Wash Hands

Washing your hands is a powerful weapon.

In the current environment where people are rushing out to buy sanitisers and washes to kill off COVID-19 and prevent its transmission, there has been a raft of misinformation on what to use and what works. This hasn’t been helped by shortages and people trying to find alternatives in the face of sold out sanitisers.

Border Compounding Pharmacy Pharmacist Lee Mcloughlan says: “We have noticed a large increase in the use of PEA over the last year. This is largely due to the fact that people are getting fantastic results for pain and eczema. We are noticing also that it is being recommended more and more by general practitioners and pain specialists accross the border, due to the fact it appears to be very safe and their patients are reporting its effectiveness”.

However, after reading a number of articles promoting electrolyte based skincare, at this stage we just have to dismiss these products as a gimmick.
