If you have booked a holiday abroad this summer, you are probably counting the days until you get to lie in the sun and relax. However, holidays abroad can bring about their own stresses. Here at MummyPages, we have put together a list of products that will eliminate stress and allow you to focus 100% of relaxing and having fun.
If you suffer from travel sickness, you may be dreading travelling to and from your destination. If this is the case, make sure you pack Nelsons Travella in your hand luggage. It contains a unique combination of seven homeopathic remedies, each specifically chosen to bring soothing relief for the unpleasant symptoms that come with travel sickness. What’s great about Nelsons Travella is that it doesn’t cause drowsiness, so you will be fully alert to take care of the kids and enjoy the trip.
Sunburn is a disaster on holidays – you can’t sleep, your muscles are aching (so carrying a child is a no-no) and peeling skin is a not good look for holiday photos. So a good sunscreen is an absolute must have. Make sure when using sunscreen on your children that it has an SPF of factor 50, and that it’s water resistant. Apply every two hours and after being in the water. A sunscreen with a four star UVA rating is ideal.
In case someone does get burnt on holidays (ever forget to put sunscreen on your feet? Ouch!) then make sure to pack treatment for burned skin. Nelsons Burn Cream is perfect to soothe any really red bits. Keep it in the fridge to get maximum cooling effect on your tender skin.
Make sure you have insect repellent on your holiday. Insects, bugs and all sorts of little creatures are far more common in warmer countries, and nobody wants to be eaten alive in the evenings when they are supposed to be relaxing. Ask your pharmacist for their best brand, and if they have a small one for your handbag, even better. If you do get bitten, dab some tea tree oil on the bite to soothe itching.
One thing that women often stress about while on holidays is their hair. Even those who normally have perfectly silky hair, can find their hair terribly damaged and dry from sun, sea and sand exposure. We recommend you use Argan Oil to ensure your hair stays in good condition throughout the holiday. There are several brands, however some can be very expensive, but one that’s a great bargain is Bearna Natural Care 100% Organic Argan Oil. It’s only €14.50 and is high in vitamin E, antioxidants and fatty acids which will help protect and strengthen your hair.
