How to Choose Skin and Hair Care That Supports Your Health Journey

How to Choose Skin and Hair Care That Supports Your Health Journey

Navigating a health journey—whether due to cancer treatment, histamine intolerance, autoimmune conditions, or other medical challenges—requires heightened attention to self-care, especially for your skin and hair. During these times, your body’s protective barriers are more delicate, and choosing the right products can make a significant difference in how you feel and heal.

The Body’s Changing Needs During Recovery

When your health is under stress, your skin and hair may show visible signs of the strain. Treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or even chronic inflammation can leave skin feeling dry, itchy, and irritated, while hair may become brittle or fall out. In such times, the wrong skincare and haircare products—laden with harsh chemicals—can worsen these effects, leading to more irritation, increased inflammation, and even hormonal imbalances.

To support your recovery, you need products that work in harmony with your body, soothing and nourishing without introducing harmful toxins.

What to Look for

When choosing products for your skin and hair during a health journey, prioritize the following:

Free from Harsh Chemicals. Avoid ingredients like:

  • Parabens: Linked to hormone disruption.
  • Phthalates: Often found in synthetic fragrances, these can harm the endocrine system.
  • Petrochemicals: Known to irritate sensitive skin and contribute to long-term health risks.
  • Phenoxyethanol: A common preservative that can cause skin irritation.
  • Sulfates: Strips natural oils, leaving skin and hair overly dry.
  • Synthetic Fragrances: A common source of allergies and irritation.

Packed with Natural Ingredients. Look for ingredients that hydrate, heal, and protect, like:

  • Aloe Vera: Calms inflammation and deeply hydrates.
  • Shea Butter: Restores moisture and strengthens the skin barrier.
  • Rosemary Oil: improves blood flow to hair follicles and soothes the scalp.
  • Jojoba Oil: Balances skin oils and provides lasting hydration.
  • Gentle and Hypoallergenic: Choose products specifically designed for sensitive skin and hair, free from irritants and allergens.

Want to ensure the products you're using are truly clean? Use trusted tools like the Environmental Working Group (EWG) Skin Deep Database to verify the safety of ingredients in your skincare and haircare products.
