Dealing With Pale Chemo Skin? Give Your Face a Boost With These Three Essentials!

Ook een bleek chemohuidje? Geef je gelaat een boost met deze drie toppers!
Struggling with a pale, dull complexion during chemotherapy? Completely normal. You spend less time outdoors, fatigue takes its toll, and your skin often becomes drier and more lacklustre due to medication. These three products give your skin an instant, healthy glow. Combine them or simply use whichever fits best into your beauty routine.

1. A Nourishing, Lightweight BB Cream

We’re not fans of heavy foundation layers. Thick, full-coverage makeup looks unnatural and can feel suffocating on sensitive chemo skin. What we do swear by? The lightweight BB cream from Même, France’s number one skincare brand for people going through cancer treatment.

Thanks to the pump system, you can easily control how much you apply. Smooth a thin layer over your face — after your day cream or directly on your skin, whichever you prefer. And you can choose your perfect shade, as this BB cream comes in multiple tints.

Made with 97% natural ingredients, it won’t dry out your skin. Instead, it nourishes and softens it. The result? Small imperfections and red patches fade instantly. Your complexion brightens and gains a beautiful, natural glow.

2. Bronzing Powder: A Touch of Sunlight

Looking for a quick pick-me-up or a healthy glow with minimal effort? This 100% natural bronzing powder is a winner. Apply it with a large, round brush and trace the shape of the number 3: from your temples, over your cheekbones, down to your chin. To keep the effect natural, blend it softly into your neck and décolleté.

The result looks beautifully natural — like you’ve just come back from a breezy day at the seaside. The powder doesn’t dry out your skin and suits all complexions thanks to its universal shade and subtle shimmer.

3. A Serum With Superpowers

A facial serum gives dull chemo skin an extra boost. The superfruit serum from the British organic skincare brand Odylique is deeply nourishing and packed with antioxidants. Discover the pure power of 100% natural and organic ingredients like avocado, pomegranate, rosehip, and sea buckthorn.

Apply a few drops on top of your day cream to seal in hydration and enhance its effect. Gently massage the serum into your skin. And voilà… enjoy the instant radiance this superfruit serum gives your face! It’s the perfect daily pick-me-up — or ideal whenever you feel your skin needs a little extra love.
