Travelling right with Mentholatum

Whether you only take the bare essentials or cram most of your worldly goods into your cases when you go away – make sure you save room for the holiday health essentials from Mentholatum:

MENTHOLATUM DEEP HEAT RUB

Why should I take it?

You could be glad you packed Deep Heat Rub if your back plays up after a night or two in a strange bed – or if you see a holiday as a chance to try sports and activities that aren’t part of your exercise routine at home.
Deep Heat Rub is non-greasy and it helps stimulate circulation, relax stiffness and ease muscular aches – and as well as helping ease that aching back, it can also be used for bruises, sprains and minor sports injuries.

WELLPATCH DEEP HEAT PATCHES

Why should I pack them?

Slip a patch or two into your luggage to help relieve backache, muscular aches and pains, joint stiffness, sprains, strains – and period pains. Just open the pack, peel off the protective film and apply the patch directly to the skin at the point of discomfort. You’ll feel the heat after five minutes and the patch stays hot for up to eight hours, delivering soothing, warming relief.

DEEP FREEZE

Why should I take it?

Sporty types know all too well that minor knocks and tweaks needs to be treated quickly to give the healing process a kick start, so pop a pack of Deep Freeze Cold Gel or a Deep Freeze spray in your bag. Deep Freeze spray is a favourite addition to countless sports bags and is ideal as a first aid treatment for a sprain, while the Cold Gel combines the benefits of cold treatment with gentle massage.

(If you plan to take the spray, do check with the airline whether it should be in hand baggage or in the hold).

SOFTLIPS

Why do I need it?

Dry, sore lips can make a holiday a misery – and put paid to a holiday romance! Softlips luxury lip balm has built-in SPF20 to help protect delicate lips from over-exposure to the sun. And with Sparkle Mint, French Vanilla and Vitamin Enriched varieties to choose from, why not treat yourself to once for each holiday mood?

OXY

Why take it?

You don’t want holiday spots to give your confidence a knock, so take something from the OXY range to help prevent spots – or treat them if they do pop up.
There’s OXY Face Wash, OXY Cleanser+, OXY Wipeout Pads and OXY Triple Action Wipes to help prevent spots and OXY On The Spot* and OXY 10* with benzoyl peroxide to kill spot-causing bacteria and help treat blackheads by unblocking pores.

*Contains benzoyl peroxide
Always read the label

Mentholatum products are available from pharmacies, including Boots stores, and many supermarkets.
