Sinead Carroll rounds up her three go-to holiday products to take in every wash bag – no matter where you’re escaping to this Summer.
Bye bye nasty bugs
After numerous attempts to keep the bugs away on holiday, I finally found the one product that really does repel those darn bugs. They love my blood, and every summer I’m always the one with big, red bites all over my body from the moment I step off the airplane.
Recommended by my local McSharry’s Pharmacy, there’s no way I will ever leave home without Jungle Formula again, it’s top of my list of holiday must-haves. Jungle Formula Medium provides up to six-hour protection from mosquitoes, midges and biting insects. I religiously use this in the morning and evening while on holidays, it’s made my holiday so much more pleasant.
Protecting the family
There is nothing more important than a good sunscreen, especially holidaying with three kids in the middle of July. With temperatures reaching 35 degrees it’s vital to have the whole family protected from harmful rays. La Roche-Posay factor 50+ is my go-to sun lotion – suitable for very sensitive skin, paraben-free and very water resistant. I’ve tried so many other sun creams over the years, but this works all the time and gives me piece of mind with fair skin and red-headed children.
When the sun goes down…
It can be so easily forgotten, but it’s just as important to take care of your skin after a day in the sun. Applying after-sun lotion to the face and body is part of our family routine. If the skin has been exposed to sun all day or feels dried out, apply La Roche-Posay Soothing Gel. It’s perfect for face and body and after-sun prolongs your tan, which is always a plus.
Happy Holidays…
