So you’re feeling smug doing your daily skincare routine because your moisturiser has ‘SPF’ on the label.

Sorry, but that’s not enough. You really do need to pop some proper sun cream on if you’re heading out in the sun.

A new report from the British Association of Dermatologists has revealed that those who use moisturisers with SPF rather than sun cream may not be adequately protecting their skin from damaging UV rays.

It’s thought that this is because we tend to spread moisturiser more thinly than we slather on sun cream.

Dermatologists have provided a set of photos to show the difference in protection a standard application of sun… Read the full story

Sit down, readers, for you are about to digest some Pulitzer-worthy journalism.

Look at the above image.

The picture was sent in by Metro.co.uk reader Terrence – so yes, this is ~exclusive~ aubergine content you’re looking at – whose wife stumbled upon it while out shopping.

‘My wife send this picture of an aubergine she bought today,’ says Terrence. ‘It is either a liar with a long nose or a well hung aubergine.

‘You decide.’

We have decided, Terrence and we have come to the conclusion that this aubergine has Big Dick Energy.

To have Big Dick Energy is to have quiet confidence without cockiness. This… Read the full story

It’s been a tough few weeks in the world of food.

There have been rumours of a halloumi shortage, a lack of carbon dioxide has put beer and fizzy drinks at risk, and even crisps are predicted a dark fate.

But thankfully this horror may be coming to an end. When it comes to crumpets, at least.

Just last week it was reported that a crumpet crisis was looming thanks to that carbon dioxide shortage. Now, five days later, the crisis has been averted and things are back to normal.

This is all because carbon dioxide is crucial for use… Read the full story

You might sing ‘It’s coming home’ every four years, but your dog sings it every day as it waits by the door for you to get home from work.

Why not include your favourite furry friend in the World Cup festivities by getting him or her a football shirt, too?

While there sadly isn’t an official England shirt for dogs (not quite sure what The FA is playing at, to be honest) there are a few unofficial shirts to choose from.

Here are a few we discovered on the world… Read the full story

Like many others this summer, I’ve been engrossed in the dramatic entertainment of the World Cup. For me, it serves as a two-fold reminder; firstly of the love I have of football, but secondly for something a lot more bitter.

It reminds me of another lost time, another missed opportunity, another memory I could have shared with my older brother, Dan. The World Cup is just one of many reminders I have experienced over the 13 years since my brother passed away.

What makes this all so bitter is the way in which we lost Dan, because we shouldn’t have lost him. Dan… Read the full story

Christmas just isn’t Christmas without eating your weight in those little Lindor balls.

And Easter is nothing if you’ve not got a Lindt bunny to decapitate.

There’s just something about that creamy Lindt chocolate that makes a celebration actually worth celebrating.

So imagine the excitement when it was announced that the Swiss chocolatiers were launching a Lindt chocolate spread.

Yep, you can now get your hands on jars of ‘Lindt Hazelnut Cream’ – in what looks like a more glam version of Nutella.

According to Instagram account @productsinstore, jars of the stuff are being sold for £5.99 at the Lindt shop in Liverpool.

Calling all sneakerheads and hypebeasts: Cancel your plans this weekend, you’re heading to Sneakerness.

For those not in the know, Sneakerness is a massive sneaker (or trainers, if you will) expo that’s previously taken place in spots around Europe. For the first time ever, it’s coming to July this very weekend.

Sneakerness will be taking over Printworks for two days: Saturday 7 July and Sunday 8 July.

Along with stalls selling all the coolest shoes (Crep Protect, Adidas, and Stance are all hosting pop-up stalls), there’ll be all sorts of sneaker-themed delights including trainer cleaning stations, games of ping-pong, and competitions to win, well, sneakers.

As long as I can remember I’ve always had people stare at me. I was born with a condition called osteogenesis imperfecta which means that my bones break easily and I am a full time wheelchair user.

