Citizen Enfants: July Hotlist

For a family adventure in one of the most dramatically beautiful places on earth, check out The Reykjavik EDITION. The only luxury hotel experience in the Icelandic capital, it’s a family-orientated property that offers interconnecting rooms and child-friendly service, plus an excellent restaurant and spa. The hotel is just a short distance from some of the country’s most famous attractions and the concierge are always on hand to plan your stay. Kids will love setting off on a whale watching expedition from Reykjavik Old Harbour, or taking part in other awe-inspiring activities such as glacier trips or horseback riding. 

We all want lovely shiny locks, but thinning hair and hair loss is an issue for lots of mothers after they give birth, as pregnancy hormones can play havoc with our tresses. CALECIM® Professional Advanced Hair System is a new treatment that aims to reverse this. Containing a high stem-cell concentration, this serum aims to maximise the power of cord lining – stem-cell signalling technology to send cellular messages direct to hair follicle cells – which creates a more healthy scalp, and thus a more conducive environment for thick, healthy hair to grow. With 18 years of research behind the products, clinical results show a 24% increase in hair follicle cell growth and consistent results for improving hair loss after only six weeks, as well as a reduction in inflammation, which is a contributing factor to hair loss. A convenient, at-home treatment, this is worth considering if your hair is not looking as healthy as it was pre-baby.

If a slightly Swallows and Amazons style staycation is what you are looking for this summer then let luxury self-catering company Crabtree & Crabtree take you on an adventurous holiday in one of their beautiful properties. Launching this July, they have created a series of new family-friendly immersive experiences at their southern Scotland and Northumberland locations; including the likes of fossil hunting, alpaca picnics, snorkelling with seals, wildlife ranger experiences and sensory nature walks that tick all the wholesome fun boxes that kids will love. Or try your hand at falconry, conservation treasure hunts and watercolour workshops.

Heliocare has long been a go-to brand for exceptionally good sun protection. Loved by adults, they now have an excellent children’s range that is suitable for even the most delicate baby skin. Heliocare 360 Pediatrics Mineral is ideal for little ones: it protects against UVA, UVB, visible light and infrared-A with SPF50 and PA++++; is easy to apply; quickly absorbed; and uses mineral-only filters while strengthening and reinforcing the skin barrier via niacinamide, a water-soluble vitamin that works with natural substances in the skin. For use on babies and children (from six-months-old) on the face and body, this handy spray won’t rub off on contact with sand and is water resistant. So, if you are going to be in the sun with small – or big – children this summer, pop a bottle in your handbag.
