Let’s talk about skin….
There’s no way to sugar coat it….your skin takes a massive hit when you go through cancer treatment. You’re being poisoned on the inside and there’s nothing much left to nourish your skin. I didn’t want to put yet more chemicals on my skin yet what to use?
In this episode skin scientist, Alexandra Soveral talks us through the proliferation and rise in acute skin conditions and why to really get the best from our skin we need to view it as another pillar of our health. As she says, our skin is a reflection of what is going on inside us - which is why our diet, mind, perspective on life and exercise are all so important for healthy skin.
Be gentle on yourself if you are going through treatment for cancer she says and recommends using gentle oils and moisturisers as well as a technique she wishes we were all taught at school! Have a listen to find out more.
This is a fascinating chat for anyone looking to simplify their skin routine and move towards a natural approach.
