CARING FOR THE SKIN WHILE ON CHEMOTHERAPY OR RADIATION THREATMENT

Skin care for anyone going through chemotherapy or radiation treatment, is sometimes a daunting task. The doctor’s number one priority (as it should be) is on curing and beating the cancer enemy. Chemotherapy and radiation treatment causes the skin to become dry, acne, and hyperpigmentaion occurs. Going to your corner drugstore may cause more harm, because many items contain alcohol, which will combat the skin problems more. The correct skin care regiment would be:
• to keep the skin as moist as possible
• use only lukewarm water and a very mild calming cleanser
• avoid the use of perfumes (alcohol content)
• do not exfoliate your skin at all
• go to a certified oncology estheticician
• find a professional skincare line that caters to cancer patients
I recommend Lindi Skin Care you can order online at www.lindiskin.com or
