As we head into spring, which will hopefully shortly be followed by a summer of some sorts, many women (and men of course) will be planning their ultimate Big Day. Yes, wedding season 2015 is upon us!
And no-one, absolutely no-one - not the bride, the groom, the bride's mother, the bridesmaids, the best man, the guests or even the wedding singer - want to have the date marred by a cold sore.
So, what is the best way to keep a cold sore at bay and, should the worst come to the worst, is there a cold sore remedy to help an outbreak heal fast?
Prevention is best
Okay, we know this is almost impossible but try to stay as stress-free as possible if you want to hold back a cold sore outbreak.
Try using the Herstat LipCare Stick to keep your lips and skin around your mouth moist and to protect the delicate area from UV-A and UV-B sun damage.
Eating well and ensuring you are choc-full of the right vitamins and minerals can also be a great help in preventing a cold sore - Vitamins C and E are particularly helpful, so by including red berries, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, lemons, nuts and seeds in your diet, you can, hopefully, help your body ward off the evil herpes simplex virus (HSV-1).
Oh no, you feel the tingle!
So, your wedding is just a few days away, the bridesmaids dresses don't fit anymore, the baker's shop has called to say the cake has collapsed, your maid of honour has gone down with measles and your dad wants to know if he can sing his favourite Elvis song at the reception - it's all getting a bit much and suddenly, in the midst of all the pandemonium going on around you, you feel that dreaded tingle at the corner of your mouth.
"NOW IS NOT THE TIME!" you may howl, but screaming out your frustration will not help. So, if you want your wedding photos to feature your face, you'd better find something to help the outbreak heal fast.
Herstat Cold Sore Care ointment is clinically proven to be a more efficient treatment than many of the well-known products on the market. It can be applied at any time during an outbreak and can significantly help reduce the time you have to endure an outbreak. The pleasant-to-use ointment reduces pain, itchiness and redness and helps to prevent the area becoming dry and cracked.
Wedded bliss and Herstat - a match made in heaven
So, if you are getting married in the coming weeks or months - or if you are about to be a bridesmaid, groom's man or you have been invited to a wedding - and you want to look your best on the big day, why not invest in some Herstat Cold Sore Care ointment and a handy Herstat LipCare Stick.
Keep them at home, keep them at work, have a tube at home, in your car and in your handbag - then, wherever you are at whatever time of the night or day, you can let Herstat get to work to help you be cold sore-free on that very special day!
