For The Toiletries Bag
A few home comforts in your toiletries bag always makes things easier when you’re on holiday. As well as your favourite make-up and perfumes, choose a ‘beach’ shampoo, an SPF lip balm and a brush for detangling longer hair.

For The Medicine Bag
It’s a good idea to pack a mini medicine supply before you jet off, so you have everything you need when you need it - it can be hard to find the products you’re used to abroad. Staples like headache tablets are the obvious choices, but people often forget to take insect bite relief and plasters.
Remember to pack…
For The Pool
And...relax. It’s time to chill out by the pool and recharge your batteries (remember to pack those too if you’re taking a camera). These essentials will make sure you have what you need during those lazy days.

Top tip: Apply sunscreen with care and, ideally, put it on 15-30 minutes before going out into the sun. Don’t be stingy with it either – use generous amounts to ensure even coverage. You’ll need it even when it’s cloudy or you’re in the shade, as you can still burn. Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you go in the pool or sea.
For The Beach
It goes without saying that the most important thing for the beach is skincare. Always wear sunscreen that’s at least factor 15 – this will give you over 90 per cent protection from harmful UVB rays. Even better, a ‘broad spectrum’ sunscreen also blocks out UVA rays. Water-resistant creams are essential if you’re in and out of the water – and always make sure they’re within their use-by date.

For The Kids
Keeping the kids safe and entertained is what it’s all about on a family holiday. From books and games to make your car, train or plane journey lots of fun to swimming essentials for when they want to splash about in the sea or dive-bomb into the pool, here are some key things to pack this summer.
