We all want our vacations to be as relaxing, fun-filled, and as perfect as possible. This is why something like sunburn can feel like a real pain, in more ways than one. In an ideal world, we would all avoid getting sunburned in the first place, but sometimes salt water can wash sunscreen off, or the sun can simply be more powerful than we were expecting. Check out these tips on how to soothe and care for sunburn on holiday, so you can get back to relaxing and making the most of your break away.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a natural substance that can calm and care for burns and is usually available in most pharmacies. Take care that the type you’re purchasing doesn’t have extra fragrance or unnecessary ingredients—it may even be worth packing a small amount of pure aloe vera to take with you when you head away on vacation, just to be safe.

Hydration

If your skin is burned, you can help repair it from the inside out by staying well hydrated. Drinking water and eating foods with a high water content, such as melon and cucumber, will help your skin heal and regain its glow and softness.

Sun Safety

Once you’ve been burned, you will need to make sure you’re not exposing your skin to the sun for a while. Make sure you pack a hat to take on vacation, and a thin scarf to drape over your shoulders can also be a good idea. Seek out the shade in the middle of the day, and avoid swimming for at least the first 24 hours after being burned.

Travel nausea can strike without warning, and it’s perfectly capable of ruining a good trip. Whether you’re looking forward to catching a ferry, planning on making a road trip across several states, or intend to catch a plane to a tropical destination, make sure you follow these tips to reduce the risk of travel sickness as far as possible.

Get Enough Sleep

Being overtired can exacerbate travel nausea, so do your best to get a good night’s rest before you travel. If you’re considering trying to sleep on the transport, an eye mask and ear plugs can help to reduce the sensory stimuli that can cause travel nausea. Plan your outfit so that you can add or remove layers if you’re feeling too hot or too cold.

Research Travel Pills

Some pills can be seriously effective when it comes to mitigating the effects of travel sickness. If possible, conduct some tests before you leave for vacation, by trialing different brands of travel nausea medication when you’re taking shorter journeys by car, bus, or train. This way, you should be able to discover which type of medication works best for you.

Reduce Alcohol Intake

While it can be tempting to try and encourage slumber on the journey by having a drink or two, alcohol can significantly worsen the symptoms of travel nausea. Make sure you have plenty of water to drink, and a can of soda or mint-infused water can sometimes help to settle your stomach.
