On yer bike, Davina!
TV’s Davina McCall will join riders for the second women-only DIVA100 Sussex bike ride, setting out from Cowdray Park in Midhurst on Sunday 13 May. The first ride in 2011 saw more than 500 ladies take part and raise more than £95,000 for children’s charity Action Medical Research, based in Horsham. Davina said: “Last year’s DIVA100 ride had a really nice, feel-good atmosphere. I really hope to see everyone again for this year’s ride and to make it an even bigger and better event.”

Replenish with Esthederm
Esthederm Paris has a new variety of products to rejuvenate your skin and leave it refreshed.
Perfect for summer, the Cellular Water Energizing Spray (£16) contains high levels of mineral salts and gives skin a burst of moisture. For parched winter skin, choose the Cellular Concentrate Serum (£79). It’s suitable for all skin types and leaves skin wonderfully moisturised. It works best when applied in the morning to a clean, dry face and works as an excellent base for make-up. The Hydra System Aqua Diffusion Eye Contour (£43) is a light lotion product. It helps restore moisture and smooths away wrinkles around the eye area. It also reduces dark circles and puffiness.
These are luxury products with a price tag to match, but with fantastic results (soft, supple skin for summer) it’s a worthwhile investment in skincare, especially as British Summertime begins.
