Baby’s skin deserves the best

Bathtime for baby means giving her that five-star treatment. It’s important to choose the most gentle skincare products for your baby, especially during the first six months as this is the most likely time for eczema and sensitive skin problems to develop. The Elave baby skincare range is safe for newborns onwards, and the products intensively hydrate and protect delicate skin.

Support Breast Cancer Care
Why not celebrate the strawberry season by getting together with friends to host a tea party in aid of Breast Cancer Care? The charity’s Strawberry Tea campaign runs all through the summer and raises money to support women in the UK who are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Whether you choose to organise a picnic, have an afternoon tea with delicious home- baked cakes, or spice up the office tea break with scones and jam, holding a Strawberry Tea is easy. A donation from your guests is all you need to make a real difference. To register for a free Strawberry Tea fundraising pack full of recipes and tips, visit: www.breastcancercare.org.uk/strawberry or call 0870 164 9422.

What can I eat to beat migraines?

NUTS AND SEEDS
They’re full of magnesium, which prevents blood vessels narrowing, and potassium which is crucial for the nervous system.

BERRIES
These are a low-GI food, which means they help even out blood-sugar levels. And as migraines are connected to low blood sugar, it’s important to keep levels balanced.

LOW-FAT YOGHURT
Dairy products are high in both calcium and vitamin B, which relax the muscles and so help you to avoid tension headaches.

Overcome your dental phobias
If you’re scared of visiting the dentist, acupuncture can help calm your nerves, researchers have claimed. In a small study, five minutes of treatment with needles placed at two acupuncture points on the top of the head allowed 20 patients who suffer dental anxiety to conquer their fear and undergo dental treatment.

Although the findings published in the Acupuncture In Medicine journal are promising, researchers said that larger studies are necessary for the results to be confirmed. However, they also said that acupuncture ‘may offer a simple and inexpensive method of treatment.’
