WE all love a summer holiday but they do come with some health warnings.
There’s the obvious sunburn to deal with but also dodgy tummies, mozzies… and hangovers!
We look at the latest products that claim to help get rid of them and try out the latest beauty boxes.
HEALTH
With Jane Atkinson
Hangovers
THERE is a way you can try to avoid this holiday bugbear. Enterosgel is a tasteless gel that binds with toxins and harmful substances in your gut to help get them out of your system.
It works in a matter of hours and will also treat a dodgy holiday tummy.
- Available in tubes or sachets at Boots from £12.80.
Bugs
MANY mosquito repellents contain strong chemicals that you spray on to your skin. As an alternative, a firm called Theye introduced alcohol and Deet-free wristbands and wipes.
Now it has aerosol and pump sprays, and extra-strength cream, which are so safe kids can use them. They offer eight hours of protection.
- From £2.99, see theye.co.uk.
Stings
SOS Solution For Bites is a vegan-friendly rollerball. Great if you don’t want to use synthetic products.
It contains soothing aloe vera and EGCG – a natural wonder derived from green tea, proven to reduce irritation.
- £8.99, 5ml, scienceofskin.com.

A GREAT alternative to a subscription service, this is a range of beauty boxes sold as one-off purchases.
