Get Ready For Summer - Win a £50 Boots Voucher (CLOSED)
Get Ready For Summer - Win a £50 Boots Voucher (CLOSED)
Submitted by Kirsty on Tue, 2015-07-21 23:59
Hello everyone! How is your week going, any nice wins to report? Another nice Twitter win here of a £50 voucher for Fayre & Square pubs from Twitter – will be a nice way to treat my parents when we visit over the summer, as we usually go to their local Fayre & Square for lunch. Well, the children are off and the summer has begun! We were off camping at the weekend for the first time, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We all got really stuck into the non-electric life playing board games and cards, cooking on the camp stove and sitting round the fire pit doing quizzes in the evening – really jolly nice!
What do you have planned for the summer months? Are you off on some exotic foreign holiday, or maybe it is a staycation this year with lots of home-grown fun? If, like me, you have little ones at home and are still working over the summer I bet your comping has to take a bit of a backseat during these months – I know mine does! I like to try and find some practical competition prizes that will help out over the summer too – supermarket comps, toys, games and vouchers are always handy.
With this in mind how do you fancy winning a £50 Boots voucher to help out this summer? Well that’s exactly what we have on offer this month for our exclusive competition just for Compers News members. Join in and you could be stocking up on sun cream, treating yourself to some new make up or just purchasing all the essentials we need every day like shampoo, bubble bath and moisturiser. To enter you need to be a registered Compers News member and logged into your account. Then just leave me a message in the comments below with your best summer health & beauty tip. This could be how to keep your make up on in the heat, how to make sure your hair doesn’t frazzle during the summer or how to stay healthy with all that ice cream as a temptation! One entry per person, comments are modified so won’t appear immediately and entries close at 23:59 on Tuesday 28th July 2015. One winner will be chosen at random after the closing date – good luck everyone and enjoy the sunshine!
Happy comping everyone, and lots of Lucky dust to you all!
Kirsty x

Nobody looks good when peeling - always use sunscreen! Look at the star rating on the back to make sure you're filtering out as much UVA as possible too - that'll stop you ageing quicker.

Stop you heels from cracking by applying a heel crack prevention cream before you start exposing them in sandals - if no heel crack cream just use a thick moisturiser cream. It is so much easier to look after them before they crack and they look so much nicer and feel good too when you expose them to the sun.

If it is sunny and hot wear light colours to help keep you cool-not black as that attracts the heat and will make you feel hotter-try to avoid synthetic fabrics as much as possible too.

My tip is after your shower or bath, use an emery board to remove hard skin from heels and other prone areas of your feet, to leave them Summer fit and looking good.

My best summer health & beauty tip is to use lots of sunblock or sunscreen and reapply every 2-4 hours. Use a pea sized amount for the face and a shot glass sized amount for the body.

Don't bother to get your hair dyed before you go away - the sun just bleaches out the colour. I use one of those professional colour-style mousses which tides me over (and works perfectly) (the brand I use is Indola) and then I get my hair re-done when I get home. However, just to contradict the above, I do always get my eyelashes dyed before I go on holiday - it means no need for mascara!

This will not work if you are colouring grey haired roots, my advice is, have your roots coloured before you go away, then take a conditioner designed to help keep your colour in, your hair may get a bit lighter in the sun, but at least it will be all over, and no-one will know you have grey hair. !

Being a mum of four gorgeous little un's and one a lovely red-head, & also being of the paler (milky bar kid) variety, I have had to learn the rules of sunscreen! These are the rules I follow :-)
Buy sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15!
Make sure it protects against both UVA and UVB rays :-)
Put it on 20 - 30 minutes before going out in the sunshine!
Use it, even when it’s cool outside or cloudy, those rays can still get through the clouds!
Apply it generously— if you think you've used enough, you need more! lol.
Take sunscreen with you wherever you go & put more sunscreen on throughout the day.
Always reapply after getting wet or exercising!
This is all based on the premise that we actually get any more sun btw....lol :-) Have Fun!

Always keep well hydrated with water, good tip all year round but really important in the summer. I always have a bottle with me when I am out and about.

Sunscreen is a given for a day in the sun but also don't forget the after sun cream for those red spots you might have missed and for great all over moisturising.

Cool yourself -and the kids- down by running cold water over the inside of your wrists. Also - but adults only - cold water on the back of your neck works

Stop you heels from cracking by applying a heel crack prevention cream before you start exposing them in sandals - if no heel crack cream just use a thick moisturiser cream. It is so much easier to look after them before they crack and they look so much nicer and feel good too when you expose them to the sun.

Don't bother to get your hair
Don't bother to get your hair dyed before you go away - the sun just bleaches out the colour. I use one of those professional colour-style mousses which tides me over (and works perfectly) (the brand I use is Indola) and then I get my hair re-done when I get home. However, just to contradict the above, I do always get my eyelashes dyed before I go on holiday - it means no need for mascara!
This will not work if you are
This will not work if you are colouring grey haired roots, my advice is, have your roots coloured before you go away, then take a conditioner designed to help keep your colour in, your hair may get a bit lighter in the sun, but at least it will be all over, and no-one will know you have grey hair. !

Being a mum of four gorgeous
Being a mum of four gorgeous little un's and one a lovely red-head, & also being of the paler (milky bar kid) variety, I have had to learn the rules of sunscreen! These are the rules I follow :-)
Buy sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15!
Make sure it protects against both UVA and UVB rays :-)
Put it on 20 - 30 minutes before going out in the sunshine!
Use it, even when it’s cool outside or cloudy, those rays can still get through the clouds!
