In particular, inthe face of adversity, the desire to look good still remains.Nowhere is this more apt than for women coping with thevisible side-effects of cancer treatments.In essence, this is the thinking behind theLook Good…Feel Better Programme, one of the servicesin the UK helping to support women with cancer.It offers free make-up workshops through a network ofover 50 hospitals and cancer support centres nationwide.The charity, first introduced in 1994 by the Cosmetic, Toiletryand Perfumery Association, is supported by many differentcompanies and brands in the Beauty Industry, who donate funds,products and the expertise of their staff.After the shock of being diagnosed with cancer, many womenare then devastated by the distressing side-effects of theirtreatment, some of which can dramatically change theirappearance and body image - loss of hair, eyebrows andeyelashes can be particularly difficult to cope with.Look Good…Feel Better helps these women in avery practical and positive way.Trained beauty professionals volunteer their time and expertiseto help women combat the visible side-effects of treatment.The two hour workshops are informative and livelybut most of all, fun - making this particular visitto hospital something to look forward to.Registered Charity No.1031728 Registered in England 2850925LGFB 8p DLO V09/09.indd 2-5 21/09/2009 11:28
