Undergoing treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be overwhelming in many aspects, especially due to the lack of knowledge about how to care for oneself and the effects these treatments have on our daily lives. One of the less explored but equally challenging aspects is the impact these treatments have on the skin.
Natural oncological cosmetics can become an ally to address the specific needs of people undergoing these processes, offering products designed to nourish and care for the skin gently and effectively. At Maminat, we have created Luz oil, a cosmetic formulated to deeply hydrate irradiated skin.
Natural Oncological Cosmetics for extremely dry skin
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are essential procedures in the fight against cancer, but they inevitably have effects on our skin that are rarely discussed.
The skin, as the body's largest organ, often experiences dryness, sensitivity, and in some cases, irritation. Natural oncological cosmetics aim to address these problems without adding more burden to the skin with potentially toxic ingredients.
In contrast to conventional products that often contain harsh ingredients, natural oncological cosmetic products are formulated with gentle and beneficial ingredients for our body. They avoid aggressive compounds that could aggravate skin sensitivity and focus on providing deep hydration, soothing relief, and promoting cell regeneration.
Effects of Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy on the Skin
Before exploring the benefits of Maminat's Luz oil, it is essential to understand how chemotherapy and radiotherapy affect the skin. These treatments, so common in the fight against all types of cancer, can leave the skin dry, irritated, and more susceptible to external aggressions.
Chemotherapy, by attacking cancer cells, also affects healthy cells, including those of the skin. This can make our skin appear drier, with redness and, in some cases, flaking. On the other hand, radiotherapy, by targeting specific tumors, can cause skin irritation in the affected area.
Natural oncological cosmetics: our Luz oil
Our Luz oil was created with a specific goal: to help people with cancer care for skin affected by oncological treatments. Its unique formula is based on carefully selected natural ingredients to provide relief and restore skin vitality.
- Calendula: Known for its anti-inflammatory and healing properties, calendula helps soothe skin irritation and accelerate its healing process.
- Olive Oil: This oil is very beneficial for irradiated skin as it slowly penetrates the skin, providing a protective action and regulating the epidermis's natural hydration system. It is ideal for treating rough or flaky skin.
- Apricot kernel oil: toning, nourishing, hydrating... there are many properties of this unknown oil. In addition, it brings light to dull skin, making it ideal for irradiated skin, as it illuminates it during the process.
Luz oil has countless benefits for our skin's health, regardless of whether you are undergoing chemotherapy treatment or not.
Our oil should be applied after the chemotherapy or radiotherapy session. Additionally, if you want extra hydration, we recommend applying our solid body cream 'A flor de piel' one day before your sessions.
