Skincare products to pamper yourself during cancer treatments
Going through a breast cancer diagnosis is extremely difficult, both emotionally and physically. During this challenging time, it's crucial to make sure you're taking care of yourself - and part of that means soothing your body and mind with relaxation. Made with clean ingredients and free from any synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances or parabens, these products will nourish your skin when it needs it the most.
HAND AND FEET TREATMENT
Both radiation and chemo treatments can cause your skin to get sore and thin, especially on your hands and feet. The Woman Divine Dry Skin Remedy for Hands & Feet will help hydrate, soothe and soften your skin. It's nourishing and protective, made with plant-based ingredients that will leave your skin healthy and extra soft. If you're experiencing extreme dryness, apply it on in the evening and slip on a pair of cotton socks or gloves for an effective overnight treatment.

AT-HOME FACIAL
Face masks are all the rage, and for women who are going through treatment or have just completed treatment, pampering yourself can make a world of a difference. The Odacite Deep Hydration Mask is deeply rejuvenating and designed to make your skin glow. It's made with organic olive and jojoba oils to renew moisture and elasticity, along with organic calendula to stimulate the skin. The added lavender is our favourite touch, as it soothes and calms any look of redness.

FACE AND NECK MOISTURIZER
It's no secret that radiation and chemo are harsh on your skin, which is why a daily skincare regimen may be something to consider. Aside from helping you feel more comfortable in your day to day, a quality lotion will also help calm redness and provide deep hydration. CV Skinlabs Calming Moisture does exactly that and so much more. Application only takes a few minutes out of your day and the long-term effects are well worth it. It's also incredible for those who have extremely dry scalps during treatment.

CALMING BATH
Nothing says relaxation like a soothing soak in the tub, especially when paired with a Lavender Foaming Bath. Not only is it made with natural ingredients like lavender essential oil and aloe extracts, it is also cruelty-free.
BODY CARE
Taking care of your skin doesn't just stop at your face and neck. Thin and dry skin can often be itchy, sore, uncomfortable and even cause cracking. Daily application of thick and effective body butter, like the cult-favourite Weleda Skin Food, can completely change that. Its whipped texture melts into the skin with ease, while shea and cocoa seed butter nourish and hydrate for moisture that lasts.
Weleda Skin Food Body Butter, $18.99
