Sometimes the fastest way to feel clean is with an effective body scrub, massaged all over damp skin and rinsed off to reveal smoother, glowing limbs.
Especially in the summer, when we’re ditching the long trousers and sleeves, and dull skin or dry patches become more visible.
Not forgetting, of course, it’s an essential step if you’re a self-tanner, as unbuffed skin can cause tanning products to cling to drier areas.

It’s especially a good time to invest in a manual body scrub when heatwaves hit, as the constant sweating can leave your skin feeling sticky and clammy. Buffing away dead skin cells, suncream, and deodorant can be the quick fix your complexion needs.
Fortunately, there are loads of body scrubs to shop for, made with finely milled salts, enzyme powders and botanical scents to leave your skin glowing.

As a beauty journalist who is obsessed with silky smooth skin, I use a body scrub religiously twice a week, so I know exactly what works and what’s not worth your time.
To help you find the right one for your shower routine, I’ve handpicked the all-time greats, from budget-friendly high street picks to luxurious body treatments that are worth the splurge.
Consider this your warm-weather skin reset, and the start of your smoothest summer yet.
Naturium KP Scrub & Mask
There’s no body product as transformative as this. It’s an abrasive scrub that’s in a thick paste (make sure to give the tube a good squeeze when you’re pouring it into your hand) that’s made to be spread all over, left for a few minutes, then rinsed off.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, will leave your skin smoother or softer as fast. It’s made with jojoba esters, pumice, and AHA, BHA, and PHA chemical exfoliants, and is fragrance-free.
One use of this and you’ll feel like a totally new person.
Affordable beauty brand Q+A has plenty of gems in its line-up, but this gentle body exfoliator is one of my favourites.
It has a delicious coconut, amber, and vanilla scent that smells like a luxurious perfume and has enough abrasiveness to give your limbs a good polish, but isn’t scratchy, harsh, or hard to clean off the sides of your shower.

The blend of AHAs, lactic acid, glycolic acid, and upcycled corn is formulated in a creamy base that makes spreading it all over your body a simple task, and easy to rinse off in a matter of seconds.
This dual-purpose scrub can be used on your face and body, and is the gentlest of them all.
It contains very fine bamboo stem particles, alongside glycolic acid, caffeine and macadamia seed oil, which lightly slough off dead skin cells without leaving you wincing.
It’s a great everyday one that isn’t overly abrasive and suits my sensitive, eczema-prone skin, too.

I can’t get enough of the refreshing peppermint scent either.
Rinse off and slather on your favourite body lotion for glowing skin, head to toe.
If you love a sticky-sweet, gourmand scent in your body care, this is the scrub for you.
Made by consultant dermatologist Dr Alexis Granite, you’re in good hands with this formula.

The main exfoliant is sugar and chia seeds, in a base of plant-derived butters and oils, so it has a thick, rich, creamy texture that lathers nicely and doesn’t leave you feeling itchy.
It gets bonus points for the creamy, chocolatey, floral fragrance – it’s so good I could eat it.
This has been around for years, but it remains a regular part of my shower routine for its creamy, skin-smoothing texture, fresh scent, and speedy way to exfoliate dead skin cells.
It comes in a convenient tube, so you don’t need to try to open a tub with wet hands or make a mess scooping it out.

One use is all you’ll need to see a difference in skin texture.
While this black gel may look alarming, it’s one of the best body scrubs for my sensitive skin, and it doesn’t stain the sides of my shower.
The ‘scrub’ is made from volcanic pumice particles, along with peppermint, bergamot, and kalin clay, which not only buffs skin to a smooth, silk-soft finish but also absorbs excess oil and hydrates skin in need of some TLC.

US military pushes companies to ‘dramatically accelerate’ weapons production as Iran war burns through supply, memo says
In a memo on Wednesday, Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg gave companies three weeks to lay out how they would “drive significantly faster, more aggressive delivery schedules and/or increased production for critical capabilities.”
“Years-long development cycles are not acceptable,” Feinberg added in the memo, which was obtained by The Washington Post. “We must dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our production capacity now.”

What compensation does Iran want from the US to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
The head of Iran’s supreme national security council, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, has said that the Strait of Hormuz will remain shut until the US meets six conditions.
In comments carried by Iran’s IRNA news agency on Saturday, Zolghadr laid out his terms.

Included in full, in his words, these were:
Never threaten Iran with any language or insult the sanctities of this nation
End the war and aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq forever
Lift the naval blockade and withdraw its military forces (naval and air) from around Iran
Pay the damages of the two wars of aggression and imposition on Iran without any reduction or reduction
Lift the cruel and illegal sanctions against the Iranian nation
Unconditionally release the frozen and stolen assets of the Iranian people

Trump’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs seeking ‘off-ramp’ from Iran war, report says
Caine has privately told other top administration officials that the country needs to find a way to exit the war, according to CNN, which cited three sources familiar with the matter.
Despite Trump claiming throughout the war that a peace deal, which would include his demand that Iran never obtain a nuclear weapon, was within reach, fighting has continued for more than five months.

