Whether you’re jetting off to an exotic location or taking the whole family on a road trip to the coast, there’s nothing more exciting than planning a holiday. This is your time to relax, forget all about your responsibilities back home and enjoy making memories with your loved ones.
You don’t want to worry about a thing when it comes to enjoying your summer plans, and the first step towards a stress-free holiday is all in what you pack. With so much to cram into your suitcase, it can be easy to forget daily summer essentials that can help prepare you for every eventuality.
We know that luggage rules and restrictions when you’re going abroad can make this tricky. But did you know that you can Click & Collect all your summer must-haves at Boots airport stores? Wave goodbye to 100ml limits and take the stress out of packing by placing an order of full-sized sun cream, shampoo and all your travel products to pick up once you’ve made it through security – just be aware there’s a five-day delivery time on orders for airport collection. Once you’ve picked up your order, all that’s left to do is sit back and let the holiday begin.
Beach, are you ready for us?
If you’re headed out for a day at the beach, we’d recommend taking enough water and snacks to keep the whole family happy. Keeping everyone topped up with SPF should be another priority throughout the day, too. Find one with a water-resistant formula, as this is a great choice for little ones (or adults) that just can’t wait to get into the water. Just remember to re-apply sun cream frequently, especially after swimming, sweating or towelling off.
Taking care of your smooth summer skin and sunkissed hair has never been easier, either. Off to a tropical location? Humidity can wreak havoc on perfectly-styled hairdos, so pop in a bottle of your favourite smoothing spray or hair product to help you fight the frizz. You’ll thank yourself later!
If you’re looking to stay hair-free while you’re away, there are plenty of travel-friendly options that can help you de-fuzz without a fuss. Epilators are a great solution for hair removal that’ll last all holiday, so you don’t need to stick to a strict shower schedule in order to feel your best. Pack this one in your checked baggage, as you won’t be able to take it in a carry-on bag.
