Radiotherapy | Deluxe Skin Care Box

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water - 150ml (this has replaced the Meme Care Mist that is pictured in the main Care Box image) 

La-Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water is a versatile spray for intense soothing and comforting of skin that is damaged, weakened, irritated or sensitive from radiotherapy treatment.

 

MooGoo Natural Milk Wash - 500ml

Skin can become sensitive and sore when undergoing radiotherapy treatment and many people prefer to use gentle, unscented products, suitable for sensitive skin. MooGoo natural milk wash combines small amounts of five different natural cleaners as this can be gentler on skin than one concentrated cleanser. MooGoo chose natural cleansers that wash well without drying out the skin. MooGoo also uses a mix of natural skin conditioning ingredients. No essential oils that can also trigger reactions are added, but instead, a blend of vanilla with the allergy-triggering compounds removed. Because it’s so gentle it’s also a no-tears formulation in children's eyes. Suitable for all ages, body part and skin types.

 

Oatsoak Colloidal Oatmeal 

Another common side effect of radiotherapy treatment is sore skin. Colloidal oatmeal has been used for centuries as a treatment for itchy, dry or irritated skin and has been clinically proven as beneficial for radiotherapy skincare. This colloidal oatmeal can be added to warm bath water as a relaxing natural soak which will soothe dry and inflamed skin from radiotherapy treatment. Providing deep moisturisation, it is a natural skin cleanser and also helps to create a protective layer. Single serving.

 

Lindi Skincare Body Lotion (240ml)

Lindi Skincare body lotion has been clinically proven to decrease skin issues associated with cancer treatment. Thanks to its unique formula, Lindi Skincare body lotion can be used to help manage the dry, flaky skin and itch that can result from radiotherapy treatment. This gentle, refreshing lotion can be used all over our body and its fast-absorbing formula is intended for maximum comfort.

 

Travel Water Bottle 

Skin issues are a common side effect of radiotherapy treatment and so it’s really important that your loved one keeps their skin as healthy as possible before and during treatment. Skin contains 30% water and there is clinical evidence to show that staying hydrated from the inside could be as effective as applying a topical moisturiser to your skin. These Travel Water Bottles are crafted from two layers of stainless steel with vacuum insulation technology, to keep drinks cold for 24 hours or hot for 12 hours and are a great way to help your loved stay hydrated. Random colour allocation.

 

Flawsome Sparkling Fruit Drink (250ml)

In order to encourage your loved one to use their new travel water bottle, and keep their skin healthy and hydrated, we’ve included a can of delicious strawberry and apple, lightly sparkling, juice drink. Made with sun-kissed strawberries, crisp apples and sparkling water, this drink is naturally sweet with no added sugars or artificial sweeteners. Flawsome drinks are made in the UK using surplus and wonky fruit sourced from farms across Europe.

 

MooGoo Natural Fresh Cream Sensitive Deodorant 

Many people going through cancer treatment prefer to use natural products and this MooGoo natural sensitive deodorant is an aluminium-free, fragrance free, natural, roll-on deodorant. The unique, slightly alkaline formula, works by allowing perspiration (which is odourless) but preventing odour causing bacteria from growing. No bacteria = no smell.

 

Please note we always recommend patients speak to their radiotherapy team for approval of any new skincare products prior to use.

For centuries, colloidal oatmeal has been used to treat a range of skin problems, including dry skin, itchiness, rashes, and eczema (atopic dermatitis).

 

Colloidal oatmeal is finely ground oats (Avena sativa) mixed into lotions, creams or bathwater. It's an emollient, which means it softens and soothes the skin.

 

This 2016 study was the first to recognise colloidal oatmeal as a skincare approach in the radiotherapy setting.  The sudy recognises the potential benefits of colloidal oatmeal in treating radiotherapy induced skin reactions.
