Managing dry and sensitive skin during cancer treatment involves:
- Hydration: Use gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated. Apply immediately after bathing to lock in moisture. - Gentle Cleansing: Use mild, non-irritating cleansers. Avoid hot water, which can strip the skin of natural oils. - Sun Protection: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Wear protective clothing and seek shade whenever possible. - Avoiding Irritants: Stay away from products with alcohol, fragrances, and harsh chemicals.
