In her viral video, TikTok user Jen (@jensinesvida) explained that she was recovering from illness.

“This week was tough, the flu hit us all,” she told her followers in the clip’s caption.

Jen turned her head to show how puffy her face had become as a result.

“Watch me get my jawline back after a stressful week,” the TikToker said.

She began by using her hands to knead the skin on her lower neck and upper chest.

Jen then pressed her fingers between her temple and ears and moved them in circular motions.

She then massaged her nasolabial folds and her inner eyes with her fingers.

For her next step, she used a gua sha, available for just 69p from Temu.

To help it glide across her face, she recommended using “any face oil or moisturiser”.

Jen pressed the beauty buy to the centre of her chin and dragged it up to her ear.

She repeated the process multiple times on both sides of her face.

Next, she dragged the gua sha just under her jawline and pulled it down her neck.

Once she had repeated this several times on both sides, she dragged the gua sha across her cheekbones.

She also used it to depuff her under eyes, moving the gua sha over and back.

Jen cupped her chin between her thumb and index finger and moved her hand down her neck.

Top beauty trends for 2025

Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025.

Haircare

Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment. 

Hair glosses are multifunctional as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025’s core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up. 

2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. 

Skincare

Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance the skin’s appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. “Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to a achieve flawless, youthful complexion. 

Skincare routines will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine. 

Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving makeup and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant. 

Makeup 

Makeup trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin. 

Makeup looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks. 

Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect. 

Nails

2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails.

She then used both hands to pull the skin back from the centre of her chin towards her ears.

Finally she used the backs of her hands and ran them down her neck again.

Jen then turned her face to the side to show her followers her jawline, which was now clearly visible compared to before.

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the lymphatic drainage technique in the comments section.

“What kind of magic just happened?” asked one impressed commenter.

“Girl, I’ve been looking for YEARS for someone to just do a simple routine for the whole face and you did just that,” said another viewer.

“Girl, you finally convinced me to get a gua sha after five years,” wrote a third person.

Michael O’Sullivan was taken far too soon – but lost his life doing what he loved

LOVED. Talented. Liked. Young. 

As most of you will be aware by now, jockey Michael O’Sullivan passed over the weekend being all the above.

Racing will remember Michael O’Sullivan as a supremely talented jockey – but also an incredibly likeable, smart and respected young man[/caption]

His loss will be felt by his family and friends forever. 

Racing fans will miss watching a lad who was bred for the game and had so much more to show.

Jockeys don’t become riders for our enjoyment. 

But as watchers and people who love this game we all appreciate the dangers involved.

No jockey is forced to ply their trade. But they do so knowing that any ride could result in a serious injury or, as in this case, worse.

Michael – who was remembered as a ‘beautiful person’ – fell at Thurles on February 6. A head trauma meant from that day he was in an induced coma in the intensive care unit at Cork University. 

He never regained consciousness.

It makes you wonder why anyone would become a jockey. Why take such risks?

“For me it’s the simplest of answers to any question – the horses themselves,” leading rider Sam Twiston-Davies told me.

“You get to meet so many horses. You like some. You hate some. You love some. You get every emotion you can imagine and when you find one that is very good there is no better feeling. It’s truly for me why I wanted to become a jockey.”

Nico de Boinville said similar, adding: “It’s the love of horses and probably being slightly mad.”

British champion Harry Cobden said: “Nothing can compare to the thrill of riding a winner – it overpowers all the undulations in our sport as a jockey.

“I grew up watching AP McCoy and Ruby Walsh on the telly, and from the age of nine it was all I ever wanted to be.”

Michael was a Cheltenham Festival hero, landing the 2023 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle on Marine Nationale. 

Without doubt, he was a man who would have showed us much more of his skills in the years ahead. His career was just starting.

On the occasions I was lucky enough to interview Michael – including for ITV Racing after his emotional victory on Marine Nationale – he came across as the kind of guy you would always listen to. 

He was emotional. Here was a man who thought about his words, and articulated them with care.

Wee Charlie, the horse Michael came down from, had provided his rider with a fabulous win at Galway back in September of last year. 

In many ways they were good friends. Ultimately their final outing together ended in tragedy. 

But Michael was born to ride horses. It’s what he loved doing. And crikey he was good at it.

It’s clear when you read what Sam, Nico and Harry have said that Michael would not have wanted his life to have gone down any other route. 

He was living his dream – the dream of most jockeys.

It’s just gutting that at the age of 24 he has been taken far too soon. Everyone will miss him.

Elsewhere, former Grand National hero Noble Yeats might well be off for a little hunting, for all he’s not at Aintree this year.

It was about six weeks ago that trainer Emmet Mullins revealed Noble Yeats, the 2022 Aintree hero who was fourth in the 2023 Cheltenham Gold Cup, was being sent back to his owner Robert Waley-Cohen’s base.

The latter’s son, Sam, who rode Noble Yeats to National success, was at Ascot on Saturday and said: “Noble Yeats has got a few aches and pains but we are not thinking of retirement at this stage.

“Hopefully he will be back next season and he might do some hunting at some stage. We are still very hopeful he will be back on the track at some stage.”

Love Island fans in disbelief after discovering what Chuggs calls his parents in All Stars Unseen episode

CHUGG Wallis is getting used to life outside of the Love Island villa, after being dumped last week.

But in an unaired clip from All Stars, the reality star, 26, was seen making a surprising confession about what he calls his parents.

Thanks to his parents, the reality star grew up in a £1.2m mansion in Surrey with his brothers Austin and Miles.

Now in a unseen clip from All Stars onto the Love Island Instagram account, Chuggs – real name Oliver Wallis – revealed what he calls his parents.

In a conversation with the boys, he said: “Yeah, I call them mummy and daddy.”

The other lads were shocked by this and started to laugh, with Sammy retorting; “I’d be thrown out of the house if I called my dad, ‘daddy’.”

Chuggs is very close to his family, and often posts pictures with them at their big country house.

JET SET LIFE

Thanks to his well off parents, Chuggs enjoys a jet set life which has seen him visit some of the most beautiful locations in the world.

He’s touched down in destinations including Canada, Barbados, Thailand, Dubai, South Africa, and Greece.

The rugby lad is also partial to cooler climes and has been spotted in a French ski resort in other snaps.

The star is one of three brothers and is seen posing for photos with siblings Austin and Miles alongside their parents.

Chuggs – who went to private school Reed’s – also has a love of expensive cars and can often be seen on Instagram behind the wheel of his fancy 4×4.

CHUGGS’ LOVE ISLAND JOURNEY

Over the years Chuggs has become part of the Love Island furniture.

Since his first stint on the show he has remained best pals with season 7 legends like Liam Reardon, Aaron Francis, Millie Court and Chloe Burrows.

Chuggs was the second islander to be evicted in 2021.

The Oxford Brookes graduate lost his place after newbie Rachel Finni decided to couple up with hunky labourer Brad McClelland instead.

Taking his exit in good humour, he joked would go down in the history books as being the only Love Island contestant to only share a bed with men after he failed to couple-up with anyone

Sadly his second time in the villa also didn’t go well.

He made his return to Love Island last month as a bombshell alongside Samie Elish.

However, he failed to make any strong connection in the villa, and was dumped alongside Tina Stinnes.
