Allergy awareness

Allergies affect around one in four of the UK population at some point in their lives and some of the most common allergens include grass and tree pollen, house dust mites, pets such as dogs and cats, insects such as bees and wasps and household chemicals.

So with many everyday objects being the cause of allergies make sure you are prepared with the right products to ease irritations and keep you feeling comfortable.

Itchy Solutions
Eurax cream or lotion can help relieve your skin from itching and skin irritation caused by ten different skin ailments which can occur all year round, such as sunburn, heat rash, allergic rashes, nettle rash, insect bites and stings, dry eczema and dermatitis.

Be sure to keep a handy tube of Eurax cream with you to help keep your skin feeling comfortable. Eurax contains hydrocortisone, and offers dual relief from mild to moderate eczema, dermatitis and insect bites by rapidly reducing inflammation and stopping associated itching.
