Healing Lotions and Balms

One of the side effects I have had is thinning and drying skin from the chemo. Trying to avoid parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde that can increase cancer risks, in my lotions, makeup and shampoo has been a challenge but I have found a few things that have been wonderful and I thought I would pass them on. If you are aware of anything that is wonderful I would be happy to know about it. Here is my list.

Life-Flo Collagen Plus C & E Natural Cream: you can buy it a Good Earth. I have used it on my face and for my surgery scars. It is a little pricey but it has been well worth it.

Raw Shea Chamomile and Argan Oil Baby Healing Lotion: you can buy it a Target with the Frankincense and Myrrh Fragrance or online in other scents. Look for it in the baby lotion isle.

Now Solutions Shea Butter: you can buy it at Good Earth. I have used that for extra protection and I think this works better then aquapher.

Vitamin E: I was first using this on my skin after surgery. I like the collagen cream much better for scars then the vitamin E at least by the time I was using the cream was a few weeks after the vitamin E but mostly I have used it on my nails it has been wonderful for that.

I also have used essential oils Lavender in my bath and Frankincense on my skin.

NatraBio The Rub: It has arnica and it is what I have used for pain. I haven't used any other pain killers since my surgery recovery in order to be nice to my guts.
