Allergy Awareness Week – 20 to 26 April – is organised by Allergy UK whose research suggests that the number of allergy sufferers increases by five per cent each year.
In our household we have a range of allergies. Harriet and I have both benefited by using Hopes Relief intensive dry skin rescue and Hopes Relief goat's milk body wash. Plus we have all recently started taking Bio-Kult pro-biotics to help boost our immunities. The great thing about Bio-Kult is that Infantis is completely taste free so that is it undetectable even for the pickiest of children and is safe enough even for babies.
Another product we readily endorse is Aquaint, a water-based sanitiser which can be used on the most sensitive of skins. Aquaint can be used to freshen up the hands and body naturally, used as a mouthwash or mouth freshener and sprayed directly on to the skin or surfaces without the need to rinse off as it does not leave behind any residues or toxic chemicals. Aquaint is perfect if you’re worried about exposure to harsh chemicals as it does not contain any alcohol, Parabens, Pthalates, SLS, Triclosan, preservatives or fragrances. This is perfect for Olivia whose hands react badly to other hand cleansers.
Keeping your hands clean can help you avoid introducing pollens and so on if you rub your eyes – something children are prone to do. Sunglasses, especially the wrap-around style, also help to keep pollen out of the eyes.
