We are with you every step of the way! Let's do this!
What does oncology friendly beauty mean?
Skin that is undergoing treatment can become sensitive and compromised. Osmosis offers an array of oncology friendly products from makeup to skincare that provides a different kind of "treatment" to the skin, empowering nourishment and protection as the body goes through these medical processes. Enhance beauty and confidence in a safe and healthy way throughout this journey.
It is important while going through treatments to know the best way to take care of the skin so that it is provided with nourishment, not additional change (i.e. staying away from products that promote anti-aging, lightening, etc.).
What to focus on:
1. Clean. The skin will have low immunity during some of this time and can be prone to sensitivity and infection. Use a gentle cleanser twice a day to thoroughly remove makeup and debris while maintaining the health of the skin’s barrier. Do not use exfoliating products that can damage skin putting it at risk for infections.
2. Moisturize. Combat dryness with a safe and natural moisturizer that will fortify the skin and replenish moisture that is lost during therapy.
3. Protect. Provide the skin with additional defenses against harmful UVA/UVB rays, as it may be hypersensitive to the sun during this process so a safe and effective SPF should be worn daily.
