Enjoy a Healthy Summer: Leveraging FSA and HSA Funds
As the summer months arrive, they bring with them countless opportunities for outdoor fun, travel, and social events. However, the heat and increased activity also mean potential health concerns such as allergies, sunburns, and dehydration. Fortunately, Health-E Commerce® is here to guide you on making the most of your tax-free Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) funds to maintain your health and enhance your summer experiences. Here are eight essential strategies to consider:
1. Allergy Relief
If you suffer from seasonal allergies, products like
Caring Mill 24-Hour Allergy Relief (Cetirizine Hydrochloride) are available to provide a non-drowsy solution to help you enjoy outdoor activities without the discomfort of sniffles and sneezing.
2. Time-saving Bundles
Simplify your shopping by exploring bundles like the
Fun-in-the-Sun Bundle and
Travel Essentials Bundle at FSA Store and HSA Store. These curated kits include products essential for a healthy and enjoyable summer, whether you're heading to the beach or going on a road trip.
3. First-aid Kits
An essential component of summer safety is having adequate first-aid supplies on hand. Refresh your first-aid kit with essentials like the
Johnson & Johnson All-Purpose First Aid Kit or unique offerings like
Welly Bravery Bandages, designed especially for children.
4. Itch Relief
Insect bites and minor skin irritations can be a real nuisance during summer. Solutions such as
Benadryl Itch Relief Stick and
Caring Mill Bug Bite Relief Patches can offer quick relief, allowing you to focus on your enjoyment rather than itching.
5. Proper Hydration
To combat the risk of dehydration in the summer heat, products like
Cure Hydrating Electrolyte Drink Mix help replenish lost fluids and keep your energy up on especially hot days.
6. Sun Protection
Protecting your skin from the sun is critical. FSA- and HSA-eligible sunscreens like
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UV Sport Sunscreen SPF 50 and
COOLA Classic Body Organic Sunscreen Spray SPF 70 provide vital protection while you soak up the sun.
7. Award-winning Skincare
Consider investing in your skincare routine this summer with award-winning products from recognized brands. Rest assured, these items are eligible for purchase using your FSA or HSA. Brands like
ZitSticka and
Supergoop! offer products that fit your summer skincare needs.
8. Custom Insoles
Increased activities like hiking or gardening can lead to foot pain. Address this by utilizing custom insoles from
Bilt Labs, which are tailored to your foot's specific needs and can prevent discomfort.
Using your FSA or HSA funds strategically not only allows you to maximize your investment in your health but also ensures a more enjoyable summer. For further information about which products are FSA or HSA eligible, visit
