5 TAKE CARE OF THE SKIN YOU RE IN WHY DOES ECZEMA SOMETIMES GET WORSE IN THE WINTER? You may find that eczema flares occur more frequently or worsen in the winter. Dry air combined with indoor heating systems can dry out your skin. Eczema flares because the skin cannot stay moist on its own. Flare-ups can also be caused by wearing too many layers of clothing, taking hot baths or showers, or using too many bed coverings. You can still get sunburnt in winter You need to make sure you still get your daily D in winter, which means spending a little more time out doors to get your dose. Use a daily moisturiser with SPF to protect your face. 354mL Hot showers / Dry skin 75g The lure of a hot shower definitely helps in getting out of bed on a cold morning. The hot water strips oils from your skin faster than warm water. Lock moisture back in as soon as you get out of the shower by moisturising L A humidifier can help relieve dry, chapped skin by adding moisture to the room while you sleep g Scars 30g g Concentrated Vitamin E cream promotes cell regeneration in scar tissues which helps to minimise scarring. 150g Your Pharmacist s advice is required. BE PREPARED: If you have young kids, a dreaded nits outbreak could strike at any time. Keep a lice treatment on hand so that you re prepared as soon as the head scratching starts mL TIP: Rotate 2-3 different shampoos as your scalp can get used to one type of medicated shampoo and stop working. Always read the label. Use only as directed. Your Pharmacist s advice may be required. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional. A dry, itchy scalp May be more than just dandruff. What is known as cradle cap in babies, is known as seborrheic dermatitis in everyone else. 40g Treat Coco-scalp shifts the scale: Psoriasis Eczema Seborrheic dermatitis Dandruff Join now and enjoy your LifeClub rewards! 5 May_Catalogue_1_ExmouthPharmacy_ART.indd 5 2/05/ :15 PM

7 Book a Healthy Heart Check Today! Assess your risk Know your numbers Change your habits EAT RIGHT Heart attacks are caused by a blood clot blocking one of the arteries of the heart. Your diet should be high in: Fibre Vegetables Wholegrains Maintain a healthy weight Eating right and being active will help you keep a healthy weight. Being overweight, means there is more blood produced so your heart has to work harder to circulate blood around your body. Do you know your numbers? You can help to manage high blood pressure and cholesterol by getting to know your numbers and working with your pharmacist and doctor to keep these under control. HEM 7130 QUIT Quitting smoking is the single best way to reduce your risk of heart disease. As a smoker, you are 4 times more likely to die from heart disease and at a much younger age. The good news is, you can reverse the harm by quitting!
