Chemotherapy Skin Care

Chemotherapy can affect your skin's natural moisture by reducing the amount of oil your glands secrete. Many commercial skin care products contain perfumes and other chemicals which can worsen already dry skin. Skin Free ™ skin care products are 100% natural and perfume-free. Using a product like our Super Moisture Body Balm ™ is an important component to chemotherapy skin care.

In addition to moisturizing, there are several other things you should do to care for your skin while undergoing chemotherapy.

• Drink plenty of fluids - Dehydration is a common contributor to dry skin.
• Avoid extreme weather - Extreme weather, such as severe cold and high heat can aggravate dry skin.
• Use the right soap - Most commercially available soaps are actually detergents and remove skin oils. Using a product like our Extra Moisturizing Soap & Shampoo Bar ™ will help to keep your skin moist and protected.
• Take care when drying your skin after bathing - Towel drying your skin can irritate dry skin. Allow your skin to dry naturally or pat dry. Do not use a blow dryer to dry your skin.
• Wash your clothes in mild detergents - Choose perfume-free detergents. Perfumes can irritate skin.
