Being a Townsville community-based pharmacy, we understand the importance of sun care for the whole family. Sunscreen does not need to be as scary or as complicated as we like to make it seem.

Stress is a natural feeling, but some do feel it affects their life more so than others. Stress can be taking an exam, time management, a new job or long-term stress. Stress effects everyone differently, therefore it is important to make sure you are dealing with your stress in the most effective way. Stress can have quite an effect on your body, difficultly sleeping, lack of concentration, poor immune system and fatigue.

Here at Friendlies we understand that there is not one skin alike.  From troubled skin to mature skin it is important to understand that a skin care routine is ideal.  Now this does not mean it has to be an eight-step process with eight different products to be used every morning and night.  It can be as simple as the following three steps.

​In pharmacy, customers often ask to have a wound assessed. Happily, we can often help with simple wound care advice, although sometimes this is a very tricky area of care.  The skin is the largest body organ.  It protects our body, keeping the harsh insults outside and keeping a perfect environment inside the body.  Breaks in the skin may invite germs in. Skin has many kinds of cells including immune cells and protective good bacteria.  Skin grows through layers so sometimes wounds can take a very long time to heal.  (These are called chronic wounds.)
