This is article #2 in my breast cane awareness series.  You can follow this link to check out article #1.
 
Treatments used for cancer can also leave your skin more sensitive to the Sun. That’s why I’m capitalizing the word and why I’m referring to it as the “Friendly Foe”.
 

We all love the Sun, but survivors and especially recovering patients should remember, when you are going outside, use a Sunblock of at least 30 SPF (sun protection factor) is a relative measure of how long a sunscreen will protect you from ultraviolet (UV) B rays or higher.) 
 
This is an important step that can often be overlooked by women of color, who also may have higher statics with cancer.  The rules I’m sharing with you apply in both hot and cooler weather: 
 
·         Plan to give yourself 30 mins prior to going out for the benefit of full protection from the Sun.
 
·         If your lifestyle requires you to be outside for extended periods of time or outdoors in the water, remember to reapply your Sunscreen. To help as a reminder, set a timer on your phone or mobile device so you will know exactly when to reapply.
 
·         For applying Sunscreen with spf , products come in several different forms of application such as oils, lotions, and sprays.  The sprays with 360 degree triggers can be the easiest allowing you spray the front and back of your body from head to toe, all by yourself.
 
An extra tip:  Check out  fresh Aloe in your local grocery store. It can be stored in the fridge and using Aloe at a cooler temperature can bring soothing relief to irritated skin.

Here are some products that work great on the skin during medical treatments and recovery. These products can be used daily.
1. Dove soap (sensitive skin)
2. A&D ointment (body works great on the lips as well)
3. Aquqfor (Body )
4. Neutrogena sensitive skin ( facial moisturizer)
5. Radiacare (Body moisturizer)
6. Biafene ( Body moisturizer )
7. Aloe ( Face and body )
8. Hawaiian Tropic spray sunscreen ( body)
9. Cetaphil Cleanser (Face)

Hi there and thanks for joining CHC on this month-long journey to honor breast cancer survivors and to share the best information I can provide for cancer survivors and patients to keep looking good and feeling confident.
 
Both the breast cancer disease and the lifesaving treatments that come with it, can affect individuals differently. I want to start with a conversation about your skin. 
 
Medical treatments and the lack of a daily routine can cause the skin to become dry as well as sensitive.  It’s important to maintain your daily routine, even when you are not feeling well.  You will conquer this challenge with cancer and when you do, like your health, you’ll want your skin to come out of the fight looking good! 
 
When cleansing your face and body, read the labels carefully. Some of  your longtime favorite products may not be the best for your skin at this time. Select skin cleansers that are formulated for sensitive skin with gentle cleansing agents and it’s best to go with ones that are fragrance free.
 
When removing makeup or cosmetics, use sensitive skin care makeup wipes. Dove® is great for sensitive skin as well as  Cetaphil®  Face and Body.   Unlike cleansers with heavy a fragrance,  that can lead to skin irritation, these two are very mild.

maintain your daily routine
In the shower you’ll want to opt for warm water rather than a hot temperature, because hotter water can lead to dryness of your skin and further irritation.
 
So that’s my advice this time…to try to maintain a daily routine of cleansing and caring for your entire body, even when you are not feeling your best; and use products that are kind to your skin …free of harmful chemicals and fragrances. 
 
Next time, I’ll talk about an element in nature that can play havoc with your skin and ways you can protect yourself as you continue on your journey to wellness.
 
‘Til next time,
