"It's just a case of thinking about what you might encounter and making sure you pack it. "In mainland Europe, chemists and pharmacies are often denoted by the green cross, but if you're on a tour holiday or staying in a hotel and need pharmacy help, ask your operator or reception so they can help.' Here, Adrian reveals the things to pack to make your holiday a relaxing one... Sun cream Lots of us go on holiday and end up with scorched skin or worse, sunburn, when we've been round the pool or on the beach all day. You need a sun cream or spray that's SPF 30 as a minimum as we know that blocks the harmful UVB rays. It should be applied every one to two hours, more if you're in and out of the water and towelling down in between. Opt for a spray for easy application too. TESCO SOLEIL MOISTURISING SUN PROTECTION SPRAY SPF50 200ML £3.60 After sun Lots of us think about sun block but not many people moisturise after a day spent in the sun, which can have a naturally drying effect. Use once after showering and the aloe vera ingredient soothes and cools skin.
