DRUGSTORE

Chemist and pharmacy is British English while drugstore is

American English, although pharmacy is also common.

1.(chiefly US, Canada) A pharmacy; a retail store, the main

product of which is medications (usually both prescription and
non-prescription), along with first aid and other similar products.
Most drugstores also carry an assortment of other health
and beauty products, and some may carry many other products
such as groceries, books and magazines, consumer electronics,
etc. Some drugstores may obtain the majority of their revenue
from these additional products.
Some supermarkets (large grocers) and department stores
may have a pharmacy inside the main store, but such a pharmacy
is not usually referred to as a drugstore.

Personal hygiene;
There's normally a wide selection of personal hygiene products. Many
English people like to soak in a long, hot bath, and so there's a huge
market in bath oils, bath salts or bubble bath all ways to add nice
smells to your bath! You can also buy nail scissors and emery
boards (to file your nails) and pumice stone, to rub away dry skin from
your feet. For oral hygiene, you can
buy toothbrushes, toothpaste and dental floss, which is like string
that you use to clean between your teeth.
You can also buy face and body creams, moisturizer (cream to prevent
your skin from going dry), soap and deodorant. Other items you can
find in this section of the chemist are razors, to shave hair from your

body, shaving foam; and feminine hygiene products, such

as tampons and sanitary towels.
Hair care;
Chemists also stock a range of hair products. You can
buy shampoo and conditioner (to wash your hair) and products to
colour hair. For styling your hair you can buy gel or mousse, which
act a bit like glue to keep your hair in a particular style. You can also
buy hair brushes or combs, to make your hair neat, and hair
grips and hair slides, which are plastic objects that keep your hair in
place.
Make up;
If you are looking for cosmetics or make-up, you can find eyeliner (or kohl), mascara (for your eyelashes) and eye-shadow, which is
coloured powder to put on your eyelids. You can also
buy foundation (a cream to put on your face to give an even
surface), blusher (to add colour to your cheeks), lipstick (which adds
colour to your lips), and lip-gloss which adds shine to your lips. To
colour your nails you can use nail polish, also known as nail varnish
Baby care;
Many people buy nappies (diapers) for their babies at chemists. Along
with the nappies are other products for babies, such as nappy
cream, cotton wool buds(lengths of plastic tipped with soft cotton to
clean a baby's ears, for example), baby wipes (to help clean a baby)
and so on.
