Centrum tip – Skin as dry as the desert?
After the long summer stretch, your skin looks like the Karoo without the windmills, sheep and fences. Here’s what to do.
Centrum tip - Skin care in autumn
As your summer tan fades to sallow yellow, the remains of mini-scars from insect bites and scratches from your camping trips could loom into view on your now-pale skin.
Centrum tip - Fragrant ageing
Stay away from perfumed or flavoured suntan lotions which smell of coconut oil or orange if you want your skin to stay young.
Centrum tip - Did you wash your hands?
Hand washing, correctly done, can easily prevent the spread of germs.

Centrum tip - A mite-y problem
There are bugs living in your bed and there are plenty of them. They’re called house dust mites and they quietly live off the flakes of skin you shed.
Centrum tip - Beat germs with soap and water
The best way to rid your hands of germs is by simply washing with soap and water, a new University of North Carolina study finds.
Centrum tip – Avoid drying out this winter
Winter brings with it not only cosy log fires, hot soup and cuddly blankets, but also dry skin. If your skin is dry, it means that it lacks water or oil.
Centrum tip - Licking your lips?
Don't lick your lips to moisten them. Unfortunately, even though saliva soothes momentarily, it eventually dries out the lips, irritating them even more.
Centrum tip – Drowning in perspiration?
Sweating is the body's natural way of cooling you down but if you're sweating like a horse, take solace in the fact that there's a lot you can do.
Centrum tip – Hec-tick!
Ticks, often found in heavily wooded areas, can attach themselves to your skin or clothing.
Centrum tip – Bye-bye stretch marks
Pregnant? Then the thought of lingering stretch marks has probably crossed your mind.
Centrum tip – Tattoos: in fashion or infection?
