Chemotherapy
“The Recovery serum is my favorite thing. My skin is so happy. It’s just wonderful. I don’t feel any of the dryness and tightness. My face feels like a baby. And the Moisturizing Mist, I spritz it all day long.
It’s really amazing what you guys have done for me. If I had to worry about the things that you have helped me with, it would have made this whole journey so much more difficult. The things that you have helped me with: my scalp, and my mouth, and my vagina for goodness sake, are things you just don’t think about, you don’t realize they are going to happen. That they didn’t have to be so horrible. That I didn’t have to think about it. That it didn’t have to be a traumatic experience, means the world. Because if I didn’t have you guys, it would have been so much worse.
I just can’t say enough good things about you.” – Melissa S.

CHEMOTHERAPY SIDE EFFECTS
One of the most commonly known treatments for breast cancer is chemotherapy. This powerful treatment involves using drugs to kill fast-growing cells, including cancer cells. While it is highly effective in treating breast cancer, chemotherapy can also cause a range of side effects that affect not only the hair and nails but also the skin.
Chemotherapy can lead to dryness and itchiness of the skin, which can be uncomfortable and irritating for patients. This is due to the fact that chemotherapy drugs can decrease the production of natural oils in the skin, leading to dryness. These drugs can also damage the outer layer of the skin, causing redness and itching.
Another common side effect of chemotherapy on the skin is increased sensitivity to sunlight. Patients undergoing this treatment may find that their skin burns more easily and takes longer to heal from sun exposure. This is because chemotherapy can make the skin more vulnerable to UV rays, which can lead to sun damage and increase the risk of skin cancer.
Some patients may experience changes in skin pigmentation during chemotherapy. This can result in darkening or lightening of the skin in certain areas, known as hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation respectively. These changes in skin color are usually temporary and will fade once chemotherapy is completed.
In some cases, patients may also develop a condition called hand-foot syndrome during chemotherapy. This occurs when the hands and feet become red, swollen, or blistered due to damage to the small blood vessels in these areas. This can be painful and may make it difficult for patients to carry out daily tasks.
To manage these side effects on the skin during chemotherapy, use gentle skincare products, avoid direct sunlight, and keep the skin well-moisturized.
