It’s autumn and the kids have gone back to school. Your flip-flops and sarong are soon to be but a distant memory and the days are getting shorter and darker. So how can we ensure that we stay on top of things and in good spirits? It’s simple: by making sure we are well stocked up with the latest must-haves in our beauty regime. London’s Harrods-based Urban Retreat has just launched some fantastic capsule ranges guaranteed to brighten up any grey day…

Face Value Anastasia Achilleos has developed an all-round moisturiser that protects against environmental damage and moisture loss and is suitable for all skin types. It contains Vitamin E and Rooibos tea extract to soothe and provide significant antioxidant benefits, while Sodium Hyaluronate (which holds more than 1,000 times its own weight in water), Jojoba and Rosehip oils maintain optimum hydration levels. A delicate fragrance is evoked from Rose Otto oil and Ylang Ylang.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
