Amazon's 'life saver' insect bite pen that 'stops itching immediately' now £15
As we're well into the summer season, many are eagerly ticking off the days until they can escape on their sun-soaked holidays and immerse themselves in a different culture. Meanwhile, others are planning camping trips, be it for a festival or a getaway with friends and family.
While the anticipation of these events may have us buzzing, it's easy to overlook the nuisance of insect and mosquito bites. These pesky bites, leaving your skin red and itchy, can put a bit of a damper on your spirits.
For those who suffer severe reactions to bites, it might be worth considering an insect heat pen as a solution. Luckily, Amazon has slashed the price of the Beurer BR90 Insect Bite Healer from £32.99 down to £14.97 in a limited-time offer.
The Beurer Bite Healer offers relief from bite symptoms by using a rapidly heating ceramic plate to speed up the healing process after an insect bite or sting. It provides itch and swelling relief without the need for medication or chemicals.
This device, which is safe for pregnant women, also features an optional light. So, if you're bitten in the middle of the night, you can accurately target the bite without having to switch on the bedroom light, reports the Daily Record.
It's worth noting that this gadget operates on AAA batteries. The manufacturer claims that users can get up to 300 uses out of the device before needing to replace the batteries.
Shoppers on Amazon have been turning their attention to the RROFKA Insect Sting and Bite Relief, retailing at £24.98, for its dual functionality. The gadget isn't just a heat pen but also integrates a suction tool to extract post-bite irritants. Convenience is key with this device given that it's both cordless and rechargeable.
Meanwhile, Currys offers a portable solution with the HEAT IT Classic USB Type-C Smart Insect Bite Healer, conveniently discounted from £29.99 to £23.99. This nifty device provides immediate relief with concentrated heat and has the added perk of running off your smartphone – provided it's USB-C compatible.
On the note of effectiveness, the Beurer Bite Healer boasts an impressive 4.3-star rating on Amazon, corroborated by more than 45,000 reviewers. Its popularity surges as the summer approaches, with purchases exceeding 1,000 units in just the past month.
A satisfied customer shared their relief: "Got a bite on my leg and woke up with a very itchy lump behind my knee. Used the heat pad on it when I got up on the 3 second mode and it pretty much stopped itching instantly! I was very impressed and relieved!"
Echoing the enthusiasm, another five-star commentary highlighted: "Amazing little tool which works very effectively and the ONLY thing that takes away the itch completely! I would highly recommend it!!!"
Yet, a word of caution comes from another buyer who notes the importance of prompt application: "The snag is: You need to get to the sting pretty quickly after it happens - which means carrying this little gizmo around with you."
Some customers have voiced their discomfort about the warmth, with one shopper remarking: "The 3 seconds of heat can get pretty intense on the less fleshy parts of the body (elbow, knuckles, ankles) but is bearable on other areas."
Yet, a leading reviewer chimed in with praise, saying: "Using this stops the itching immediately. It feels a bit too hot at first, but you soon get used to it. We also noticed that bites treated with this healed faster than those that hadn't been. I also bought the travel version."
Another satisfied customer shared their relief: "I react very badly to bites. But this machine takes the sting out of the bite and stops them from being itchy. Completely changed my experience and made my life so much more manageable going abroad. I couldn't go away without it now! A life saver."

A supermarket chain is calling for the return of a beloved icon of the nation's football memories – the half-time orange slice
The call to arms from Lidl GB comes as new research reveals that half of Brits who played sport as children remember the iconic half-time orange as a core memory from childhood football matches.

For parents in GB who have children 18 or under who play matches cereal bars (35%), protein bars (5%) and even chocolate (30%) and crisps (27%) have become popular options for many, while fewer than one in five parents (19%) still choose the humble orange slice for their children's half-time go-to snack.

The Oura ring is my favorite tracker — it has $100 off ahead of Amazon Prime Day
As a fitness editor, I've tried pretty much every wearable out there. From the all-new Whoop 5 to the Apple Watch, I love a fitness tracker, and I've tested them all. They range in price and what they offer in terms of features, and of course, some are more impressive than others. However, there's one device I've personally been wearing solidly for years — the Oura ring (was $299, now $199, and it currently has $100 off ahead of Amazon Prime Day (July 8 to July 11). My Oura ring has never let me down. I use it to track my sleep, energy levels, menstrual cycle, and recovery, and this tiny, chic device has helped me take my health and wellbeing to new heights. The only drawback is that it's expensive. But, that's no longer an issue thanks to the current saving. The Oura ring 4 ($349, was voted the best smart ring on the market by senior tech writer Alex Lee, and despite Samsung recently launching its Galaxy ring, Oura remains a firm favorite for fans of wearables, myself included. I love how the gold finish matches the rest of my jewelry and how lightweight, well-fitting, and easy to wear it is. Of course, you can also get the Oura in silver and cool, minimalist black as well as rose gold. The ring uses sensors inside the band to track variables that feed back information on your sleep quality, heart rate, and a raft of other health markers. To benefit from the discount and learn why I think you should invest, keep scrolling. If you're shopping for a tracker that simply measures fitness levels, there are plenty to choose from, but what makes the Oura ring special is that it offers much more. Not only is it small, lightweight, and easy to wear, but it also offers a range of insights that other trackers don't. My favorite features are the daily tags you can add to your activity log and the cycle calendar, which helps track your mood, sleep, and energy levels and predict the coming phases of your cycle. I've also found that I've been able to improve my sleep quality using the Oura ring — the sensors track your heart rate variability to track how long you spend in each phase of light, deep, and REM sleep, and by checking this and adapting the environment in my bedroom, taking my supplements at different times and going to bed earlier, I've been able to improve my overall sleep scores and rest better thanks to the ring. While the ring and subscription to the app aren't exactly cheap, this has been one of the most worthwhile investments I've made for my health. Oura ring 3 vs Oura ring 4 The deal on the third-generation Oura ring is impressively low and this is likely because Oura recently launched the ring 4. So, should you buy the newer model over the less expensive ring 3 that's on sale right now? Well, this all depends on what you're looking for in a smart ring. Both the Oura ring 3 and 4 are titanium-based, but the inside of the newer version is now wrapped in high-grade metal instead of the plastic used on the gen 3. The Oura ring 4 is also lighter, at 3.3-5.2g (depending on size), compared with 4-6g. While both versions of the ring promise to deliver similar metrics and insights, the ring 4 features an improved sensor platform that sits flusher with the ring, and it has an improved battery life, which is up to eight days, compared with the ring 3's seven days. In his review of the latest Oura ring, tech expert Alex said: 'The main benefit that the Oura ring 4 provides, compared with the gen 3, is improved durability, comfort and accuracy. This isn't a generational upgrade over the Oura ring 3, merely strengthening its position as the best smart ring out there for sleep tracking and recovery.'
