFighter High Shine Polisher, a Styling Concentrator and Oval Brush.

Hair stylers like the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler come into close contact with hair and the scalp. To protect hair, this styler has a scalp shield mode which instantly adjusts temperatures when it gets too close to your head, so your hair isn’t damaged from extreme heat.

I haven’t had the best luck with hair stylers, as no matter what product I put in or on my hair, it just doesn’t want to hold any styling! But the Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler may have convinced me to give this type of styler another try, and I love that it comes in a pretty lilac colour.

Sadly for me, though, I’ll have to wait until it arrives in the UK, as it’s currently only available in the US. The Shark FlexStyle IonCurl Hair Styler is available to buy for $349.99 at SharkNinja. As of writing, UK customers can sign up for it under SharkNinja’s Coming Soon page.

BaByliss Pro has long been a favourite among professional stylists, but tools that were once reserved for salons are now becoming much more accessible for at-home users. The latest to join the lineup is the Nano Titanium 2" Ultra-Thin Straightener, a styling tool designed to make light work of thick, long hair.

Featuring extra-wide titanium plates, near-instant heat-up and temperatures of up to 450°F, it's built to straighten larger sections of hair in fewer passes. However, with a premium price tag and no UK launch just yet, is it worth seeking out? I've been putting it to the test to find out.

Price and availability

The BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium 2" Ultra-Thin Straightener is currently exclusive to the US, where it's priced at $179.99 on BaByliss' website.

Whilst BaByliss Pro products are available in the UK, the Nano Titanium range hasn't made its way across the Atlantic just yet.

Design and features

The straightener has an ultra-lightweight design that's comfortable to hold, whilst the metallic blue finish gives it a distinctive look compared to the sea of black stylers on the market.

The standout feature is its extra-wide 2-inch titanium plates, which are also extended to 5 inches in length. This means you can straighten much larger sections of hair in a single pass, making it particularly well suited to anyone with thick, long or coarse hair. However, those with shorter hair may want to avoid.

The Nano Titanium plates are designed to heat up quickly, distribute heat evenly and glide smoothly through the hair. A ceramic heating system also ensures near-instant heat-up and rapid temperature recovery.

The Nano Titanium plates are designed to heat up quickly, distribute heat evenly and glide smoothly through the hair. A ceramic heating system also ensures near-instant heat-up and rapid temperature recovery.

There are five adjustable heat settings, starting at 300°F (149°C) and reaching up to 450°F (232°C). It also has a handy locking mechanism for storage, and the power cord is generously long. Just bear in mind that, if you're using it in the UK like I was, you'll need a US plug adaptor.

Performance

During use, one of the biggest advantages I found is simply how much hair the straightener can cover in a single pass. I found myself straightening far larger sections than I would with a traditional hair straightener, which made a noticeable difference to how long my routine took. Even after sectioning my hair properly, I was finished in around five to seven minutes, which is a lot quicker than it usually takes me.

The straightener heats up in a matter of seconds, so there's very little waiting around before you can get started, and the temperature remains steady as you style. The body is sturdy without feeling heavy, the long swivel cord gave me plenty of room to move around.

I also appreciated the sheer number of heat settings on offer, and whilst it's always best to use the lowest temperature to minimise heat damage, it's reassuring to know the higher settings are there if you need them.

One feature I found surprisingly useful was the locking mechanism, which kepet the plates closed when I wasn't using the straightener. This was especially useful whenever I needed to put it down whilst sectioning my hair or taking a quick break.

That said, considering the premium price, I do think BaByliss Pro could have included some extras, including a heat-resistant mat, storage pouch or even a styling glove. This would have made the overall kit feel a little more complete and better justified the price tag.

