Don’t let pesky bugs, dodgy tummies or annoying hangovers hold you back this summer[/caption]

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.

Budget

A SUBSCRIPTION service that sends you a monthly box of six beauty products.

A one-month subscription is £15, and the monthly cost reduces with a six-or 12-month subscription. June’s box has items worth more than £68.

• Look Fantastic, £15, lookfantastic.com.

Mid

AN interactive beauty subscription service for women aged 35-65. For £35 a month you get a monthly box of beauty products and access to relevant podcasts and videos.

This month’s box – which can be bought as a one-off for £50 – contains a brow palette, facial tanning mask, hand cream, hand mask and a brightening essence worth more than £110.

• Time Of Your Life, £35, toyl.co.uk.

Luxury

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

I tried the Clean Beauty Edit – 11 products with natural or eco-friendly properties, such as Aveda, Burt’s Bees, Lumene and Bare Minerals, and I received contents worth £104.

• Feel Unique, Clean Beauty Edit, £39, feelunique.com.
