How lipstick is helping women face cancer with confidence
For people facing cancer, the psychological impacts can be as challenging as the physical treatment. Here’s how you can help brighten up their lives.
You can always count on a touch of lipstick to improve your mood and boost your confidence.
In fact, an Australian study found 85 per cent of participants reported feeling “very confident” when wearing lipstick.
So it seems the simple act of applying lipstick before you walk out the front door can help you feel ready to tackle whatever the day throws at you.
But we all know that some days can be harder than others, especially when it comes to our health – and particularly if you are dealing with a serious issue like cancer.
Introducing Look Good Feel Better
Look Good Feel Better is a free, national support service that helps Australians face cancer with confidence by offering workshops, and resources to help patients manage the physical, psychological and social impacts of cancer treatment.
The workshops aim to help those going through treatment feel more confident in their skin, by teaching skills such as how to apply skincare and make-up, as well as providing helpful tips on wigs and headwear.
The program provides support, practical skills and knowledge to help manage some of the side effects of cancer treatment, at a time when many patients are feeling vulnerable.
The charity relies on the support of 800 trained professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to help deliver the program across Australia. It has supported more than 170,000 cancer patients since 1990.
How you can support the cause
To mark International Lipstick Day on July 29, Revlon will donate proceeds from the sales of its Super Lustrous Lipstick range at Chemist Warehouse to Look Good Feel Better.
Revlon has supported Look Good Feel Better for more than 30 years by donating products for the Confidence Kits handed to cancer patients, as well as financial contributions to help the program remain free-of-charge across Australia.