Verdict

The BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium 2" Ultra-Thin Straightener is all about making styling quicker, particularly if you have long or thick hair. Its extra-wide titanium plates cover much more hair with each pass than a standard straightener, whilst the wide range of heat settings makes it suitable for different hair types. The biggest drawback is the premium price, made slightly more disappointing by the lack of extras such as a heat mat or storage pouch. That said, if speed and performance are your priorities, it's a fantastic straightener that delivers exactly what it promises.

Alternatives to consider

Interestingly, the extra-long plates immediately reminded me of the Shark Shark SilkiPro Straight. Whilst Shark's model is more versatile thanks to its ability to dry and straighten hair at the same time, both are excellent choices if you have thick hair and want to speed up your styling routine.

Another comparable option is the Hot Tools Black Gold Dual Plate Salon Straightener. It also uses titanium technology to deliver fast styling and comes in at £129.99/$129.99, making it a more affordable alternative.

It's no secret that you don't have to spend a fortune these days to get a great hair styler. However, when a tool costs noticeably more than the competition, you want to know you're paying for features that actually make a difference.

That's exactly what I set out to find with the T3 SinglePass Curl X 32mm. With a premium price tag and plenty of good reviews to back it up, I couldn't wait to put it to the test. Plus, it shares a name with us here at T3, so it was always going to make its way into my review pile.

Price and availability

The T3 SinglePass Curl X starts at £159.99 for the 25mm model, whilst the 32mm version I'm testing costs £179.99. Both are available from the T3 online store and Amazon.

The 25mm model is available exclusively in white, whilst the 32mm comes in either white or a baby pink finish. I'm a big fan of the colour options, and it's nice to see a styling tool that's a little more interesting than the usual black.

Design and features

The T3 SinglePass Curl X 32mm is clearly designed with long and thick hair in mind. Its standout feature is the extra-long 6.5-inch CeraGloss ceramic barrel, which lets you wrap larger sections of hair at once, helping speed up your styling routine. The 32mm barrel is also perfect if you're after loose curls or beachy waves rather than tighter ringlets.

Compared to the previous model, the Curl X introduces T3's new ProGlide clip, which holds hair securely without catching.

Inside, Digital T3 SinglePass Technology continuously monitors and adjusts the temperature to keep the heat consistent across the barrel. This helps eliminate hot spots, reduces the need to go over the same section twice and leaves hair looking shinier thanks to the ceramic coating.

The 32mm model also offers nine heat settings – compared to just five on the 25mm version – making it easier to tailor the temperature to your hair type.

Other thoughtful features include the SmartTwist temperature dial, a ventilated cool tip for safer styling, automatic one-hour shut-off, worldwide voltage for travel and a generous 360-degree swivel cord.

Performance

The first thing I noticed when using the T3 SinglePass Curl X 32mm was just how much quicker it made the whole process. Thanks to the extra-long barrel, I could wrap much bigger sections of hair than I normally would, meaning I spent less time curling and more time enjoying the results.

The finished curls were also exactly the kind of look I tend to go for, and the 32mm barrel produced soft waves with plenty of movement. They also lasted surprisingly well, holding their shape for most of the day before naturally relaxing into loose waves by the evening.

The only feature that wasn't immediately intuitive was the new ProGlide clip. It's a little different from the traditional curling tongs I'm used to, so I had to get to grips with it during my first session. However, once I'd worked out the best technique, I had no complaints. It gripped each section firmly without leaving creases, and after a couple of uses it felt completely natural.

With nine heat settings, there's far more flexibility than many curling tongs offer, so it's easy to match the heat to your hair type. I'm also a big fan of the SmartTwist dial, which feels much more satisfying to use than repeatedly pressing buttons.

Verdict

The T3 SinglePass Curl X 32mm feels like a styling tool that's taken consumer feedback on board and come out the other side even better. It creates long-lasting curls with very little effort, speeds up styling for longer hair and quickly becomes second nature once you've mastered the clip. I found it to be a premium experience from start to finish.

