Securing Your Smile

Have you recently gotten dentures or do you know someone who does? Getting dentures can be a daunting experience but you are not alone. Did you know that 15 million people in the UK alone wear partial or full dentures?

If you are suffering from sore gums since getting your dentures and you are finding that your dentures are too hard, Permasoft is the perfect solution. The lining constantly adapts to your gums, providing the most comfortable fit.

What is Permasoft?

Permasoft is a soft denture lining which provides a semi-permanent solution for improving the fit and hold of loose dentures. Permasoft is easy to use and, as each carton contains 2 applications that last up to 3 months, it’s cost effective too!

Why choose Permasoft?

  • Provides perfect fit & hold
  • Is easy to apply
  • Free from zinc
  • Each pack contains 2 x applications

Where can I buy it?

You can buy Permasoft direct through our shop or at your local pharmacist.


Ere Ear, is that a new launch I hear!

Crescent Pharma OTC launches a brand new and wide range of earplugs, each one individually tailored to your personal need.

Do you find you are distracted by noises when working, woken up at night by the smallest of sounds or just hate getting water in your ears when swimming? Then Otifleks ear plugs are for you!

There are 3 different styles (moldable, personal care and lifestyle) allowing you to choose which form suits you best.

Moldable earplugs

These earplugs are perfectly sticky and marvellously mouldable to fit snuggly in your ear. They are made from the following:

  • Natural Beeswax
  • Lubricated Cotton
  • Silicone

Personal Care Earplugs

These earplugs come in a range of sizes, because every earhole is different. This is not a one size fits all. Find the ideal size for your own body. They are also made with a thermo reactive elastomer material which has no equal in the re-useable earplug market. The seamless, long-life, cushion-like and colourful elastomer is quick and easy to use, matching the body’s heat in just a few minutes. The earplug attains a remarkable ‘not there’ feeling, allowing use for up to eight hours without needing a break. Efficiency and effectiveness is maximised through an available selection of four earplug sizes. Comfort and utility come together with the latest breakthrough in hearing protection.

The types include:

  • Protector
  • GoodSleep
  • Ladybuds
  • Showersafe
  • Foam

Lifestyle

Finally we bring you the lifestyle choices. These include flier ear plugs which have a unique micro filter that reacts to pressure changes while protecting your peace and quiet. Another lifestyle option is swimmer, blocking out water with a not there feel. Reimagine your swim.

  • Flier
  • Swimmer

Visit our shop if any have caught your eye (or your ear!).

On Wednesday 21st December, Crescent decided to hold our annual Christmas lunch in aid of Children in Need.

Everyone made a tremendous effort, bringing in festive treats, homemade Christmas mugs and contributing to the fundraisers.

There were lots of fun and games with great prizes. This included:

  • Best Christmas jumper competition! As you can see from the pictures, there were some great ones!
  • Pin the nose on the reindeer
  • The Christmas Charity raffle

The day was a fantastic success, in total raising £400! Thank you to all the team.

Sleeping in the Hot Weather

Our 5 favourite tips to aid sleeping in the hot weather.

Cotton on to using cotton! Avoid the temptation of going completely starkers as the hot moisture will go straight to the mattress, heating your bed up. Cotton pyjamas lets your skin breathe and allows for air circulation.

 Cool (running) wrists. Run your wrists under cold water for 30 seconds. As your wrists are a pulse point, making them less hot will help keep your whole body temperature down as it cools the blood.

Embrace the darkness! Keep your curtains closed during the day to keep the heat at bay. When you come home from work then you can open up the curtains and windows to let the cool air in.

“Ice ice bottle, (dun du du dun du du dun dun)” Fill a hot water bottle with ice cold water or put it in the freezer to make an ice pack then take to bed to stop you from overheating.

Sheets of ice. Put your bed sheets in a plastic bag in the freezer for 30 minutes. Imagine the bliss of crawling into the refreshingly cold bed. Mmmm.

Bonus tip! Longer nights means those night owls are out and about for longer and louder. Try using some earplugs to block out any distracting sounds for a better night’s sleep.

Sleeping at Festivals

Sleeping at Festivals

If you, like us, struggle sleeping at festivals, then worry no more. We have collated the ultimate good night’s sleep tips.

Make your comfort ‘in-tents’. We suggest a blow up mattress for some elevation from a hard floor. Plus with a blow up bed you can set whether you want it firm or soft, providing optimum comfort. Avoid getting woken up by the sunshine streaming through your tent by wearing an eye mask to bed. Remember pyjamas so you have something dry to wear too.

