Well kind of. La Roche-Posay's "velvet water" has been recognized for its anti-inflammatory, healing and soothing properties.
HAIR LOSS IS ACTUALLY A SIGN THAT YOUR
CANCER TREATMENT IS WORKING.
CANCER TREATMENT IS WORKING.
TRUE
One of the most dreaded side effects, hair loss is also a sign that the treatment is working: by introducing a toxic product in the blood, chemotherapy destroys rapidly-multiplying cells, such as cancer cells, but also some healthy cells such as those in hair follicles. This is why hair and body hair are often the first affected.
CANCER TREATMENT WON'T
CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR NAILS.
CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR NAILS.
FALSE
Your nails may look different after chemotherapy and targeted therapy: they are more fragile and may become dry and brittle, discolored or spots may appear at the surface. This effect may be compounded by daily chemical or physical aggression.

DRY FASTER DURING CANCER TREATMENT.
DRY FASTER DURING CANCER TREATMENT.
TRUE
Your hands, feet, and lips require special attention and care. As they have few sebaceous glands, they have fewer protective oils. This means that they tend to dry out faster, especially when they are faced with multiple environmental aggressions or a heavy cancer protocole. The skin may thicken, crack, and feel sore. You need to nourish and protect them with a cream like Cicaplast Baume B5.
SUN IS GOOD FOR YOU IF YOU'RE
UNDERGOING A CANCER TREATMENT.
UNDERGOING A CANCER TREATMENT.
FALSE
Some cancer treatments cause the skin to be more sensitive to sunlight. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation puts you at risk for very intense sunburns, so it is generally advised to avoid any sun exposure. You should be even more careful if you are undergoing radiation therapy, as chronic radiodermatitis may occur, in some cases even several years after your treatment.