Alternatives to consider

If you're looking for a more affordable alternative, the Revamp Effortless Curls Extra-Long Ceramic Tong is worth considering. It's particularly good for long hair and creates similarly bouncy curls thanks to its long ceramic barrel, although it has a simpler design and doesn't feature T3's clip.

If you'd rather stay within the T3 range but want something more versatile, the T3 Aire 360 is another excellent option. It comes with multiple styling attachments, including ceramic-coated curling barrels that use heated airflow instead of direct heat.

Silk'n has unveiled the LumiGlow, a new targeted LED skincare device that's designed to treat specific areas of your face. The brand is already well known for its range of the best LED face masks, with the Silk'n LED Face Mask Pro recently receiving Highly Commended in the 2026 T3 Awards.

Unlike a traditional LED mask, the LumiGlow can be used almost anywhere on the face, including around the eyes, across the nose, between the brows or on individual blemishes. It's compact design makes it ideal for travel, and each treatment takes just five minutes.

The Silk'n LumiGlow is available now from Silk'n's online store for £59, with launches at Lookfantastic in August and Boots in September.

The LumiGlow features three modes with four LED colours, each designed to target different skincare concerns. In comparison, the LED Face Mask Pro has seven modes powered by five different wavelengths.

Mode 1 combines blue and red light to help reduce the appearance of blemishes and promote a clearer-looking complexion. Mode 2 uses red and near-infrared light to support collagen and elastin production for firmer-looking skin, whilst Mode 3 combines amber, red and near-infrared light to help minimise the appearance of pigmentation and redness.

Battery life is also impressive for such a small device, with around six to eight treatments available from a single charge. The LumiGlow attaches to your skin using adhesive strips, with 15 single-use strips included in the box. Replacement packs of 30 strips are available from Silk'n for £14.90.

Silk'n also includes a handy travel pouch and a USB-C charging cable, making the LumiGlow an easy skincare companion whether you're at home or away.

Ghd (and AI) fans, rejoice. The brand's latest launch, the ghd Sculpt, is its smartest styler and straighteners yet. Using new AI-powered Heat Adapt technology, it continuously adapts to your hair as you style, promising smoother, longer-lasting results without compromising hair health.

I'm all about making my morning routine as quick and easy as possible, so when I heard the Sculpt promised five-times faster styling, I was immediately intrigued. As someone who's always battled naturally wavy hair and has tried everything from keratin treatments to literally ironing my hair (don't judge me) as a teenager, I'm a sucker for anything that promises sleek and shiny hair while making my styling routine far less time-consuming. Naturally, I had to put it to the test.

Ghd Sculpt review: price and availability

The Ghd Sculpt launched in July 2026 and is available in black or white. It has an RRP of £369 and currently available at Ghd.

Ghd Sculpt review: design and features

In terms of design, the Sculpt looks unlike any other styler I've tested. The white and silver finish feels every bit as premium as you'd expect from ghd, and it’s a different shape and vibe from the other ghds I’ve owned.

The slim Infinity plates glided through my hair without snagging once and the futuristic, yet feminine silhouette meant I was more than happy to keep them on show on my dressing table. For those who travel or like to store their hair styling products out of sight. They're surprisingly slim and lightweight too. They slid easily into my gym bag without adding much weight and tucked neatly into a drawer when needed.

Unlike some other ghd models, the Sculpt is only available with one plate size, measuring 26mm wide. Initially, I wondered whether I'd miss the wider plates, but thanks to ghd's claim of five-times faster straightening and an ultra-fast personalised styling that transforms your hair in one stroke, I really didn't. They proved just as quick and effective on my usually tricky-to-style hair.

They also made creating curls much easier. I've always found twisting straighteners to produce curls a bit of an art, but the slim plates, lightweight curved design and smooth glide made me wonder why I'd ever found it so difficult.

My hair wrapped easily around the plates, heated evenly and glided through without catching, leaving me with soft, ringlet curls in just a few attempts.

