Organic Skin Care & Cosmetics Choices

Excerpt from Chapter 4: "What About Your Skin Care Bag?"
"You may want to search out products that do not have chemicals, preservatives and harsh ingredients. Although you already have your favorite products, be aware you may have to modify these products to address some particular conditions that may arise during treatment. Your skin may have an increased sensitivity to the sun depending on what treatment you are doing. Additionally, most women experience increased dryness during treatment. A few will experience an increase in oiliness. You may also develop inflammation and/or hypersensitivity to products you have used for years. Be extra gentle with your skin. Harsh movements, rubbing and pulling will be more taxing on your skin than normal. Each of you will have to search out what is best for you." Your Cancer Journey Bible

Products I Recommend

• Juice Beauty (skin care)

First off, I LOVE the name! It is fun, fresh and tells me something about their products. Every product has a base of organic fruit juices and thorough, solid research behind the ingredients included in each product. Using powerful antioxidant technology their product ingredients include red raspberries, white grapes, green apples, lemon, mango, raw cane sugar, honey, coconut oil and much more. None of their products use pesticides, parabens, petroleum propylene, glycol derivatives or harsh surfactants. Priced reasonably, they offer a complete line of products to choose from that are great for your skin and gentle on the enviroment .

• Mychelle Dermaceuticals (skin care)

This is another Colorado based company. It carries both great skin care products and cosmetics. I love this line because each product is formulated to work synergistically with the others. The term dermaceutical is included in the company’s name because each product is backed by scientific technology. Although the line is a bit pricey, it is worth every penny you will spend. Products such as NO-TOX Anti-Wrinkle Serum and Supreme Poly Peptide Cream work wonders on dry skin or mature skin. Be sure to check all their choices out at www.mychelleusa.com
