Perveen completed her undergraduate training in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia. She graduated with a Biology (BSc.) degree from Saint Mary's University in 1992 and received her BSc.(Pharm) degree in 1996 from Dalhousie University.

Since moving to Ottawa she has also completed a certification in Women's Health which continues to be a topic of interest to her.

Perveen has always held an interest in providing education to others as well as continued learning for herself. She currently sits on the continuing education committee of the Ottawa-Carleton Pharmacists' Association which provides live education events for it's members.

Perveen has worked with Shoppers Drug Mart for over 10 years and currently manages the pharmacy located inside Murale.

She has always had a passion for dermatology. From a pharmacy perspective, her goal is to merge optimal prescription therapy with optimal over-the-counter non prescription products eg. cleansers and moisturizers. The Shoppers Simply Pharmacy location supports this concept.

She looks forward to working together with the other experts at Murale, patients and physicians to bring to you a comprehensive step-wise approach to skin health.

Some of my favourite products which I am currently using include:
 
Bioderma sensibio micellar water
Caudalie moisturizing cream for sensitive skin
Natural FX water based foundation with spf 15

A scent—maybe more than a hairstyle, or the set of your stride—is a signature. Obsession defined your university roommate (in more ways than one, but that’s another story), and Chanel No. 5 is all mom. So what’s your signature scent?

 

Physiology drastically affects the way a fragrance smells on us—so just because Chanel works for mom doesn’t mean it will work for you. Fragrances interact with the oils in our skin to impart a distinct scent—that signature aroma. The pH (just how acidic or alkaline) of your skin is like a fingerprint—it’s all yours, and so is the aroma of any given fragrance when it combines with your skin.

 

What that means is that shopping for a signature scent is a little more complicated than sniffing the samples handed to you in the store—and a lot more fun. I tell customers to thoroughly test a fragrance. Wear it for a day. Ask friends how they like the scent on you. Experiment. With so many new fragrances joining the time-tested classics, the possibilities are truly endless.