Ghd Sculpt review: AI technology

Like other ghd stylers, the Sculpt is designed around the brand's 185°C styling temperature. The difference here is its new Heat Adapt technology, which uses AI to monitor your hair during styling rather than simply maintaining a constant plate temperature. According to ghd, the Sculpt continuously monitors styling conditions and adapts its heat delivery in real time to suit each section of hair, delivering the optimum amount of heat for styling while helping to protect the hair's natural structure.

Did I notice the AI working? Honestly, that's difficult to say. It's not as though you can feel the temperature changing while you style (nor should you touch the plates to find out). What I did notice was the end result. My naturally wavy, colour-treated hair came out consistently smooth, sleek and frizz-free, and straightening it felt quicker and less of a chore than with some of my older stylers.

Curious about how it all works? So was I. Behind the scenes, the Sculpt's AI is powered by a microprocessor that takes around 2,900 measurements every second, detecting when hair is between the plates, how much hair you're styling and how quickly you're moving. It then adjusts the power and heat delivery in real time to suit each section of hair. It's undeniably clever technology and my hair consistently came out smoother and shinier than I'd ever expected.

Ghd Sculpt review: performance

Part of the Sculpt’s charm is its personalisation. Because the AI takes care of the temperature control, all you need to do is press the power button (which makes a rather satisfying beep) and wait for it to heat up. That took just a few seconds, giving me enough time to spritz on some heat protectant.

During use, my hair slid through the plates and came out sleek, shiny and effortlessly straight - right to the tip. I loved that there was nowhere for my hair to get caught or snag between the plates, and the lightweight, slim design never felt clunky in my hands.

GHD claims the Sculpt delivers up to 90% more shine and 2.5x less frizz than naturally dried hair. While I obviously couldn't measure those figures, my hair certainly looked as sleek as it does after a professional blow dry and held its straightness even after a good night’s sleep. If you've ever gone to bed with perfectly straight hair only to wake up with a halo of frizz, you'll know exactly what I mean. My hair simply stayed smoother for longer than it normally does, without feeling dry or over-cooked.

Whether I styled small sections or much larger ones, the results remained impressively consistent. Ghd also says the Sculpt helps preserve colour vibrancy by avoiding unnecessary heat, something that particularly appealed to me given my colour-treated hair and bleached ends, which have a tendency to dry out easily.

Another unexpected bonus was feeling comfortable enough to let my 12-year-old daughter use them. I've always avoided letting her use my older straighteners because her hair is still completely healthy, but the promise of the AI adapting to her hair rather than simply blasting it with a constant heat gave me much more confidence. Her hair is obviously very different to mine, yet the result was the same: smooth, straight hair and the reassurance of knowing that her precious locks weren't being exposed to any more heat than they needed.

The biggest surprise wasn't the technology itself - it was how effortless it made everything feel. The AI quietly adjusted the heat in the background while I simply got on with getting ready. My hair stayed sleek for three to four days, meaning I wasn't reaching for the straighteners every morning. It genuinely reduced my getting-ready time - so much so that I probably ran it through my hair a few extra times, simply because I couldn't believe it could be that straight that easily. It could!

Ghd Sculpt review: Verdict

Like many people my age, my very first styling tool was a pair of ghd straighteners. I saved up for months (and months) to buy them and never regretted spending a single penny. Since then, I've tried plenty of other brands, but I almost always come back to ghd because I find their products consistently reliable. The Sculpt is now my new favourite.

It straightened my hair in under 15 minutes, while the premium design, lightweight feel and smooth-gliding Infinity plates made styling feel almost effortless. Add in the new AI-powered Heat Adapt technology, and you've got a straightener that consistently delivers sleek, long-lasting results while adapting to your hair's individual needs.

The only real downside is that it's a significant investment. But when I think about how much I've spent on weekly blow-dries simply because I couldn't face styling my own hair, I can already see it paying for itself. Better still, my hair stayed smooth for several days, meaning I wasn't constantly reaching for the straighteners before work, before a meeting or a night out. For me, that's worth every penny.

