I'll take this opportunity to recommend the Look Good Feel Better program. It is a free seminar for those of us going through cancer. They teach you skin, hair and nail care for during and after chemo. You get to go home with a big box of FREE makeup and it's all really good stuff...Mary Kay, Avon, Clinique...They usually have a sunscreen and a moisturizer in the box along with eye shadows, lipstick everything else you'd need... I highly recommend for everyone to go. I've been a makeup fanatic since I was a teen, and I learned a lot from the program. They'll teach you how to fake eye brows and tie scarves. They have wigs too. I've gone twice - the first time I had bc and then after the relapse.
