QV is specifically developed to help treat skin issues such as eczema and psoriasis and maintain skin health. It is the top moisturiser in Australia and now that the brand is launching in the UK they are giving out free sample packs to introduce mums here to the product.
According to the brand, a recent UK survey of over 100 dry skin sufferers carried out with the help of leading on-line eczema resource ‘Talk Eczema’ showed that 89% of people trying the product felt that the product was different to their previous dry skin products and 99% said they intended to tell their doctor about it. They reported that they preferred QV because it is fragrance and colour free, easy to apply, less greasy and more soothing than their previous products they had tried.
All QV products are colour and fragrance free and do not contain soap, propylene glycol or lanolin. The QV range consists of:
- QV Bath Oil is a pleasant bath oil, which helps to manage dry skin conditions and can as frequently as required in the bath or shower. QV Bath is suitable for infants upwards. QV Bath Oil can also be used for patients in bed or massaged directly onto the skin
- QV Cream is a highly effective moisturising cream that can be used as required on dry skin, especially after showering, bathing, shaving, exposure to harsh climatic conditions and at night
- QV Skin Lotion offers a light approach for everyday relief of dry skin and maybe applied as often as required, to affected areas
- QV Wash is a soap free alternative cleanser for the treatment of dry, scaly skin and providing symptomatic relief of symptoms of atopic or infantile eczema and psoriasis. Used as required QV wash should be lightly massaged onto skin, rinsed off and gently dried.

Guest post by Drew Davies at Big Yellow Self Storage
Space is never more at a premium than when a baby is on the way, but most of us hoard our belongings so de-cluttering to make room for the new addition to the family can feel like a Herculean task. Putting your things in self storage can help create that much needed space without throwing things out you might need later. And by following these storage tips, you’ll have a clutter free home in no time.
Size is everything
First up, make a list of the items and then group them according to how you will organise them. Start by identifying items that will be packed in boxes and stacked, then prioritise boxed items you will want to access most frequently.
Divide by fragility or weight, as heavier (make sure you have someone to do the heavy lifting if you’re expecting), sturdier items should be stored on the bottom of stacked items with fragile items on top. Then consider awkwardly-sized items that won’t stack well, including how often you will need to use them, and how heavy they are.
Storing Books
Books can be surprisingly heavy if too many of them are stacked together so the best way to pack these is to use small boxes for efficient use of the self storage space. Stack smaller books over larger books and make sure that they’re arranged horizontally (never vertically) because it can damage the spine.
Storing Clothing
Clothing should be stored in wardrobe boxes, on hangers, to retain their original shapes. Keep out of season clothes accessible, as you may need to store your clothing for longer than anticipated. Finally, place some moth balls inside the boxes where you store your clothes to prevent any damage.
Storing Mattresses
If you’re turning your spare bedroom into a nursery, you may want to store a mattress or two. Wrap your mattresses in the special bags available at most supermarkets and DIY stores. These not only prevent them from losing shape but protect them from absorbing moisture as well. If you store it for longer than a year, change the plastic covering once annually.
Writing on All Sides
Write down what each box contains and to what kind of room it belongs. Don’t just write it on one side, as sometimes it may be stacked in such a way that your label will be hidden from view.
And there you have it – everything packed up and stored!
