Chronic illness and oncology friendly products can be a minefield to wade through when you are feeling unwell and don’t know where to start. We know that when we are run down, other organs of the body suffer; this includes our skin, which is our largest organ of the body. Normally the skin is the last place to receive nutrients that we take up in our diet, so when we are chronically ill, taking long-term medication, or undergoing medical therapies, such as cancer treatment, our skin really starts to suffer. It can become dry, flaky, dehydrated, hypersensitive, irritated, and often you will notice that there are only a certain few products that you are able to topically apply without getting an unpleasant reaction.
Here at The Skin Care Clinic, we stock some great ranges of Cosmeceutical skin care products that will work to rebuild your skin, gently and effectively. Osmosis MD is a great brand that we stock that has a large range of products that have been deemed Oncology friendly; this includes skin care and make up! These products have been tried and tested and are endorsed by Oncology Spa Solutions and Oncology Training International. This means that they are a safe and effective option that can work to heal and nurture a compromised skin after treatment.
