5 Reasons to use Chemist Direct
Chemist Direct is a company I was unfamiliar with until quite recently.It is an online Chemist service and drugstore that also sells a wide range of bath, hygiene and skincare products, along with vitamins and medicines, suncreams and haircare ranges.

In general, I tend to get ‘bathroom and beauty’ products from a range of different places, from the supermarket to Boots or Superdrug, even my local chemist attached to the Doctor’s surgery, so a place where it is all…