Ghd Sculpt review: alternatives to consider

I have to admit, I haven't come across any AI-powered hair styling gadgets quite like this before. Ghd certainly seems to be one of the first, and I doubt it'll be the last.

That said, there are a few other straighteners that have impressed me over the years including the Dyson Airstrait that uses high-speed airflow to dry and straighten hair simultaneously. Another styler I've been impressed by is the L'Oréal Professionnel SteamPod 4, particularly if you have thick, long or curly hair. Its wider plates and steam technology helped tame my hair with ease.

Finally, if you have fine, delicate or colour-treated hair and prefer to control the heat yourself, the Nicky Clarke Frizz Control Straightener is also worth considering. Its tourmaline-coated plates leave hair smooth and shiny, and with five temperature settings ranging from 150°C to 230°C, you can choose exactly how hot (or not) you want to style your hair. Unlike the Sculpt, which automatically adapts the heat for you, it's a better choice if you prefer to stay in complete control of the styling temperature yourself, and it comes in way cheaper too.

Wimbledon 2026 has been taking place from 22nd June - 12th July, and the past week has been full of nail-biting games and stylish spectators. To celebrate the last week of the tennis tournament, I’ve had a look for men’s fragrances and women’s perfumes that capture the spirit of Wimbledon.

If you know anything about Wimbledon, you might expect to find summery scents full of strawberries and cream – the go-to snack at the competition. But I’ve taken things one step further, and found fragrances that smell like you’re actually on the tennis court, including notes of freshly cut grass and even tennis balls.

From D.S. & DURGA to Hermès, here are five Wimbledon-inspired fragrances that you’ll love both on and off the court.

Wimbledon fragrances 2026

When you consider one of the best electric toothbrushes, there's usually a certain design that springs to mind. Most feature a slim handle with either an oscillating or sonic brush head, alongside familiar features like a built-in two-minute timer and 30-second quadrant reminders. Beyond that, there often isn't much to separate one model from another... until you come across the Feno Smartbrush.

Instead of brushing one section of your mouth at a time, the Feno Smartbrush is designed to clean every tooth simultaneously in just 20 seconds. It's also the first toothbrush to combine daily brushing with detailed scans of your teeth and gums, using AI to provide ongoing insights into your oral health over time.

There's certainly a lot going on here, so I was keen to find out whether it could live up to its brilliant reviews.

Price and availability

I've been testing the Founder's Edition Bundle, which costs £276/$299 and includes the Smartbrush, one custom-made TrueFit Mouthpiece, three tubes of Feno Foam toothpaste, and a complimentary tongue scraper.

There's also the Founder's Edition Plus Bundle (£368/$399), which adds a 12-month Feno Plus subscription for enhanced oral health insights, whilst the top-tier Elite Oral Health Bundle (£479/$519) also includes an at-home Salivary Microbiome Insight Test that analyses the bacteria in your mouth.

All of the bundles are available through Feno's online store as well as Amazon, but it's important to know that every order currently ships from the US.

If you're ordering internationally, you'll likely be waiting between one and three weeks for delivery, whereas US customers benefit from free shipping.

Scan and set up

As the Smartbrush is built around a personalised fit, the setup process actually begins before the toothbrush even arrives. Shortly after placing my order, I received an email asking me to download the companion app, create an account, and scan my mouth using my smartphone. The whole process took less than a minute, and the scans were automatically uploaded so Feno could manufacture a mouthpiece tailored specifically to my teeth.

A few weeks later, my personalised bundle arrived. Inside the box was the Smartbrush handle, two different sized TrueFit Mouthpieces, three tubes of Feno Foam toothpaste, a tongue scraper, and the magnetic Feno Snap Charger.

From there, I charged the Smartbrush using the Snap Charger, which took around two hours to reach full battery. Once charged, I simply clipped the TrueFit Mouthpiece onto the SmartHandle until it clicked securely into place.

