-How to feel beautiful during chemotherapy-
Many people, both cancer patients and their families, worry and even are frightened of the changes in appearance that come with chemotherapy. Children in particular are very sensitive to the changes their mothers experience. I believe makeup is an essential tool to continue feeling like your true self and stay active socially and professionally after the diagnosis.
Chemotherapy can cause a hair loss from the head, eyelash and eyebrow, dark spots, dull skin, and problems with nails, triggering psychological distress. But, you can also see it this way: it gives you a chance to brush up on your eyebrow and eye makeup skills, try the latest makeup looks, and revisit your skincare routine. You probably would not sport a wig, if it were not for the disease.
Do you realize? You are a fighter trying to beat cancer, and that makes you more beautiful than anyone.
One out of every three people in Japan develop cancer. For cancer survivors to continue living their lives and stay active in society, we need proactive involvement from establishments like this center to help them look and feel beautiful.
The Life Quality Makeup consultations are available at retailers of Perfect Cover and the Shiseido Life Quality Beauty Center.