Iran says strait won’t open until the US ‘corrects’ behaviour
Iran’s politburo-like body known as the Supreme National Security Council said the Strait of Hormuz will not open until the United States “corrects its behavior,” issuing new demands that could shake up talks on a deal to manage the waterway and traffic on it.
Iran’s state broadcaster published the statement by the council’s secretary, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, who is also a commander in the powerful Revolutionary Guard.

The U.S. must never threaten Iran again, the statement said, and must permanently end the war with Iran and its armed allies in the region.
The U.S. must lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports and withdraw its military from the area. It also must “completely compensate” Iran for war damage, lift sanctions and “unconditionally” release frozen assets.
There was no immediate comment from the U.S., which has wanted an acceptable deal first on the strait before ending the blockade.

Fire extinguished at Aramco refinery in Jazan, Saudi Arabia says
Firefighters extinguished a fire that broke out early on Sunday at a facility at Aramco’s Jazan refinery in southwestern Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Energy Ministry said, adding that there were no injuries.
Aramco’s industrial security teams had brought the fire under control and the relevant authorities were completing procedures to deal with the incident, the ministry said on X. It did not say what caused the fire.
Jazan is on the Red Sea near the border with Yemen.

The Jazan refinery processes 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day and produces refined products including gasoline and ultra-light sulfur diesel.
Aramco shut down the refinery on 27 July following an attack by Yemen’s Houthi militants that damaged the plant’s Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) complex and tank farm area, according to a note from consultancy IIR seen by Reuters.
The Houthis said at the time they had struck Aramco sites in Jazan and Yanbu.

Iraq discusses oil export arrangement with Iran, minister says
Iraq is in talks with Iran on an arrangement to allow Iraqi oil exports, but the mechanism has not yet been activated, the country’s oil minister Basim Mohammed said on Saturday.
He gave no details on the proposed route, expected volumes, or a timeline for the arrangement.
Iraq currently produces about 2.7 million barrels per day and exports roughly half of that amount, the minister said during a press conference, adding that export capacity this month is capped at 1.5 million to 1.75 million bpd.

Fallout from war in Iran is leaving millions vulnerable to hunger
The economic fallout from the regional conflict has driven up food and fuel prices, while more than four months of conflict with Iran has driven renewed escalation in Yemen, compounding one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
More than half the population were already facing hunger, but slow progress from world leaders to re-open the Strait has caused months of disruption to global food and energy supplies, disrupting humanitarian aid operations.

Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia’s defence pact technically same as Nato Article 5, Turkish minister says
A defence pact signed between Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is technically the same as Nato’s Article 5 mutual defence agreement, Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday, adding the accord was not targeting Iran.
Fidan also said Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan wanted to see the alliance expand, and that Egypt was a potential candidate to join, among others.

The regional powers signed the “Mecca Joint Defence Agreement” on Friday, wedding Sunni Muslim US allies alarmed at a regional conflagration that has brought Iranian missile fire onto Gulf oil exporters.
In a joint statement, they said the accord intended to strengthen collective deterrence against any act of aggression and stipulates that an armed attack against any of the three would be regarded as an attack on all.

UAE oil tanker attacked by missile in Strait of Hormuz
The United Arab Emirates condemned an Iranian missile attack on its carrier as it passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, accusing Tehran of “acts of piracy”.
State news agency WAM initially reported ADNOC as saying one of its vessels had been targeted by a missile early on Saturday and that the situation was under control.
The UAE Foreign Ministry later condemned what it called “the hostile Iranian attack” on an ADNOC vessel.
Neither statement gave details on the tanker, its cargo or possible damage. No injuries were reported.

The ministry said the attack violated a U.N. Security Council resolution on freedom of navigation and accused Iran’s Revolutionary Guards of “acts of piracy” by targeting commercial shipping and using the waterway as a tool of economic pressure.
It called on Iran to halt the attacks and reopen the strait fully and unconditionally.

Turkey says its defence deal with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is not aimed at any third country
A defence agreement that Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey signed on Friday is not aimed against any third country, Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan said.
It says an attack on one would be considered an attack on all three.
Fidan told Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency on Saturday that the countries do not view any state as an adversary unless it takes hostile action against them: “We don’t have anything written down — nothing we’ve signed – that defines a common threat.”
Asked how the mutual defense mechanism would work, Fidan said a member would formally request help and the two countries’ assistance could range from intelligence-sharing to logistics support or the deployment of military units.

