Your baby’s skin is delicate, thin and burn easi

Your baby’s skin is delicate, thin and burn easily when exposed to the sun. It is important to protect your child’s skin from the sun as early and prolonged skin exposure will increase the risk of skin cancer later in life.

For children under 6 months of age, widespread sunscreen is not recommended. Protect their skin by:

☀️ Shade

☀️ Clothing

☀️ Hats

If sunscreen is necessary or your child is over 6 months old:

☀️ Choose a zinc oxide base or sensitive/child sunscreen

☀️ Avoid preservatives

☀️ Patch test on skin

☀️ Use on small areas of their skin

If possible, avoid outdoor playtime when UV radiation levels are highest. That is between about 9 am and 4 pm, depending on time of the year and your location in Australia.

Having fun in the sun and being outdoors are where some of the best memories are made. Stay sun safe and healthy 🏖 #healthy #health #holiday #skincare #skin #baby #kids #pharmacy #carmendrivepharmacy

There are so many sunscreens available and they are not all created equally.

Which sunscreens are suitable for sensitive skin and why?

Chemical sunscreens such as oxybenzone, which absorb UV range to change them into heat, then releasing that heat from the skin. They are known to cause irritation and although rare, can cause allergies including photo-allergy reactions which can resemble sunburn.

Some people may react to the fragrance, preservative, UV absorber in the sunscreen. Redness, itchiness, blistering of the skin are some of the symptoms of a sunburn irritation and allergies.

Zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are know to be less irritating. They create a physical barrier between your skin and the sun’s dangerous rays. They work by deflecting and scattering damaging UV rays away from the skin. These are also suitable for children.

If you have sensitive skin:

✅ Always read the ingredients on the label

✅ Choose a sunscreen that contains zinc oxide or titanium oxide

✅ Test a small area

Ask our team for more information or options and we will be happy to help! We want you to have fun in the sun while staying healthy ☀️ #holiday #skincare #health #healthy #pharmacy #sun #familyholiday

Do you keep a spare key for your home? Carry change in the car? Or use your home and contents insurance?

Preparing for those ‘just in case’ scenarios gives you a peace of mind and allows you to focus on the more important things.

Keep a basic first aid kit in your bag for the whole family. There is no time to source out for those first aid items when you’re in an emergency. Also, remember to your sunscreen ready in your bag before you get to your sunny destination.

One more important thing to have with you is a COVID safe family kit.

We recommend the following items for your COVID safe kit:
- Face masks including spares
- Zip lock bag or container to store your masks
- Anti-bacterial wipes
- Tissues
- FLO travel nasal spray
- Pen
- List of your medications

Additional items to take with you:
- Vitamin C and immune boosting vitamins
- Anti-viral room spray or disinfectant eg. Milton's solutions
- Thermometer
- Gloves
- Anti-fog lens wipes
- Detergent to wash your reusable masks

Being prepared will increase your chance of keeping you and those around you safe and protected.

Thank you for letting us help you prepare for your family getaway. We hope you have a healthy and happy holiday.

Packing for medications does not only include ones

Packing for medications does not only include ones that have been prescribed by your doctor but also medications for common travel illnesses.

Prepare for the holiday sickness scenario. That includes diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, motion sickness, dehydration, headaches, stings and bites, cold and flu.

If you’ve got your family medication kit ready, you’ll have them on the quick road to recovery and back to having fun! #holiday #familyholiday #familytravel #travel #traveller #health #travelhealth #healthy #pharmacy #medicine #carmendrivepharmacy

Having fun in the sun, hiking trails and enjoying

Having fun in the sun, hiking trails and enjoying a few glasses of wine are activities that can cause dehydration.

While oral rehydration solution such as Rehydraid are often recommended for management of dehydration caused by diarrhoea, it can also be taken for any condition that can cause fluid loss.

By packing some rehydration solution, you’ll come prepared and get your family back into the holiday spirit in no time. #travel #travelhealth #health #pharmacy #healthy #family #holidays #familyholiday #familytrip

What’s the ONE THING you can do before embarking

What’s the ONE THING you can do before embarking on that long-awaited family holiday?

Take a probiotic.

Probiotics contain ‘good’ bacteria that keep the ‘bad’ bacteria away. Taking one dose a day before you travel can boost your immune system and reduce your risk of diarrhoea caused by common travel bugs.

Our pharmacists explain when it is best to take your probiotics to ensure you and your family stay healthy throughout your trip. #holiday #holidays #schoolholidays #familyholidays #travel #familytravel #travelhealth #health #healthy #pharmacy #carmendrivepharmacy

You got this. You can be healthier. There may be

You got this. You can be healthier.

There may be some days when you feel that all the steps you take to become healthier, just doesn’t seem to count. You want to feel and see the results quick.

Being healthier is an ongoing goal. It’s a life changing goal which will soon become a habit.

So walk those extra 10 steps, take a 5 minute break to take a few deep breaths, cut back one cup of soft drink for 2 weeks, book that blood test or ask that question about your health or medication that you’ve been avoiding. It’s those small efforts that count.

Make those small efforts. We’ll be cheering for you ❤️ #carmendrivepharmacy #healthy #health #pharmacy #goals #healthgoals #healthier
