Tilly has, over the last few years, become more and more interested in skincare and the data confirms that it's a growing trend. In the US, households with 6 to 12-year-olds spent nearly a third more on skincare in 2023 than the previous year. That's according to consumer research giant Nielsen.

Monika's pharmacy hit the headlines earlier this year when it announced it was going to put age restrictions on some of its skincare products. The plan was that children who were under 15 would not be allowed to buy skincare products meant for adults. And instead, a pharmacist would be able to direct them towards products that were more suited to their skin.

The age restriction could be one solution in a controlled environment like a pharmacy. But it's much more difficult when buying online or in big stores. But how responsible is the beauty industry? Hello. Hi, is that Millie? Millie Kendall is the CEO of the British Beauty Council, a not-for-profit organisation that represents the beauty industry in the UK.

What I'm hearing when I speak to parents and children, parents are finding it difficult to navigate. And sometimes it's not that easy to tell exactly whether that product is suitable for their child. And perhaps if there was an age restriction... It would be easier to navigate.

It's 8am in Berlin, Germany's capital city. Commuters busily making their way to the office. But how would these workers feel if they needed to take time off sick?

Trump and Netanyahu meet at the White House
Germany's generous sick leave policy means you can take six weeks off at full pay, paid for by your employer. After that, your health insurance will pay 70% of your salary for the next 18 months. But what does such a generous policy mean for the economy? Nicola Seabarth is Professor of Economics at the University of Mannheim and the Centre for European Economic Research.

Making any changes to the country's sick leave policy would certainly be unpopular with workers. But Germany is soon to hold a general election. And will the new government, with a struggling economy, feel the pressure to make some changes? We'll have to wait and see.

When you take a look at how many millions of people around the world watch the Tour de France every year, they tune in, whether that's for the sporting and the racing aspect. But many people around the world, they love to tune in because they love to watch the scenery. They like to see the chateaus in France. They like to learn a little bit about the culture, the food.

I think it's really important because the organisers of the Tour de France are able to take the Grand Depart to different locations. You take the race to the people. And so people experience the Tour de France that might otherwise never have done before. Some people might never have really heard about the Tour before. And so this is the beauty. You can take the race to them.

The Happy Pod: A gift that reopened the world
I got very messed up in my head. I was terrified to leave the house. I wasn't eating properly. I wasn't sleeping. The doctor just kept asking me to tell the story again. But I remember screaming in my head thinking, I do that all day at home. I need you to help me not do that. So I never went back. That was the only treatment I ever got.

Yes, I had chronic pain for about 25 years. And so bad that there was a couple of times I was paralyzed and rushed into the emergency room. It was agony. I had a walking stick by the time I was 27 years old. About 10 years ago, I came across a new understanding of how the mind works. And I went to London to train as a practitioner.

And when I finished the six-month course, all my pain had gone away. It was amazing. I learned about it from a friend. And as soon as I heard that I didn't have to do all these techniques and activities to control my thinking anymore, I fell in love with it because I now see that's why my body was screaming at me because I was constantly trying to fix and change how I felt.

And when I stopped doing that, the pain went away. And the basic idea for me was that I wasn't broken and didn't need fixing. Yes, my body had gotten damaged, but really the inner part of me can never be broken. everything from the pain to being anxious or fearful, we're feeling that thinking and that's what's creating our experience. I didn't know that my pain could go away.

I thought because of the damage that I'd experienced that it would be with me for the rest of my life. So when I got excited about these ideas, it wasn't to fix the pain. But as my mind slowed down, as I started to understand and I had more and more insights, my body didn't need to scream at me anymore. So the pain went away.

Yeah, they kind of see me as an amateur. I work with people with physical issues because that's my experience. I work with people with trauma and anxiety. I work with people with all kinds of mental health issues. And I haven't found any situation where this hasn't been helpful. It's been amazing. One of my very first clients had fibromyalgia and she'd had it for five or seven years.

She was in so much pain. She couldn't sit in a restaurant to eat a meal because the chair was uncomfortable. Her husband couldn't even give her a hug. After a few sessions, she started to feel better. She started to have her own insights. And by the time we finished our group of sessions, she ended up flying from Germany, where she lived, to Miami for a vacation, a dream holiday.

And she's doing great. And we're still in touch. And I know she's still doing wonderfully. I've seen all kinds of situations where people feel like their world is very small and things are hopeless. And when they understand that they were just feeling some really horrible negative thinking and that thought has passed, they're free and their bodies get free too.