The mechanism would establish a secretariat to be based in Saudi Arabia, Fidan said.
He said other nations, which he did not name, have expressed interest in joining the agreement, adding that he expects Egypt, which he described as a “natural partner,” to participate “at the next stage.”
The village is full of character properties, with houses costing an average of £845,000
Many Tudor figures settled in parts of Cambridgeshire, such as Catherine of Aragon when she was banished to Kimbolton by Henry VIII, and then later buried at Peterborough Cathedral. Henry VIII also visited Cambridge University many times.

The county is also made up of historic buildings constructed in the Tudor era. One village where a grand Tudor manor once stood is Kirtling.
Kirtling Manor, now known as Kirtling Tower, was built in 1530 by Edward North, a close advisor to Henry VIII. With the help of architect Francis Adams, the manor was renamed Kirtling Hall.
Tudor features were added to the manor including a gatehouse, gallery, lodgings, a banqueting house, garden, large water features and ponds. In 1578, Queen Elizabeth I stayed there as a guest of Roger North. This was during her procession across Cambridgeshire.
Over the next hundreds of years, the castle continued to develop, even past the Tudor period. By the 1660s, the manor was the largest country house in Cambridgeshire. However, after 1691 the house went into decline and by 1735, it was described as being “in disorder”.
Advertisement
Most of the house was pulled down by 1748. By the 1770s it wasn’t able to be lived in and by 1801, most of it was pulled down. In the 1830s, the gatehouse was turned into a residential property and it was renamed Kirtling Tower. Today, people can still visit the tower.
The tower is part of the National Garden Scheme and whilst the tower isn’t open to the public, people can visit the large formal gardens surrounding it. They feature a moat, an ornamental walled garden, a beautiful rose garden and even secret gardens.
As well as its historical significance, there is much more on offer in the quiet village of Kirtling. The village, which lies on the Cambridgeshire and Suffolk border, is surrounded by what seems like never-ending countryside and mixed woodland, making it a great place to walk.
A great place to relax and have a bite to eat is The Red Lion pub. This is the only pub in the village and it’s described as the “perfect place to meet family and friends”. It offers real ales, delicious wines and “mouth-watering” food, as well as stunning countryside views.

Kirtling is full of character properties that come with a high price tag. The average house in Kirtling costs £845,000. However, the unspoilt countryside and quiet rural life that the village offers makes up for the high price tag.
EXCLUSIVE: A lawyer shared the best way to approach “unreasonable interferences” with your neighbours – with using other people’s bin often at the centre of complaints
A lawyer has revealed what rights people have if a neighbour repeatedly puts rubbish in their bin. A previous Churchill Home Insurance survey, reported by Aviva, found that 5.8 million Brits (11%) had argued with their neighbours over rubbish over a 12-month period.
Advertisement
Lawyer Joanne Ellis, partner and specialist in dispute resolution at Stephensons Solicitors, said a one-off incident is unlikely to justify legal action, but repeated behaviour could potentially be classed as an unreasonable interference.
She explained: “Most people would not be happy to discover a neighbour is regularly using their bin without permission, particularly if it leaves them struggling for space themselves.
“While an isolated incident is unlikely to justify legal action, repeated behaviour can understandably cause disputes and may raise issues around trespass, nuisance or anti-social behaviour depending on the circumstances,” she added.
Joanne said that the best approach is to address the issue directly with your neighbour at an early stage, if you feel comfortable doing so. If you would prefer to avoid a face-to-face confrontation, this could be done by writing a letter, with the hope of improving the situation “before frustration builds and relationships deteriorate further.”
“Persistent bad smells can quickly become a source of tension between neighbours, particularly during the warmer weather,” she said.
“Ongoing smells from rubbish, waste or poor property maintenance may amount to a legal nuisance if they unreasonably interfere with someone’s use or enjoyment of their home.
Advertisement
“Where a neighbour is not taking reasonable steps to address the problem, the local authority may be able to investigate and, in appropriate cases, take enforcement action,” she added.
“The question is whether the issue goes beyond everyday inconvenience and becomes an unreasonable interference with someone else’s use and enjoyment of their property,” she explained.
What qualifies as an unreasonable interference?
Joanne explained: “Generally, this means that a person’s actions go beyond what neighbours can reasonably be expected to tolerate. These are things that substantially affect another person’s ability to use their home or land normally.”
Advertisement
She added: “So for instance, if your neighbour was consistently deciding to play loud music at 1am in the morning or had set up a new business operating loud machinery at all hours of the day. The difficultly sometimes is that this is an objective not subjective test and is always a balancing exercise for the court.”
Official guidance recommends speaking to your neighbour first if you have a bin dispute, before involving the council. If the problem continues, keeping photographs and a record of when the issue occurs could help support any investigation.
Commenting on the findings from the Aviva survey, Martin Scott, head of Churchill home insurance said: “Living next to a poorly maintained property or a pile of rubbish can not only have an impact on you both emotionally and financially, but could also affect the long-term value of your home if you were to sell in the future.

