https://www.germaine-de-capuccini.com.au/
For most people, a cancer diagnosis is devastating. The 
thought of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and all the 
negative side effects can be overwhelming.  So skin care can 
seem like one of the least important things to think about in 
the early stages of treatment. But an appropriate skin care 
routine can be a vital part of treatment and recovery.
Fortunately, there is a selection of Germaine de Capuccini 
products which met the strict guidelines for use before, during 
and after chemotherapy and radiation therapy, to ensure your 
skin is well protected.
Why proper skin care is important
Using the right products is vital. The same drugs that kill 
off the cancer cells also affect the growth of your skin 
cells. Most people know about the hair loss that comes 
with chemo, but it can also result in dull, greying skin 
that is dry, sensitive, and irritated. Your doctors will likely 
ask you to completely review your usual routine. Dry skin 
isn’t just a cosmetic problem. Skin which is so severely 
dehydrated as a result of harsh cancer treatments can 
become inflamed and more susceptible to infections.
When should I start a new routine?
Rather than waiting to deal with symptoms after treatment starts, 
patients can take steps to minimise skin issues before beginning 
chemo. That way your new routine can continue once your treatment 
begins.
With the right information and self care, there’s a lot you can do to 
keep looking like yourself. That in turn, can help you keep feeling like 
yourself. Confidence and positive thinking play a significant role in 
recovery, and getting your life back to normal
Germaine de Capuccini have a number of products which are gentle, 
hydrating, and hypoallergenic, and can be used to prepare your skin 
to better deal with the potential side effects.