Sleeping at Festivals

Earplugs! Whilst we know this may sound counterproductive, especially if you’ve gone to a music festival to listen to the music, earplugs are an essential for two reasons. Firstly, they are perfect for blocking sound from outside your tent to let you get some shut eye. For a good night’s sleep try our Otifleks Goodsleep Earplugs here. Secondly, looking after your hearing is crucial if you want to avoid tinnitus. Tinnitus is described as ringing in your ears, something you may relate to after you have been to a gig or been listening to loud music. Take care of your ears by wearing earplugs.

Sleeping at Festivals

No midnight snacks! Try not to eat too close to bed. Chocolate can be a sneaky one as it contains caffeine which can keep you up. Also if you are full your body is still digesting your food, making it harder to fall asleep.

Punish the pollen. If sleeping with the window open at home means you wake up sneezing then sleeping outside in a field probably isn’t going to help. Remember to take your allergy medication with you. Top tip: Smear some salve around your nostrils before falling asleep. The pollen will stick to the salve, without irritating your hayfever. Breathe free.

Sun Worshipper. To have the best chance of sleeping at festivals, wear sunscreen during the day and try and find shade when the sun is at its peak.

If all else fails, book a hotel outside of the festival and dream away!

Benefits of Honey

Benefits of Honey

Honey has so many unusual uses therefore we’re buzzing to share with you what this liquid gold can do.

You say hay-fever, we say ‘bye’-fever. If you’re a regular allergy sufferer whenever summer comes to play, then this may be a game changer. As bees collect pollen from plant to plant, eating locally produced honey can help. Eating a daily amount of honey can desensitize you to pollen, acting like an allergy shot.

You are the wash that I want, you are the wash I want. Ooh ooh ooooh, Honey! Believe it or not, you can wash your hair with honey. It’s great for conditioning your hair, leaving it feeling silky and soft. People have also washed their face with honey for centuries due to honey’s ability to help soften skin and even reduce acne. Check out Well + Good’s review of swapping facewash for honey.

Buzz-zzZ. One of the benefits of honey is that it can help you to get to sleep. If you have ever woken up in the middle of night this could be a sign of high stress levels. Honey and salt are known to reduce the hormones associated with stress. To help you drift of, it’s suggested to have a spoonful of honey with a sprinkling of salt before bed, or if you get woken up in the middle of the night.

Hay fever tips

Hay fever Tips

Summertime often fills the majority of the nation with joy and excitement. Going out in the sun, sharing a BBQ with some friends or even getting round to some much needed gardening are just some of the better sides to being in the great weather. However, for one in five people in the UK, summer spells the dreaded season of hay fever. Continuous sneezing fits, itchy eyes and throat and a stuffy, blocked nose are to name but a few of the nasty symptoms hay fever sufferers go through each year.

Luckily, we have compiled a list of some useful tips to help you fight back against hay fever. There are so many out there, but here are our favourite hay fever tips.

Be a cool dude or dudette

To help protect your eyes during the summer, wearing sunglasses will not only block out the blinding UV rays from the sun, but also help stop pollen from reaching your eyes. Wraparound styles are the most effective type to wear during the summer season.

Failing to prepare, is preparing to fail

Antihistamines are the most commonly used medicines to combat and prevent symptoms from allergies, particularly hay fever. We recommend taking them around two weeks before you really need them. By doing this, the effectiveness will be substantially increased compared to starting them from when the first symptoms appear. Antihistamines come in different forms including eye drops, nasal sprays, one-a-day tablets such as cetirizine and liquid oral solutions such as Allerief.

‘R-awww Honey, you shouldn’t have’

Local raw honey contains grains of pollen. If you have a teaspoon of honey every day, your body will gradually develop immunity to the pollen in your area over time. This isn’t one of our hay fever tips that has been scientifically proven, but it is supported by a large number of people swearing by the remedy, meaning we think it’s definitely worth a try.

Don’t let the bedbugs bite, Shower at night

Being out of the house, you will potentially have been exposed to a high amount of pollen. Showering before bed, will wash most of the pollen off (especially in the hair). This means it won’t get on your bed sheets, allowing for a better night’s sleep.

Offer your nostrils a chance at ‘Salve-ation’

Apply a small amount of Vaseline or nasal salve around the nostrils at the beginning of the day. This will help to trap pollen and stop it from going into the sinuses.

Give yourself a window of opportunity

It is always tempting to open your windows at night as you might feel uncomfortable from the heated summer evenings. However, it will be much more beneficial to keep them closed and get a better nights sleep. Keeping your windows shut will help to keep your home allergen free.

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside.

Pollen levels are always relatively low by the sea, so take a trip down out the coast. Have fun splashing in water, building sandcastles, eating ice creams and being hay fever symptom free.
