Advertising feature from"I wanted a relaxing holiday, not malaria" Kate Morris was looking for sun and deep relaxation. So, when her exotic destination meant she needed to consider vaccinations and antimalarials, she turned to Boots Kate says the Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice Service at Boots gave her peace of mind before travelling
"All I wanted was a very chill holiday where everything was just easy," explained Kate Morris from London. "I was exhausted." Searching online for somewhere warm and relaxing, Kate stumbled upon an all-inclusive package holiday at a resort in Cape Point, Gambia, which seemed to tick all the boxes. "It was right on the beach and looked really lovely," she said. "There was also no time difference, which was a big draw, as we were only going for a week, so I really didn't want to have to deal with jet lag." Kate may have been looking for a hassle-free holiday, but her exotic destination meant that her preparations suddenly took on a more serious nature. Like many far-flung locations, it is recommended that holidaymakers travelling to Gambia – a small country on the west African coast – consider having certain vaccinations, as well as a course of antimalarial medication. "The most stressful part of preparing for the trip was making sure we had the medical side covered," said Kate, who was travelling with her two teenage children. "I knew it was important that we took all the necessary precautions – obviously I didn't want us to be at risk of any diseases we might come into contact with while on holiday." Keen to get everything sorted as quickly as possible, Kate headed to her local Boots. "We live near an absolutely massive Boots store," she explained. "They have loads of things you need for a holiday right there, all the little miniature bottles and obviously sunscreen, so I always stop by before going away. "I'd never used the Boots Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice Service before, but I was able to get an appointment for all three of us the same day. It was so convenient to be able to sort everything in one place." Suitable for adults, as well as children aged two and over, the service is available in nearly 300 stores across the UK*. Boots also offers a Malaria Prevention Service in more than 1,700 stores**. During your Travel Vaccinations & Health Advice Service appointment, a healthcare professional will ask you a few questions about you and your travel plans, so that they can advise you on any vaccinations or antimalarials you should consider. You'll also be given personalised advice to help you stay healthy on your trip. And it's a good idea to book an appointment for the service as early as possible. Boots superintendent pharmacist Claire Nevinson says: "If you're travelling abroad you should aim to access the service at least six to eight weeks before you travel, to help ensure you are fully protected ahead of departure if any vaccinations are needed. "However, don't worry if you're travelling sooner than this, as we may still be able to help. The Boots Quick Check Tool – available at – can also help you understand the health risks of any country you might be visiting and what vaccinations you may want to consider." Kate may have been anticipating 'the kind of holiday where I didn't have to move', but as it turned out, she and her children couldn't resist exploring everything Gambia had to offer. "We did a lot of swimming in the pool and in the sea, and we also ended up going on lots of sightseeing trips," she said. "One day we went to a monkey reserve; another day we visited an art village, and we checked out all the big markets and the national museum too." Reflecting on whether the process of extra preparations and accessing the service at Boots was worth it, Kate concluded: "It definitely was. Our holiday was amazing and it felt like a real escape, which was exactly what I needed."

I put three cleansers that also remove your make-up to the test
Read on to also find out about a lip plumper that also hydrates ALL GONE I put three cleansers that also remove your make-up to the test MY skincare routine is very low maintenance and I don't buy into double cleansing. With the right formula, you can remove your make-up and clean your face in just one step. It's faster and saves space and money. This week, I test out three. Budget Curél Hydrating Make-up Cleanser, £16.50, 200ml, Boots: 4 Curél Hydrating Make-up Cleanser won't leave your skin dry or rough Credit: supplied I never thought I'd like a cleanser you didn't have to use in tandem with a flannel and warm water – but this clever product has changed that completely. Thanks to the hydrating formula, you can go rinse-free and your skin won't end up dry or rough, which is a revelation. I've been using it for a couple of weeks, and the convenience of being able to sit in bed while removing my make-up with a cotton pad is unrivalled. It also means any excuses of being too tired/drunk/lazy to cleanse my face are redundant. Mid-range Monday Muse The Cleanser Soft Milky Gel, £28, 100ml, 4 Monday Muse The Cleanser Soft Milky Gel is suitable for dry, oily, combination, acne-prone and sensitive skin Credit: supplied Designed to be truly universal, it's suitable for dry, oily, combination, acne-prone and sensitive skin – which is no mean feat. It's the only cleanser I've been loyal to for the last few years, going back to it frequently as I know my skin will appreciate it. True to its name, it has a milky consistency that lightly foams but doesn't dry skin out, removing every last scrap of make-up and grime in less than a minute. With every day use, a tube lasts me a good few months, so I don't mind paying slightly more as I know it works and will last. It's a pair of safe hands. We tried six lipsticks we'd never normally go for - here's what worked & what didn't Luxury SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Cleanser, £45, 190ml, 4 SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Cleanser is best for oily skin or when you're wearing lots of make-up Credit: supplied This was the only cleanser I used for five years when I had severe cystic acne, so I needed a face wash that would clean my skin without too much rubbing – as touching my skin caused more inflammation. I recently rediscovered the thick-gel formula, and it's just as good as I remember. On contact with skin, it quickly turns into a rich foam that dissolves grime and sloughs away dead skin cells thanks to the exfoliating acid ingredient. It's best for oily skin or when you're wearing lots of make-up. Pick of the week RoC Lip Volumizer, £29.99, 10ml, 4 RoC Lip Volumizer contains peptides and hyaluronic acid to hydrate Credit: supplied I keep a wide berth from any lip products labelled as 'plumping'. I have chronically dry lips and a very low spice tolerance, so they're usually more hassle than they're worth – but I've just found one that works, and doesn't cause me pain. This product contains peptides and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, and a plumping complex that delivers a noticeable difference in three minutes.

The top-selling No7 Future Renew Night Serum is available at half price for a limited period, making it the best deal we've seen on the formula. Introduced in April this year the No7 Future Renew Night Serum is still relatively new to the skincare market, so it's unusual to see such a significant reduction. Normally priced at £39.95, it's currently down to £19.97 - but only for a few days and only with the code FRSAVE50. The product was so sought-after that it sold one every seven seconds on launch day, and continues to be the number one bestselling night serum at Boots.

In previous weeks, we've seen the serum available on three for two with £10 off using the code REVERSE10, but even with these deals combined, each of the 25ml serums would average at £23.30, making the 50% off deal better value. The No7 Future Renew Night Serum has rapidly gained a cult following, adored not just for its pioneering peptide technology but also for its ability to work with your skin to reverse visible signs of skin damage while you slumber. The scientifically-supported formula uses chronotechnology to align with your skin's natural overnight repair cycle, pairing it with potent ingredients like peptides and hyaluronic acid to plump and repair the complexion, reports the Mirror.

Meanwhile, the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex employs similar technology – Chronolux Power Signal Technology – which is designed to amplify the skin's natural repair and renewal processes. Some skincare enthusiasts might still be searching for an anti-ageing product with a bit more potency. In that scenario, Medik8's Crystal Retinal is an incredibly popular, scientifically-supported choice.

I am 86, but I'm sure there is a difference since using both serums." However, not all feedback was glowing, as some users took issue with the price point. A customer remarked: "A very good product but the price for 25ml seems a bit steep. Doesn't last long at all and I've been very sparing." "I'm heading for my mid-70s and I really can see a difference for the better - just wish it wasn't so expensive," another customer wrote. One five-star review highlighted the visible benefits: "My skin feels and looks healthy. "People have noticed my facial skin and asked me if I have been on holiday. I reply no and then they ask how I have attained such lovely skin." Another user said: "This is the only product that I used differently in my routine, so I know that this must be the one making the difference.