I then returned to the app, entered the pairing code displayed on the brush, connected it to Wi-Fi, and followed the remaining setup instructions. Within a few minutes, everything was ready to go.

Design and features

As mentioned, the Feno Smartbrush looks nothing like a conventional electric toothbrush. Instead of cleaning one tooth at a time, it uses a custom-made U-shaped TrueFit Mouthpiece that fits over both your upper and lower teeth simultaneously. Just like a standard brush head, it will last you around three months.

Inside the mouthpiece are around 18,000 soft nylon bristles, which is significantly more than the roughly 2,500 found on a traditional electric toothbrush. Combined with the SmartHandle's motor, this allows every tooth to be brushed at the same time in a single 20-second cleaning cycle.

It's certainly a very different approach, but it completely removes the need for the standard two-minute brushing routine we've all grown up with.

The SmartHandle also houses a built-in high-definition oral scanner which can analyse data to build personalised oral health reports. The app also tracks brushing performance and offers AI-powered recommendations, whilst users who subscribe to Feno Plus gain access to additional coaching and deeper oral health insights.

Battery life is lasts around a week between charges, which isn't revolutionary, but feels reasonable given everything the brush is doing.

Performance

The Feno Smartbrush definitely took a bit of getting used to, but once I got into the swing of things, I have to say I really enjoyed using it. Its biggest advantage is undoubtedly how it reduces the amount of time you're meant to brush for, as well as the worry of whether you've actually reached every part of your mouth. If those are two things that cause you concern often, you'll probably get on really well with it.

Before getting started, I had to choose between the two mouthpiece sizes. I found the smaller one worked much better for me, as it didn't press against the back of my gums as much. I also settled on the 30-second brushing mode, as the 20-second option just felt a little too quick. With only 10 seconds between them, I'd much rather spend the extra time making sure my teeth were properly cleaned.

When I first started using it, I noticed a bit of bleeding, which is always slightly alarming when you take good care of your teeth. However, I quickly read that the Smartbrush reaches areas that your regular toothbrush might not, so a little initial bleeding isn't unusual and should settle down as your gums adjust.

The brushing experience itself is also... quite juddery. The vibrations are strong enough to make your cheeks wobble a little, but it never felt uncomfortable or painful, especially once I'd settled on the correct mouthpiece size. Whilst brushing, you simply move the handle in gentle circular motions to make sure every surface is covered, and the Smartbrush automatically switches off once you've reached the end of your chosen timer.

I also really liked the Feno Foam toothpaste, which works well with the mouthpiece. It's minty but not overpowering, and the foaming texture feels nice compared to a paste. However, Feno makes it clear that you can still use the Smartbrush with your regular toothpaste too, which is great to know.

After around a week of using it, I was pleased with the results, and it never felt like I was compromising on cleanliness by switching away from a traditional electric toothbrush. My teeth felt clean after every brush, and it seemed like most areas of my mouth were being thoroughly reached.

I wouldn't say it completely revolutionised my oral care or left me feeling like I'd just walked out of a hygienist appointment, but the results were consistently good and exactly what I'd expect from a quality electric toothbrush.

Verdict

The Feno Smartbrush won't be for everyone, but if you've ever found yourself rushing your brushing routine or wondering whether you've actually cleaned every part of your mouth, it makes a very convincing case for itself. It's easy to use, surprisingly effective, and provides similar results to a traditional electric toothbrush – just in half the time. Its different design means it takes some getting used to, but once you've settled in, it's hard not to appreciate the convenience.

Alternatives to consider

There really isn't anything quite like the Feno Smartbrush on the market, aside from a handful of similarly designed alternatives you'll find on Amazon or Temu. However, if you'd prefer to stick with a more traditional electric toothbrush, I'd highly recommend the Oral-B iO6.

Alternatively, the Suri 2.0 is another excellent choice, particularly if you travel regularly. It's far more compact, offers a significantly longer battery life than the Feno, and still delivers fantastic everyday brushing performance.