I vividly remember shopping with my sister and mother — I must have been 16-years-old — and the stares and side glances just got the better of me and I burst into tears. Trying to console me my sister knelt down next to me and said, ‘has it ever occurred to you that people may be staring because you are an amazing dresser and you look great?’

It was true, I loved… Read the full story

ASOS, for all its dubious jean designs, tends to be a leader when it comes to diversity and sustainability.

It’s stopped selling loads of animal-made products. It makes an active effort to ensure its models are as racially diverse as possible. And amputee model Mama Cox has even featured in an Asos activewear campaign.

And now, it’s gone one step further by introducing its first ever disabled e-commerce model.

Great British Paralympian athlete and BBC reporter, Chloe Ball-Hopkins, has been hired to model and design a tie-dye jumpsuit for ASOS’ ‘Design’ range.

Actor Eddie Marsan got some attention this week for slagging off pubs and, quite frankly, it really hurt.

I don’t own a pub, I don’t work in a pub, I am not myself a pub and pubs are actually quite a substantial drain on my income, but I, like many others, am in love with them.

Behind my home and the office, the pub is third on the list of where I spend most of my time. Not one specific establishment, but a range of boozers that fulfil all different types of needs.

This is where Marsan’s comments really stung for… Read the full story

We’re being struck with a double whammy of lust – not only is it summer, but we also have the World Cup.

It’s a known fact that our sex drives increase in the summer but recent stats have shown that the football is also giving us the horn.

According to Russian mobile phone network MTS, Tinder usage increased by 11% near stadium and fan zones during Moscow, St. Petersburg and Saransk.

No one wants to be labelled a mercenary Mary – especially after they have shelled out a few tens of thousands of pounds feeding and watering guests on their wedding day.

But the notion of a bad wedding gift can still rankle – you are inviting your best friends and family to your wedding. Doesn’t that mean if they get you a gift at all (and increasingly couples are saying no gifts) it should at least be vaguely decent – and ideally meaningful?

Admittedly, it can be hard to put sentiment… Read the full story

Rejoice, nut butter lovers and cashew devourers. According to a new study, your sperm is nailing it.

Diets rich in nuts produce a higher sperm count made up of more powerful swimmers, suggests a new study from the Human Nutrition Unit of the Rovira i Virgili University in Spain.

Researchers tracked the sperm count and quality of a group of healthy young men aged 18-35 over the course of 14 weeks, and found that those who included 60g a day of mixed almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts had a higher sperm count as well as sperm of a higher quality.

This isn’t conclusive evidence to start funneling nuts into your mouth, however.

Next month the very first IVF baby Louise Brown turns 40 years old. But as we look back at four decades of advancements in fertility, what have we really learned about getting pregnant?

Fertility expert Emma Cannon believes that fertility is more than something that can be detected or improved via diagnostic testing – rather it’s a complete and utter state of being.

And she knows what she’s talking about. Nicknamed the ‘Baby Maker’, Emma is a fertility and women’s health expert, acupuncturist, and author who has been helping women get pregnant for more than 20 years.

Sasha, a mother-of-two, was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder last year.

She was in a mother and baby unit at the time and was struggling with depression and OCD. While there, she brought up the idea of BPD to the doctors, as she felt like it helped to put a label on what she was feeling.

It turned out they had already written the condition in their notes, but hadn’t brought it up because of the stigma still surrounding BPD.

Borderline personality disorder is a type of personality disorder. Symptoms of BPD include not having a sense of who you are, worrying about abandonment, quick mood changes and feeling very… Read the full story

In case you weren’t aware, football is one step closer to coming home, after England’s record-breaking penalty win against Colombia.

As the nation recovers from a (happy) hangover, it’s time to look at some of the best videos and pictures from Tuesday night’s nail-biting game.

Kirby Estate in Bermondsey, London, certainly didn’t shy away from going all out.

The council estate was decorated with over 300 flags over the entire block to show their support for the Three Lions.
