As summer heats up in beautiful Barbados, staying cool and avoiding heat-related illnesses like heat stroke becomes essential. At Henley Pharmacies, we have a range of products to help you stay refreshed and safe. Here are some top tips and recommended products to beat the heat effectively.


Stay Hydrated: The Foundation of Summer Health

Drink Plenty of Water


Water is your best friend during the hot summer months. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. Dehydration can lead to heat stroke, so always carry a water bottle with you.



Hydrating Beverages

In addition to water, consider hydrating beverages like coconut water or electrolyte solutions available at Henley Pharmacies. These drinks help replenish the salts and minerals lost through sweating.



Keep Cool with Alcolado Glacial

The Benefits of Alcolado Glacial

Alcolado Glacial, known as the air-conditioner in a bottle, is a must-have during the summer. This mentholated lotion provides an instant cooling sensation, helping to lower your body temperature quickly.



How to Use Alcolado Glacial

Apply Alcolado Glacial to your skin after a shower or anytime you need a quick cool-down. Focus on pulse points like your wrists, neck, and temples for the best effect. You can find Alcolado Glacial at Henley Pharmacies.


The Cooling Power of Limacol

Limacol is another fantastic product for beating the heat. This refreshing lotion helps cool the skin and provides relief from the sweltering heat.



Using Limacol for Maximum Effect

Dab Limacol on a cotton pad and apply it to your face and body. It's perfect for a midday refresh or after sun exposure. Henley Pharmacies stocks Limacol, making it easy for you to stay cool



Dress Appropriately for the Weather

Choose Light and Breathable Fabrics

Wearing light-colored, loose-fitting clothing made of natural fabrics like cotton can help your body stay cool. These materials allow your skin to breathe and reduce the risk of overheating.

Use Hats and Sunglasses

Protect yourself from direct sunlight by wearing wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses. This not only helps keep you cool but also protects your skin and eyes from harmful UV rays.



Recognize the Signs of Heat Stroke

Symptoms to Watch For

Heat stroke is a serious condition. Be aware of symptoms like high body temperature, confusion, dizziness, and nausea. If you or someone else shows signs of heat stroke, seek medical attention immediately.

Immediate Actions

Move the person to a cooler place, apply cool, wet cloths to their body, and have them sip water if they are conscious. Acting quickly can prevent severe health consequences.