Looking for a new summer fragrance? Well, the latest men’s fragrance launches from June 2026 are full of bright, warm-weather notes that are perfect for your upcoming holiday.

You can expect citrus, floral and aquatic notes, but June 2026 has also seen some unusual ingredients, including carrots, beetroot, butternut squash and coffee!

To find your summer scent, here are the best seven men’s fragrance launches from June 2026, including the likes of Tom Ford, Bulgari, Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier and more.

Men’s fragrances from June 2026

As someone who reviews everything from the best coffee machines to robot vacuums, there are certain products that inevitably end up being delegated to my long-suffering partner. The best body groomers fall firmly into that category, and whilst I was technically overseeing the testing process, it's fair to say my role involved inspecting the results from a respectful distance and trying not to laugh.

The Manspot Body Trimmer is one of a growing number of affordable grooming tools promising a smoother and less stressful manscaping experience. With waterproofing, ceramic blades and a wallet-friendly price tag, it certainly ticks plenty of boxes on paper.

After several weeks of testing – mostly carried out by my partner, much to his delight – here's how the Manspot Body Trimmer performed.

Price and availbility

It doesn't get much cheaper than the Manspot Body Trimmer, which comes in at just £21.99 on Amazon. The Manspot version is available in either black or a stylish khaki green, whilst there's also a Ladyspot model offered in pink or purple.

Slightly unnecessary gendered marketing, but at least there are a few colour options to choose from.

Design and features

The Manspot Body Trimmer is designed as an all-in-one grooming tool for body hair, with a clear focus on comfort and ease of use in more sensitive areas. It has an ergonomic shape that sits comfortably in the hand, whilst the textured finish provides plenty of grip. It's also fully waterproof, allowing you to use it wet or dry and rinse it clean afterwards.

The trimmer uses a high-performance motor paired with an anti-cut blade system that's designed to minimise irritation, nicks and razor burn. The blades themselves are made from ceramic and aerospace-grade materials, which Manspot claims improve both durability and comfort during use. They're also intended to be more hygienic than some traditional blade materials, making them well suited to regular grooming.

The trimmer ships with four guide combs offering cutting lengths of 1.5mm, 3mm, 3-6mm and 9-12mm. The shortest guard delivers a very close trim, whilst the longer options give you a bit more flexibility depending on the look you're after.

Manspot claims the battery can last for up to 20 grooming sessions, or around 90 minutes of runtime from a single charge. Charging takes around 2.5 hours and is handled via USB-C, and there's also a small cleaning brush included in the box.

Performance

My partner actually started testing the Manspot Body Trimmer on his face first, simply to get a feel for how the trimmer handled. That said, I wouldn't recommend regularly using a body trimmer as your main facial grooming tool, as it's specifically designed for more sensitive areas of the body. If facial shaving is your priority, you're much better off sticking with one of the best electric shavers.

His first impression was how comfortable the trimmer felt in the hand. The ergonomic shape makes it easy to manoeuvre, whilst the soft-touch silicone provides plenty of grip. It feels secure to hold, which is particularly important if you're using it in the shower where things can quickly become slippery.

He also liked the blade width, which strikes a nice balance between covering larger areas efficiently whilst still being precise enough for more detailed grooming. Swapping between the included guards is equally straightforward thanks to the simple clip-on, clip-off design.

Moving onto the rest of his body, he was pleasantly surprised by the overall performance. Whilst it doesn't quite match the refinement of premium options like the Wahl Manscaper, it comfortably performs above what its price tag would suggest. The trimmer followed body contours well, delivered a neat trim and, most importantly, managed to avoid any uncomfortable pinches or nicks.

One thing he did note is that the Manspot Body Trimmer is fairly compact. Whilst that means it doesn't cover large areas quite as quickly as some bigger rivals, it makes it an excellent option to take travelling. As a result, it would have been nice to see Manspot include a travel pouch or storage case in the box, but considering the price, it's hardly a dealbreaker.

