PS I realise make up is at the more ‘frivolous’ end of wellness but it makes us feel so good and I miss it. And such a minefield of information out there with very mixed views on what’s safe / not safe
Amazing thank you! I got really excited about Jones Road cream products but they scored a big red on Yuka. I was also thinking that loads of women will go through menopause whilst on chemo or shortly after so we have a few things to contend with - 1) waiting for eyelashes / eyebrows to grow back. 2) Potentially spotty chemo skin and then 3) changed skin needs from menopause. I’m sure I can’t be the only one who is excited at the prospect of a post chemo make-up bag overhaul. At the moment I’m opting out of all make up whilst on chemo but I don’t enjoy looking in the mirror. The idea of some non-toxic post treatment shopping fills me with hope! I miss mascara so much!
Hi Rosamund. Just wanted to say I would LOVE to read a column on “safe” make up. Your skin always looks so good. Would love to learn more about what make up brands you trust. Whilst on chemo I’m trying to avoid make up all together as my skin is dreadful but looking forward to a day when hair grows back and I can enjoy make up again! But now most of my existing make up bag scores poorly on yuka. So where to start? Would be amazing if make up could be the subject of one of your future newsletters! Please 🙏 pretty please (dreadful pun ;-)
I love your newsletters and find them a great antidote to some of the other wellness things I read. I’d really love to get your well researched take on “safe” beauty. Everything is such a minefield. EG after radiotherapy you have to be extra careful in the sun. They recommend fake tan instead of a real one but then fake tan has all sorts of questionable ingredients. What make up brands have the least toxins etc?
What a brilliant intro - headed back up to read some more of your brilliant take on wellness. ✨💫
“As I always say: it’s only good for you if you enjoy it!”
Well said! This is going to be my new motto! 👏👏👏
Also, why wouldn’t you still have a soft spot for Super Noodles, they’re awesome! 🙌
