Cosmetic and Personal Care Choices: What to Avoid and Why
As cancer rates rise, it’s crucial to pay closer attention to the cosmetic and personal care products we choose. Our understanding of skin health has advanced significantly, and it’s important to debunk the myth that certain substances can penetrate the skin more deeply than we once believed. This enhanced absorption of chemicals can have long-term detrimental effects on our immune and hormonal systems, as well as our skin.
For those already undergoing cancer treatment, the side effects of traditional therapies can significantly impact daily life. Fortunately, many of these effects can be minimized or even eliminated by adjusting daily routines and fostering an anti-cancer mindset.
Navigating the world of personal care products can be daunting, especially with the many controversial ingredients in circulation. However, thanks to leading research from Nelly De Vuyst, we can guide you on your journey to wellness with effective, trustworthy formulas.
We are delighted to provide dermatologically tested products that do not contain the following harmful ingredients:
- Parabens

Embracing a holistic approach is also vital for achieving wellness. An anti-cancer lifestyle includes:
- A diet rich in antioxidants, featuring at least 10 servings of colorful fruits and vegetables daily.
- Reducing or eliminating exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS) or free radicals that contribute to premature aging.
- Dedicating time each day for self-care and relaxation.
- Prioritizing sleep hygiene, aiming for 8 hours of restful sleep while minimizing exposure to devices that emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
- Spending time outdoors and engaging in physical activities you enjoy.
Understanding the connection between mind and body is essential for preventing and treating certain types of cancer. By reducing your exposure to carcinogens and actively supporting your immune system, you can make this year your healthiest yet with a focus on wellness!