Verdict

The Manspot Body Trimmer is a budget-friendly grooming tool that prioritises comfort and safety over premium refinement. It performs reliably for everyday body grooming, especially in sensitive areas, and whilst it doesn’t quite reach the smooth efficiency of higher-end competitors, it still delivers impressive results for its price. Its compact size also makes it travel-friendly, though the lack of a storage pouch is a small but noticeable omission.

Alternatives to consider

If you're looking for another affordable body groomer, I'd also recommend the Philips Series 3000 Bodygroomer. It delivers an impressively smooth shave for the money and feels remarkably similar to Philips' more premium Series 7000 models, despite costing just over £40.

I also couldn't finish without mentioning the Wahl Manscaper, which remains our favourite body groomer overall. Not only is it competitively priced, but it combines a lightweight build with a comfortable rubberised grip and a handy LED display that shows both the selected cutting length and remaining battery life.

I travel a lot for work, and for obvious reasons, I take my electric toothbrush with me on all my trips. But after one journey, I got into my hotel room, unpacked my toiletries and found that my electric toothbrush was completely dead, even though I’d charged it beforehand.

After little deducing, I realised that when I’d packed my electric toothbrush, the contents in my bag must have accidentally pressed against the on/off button. So, while I was sitting on the plane, my toothbrush was working away, brushing absolutely nothing and draining the battery in the process.

I know what you’re thinking: this is why you put your electric toothbrush in its travel case – and you’d be right. Removing the brush head from the main body of the toothbrush, and storing it in its travel pouch helps guarantee your toothbrush won’t turn on and buzz away for hours, meaning you won’t lose use of it when you get to your destination.

But whether your electric toothbrush comes with a travel case or not, many of today’s electric toothbrushes don’t have detachable heads, in an effort to be more sustainable and create less waste. If this is the case for you, I recently found this ‘hidden’ travel lock feature which prevents your electric toothbrush from turning on accidentally – if only I’d known about this before!

The buttons on your electric toothbrush do a lot more than you might think. Aside from switching modes and turning on and off, your electric toothbrush’s controls can also ‘lock’ your toothbrush so you can save your battery and prolong the lifespan of its technology.

For most electric toothbrushes, you can activate the travel lock by pressing and holding the power button for up to five seconds. To ‘unlock’ your electric toothbrush, simply do the same. But some models are different, so I’ve listed how to use the travel lock on your toothbrush for Philips, Oral-B and SURI users.

How to use the travel lock on Philips electric toothbrushes

Philips electric toothbrushes all have similar methods for activating the travel lock. For Sonicare and ExpertClean models – we’re fans of the Philips Sonicare 7100 at T3 – you simply press and hold the power button for three seconds. To let you know the travel lock is on, the battery light will flash or a lock icon will show. Your toothbrush will also make a beeping noise.

The Philips DiamondClean brushes, like the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9900 Prestige, require you to press down the mode button instead of the power button.

How to use the travel lock on Oral-B electric toothbrushes

As Oral-B electric toothbrushes have gotten more advanced with each new generation, there are a couple of ways to turn on the travel lock. If your Oral-B iO toothbrush has a touchscreen, you can scroll through the settings to select the travel lock option. Alternatively, hold the power button for five seconds until a lock icon appears and the LED light around the head flashes.

For more recent Oral-B iO brushes, like the Oral-B iO6 and above, you can turn the travel lock on and off by using the Oral-B app. If your toothbrush is under iO6, like the Oral-B iO3, you’ll need to stick to holding down the power button – the same can be said for Pro and Smart toothbrushes.

How to use the travel lock on SURI electric toothbrushes

If you have a SURI toothbrush like the SURI 2.0, you simply need to press and hold the power button for five seconds. Above the button is a light which will flash orange to indicate it’s locked. The brush itself will also vibrate and beep.
