As hay fever season returns, so too does the plague of itchy, irritated eyes.
We’ve been keeping a bottle of BIODERMA Atoderm Intensive Eye close to hand to use throughout the day to soothe and repair, but its real star quality is its ability to double-up as an ultra-gentle make-up remover.
Skip the cotton pads and simply apply with clean fingertips if your eyes are especially sensitive.

The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) has partnered with Cadbury to launch eight-week social soccer clubs across 61 venues this summer, for women aged 18 and up.

With that said, the programme has been designed as a non-competitive programme with no experience necessary, and the primary goal is just a bit of craic.
