When undergoing or recovering from chemotherapy or radiation, it is important to use specially formulated creams and lotions to protect and heal the skin, and Lindi cancer skin care products are some of the best. Created by scientists, doctors, cancer patients and cancer survivors, this line is designed to keep you in optimum health and feeling good about yourself, even during a difficult time.
Using Lindi Cancer Skin Care Products
While medical advancements have made it possible to survive a number of cancers that would have been an immediate death sentence not many years ago, the process of treatment is very harsh and invasive. Obviously, survival is the most important factor and everything else can be dealt with after that has been assured, but there is no good reason to suffer too many side effects during treatment if you don’t have to.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause a number of side effects to the skin, predominantly an excess of dryness and sensitivity. This can be so severe that a patient will experience reactions to skin products that had always been beneficial. Lindi cancer skin care products are designed to treat side effects and also to maintain overall skin health during treatment. They are heavily hydrating and targeted, so that they protect vulnerable areas of the skin while also promoting healing.
Specific Skin Ailments and Treatments
Many patients undergoing chemotherapy will develop Hand Foot Syndrome, meaning that their hands and feet will eventually crack and peel to the point where daily tasks become unmanageable. The Lindi Soothing Balm is specially formulated to hydrate and prevent skin from further dryness. Many patients also use the Lindi Lip Balm on dry nails and cuticles to prevent cracking, which can lead to more serious problems.
A variety of rashes can also result from chemo and can look like acne, but they are not acne and it is dangerous to treat them as such. Instead, the emphasis must again be on proper, balanced hydration. The Lindi Face Wash and Face Serum are soothing treatments for this uncomfortable condition. When the discomfort is severe, there is also the Skin Cooler Pad and the Skin Cooler Roll, which are made with aloe, to cool the skin down and bring immediate relief while also moisturizing.
Oncologists may have little patience for patient vanity during cancer treatment, but this is unreasonable. Just because you’re dealing with cancer doesn’t mean you have to look sick. One of the better Lindi cancer skin care products in this regard – a real boon to men and women who would rather not wear their illness on their faces – is the Lindi Face Tint. If a person has a low white cell count, it may result in skin discoloration or grayness. Most foundations, even comparatively non-toxic ones such as mineral makeup, cannot be used during this time, because of the risk of reaction to some ingredients. The Lindi Face Tint, however, acts as a moisturizer, protector and light tint, so that your skin will appear to have a healthy glow.
Lindi’s Ingredients
Ingredients that are as organic as possible are key to assisting compromised skin. Typical cosmetic or even healing ingredients for dryness and itchiness, such as mineral oil, cortisone or steroids, are not used in Lindi products. Instead, they rely upon botanicals for anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories, antiseptics, antibacterials and skin nutrition. You should still review the ingredients carefully, as one of them may be an allergen for you, but you can overall feel confident that you are not introducing anything problematic to your largest organ during this unpleasant juncture.
