On Your To-Do List: Me-Time!

Op jouw to-dolijst: me-time!
When you’re undergoing cancer treatment, your life is put on pause. A rollercoaster of treatments takes over your days. Yet it’s so important to also carve out moments of me-time. Turn your bathroom into your own personal spa and spoil yourself with a full wellness ritual. Three essentials for your pampering moment…

1. Relax with a hydrating face mask

Because of medication and treatments, your face may look dull or tired. With the soothing and nourishing face mask from C/o Gerd, you can give your dry, fragile skin an instant boost. C/o Gerd is a skincare brand that uses only certified natural ingredients. Power players in this nourishing mask include raspberry seed oil, chamomile and calendula, plus plenty of antioxidants and vitamin C.

Apply the mask on your carefully cleansed face and let it work for about fifteen minutes. Make it a true zen moment by lying down with your eyes closed or, even better, relaxing in a warm bath. Let your thoughts drift away and feel your body unwind. Afterwards, rinse with lukewarm water or gently massage the remaining cream into your face. Your skin will instantly feel smoother, softer and more supple.

2. Treat your hands and feet

Your hands and feet work hard for you and deserve some extra care. With a natural hand and foot cream, you can nourish your skin while creating a lovely moment of self-care.

Instead of quickly rubbing in the cream, take a few mindful moments for yourself. Gently massage your hands and feel the tension melt away. And while your hand cream works its magic (even though it absorbs quickly), give your feet the same loving attention.

Think of it as a small self-care ritual: a moment to slow down, reconnect with yourself and show yourself some kindness. Sometimes, it’s these small moments of gentleness that make the biggest difference.

3. Go for an eye serum with superpowers

Give yourself a little gift. Because yes, you absolutely deserve it! The eye serum from C/o Gerd is one of our personal favorites. A true miracle worker with bilberry seed oil that helps reduce puffiness and dark circles. It refreshes your tired gaze and hydrates the delicate skin around your eyes without stinging or irritation. Use the dropper to apply a single drop on your fingertip, gently massage under both eyes and… done!
