Natural facial care for cancer

During cancer treatment, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are often used. Both forms of treatment aim to destroy the cancer cells, but unfortunately, in the process also destroy the healthy cells in the body.

Radiation often leaves spots on the skin that have been burned, like sunburn. Flakes and blisters may also appear on the skin. Chemotherapy may cause the skin to become dry and dehydrated, and the skin may age more quickly. The skin is also quickly irritated and extra sensitive. So the skin's condition can deteriorate considerably during chemotherapy treatment or radiation.

IK Skin Perfection has three products in its range specially tailored to skin treated with chemo, radiation, or heavy medication. These products can be used before, during, and after treatment to protect and keep the skin firm.

Gentle products without burdensome substances

When choosing the right skin care for cancer, it is very important to choose products that do not contain parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, perfumes and dyes. These substances can weaken the skin, which is already stressed enough during chemo treatment or radiation. In addition, the PH value of the products should be equal to the PH value of the skin (PH 4.6 to 5.2). When products are used that meet these requirements, the skin will be optimally protected and the products can support and soothe the skin.

IK Skin Perfection has developed three products, especially for susceptible skin, skin treated with heavy medication, and irradiated skin: IK Skin Perfection DE-ITCHY+, IK Skin Perfection RECOVER+, and IK Skin Perfection SILK+. These oil, cream, and cleanser contain no harmful substances, are PH skin neutral, and optimally support the skin. With these three products together, you have everything you need for perfect cancer skincare.

IK Skin Perfection SILK+ Proper care begins with proper cleansing. Skin treated with radiation or chemo cannot take much. Many cleansers are then too harsh to use. The skin dries out quickly from these stressful cleansers and deteriorates even further.   SILK+ has taken this into account. Not only does SILK+ cleanse the skin very gently, it also stimulates the production of new cells. In addition, it restores the skin's PH value and gives it an extra energy boost. By using SILK+ the skin looks soothed and soft.   SILK+ contains Allantione, ensuring the skin can retain moisture extra well. With chemotherapy and radiation, this is especially important, as it can cause the skin to dry out considerably. Allantoin also ensures that the skin feels soft and does not look dull. Ecoskin, another ingredient, ensures the skin's natural barrier remains strong. Soothex helps soothe the skin and reduce irritation. So this product is specially designed as a gentle and stimulating skin care for cancer.

IK Skin Perfection RECOVER+ After cleansing the face, RECOVER+ is next. This soothing and restorative cream can be used day and night. It soothes very sensitive skin and restores the skin's softness and comfort.   RECOVER+ contains Irricalmin, an ingredient that soothes the skin and ensures that the skin remains optimally hydrated. It ensures that the skin's oil layer does not disappear. Ectoin also strengthens the skin's barrier, and Vitamin B5 is a topper for forming new skin cells and preventing the skin from drying out.

IK Skin Perfection DE-ITCHY+ DE-ITCHY+ specializes in relieving skin irritations and nourishing the skin and scalp. Skin can often feel tight and dry during chemo or radiation treatment. In addition, losing hair during chemo treatment can cause an itchy and flaky scalp. DE-ITCHY+ can help reduce itching and dryness. In addition, it helps repair the skin. DE-ITCHY+ contains Vaccinium Myrtillus Seed Oil that reduces skin damage. Calendula Officinalis Extract gives the skin a real hydration boost. Prunus Amygdalus Oil contains vitamins A, B1, B6 and E and nourishes the skin. DE-ITCHY+ is the perfect help in relieving skin irritation and dryness.

This trio of products forms the ideal skin care for cancer. They are available together in the IK Skin Perfection Medical Kit.
