]]> Everyone loves to catch a few rays on vacation, but we’re all well aware of the health implications of deliberately burning or tanning. If you’re heading somewhere hot on holiday it’s super important to make sure that your skin is protected from the UV. Check out these vacation essentials which you’ll want to pack to ensure your skin stays out of the sun.

Sun Hat

A sun hat is an absolute essential on holiday, as it will protect your face and neck from the sun and help you to stay cool. Paper or straw-based versions pack down neatly, and a cotton-based cap can be folded in your suitcase.

Sarong or Scarf

Packing a sarong or scarf to wrap around your shoulders during the hottest part of the day is a great idea. It will be light and airy, and so keep you cooler than a top, while offering you protection from the UV rays.

Parasol

While it may not be practical to pack a parasol in your suitcase, it’s a good idea to seek one out if you’re poolside or at the beach. While SPF is a must and will help to protect your skin, during the hottest parts of the day it’s a good idea to seek shade. A large parasol will provide plenty of shade for you to relax under.

]]> When you’re planning a vacation, it can be easy to focus on all of the relaxing, exciting things you’re going to see and do and forget about the practical aspects. However, it can be worth pre-planning how you’re going to take care of your hair and skin while you’re away, as often a change in place, routine and products can cause unwanted results. Check out these tips for caring for your hair, even if you’re heading to the pool or ocean every day of your vacation.

Protect Hair From Chlorine

Anyone who has dyed their hair blonde can tell you that chlorinated water can result in an unexpected green tinge. Even if your hair is entirely natural, chlorine can dry hair out and leave it looking frizzy and dull. It may be worth packing a swimming cap to take with you on vacation, or at least make sure that you have a nourishing, protecting hair mask to apply after your dips in the pool.

Use a UV Protecting Spray

There are plenty of options out there if you want to protect your hair from the drying, and bleaching effects of UV exposure. Pack a spray with UV protection to take with you on vacation, and spritz it over your strands whenever you know you’re going to be spending a lot of time outside in the sun.

Be Prepared For A Post-Holiday Haircut

There’s no doubt that spending time in a pool, in the sun, or in the sea can lead to increased dryness and breakage. Rather than booking your next trim just before you head off on vacation, why not try a post-holiday haircut? A trim and tidy-up will restore your hair to full health and remove any damage caused by the pool, sea, or sun.
