I know there had been much debate about skinn product and what they contain etc, but can anyone tell me when we can use other products apart from the simple stuff? I so miss my bubbly bath nights and although I have never gone is for high scented stuff before this I always used Dove or Olay soap and bath stuff.
I also love the ‘Boots’ fruity type soaps.
My friends are going to be at a loss what to buy at Christmas cos I always wanted smellies!!
Have finished my Rads so can I move on?
Advise girls please.
I would have thought that because you have finished your rads (how long ago?) , then you could move on.
I still have this joy to come - surgery on 10th Dec then rads after that - its the lack of deoderant I am worrrying about - not that I think I am a smelly kind of person but like the security of putting it on!!
did you still spray perfume on your clothes or anything?
I too was very worried about not being able to use deodorant because it’ to me its such a part of getting dressed! I
It was quite surprising once I started the treatment that I didn’t miss it at all. I started using it again once the redness had faded and after 30 odd radiotherapy sessions, I looked like a red indian!
I sprayed perfume on my wrists and into the air around me
Hi Girls
Fiona
Yes I still sprayed perfume on the outside of my clothes but not on my skin and I finished my Rads 10 days ago…
Denio, know the feeling about red indian, I only had 18 any mine is till glowing a little but is calming down now. I only use the stick deodorant under one arm and my OH has told me that I don’t pong at all, cos I was worried about this because of the night sweats.
Thanks for your comments
Hi, I finished my rads in March but still have a redness on my left breast from time to time so I’m still using Simple products. TBH, I don’t actually mind and I don’t think I will go back to using perfumed stuff. The unperfumed stuff is a blank canvas for perfume etc, no conflicting smells.
Also, if you live near a Poundland shop you can buy Simple products for £1 - the bubble bath is £2.69 in Boots!
I have found that the aluminium free roll on deoderants are really good, mine is Urterkam deo-crystal, it cost about£3. we have a health/organic shop nearby & they have all sorts of lovely lotions, shampoos etc free of chemical nasties- - ladies be aware that ‘Simple’ does contain a lot of chemicals, theyn are not as simlpe as you imagine from the name. Try to go for something that is paraben-free.Neals Yard stuff is lovely tho quite expensive… but christmas is coming!
Back to deoderant, I have found roll on the best cos my armpit is still completely numb from surgery on3 Nov so I can’t feel where it is going… with a roll on you can put it on your fingers than rub it where it needs to be!!
