SAFE SKIN CARE DURING CANCER TREATMENT

For most people, a cancer diagnosis is devastating. The thought of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and all the negative side effects can be overwhelming. So skin care can seem like one of the least important things to think about in the early stages of treatment. But an appropriate skin care routine can be a vital part of treatment and recovery.

Fortunately, there is a selection of Germaine de Capuccini products which met the strict guidelines for use before, during and after chemotherapy and radiation therapy, to ensure your skin is well protected.

Why proper skin care is important?

Using the right products is vital. The same drugs that kill off the cancer cells also affect the growth of your skin cells. Most people know about the hair loss that comes with chemo, but it can also result in dull, greying skin that is dry, sensitive, and irritated. Your doctors will likely ask you to completely review your usual routine. Dry skin isn’t just a cosmetic problem. Skin which is so severely dehydrated as a result of harsh cancer treatments can become inflamed and more susceptible to infections.

When should I start a new routine?

Rather than waiting to deal with symptoms after treatment starts, patients can take steps to minimise skin issues before beginning chemo. That way your new routine can continue once your treatment begins. With the right information and self care, there’s a lot you can do to keep looking like yourself. That in turn, can help you keep feeling like yourself. Confidence and positive thinking play a significant role in recovery, and getting your life back to normal

Germaine de Capuccini has several products which are gentle, hydrating, and hypoallergenic, and can be used to prepare your skin to better deal with the potential side effects. Some contains prebiotic and probiotics to rebalance the skin’s microbiome which is extremely gentle on the skin, immediately reduces burning and itching. Some products help prepare and strengthen your skin, and safe to use throughout your treatment.

But you should always double check with your doctors.
