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 also deserve extra care during cancer treatment. Our absolute must-haves: the hand mask and foot mask from Même. Perfect if your usual hand or foot cream no longer seems enough, or simply if you feel like spoiling yourself a little more.

You can easily combine the hand masks and foot masks with your face mask and turn it into a complete at-home wellness experience. Open the gloves and socks, rub them to distribute the cream evenly, then slip your clean hands and feet inside. Close the adhesive strips around your wrists and ankles and leave them on for half an hour. No rinsing needed afterwards – just massage in the leftover serum.

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!
