Cancer is the third cause of death in Mexico and according to estimates of the International Union Against Cancer, every year there are more than 128 thousand cases in the country; However, this disease not only damages the organism, but also the self-esteem.

Hair loss, on body and face, and pallor are the first visible results of cancer treatments; However, how do these affect appearance? And is there a solution to it? According to an article published in the The New York Times It is possible that yes.

"Look Good Feel Better" is a program through which it is sought that women living with cancer recover not only their appearance but the pleasure of looking in the mirror.

For Susan Gubar It has been a new way of feeling better: "I am not the kind of person who normally enrolls in this type of two-hour workshop. Although I have always admired cosmetically creative women.

With Look Good I've made peace with my face by just trying to look presentable. A haircut, maybe a little blush or eyeliner can make a big difference.

After the diagnosis, it seemed sensible to give up makeup and jewelry, it was a way of accepting my new condition. Since with the loss of weight as a result of operations and chemotherapy, precious rings could fall and be lost.

Although what I could not accept at all was the loss of eyebrows. Maybe these seem trivial to you. However, you feel a void when you see your face without them. So I made the call and I was encouraged to go. "

With instructors, trained in sensitivity and tact, this program aims to allow the patient to regain the self-esteem that cancer has taken away. Through teaching how to use, in an orderly manner, aesthetic elements such as cleaning cloths, moisturizer, concealer, foundation, powder, rouge, eyebrow pencil, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, lip liner and lipstick women can recover themselves.

"Beyond looking like a cancer patient, it would resemble a corpse that had been subject to a makeover by a funeral cosmetologist. I was a woman again when I saw him waiting for my reflection. "

Remember, the power to change is in your hands!
