Vision Express and Transitions Optical are running the Eye Cycle Safe campaign to encourage regular eye examinations. You’ll recive half off your eye exam and 10% off eyewear with Transitions adaptive lenses with this voucher.

A survey of 1,500 cycling enthusiasts for the Eye Cycle Safe campaign found that almost half of British cyclists are not protecting their eyes against harmful UV rays and one in four are not having regular eye examinations. Unprotected exposure can range in a range of eye health problems including age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the UK, cataracts and other eye conditions. Cyclists spend on average an extra day outside every day so this is serious!

Transitions lenses adapt to light and UV rays, so they are a great option. Find out more on the Eye Cycle Safe website.

Clinique is offering trial kits (30 ml sizes) of their 3-Step System exclusively to Facebook fans. If you take advantage of the offer you’ll also receive a £10 voucher to spend on Clinique products.

To get the offer go to Clinique’s Three Things to do Before You’re 30 Facebook page, click the Like button and go to the Special Offers tab. You’ll be able to click through from there to buy the discounted trial kit. If you’re not a fan, the offer won’t be visible.

Thanks for the tip, Magic Freebies!

QV is specifically developed to help treat skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis and maintain skin health. It is the top moisturiser in Australia and now that the brand is launching in the UK they are giving out free sample packs to introduce mums here to the product.

According to the brand, a recent UK survey of over 100 dry skin sufferers carried out with the help of leading on-line eczema resource ‘Talk Eczema’ showed that 89% of people trying the product felt that the product was different to their previous dry skin products and 99% said they intended to tell their doctor about it. They reported that they preferred QV because it is fragrance and colour free, easy to apply, less greasy and more soothing than their previous products they had tried.

All QV products are colour and fragrance free and do not contain soap, propylene glycol or lanolin. The QV range consists of:

• QV Bath Oil is a pleasant bath oil, which helps to manage dry skin conditions and can as frequently as required in the bath or shower. QV Bath is suitable for infants upwards. QV Bath Oil can also be used for patients in bed or massaged directly onto the skin
• QV Cream is a highly effective moisturising cream that can be used as required on dry skin, especially after showering, bathing, shaving, exposure to harsh climatic conditions and at night
• QV Skin Lotion offers a light approach for everyday relief of dry skin and maybe applied as often as required, to affected areas
• QV Wash is a soap free alternative cleanser for the treatment of dry, scaly skin and providing symptomatic relief of symptoms of atopic or infantile eczema and psoriasis. Used as required QV wash should be lightly massaged onto skin, rinsed off and gently dried.
