July’s clear skies and toasty temperatures tend to bring happiness and renewed energy, making this a wonderful time to work on healthy habits.
With useful pointers on everything from oral hygiene to skincare, here are Checklist‘s top tips on health and wellness this month.
Boost your pleasure in the bedroom
Lasting longer during sex can prolong pleasure for both partners. Virility Medical is a consumer healthcare company that has developed in2 – the world’s-first wearable patch to delay ejaculation.
The in2 patch is clinically proven to help men last longer, perform better, and delay ejaculation using cutting-edge muscle stimulation technology that enhances pelvic floor contraction.
The in2 patch is small, discreet, flexible and drug-free. Once turned on, it has an immediate effect, allowing for sexual spontaneity, and doesn’t cause genital desensitisation*.
Curious about how the patch feels? Men who have tried the patch report they felt ‘internal muscle contraction’ and a ‘gentle tingling pleasant sensation over the skin’.
If you’re interested in trying the product, the brand’s starter kit includes high-intensity and low-intensity patches so you can find out which intensity is right for you.

*Unlike other existing methods for delaying ejaculation, such as numbing creams/gels or drugs, which requires application at least 30 minutes before intercourse, or it may be transferred to the partner.
**Offer valid until 31/07/23.
Refresh yourself with a spa break
Who doesn’t love a spa break? Some much-deserved pampering never goes amiss and we’ve found just the place for it.
Alexander House & Utopia Spa, the only five-star hotel and spa in West Sussex, is the ultimate relaxation destination. Established in 2006, the property continues to win awards and has been recognised in this year’s prestigious Good Spa Guide.
The Utopia Spa offers next-generation treatments using OSKIA products, as well as treatments inspired by the travels of the hotel owners and Jennifer Young ‘Beauty Despite Cancer’ treatments, designed to be enjoyed at any stage of cancer treatment.
Outdoors, there’s an iconic outdoor hot tub and barrel sauna, along with private hot tubs available to book for special occasions. While indoors, you’ll find our Romanesque therapy pools, with a series of hydrotherapy options, along with saunas and sensory showers.
And all of this is set in 120 acres of West Sussex parkland, so you can reconnect with yourself among the beauty of nature.

Get a sparkling white smile
Feeling good about your teeth and your smile is important for your self-esteem. That’s where brands like Swissdent come in.
Swissdent’s whitening high-tech toothpaste is revolutionising dental cosmetics with its patented formula.
Conventional toothpastes use silicates such as sand or marble dust that scrub away plaque. This cleans the teeth, but also removes a small layer of enamel.
Whereas, Swissdent Extreme cleans the teeth gently with fruit enzymes and then micronised calcium peroxide brightens them.

Blemishes be gone!
Don’t even think about picking or squeezing your nose. Target it using the award-winning Breakout Patch Classic Nose.
Unlike traditional nose pore strips which may cause skin abrasions and damage, Breakout Patch Classic Nose works by gently absorbing impurities from the pores. It’s formulated with hydrocolloid technology that helps keep excess oil at bay while also smoothing the skin on the nose.
The patch is designed to adapt to the contours of the nose with flexibility and peels off without leaving any adhesive residue. Plus, the formula is vegan-friendly and deemed safe for all skin types having been dermatologically tested.

Look after your legs
Did you know that wearing compression can play a key role in the prevention and management of leg conditions, such as tired achy legs, varicose veins, dry skin, and eczema, and support everyday healthy living?
Compression can also play a role in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prevention for those at risk, including long haul flyers.
Activa Compression Socks provide light compression to support you to alleviate and prevent further progression of symptoms, helping your legs feel healthier.
One wearer comments: ‘I used to experience pain in my lower legs when walking for long periods of time. Activa Compression Socks have been amazing at keeping the pain at bay.’

*If you are new to wearing compression therapy, changing the type or Class of your garment or have any existing medical conditions we advise that you are assessed and measured by a suitably trained healthcare professional. Always read the in-pack information leaflet prior to commencing use of the product.
Book a rejuvenating facial
While some people turn to surgery to look younger, you can combat ageing skin without going under the knife.
Visible Age Reverse is a new facial that has been developed by pioneering French aesthetician and doctor of pharmaceuticals Dr JDM. It aims to obtain visible results in 30 minutes on the signs of ageing.
The treatment is non-invasive and follows a three-step process that is designed to develop new skin by increasing blood flow to the surface, improve epidermal thickness by 10% and re-sculpt the complexion for a more youthful, plump and defined appearance.
Visible Age Reverse is currently exclusive to Guinot salons (Ascot, Bramhall, Bromley, Celbridge, Earlsfield and Gosforth) but will be available across a wider network of Guinot stockists nationwide from July 19.

Take control of your hair loss
It is normal to lose some hair every day as part of the hair’s usual growth cycle. However, illness, hormonal changes, stress, ageing and inherited conditions can interfere with the hair’s growth cycle and new strands don’t always grow back.
Fortunately, there are specialists who you can consult for guidance, like Dr Javed Mohungoo.
Dr Mohungoo MBChB (Leeds) FRCP (London) is a consultant dermatologist with over fifteen years’ experience in dermatology. His interest of study is hair and scalp disorders which has led him to co-author a chapter on female pattern hair loss. He has also been involved in research projects including finding new mutations in patients with hair disorders and has published articles on hair loss in medical journals.
Dr Mohungoo specialises in non-surgical hair loss treatment to reduce the need or delay hair transplantation. He carries out initial consultations online via video link and then if suitable will provide a medical treatment plan.