“Council enforcement of environmental regulations is crucial to ensure the actions of antisocial neighbours don’t blight the lives of others. If a direct and reasonable conversation isn’t able to resolve the situation, it could be worth contacting your local council to either arrange mediation or put in place an enforcement order so your neighbours clean up their act.”
The 32-year-old went on to win 38 trophies with Barcelona, including 10 league titles and four European cups.
She was awarded back-to-back Ballon d’Or crowns in 2021 and 2022 and is favourite to win it again this year.
Internationally, she helped Spain win the 2023 World Cup and finish runners-up at Euro 2025.
But Putellas is not done. When asked if she can still get better, she laughed and said: “Yeah, of course. Always. Day after day, I want to learn things.

“That’s the way I see this job. Just keep going, never stop and be as good as I can.”
She described the journey she has embarked on at London City Lionesses as one that can help her “find where my limits are” as a footballer.
Putellas is enjoying pre-season but her focus never fully switches off.
“It’s all about Manchester United,” she says as she looks ahead to London City’s season opener on 4 September (19:00 BST).

She has given up Champions League football to join London City, an independent women’s-only club in its infancy. Will she need to adapt her mindset?
“Both can live together, my mentality and the moment of the project. I’m going to bring to the project whatever it needs from me,” she added.
“I’m 100% committed. I’m hungry to win, I’m hungry to be better day after day and to fight with my team-mates for the victory.”
Her competitiveness shines through in every conversation.

She is handed a present – a game based on the London underground – by BBC Sport.
“Oh yes, I will play with Freya Godfrey, then I can win. I will tell her that,” she jokes.
That winning mentality has never changed – but she gained a new perspective when an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury ruled her out of Euro 2022 on the eve of the tournament.
“Since the ACL injury, I enjoy everything. It’s not enjoying just having fun, it’s about learning something, and then I enjoy learning that thing,” she added.

“I’m just a person who loves what she does. I love competition, I love football, I love training, I love to improve.
“I’m just always looking forward to better things and that’s why I’m here too, because I always need to be moving as a person and a player.”

The Red Arrows’ single-engine Hawk aircraft have a limited range and cannot carry out air-to-air refuelling, the RAF said.
As such, crossing the Atlantic has to be done in stages and requires having the correct RAF support aircraft, including search-and-rescue cover and those carrying essential technical equipment, in the right place, at the right time.

Weather in north-east Canada has been “particularly challenging”, the air force said, adding that the team will now have to begin its multi-leg journey back to the UK from next week.

“It is now anticipated this Atlantic crossing will be able to begin again from late next week based on more favourable conditions.
“Regrettably, this revised timeline means the Red Arrows will not be in a position to complete performances at Airbourne: Eastbourne International Airshow, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo and Lyme Regis Lifeboat Week.

Wing commander Sasha Nash, officer commanding RAF Aerobatic Team, added: “We are very sorry the Red Arrows cannot participate at these events and we are grateful to organisers and communities for their understanding.

Tributes have poured in after the death of ‘immensely talented musician’ Nathan Smith who was hit by a tractor while walking.
Smith’s family have paid tribute to the musician, whose Stoke-on-Trent band MFK supported the Wombats.
The 45-year-old dad, who lived in Hartshill, was involved in the crash with a tractor on Shelton New Road in Cliffe Vale on Wednesday morning, the police said.
His devastated family said in a statement: ‘Nathan was a self-taught electric bass player, who played in various Stoke bands and ran the UTC recording studio in Longton with his friend and fellow Big Cash Prizes band member, Tom Bath.

‘He will be missed enormously by so many people.’
His parents wrote about their son on social media: ‘He was an immensely talented musician, a wonderful father, and an incredible human being who was adored by his family and friends.

‘He was the light of our lives and we are absolutely brokenhearted.’
Tributes have poured in from friends and those who knew Smith, and his neighbours left roses on his car in the village where he lived.
A friend wrote on social media: ‘What a great man he was. Charm, integrity, talent and a sincere desire to help anyone in need. It was a pleasure to know you, Nath. My sincerest of condolences to your family and friends. RIP.’
One person said: ‘Sad news. Used to go to Fenton sixth form with Nath and hung out with him at gigs and many a night out. Always had a friendly word for everyone. Rest in peace mate. Thoughts are with his family and friends.’
Police say they are concerned regarding the whereabouts of a 5-year-old boy this morning.
