Sunscreen isn’t
only for the sand and slopes, it’s for every day* – especially
during chemotherapy, which can cause sun exposure-related skin
reactions. Sunburns often occur on ears, lips, back of neck, and
arms. A spray-on sunscreen makes it easier to reach a thinning
hairline. Moisturizing sunscreens help out if skin is dry. Doctors
warn against tanning during treatment, so if this look is important
to you, ask your doctor if you can use a men’s self-tanning
cream or bronzer instead.
*Sunscreen use should be discussed
with your doctor. Sunscreen and other products should not be
used on radiation treatment
areas. Be sure to consult with your doctor before using any new
skin products during treatment.
