💧 You might be forgetting this in winter…

When the weather cools down, reaching for your water bottle might not be top of mind. But staying hydrated is important all year round — not just on hot summer days!

During winter, try these simple ways to keep your fluids up:

💧 Keep water within reach – having a bottle nearby can be a helpful reminder to drink regularly.

☕ Warm drinks count too – a warm cuppa can contribute to your daily fluid intake.

🍲 Think beyond the glass – soups and other fluid-rich foods can also contribute to hydration.

🥤 Drink regularly throughout the day – rather than waiting until you feel thirsty.

👵 Keep an eye on loved ones – older adults may be particularly vulnerable to dehydration and may not always recognise thirst as readily.

Some people may need to limit their fluid intake because of a medical condition, so always follow the advice of your healthcare professional if you've been given a specific fluid restriction.

💚 Have questions about staying well this winter?

🧴 Dry Winter Skin? Your Routine May Need an Upgrade

Is your skin feeling dry, tight, flaky, itchy or rough this winter? ❄️

Cooler weather, lower humidity, indoor heating and hot showers can all contribute to dry skin — and it’s not just your hands that can be affected. Your face, arms, legs, lips and body may all need a little extra care.

💧 Choose the right moisturiser
Lotions are generally lighter and easy to apply over larger areas, while creams are thicker and can provide more moisturising support for dry skin.

🛡️ Very dry skin? Consider an ointment
Ointments are thicker and greasier than creams and help form a protective barrier to reduce moisture loss. They can be particularly useful on very dry or cracked areas.

🚿 Moisturise after bathing
Apply your moisturiser soon after a shower or bath while your skin is still slightly damp to help lock in moisture.

🔥 Turn down the temperature
A long, hot shower might feel amazing on a cold morning, but hot water can make dry skin worse. Choose warm rather than very hot water.

🫧 Be gentle
If your skin is dry or sensitive, consider gentle, fragrance-free or soap-free cleansing options.

💚 Your skin needs can change with the seasons.

Not sure whether you need a lotion, cream or ointment? Pop into Pharmacy for Life and chat with our friendly team. We can help you find a skin-care routine that suits you.

If your skin is persistently itchy, inflamed, cracked, painful or not improving, speak with your pharmacist or another healthcare professional.

🌬️ Your inhaler only works properly if your technique does.

Using an inhaler might seem simple, but small technique mistakes can mean you don't get the intended dose of your medicine.

Some common inhaler technique mistakes include:

🫁 Not breathing out first – where appropriate for your inhaler, breathing out before taking your dose helps prepare you for the inhalation.

⏱️ Breathing in too quickly or too slowly – different types of inhalers require different inhalation techniques.

🤝 Poor coordination – some inhalers require you to press the device and breathe in at the right time.

😮‍💨 Not holding your breath afterwards – when appropriate, holding your breath briefly after inhaling can help the medicine deposit in your lungs.

🧼 Forgetting about cleaning and maintenance – keeping your device clean and checking how much medicine is left are important parts of inhaler care.

The tricky part? The correct technique depends on the type of inhaler you use.

💚 That's where we can help.

Bring your inhaler into Pharmacy for Life and ask our friendly pharmacists to check your technique. We can demonstrate how to use your particular device and help you feel confident you're using it correctly.

Don't change or stop your prescribed medicines without speaking with your healthcare professional.
