Washington D.C (PRWEB) October 19, 2015
Kim Becker, founder of Hello Gorgeous! of Hope Inc. a non-profit that provides complimentary makeovers and education for women battling cancer and author of "I Promise to Put My Lipstick on When I Get There,” is offering women who are going through cancer treatments three tips to help them navigate their changing appearance with grace and dignity. Becker said, “Dealing with the appearance transitions is difficult enough without inadequate knowledge about how to take care of yourself properly.”
These three tips can help women through some of the difficult adjustments: 1). Keep facial tissues handy. The chemotherapy drugs that are used to kill your cancer can also kill the fast growing cells in your body. This is why hair loss may occur as well as the loss of your eyebrows and your eyelashes. What you may not know is that you can also lose your nose hairs. This may seem insignificant but these hairs keep the moisture in your nose. In the absence of these hairs the moisture leaves your nose causing a nasal drip. Keeping facial tissues on hand can help combat that drip.
2) Avoid using your fingers to dispense your products. Let's say your moisturizer is in a jar and you stick your finger in the jar to retrieve the product. Any bacteria or germs that were on your finger are now in your jar. If you do this day in and day out that's a lot of bacteria. Using a small makeup spatula to dispense your product from the jar will cut down on the amount of germs and bacteria in your product. Use a new spatula each time you use your product.
3) How to prepare for the return of your hair. Even though you're hair is gone you shouldn't neglect your scalp. I would recommend washing your scalp with professional salon shampoo. The shampoo will remove any impurities and dead skin cells that may accumulate on your scalp and would inhibit the growth of new hair. You can also moisturize your scalp with the same product you use to moisturize your face.
