Which cream should I use during cancer treatment?

One of the most common questions when skin begins to change during a treatment is:

What cream can I use?

There is no single product suitable for everyone, because every treatment and every skin type is different.

However, there are some characteristics that can help you choose.

Look for simple formulas

When the skin is sensitized, an endless list of active ingredients does not necessarily mean a better product.

In many cases, it is preferable to choose a simple and well-tolerated formula.

Better fragrance-free

Fragrances can be bothersome for certain sensitive or reactive skin types.

In addition, during some treatments, sensitivity to certain smells may also change.

That is why fragrance-free formulas are an especially interesting option.

Avoid irritating alcohols

Not all alcohols used in cosmetics are the same, but heavily perfumed products or those with alcohol can cause a greater feeling of dryness on some skin types.

Look for nourishing textures

When there is intense dryness, rich textures can provide a greater feeling of comfort.

Balms made with oils, butters, and waxes can be especially pleasant for dry skin.

Interesting ingredients

Within a cosmetic formula for dry and sensitive skin, we can find ingredients such as:

• Shea butter.
• Jojoba oil.
• Calendula.
• Vitamin E.
• Bisabolol.
• Vegetable oils.

What is important is not just an isolated ingredient, but the formulation as a whole.

And what about irradiated skin?

There is an important exception here.

If you are receiving radiotherapy, always consult with your medical team before applying any product to the irradiated area.

Recommendations may vary depending on the treatment and the hospital center.

The Ecosmetyc philosophy

Ecosmetyc opts for an anhydrous, nourishing, and fragrance-free formula developed with the needs of sensitive and fragile skin in mind.

A simple routine for times when the skin asks for fewer stimuli and more care.
