MEET OUR EXPERTS

JOYCE KAPNIASAmcal Category Manager – Beauty

As we move into a new season, spring is a great time to update your regime with new

products and improved formulations. My top pick for a growing trend this season continues to be ‘naturals’, from organic formulations in skincare (Sukin, page 20) to soft pinks and nude shades in lip colour (Natio, page 11).

BRINLEY HOSKINGAmcal Pharmacist

As a pharmacist, my goal is to empower patients to look after their health by providing information and support regarding everything

from preventative health to acute needs and chronic disease management.

JAMES NEVILEAmcal Senior Pharmacist

I believe being proactive about your health is extremely important – in many cases there are lots of things we can do to prevent disease.

A great start is knowing your risk factors then working with your GP, pharmacist and other

health practitioners to manage these.

SPRING 2018

This former Victoria’s Secret angel is all about the natural look. We find out more about how she lives a happy, healthy, successful life – while looking flawless.

by NATUREIntroducing glowing-from-within goddess Elyse Taylor

Tell us about your career to date: My journey has been fortunately long, but a hard-working one. I want to keep evolving and redirecting my career for as long as I can.

Do you miss doing runways? Doing shows feels like another lifetime. The things I miss most about runway shows are the girls and the friendships I made. It’s basically a month and a half of touring, covering New York, Milan and Paris. The people I met and the experiences I came across were incredible. Victoria’s Secret was the most memorable.

You’re an ambassador for Nude by Nature. What do you think of the brand? I love my partnership with Nude by Nature. I love the fact that the brand is 100% cruelty free and that they really embrace enhancing your own natural beauty. The Nude by Nature makeup range only uses natural ingredients, free from any parabens or other synthetic ingredients, and that’s really important to me.

“I CAN’T TRAVEL WITHOUT A FACE MASK, THE NUDE BY NATURE FLAWLESS CONCEALER AND A HAIR BRUSH.”

What’s your biggest achievement? My daughter, Lila.

How do you balance work life, travel and single parenting? I recharge by spending time with my daughter. I miss her when I’m on the road working because I travel so much.

What’s the most rewarding thing about motherhood? Teaching her and watching her become the most amazing little girl.

What’s the best advice you've ever received? Life only ever throws at you what you can handle. You are stronger than you think.

Tell us something not many people know: I recently got my driver’s licence.

Dine out or take away? Take away.

Books or movies? Movies.

Your favourite destination: Tulum with my daughter.

Coriander – yay or nay? For sure!

Solarpowered

Broad-spectrum UV protection with NEW, patented UVB-filtering

technology

Apply it right: 20 minutes before sun

exposure, use 5ml (one teaspoon) of sunscreen for each arm, leg, body

front, back and face. Reapply every two hours or every time you swim.

Laboratory studies have proven that this new patented, non-greasy, reef-friendly, anti-aging cream lets in more of the UVB light that our bodies use to make vitamin D, while providing full broad-spectrum sun protection. Australian-made-and-owned Solar D is suitable for sensitive skin and contains pro vitamin B5 for skin soothing, healing and regeneration. Solar D is also two hour water resistant and free from oils, parabens, oxybenzone, nanoparticles, PABA, gluten and animal cruelty.

Your skin type and the activities you’ll be doing all affect how your skin will react to the sun. Unsure what sunscreen is best for you and your family? Ask a friendly Amcal pharmacist about your options for worry-free time outdoors.

Skin protection isn’t one-size-fits-all

Banana Boat’s new Simply

Protect sunscreen, containing 25% fewer ingredients1, comes recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation and provides broad-

spectrum protection with no oxybenzone and no added oils or fragrances. It simply protects.

Suffering from eczema? Your Amcal pharmacist can help

One in three^ Australians suffer from eczema at some point in their lives, a chronic skin condition where patches of skin become red, dry and itchy. Caused by environmental irritants such as pollen, fragranced soap, or even stress, flare-ups can be prevented or treated – but eczema can't be cured. If you’re having trouble managing your eczema, an Amcal pharmacist can help you find the right treatment.

ALWAYS TEST A NEW PRODUCT ON A SMALL PATCH OF SKIN FIRST, TO SEE IF IT’S RIGHT FOR YOU

HOW TO MANAGE Moisturisers and anti-inflammatory creams work to ease the dryness and itchiness of eczema, while oral medication or light therapy may also provide some relief.

Soap-free cleanTo gently cleanse itchy and inflamed skin, Pinetarsol Gel contains a blend of

gentle surfactants that can be used on the face, hands or body.

PINETARSOL* Gel 100g, $7.95. #Save $2.20.

Amcal Pharmacist

Brinley Hosking’s

top tips

Stay cool Too much heat can aggravate eczema. Keep heaters on

low during winter, take lukewarm

showers and don’t bundle up too much at night.

Hydrate! There’s no such

thing as moisturing eczema-prone skin too often! Hydrate

skin two times a day at least, even when you’re not having a flare-up.

Ditch the diet Food-triggered eczema is rarer than you think,

but if you suspect it may be the case for you,

see a doctor or dietitian for allergy

testing before cutting foods

from your diet.

Reduce irritability

Dermaid 0.5% Soft Cream is specifically formulated for sensitive skin, with dispersed

hydrocortisone for gentle relief of minor skin irritations.

DERMAID* Cream Soft 0.5% 30g, $4.85.

Q: What are some male-specific health problems?A: One in two men aged over 40 are at

risk of coronary heart disease2. Men are also at high risk for dementia, chronic

respiratory diseases, diabetes and male-specific conditions

like prostate cancer.

Q: How can men improve their overall health

and wellbeing?A: The good news is that by knowing

the risk factors, and taking proactive steps

to minimise them, men can significantly reduce their risk of developing chronic

disease. Maintaining a balanced diet and

regular exercise, quitting smoking and seeing your

healthcare team on a regular basis are all great steps towards

better health.
