If there is something to take care of during the entire treatment and for a long time after, is the skin, it becomes thin and brittle just like nails.
The first thing is to have very careful with no hurt or burn yourself, since the defenses are very low and can cause infections, así que ¡Eye! if you do a manicure , when cooking or ironing… ¡Beware of sharp objects!
They advised me to use a moisturizing cream with olive oil after showering., I have used Nivea's, but there are many on the market. In summer, I have used foot cream, to prevent them from drying out.
Every day you have to protect yourself of the sun (both in summer and winter), so I recommend La Roche-Posay protection cream for the body 50 (or another with a high protection factor) For the face I have found one that is moisturizing and at the same time has protection 50, it's from Biotherm, so you don't have to use two creams every morning.
Regarding the nails, they crack and sometimes even fall off with the latest chemo, so it is best to always wear them short and use dark enamels that cover the most deteriorated areas. It is also good to use nail protector and hand cream. It is better not to use long-lasting treatments such as gel nails or permanent paints., until they are stronger (two to three months after the last chemo).
During radiation therapy, you also have to take special care, but there they do advise you on care, creams and gels you should use.
And remember… ¡now is the time to dedicate time and take care of yourself!

This is NOT a sponsored post, the author – a.k. to my mother – She has seen it necessary to say the brand of the products since they are the ones she has used and wants to recommend and I let her do whatever she wants because she is my mother, And I found you on the street".
I was looking for some information on this topic, because I am currently treating a tumor with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. My surprise was not pleasant to find this article.
Was there no other title for this article?
It's one thing to write about "how to be beautiful in summer", and quite another «how to be beautiful with… Cancer". Also using ellipsis, to give more credibility? mystery? !!Well what a surprise!!
The title lacks sensitivity, rigor and denotes a certain neglect.
Thanks for the info. Natural products are sure to be much better and not those derived from petroleum. I'll keep it in mind.
Hola a todos, I am Patricia Escobar, Dirª.Gral. by Atelier Aube, I have to admit that I just discovered well the essence of this Blog. And I was very pleasantly surprised.
It's great to want to see the world with more LIGHT and that, It's true, that despite having shadows is always achieved by putting on a Yellow Glasses!.
And I know that nothing is accidental and precisely today you speak of Purely Natural Cosmetics and without petroleum derivatives, fully agree, the skin is our largest organ and we must take great care of what we wear.
Por otro lado, you talk about difficult moments and how to learn and overcome obstacles based on LOVE. Again, I could not agree more!!!

Thanks Boy with the Yellow Glasses!!! Enchanted and a Strong Hug
totally agree with lucia: be careful with products that use chemical filters because apart from having to react with the skin they need preservatives – parabens- that can also irritate, hers are »bio» products with certificates like the »ecocert» I use them and you can tell the difference.
A little comment ecocert only guarantees a minimum of natural purity which is fine, but it does not guarantee the 100% purity. Fortunately, today we have the possibility of using cosmetic products of extraordinary purity and quality. , But be careful not to forget that it is a certificate that is paid.
I think it's great that we take care of ourselves in that process, although from my experience it is preferable to use products that are not derived from oil or contain chemicals or at least try to avoid it,and you have every reason to take care of her that for that she gave birth to you apart from giving you all the love possible
