We were inspired by a lovely member of our Little Lifts Community who wanted to give her mum a pamper evening but was unsure about what was suitable for her during breast cancer treatment.
People receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment may experience dry, red, irritated and sensitive skin which can be uncomfortable and painful.
Finding products that have skin soothing, hydrating and repair properties can help. Try looking for:
Cleanse
Moisturise
Protect
We took our lovely volunteer and beneficiary Sharon for a gentle mini facial with amazing Nicci, Tropic Amabassador. Nicci picked products and a routine that was simple, with breast cancer treatment in mind, focusing on cleansing, moisturising and protecting the skin.
Her picks:
Tropic products are natural, unscented, pH-neutral and kind to the environment. All important properties of skincare during breast cancer treatment.
Time out for a pamper from someone else or yourself can also benefit your wellbeing, helping to aid relaxation and rest.
We have products that feature across our Boxes which you could use on your next pamper night!
Cleanser, moisturiser, lip balm, pulse point roller, candle, soap bar, bamboo cloth

Remember not all products maybe suitable for you. If you are unsure, check products with your breast care/medical team.
