Relieve dry eyes in seconds with new Instant Relief Eye Spray from Peep Club (£15). Modern living, and particularly lockdown, means that we’re spending more and more time on our phones and computers, and as you blink 6-8x less when you look at a screen, it’s no wonder that many of us are ending the day with tired and heavy eyes. The feeling of strain in your eyes after a long day of screen time is often due to Dry Eye Syndrome – a condition that is affecting up to 80% of consumers. This spray has been developed to hydrate eyes from the inside out. Formulated with wild harvested colourless sea buckthorn oil and sodium hyaluronate, both clinically proven to relieve symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome, and they work in tandem to hydrate eyes on both the inside and the outside. The spray is alcohol-free, preservative-free, vegan and made using organic and wild-harvested ingredients. It is suitable for even the most sensitive eyes, as well as being suitable for contact lens wearers and can be used over makeup. Each bottle contains around 300 doses and is available from peepclub.

The Hair and Beauty Charity are still working to support those that need their help. They have had just over £250,000 donated recently from professional beauty expert, Caroline Hirons and the Beauty Backed campaign. They have funds available for those people who do need their help; ask them if you need support.
They are a small charity and have to prioritise assistance to those who need it most urgently. Priority will be given to households where only one adult (working within the industry) provides the only income to the household (e.g. if you live with your partner who will still receive an employed wage, priority will be given to single parent families whose only income is dependent on their hair/beauty industry wage). Visit their website for more information and to make an application.
