如何護理乾燥皮膚?

當天氣寒冷，空气乾燥，我們的皮膚很容易失去水分，變得乾燥，開裂和瘙癢。 在家裡，我們可能會調高暖氣, 並用熱水淋浴，以保暖。這些做法都会使你的皮膚变得更乾燥。干性皮膚可導致炎症，創傷和感染。 這裡有一些贴示，以保持你的皮膚光滑和濕潤。

使用合适的保濕霜

護膚霜可以幫助滋潤皮膚, 密封皮膚頂層細胞中的水分。 最好在沐浴或洗手後立即使用保濕霜。如果你會花時間在戶外, 你將需要一天數次使用保濕霜。購買一些便於攜帶的保濕霜更方便使用。有很多品牌的保濕霜可供選擇。 尋找那些不含酒精或香料，如Cetaphil保濕霜。

本產品無刺激性，不会诱发粉刺，無香味。 對於臉，有些人容易在臉的某些部分有過多的油，如“T區”，但是在臉頰上乾燥。Cetaphil Dermacontrol可以幫助除去過量的油，同時提供水化。 這些保濕劑可在美健药房購買。

Taking care of your skin in the cold weather

When the weather is cold and dry outside, it is easy for our skin to lose moisture and become dry, chapped and itchy.  At home, we might crank up the heat and take hot showers to keep warm. These can all further aggravate your dry skin.  Severe dry skin can lead to inflammation, wounds and infections. Here are some tips to keep your skin smooth and moist during the winter:

Use the right moisturizer

Skin cream and lotion can help re-hydrate the top layer of skin cells and seal in the moisture. It is best to apply moisturizer immediately after bathing or washing your hands because it will help seal in moisture while your skin is still damp. It is likely that you will need to reapply the moisturizer throughout the day, especially if you will be spending time outdoors.

There are many brands of moisturizers to choose from. Look for ones without alcohol or fragrance, such as Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. This product is non-irritating, non-comedogenic and fragrance-free.  For the face, some people are prone to having excess oil on some part of the face, like the "T-zone", but dryness on the cheeks. Cetaphil Dermacontrol can help remove excessive oil while providing hydration. These moisturizers are available at Custom Care Pharmacy.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream 453g
member price $16.99

Cetaphil Dermacontrol 120mL
member price $13.69

For people with sensitive skin or preferring a chemical-free moisturizer, Custom Care Pharmacy provides a 100% natural skin moisturizer that contains no chemical preservatives and no artificial fragrances or coloring.

The ALL NATURAL SKIN CREAM contains ingredients that are of 100% natural sources and vegetable origin.

Ask for it at Custom Care Pharmacy.

ALL NATURAL SKIN CREAM 30g airless pump $25.99

Home and Portable Humidifiers

For people who stays mostly indoors during the winter, a humidifier can help prevent dry skin, dry eyes, as well as dry or stuffy nose. Choose the one gallon water tank size humidifier for home use or the portable cup size humidifier for desk side or bedside use.

你今年注射流感疫苗了吗？

你今年注射流感疫苗了吗？

每個年龄在6個月以上的人都應該在10月底接種流感疫苗。

美健藥房正在為持有安省健康卡的成年人和5歲以上的兒童提供免費流感疫苗。

如果你10月或11月不在加拿大，你可以稍后注射您的流感疫苗。有些人可能要從國外旅行回来，一月下旬才注射他們的流感疫苗。

獲得一年一度的流感疫苗是保護自己与家人免受流感的最好方法。通過讓更多的人獲得流感疫苗，就有更多的人可以预防流感。老年人，非常幼小的兒童，懷孕婦女和健康狀況较差的人更容易得流感並發症。

對于准媽媽和新妈妈，她们可以安全地在懷孕期間和嬰兒出生後不久接種疫苗。由於新生嬰兒（0-6個月）太年輕，不能接受流感疫苗，建議媽媽接種疫苗，以保護媽媽和寶寶。即使你是母乳喂養，流感疫苗也是安全的。

流感病毒种类很多，它們还会不斷地變化。加拿大衛生部会在流感季節開始的6個月之前开始選擇流感病毒种类 ，它包含世界衛生組織推薦的北半球菌株。

可注射流感疫苗含有滅活疫苗，這意味著它不含任何活的流感病毒。另外，还有一种不同的，活的減毒（弱化）流感疫苗噴霧，可噴到鼻孔中。2歲至17歲的兒童有資格獲得鼻噴霧疫苗。如果您希望您的孩子接受鼻噴霧疫苗，請致電我們看看是否已有货。

美健藥房每週一至週五上午9:30至晚上8:00開放。週六上午9:30至下午5:00。無需預約即可注射流感疫苗。如果您有任何問題，請致電905-305-0111與我們聯繫。

另：2016年10月29星期六下午1-2点张美芝药剂师将主讲：肝脏健康专题之加拿大医疗与药物计划全接触。地址：105 Gibson drive Gibson centre, markham. 欢迎有兴趣的人士参与。
