"I do have concerns about them using ingredients like vitamin C, vitamin A (retinoids) and exfoliating acids like AHAs and BHAs."

As someone who's 'into' skincare, it also happens that the ingredients mentioned are also amongst the best treatments for blackheads, spots, sebaceous filaments and other assorted teenage/hormonal changes skin issues - I suspect this article is not about ageing, but about "youngsters" being more educated about what they need!

Vit C has also been shown to help boost spf's, so is something recommended to anyone at any age (if your skin 'gets on' with it).

This is a stupid article, as Guardian subscriber I'm very disappointed, it's a 'nothing' article that I'd more expect of the Mail!

Depends on which part of the UK you're in, but most pronounce it Wus-ter-shure, Wus-ter-sher if you're 'up north' and Wooster-sher if you're from Birmingham/ Black country.

Just don't pronounce it Wow-ses-ter-shire and you'll be good 👍

An independent commission of judges select from 'proposed candidates of merit' (15 years service) who then tell the King and PM who they want, who then formalise the appointment.

This is (supposedly) to prevent any particular political leanings, as it's based on legal experience not political party appointments.

I personally take that with a certain amount of salt, as it helps to have had a certain amount of privilege to get that far - in my personal opinion.
