Have you checked today’s UV?

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can be high even on cool and overcast days. Overexposure to UV radiation from the sun is a major cause of skin cancer.*

The temperature does not affect UV radiation levels, so it’s important to check it before heading out, and pack sun protection. This includes SPF 50+ sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing.

You can check the daily UV on this site - https://www.myuv.com.au/

Being sun safe is important all year round, but more than ever during summer!

Australia experiences some of the highest UV levels in the world. Because Australia is near the equator, we are closer to the sun in summer than the northern hemisphere are.*

That's why it's so important the protect your skin against harmful UV by using:
- SPF50+ sunscreen
- Broad-brimmed hats
- Protective sunglasses
- Shade

Come in and speak to our pharmacists today about the best ways to protect yourself from the sun this summer.

How well do you take care of your lungs?

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, which makes it more important than ever to check up on your lung health.

Like the rest of our body, our lungs need daily attention. Quitting smoking is one of the best steps you can take toward better lung health. Stopping smoking decreases the risk of lung and other cancers, and has immediate health benefits:*
- After 12 hours, almost all ni****ne will be out of your system.
- After 24 hours, the level of carbon monoxide in your blood will drop dramatically, and you will have more oxygen in your bloodstream.

If you need help quitting, come in-store today and speak to our pharmacists about our smoking cessation solutions.
