Dear all, I am looking for ideas on a face and body moisturisers I have always had very dry skin but since chemo it has got much worse, any suggestions of what works best would be so helpful. Sending love and healing hugs to you all xxx
Hi there,
I used Aveeno moisturising cream throughout chemo and found that it was really good although I have never had a problem with dry skin.
I have just started radiotherapy and I am now trying something called Udderly Smooth to see how that is. So far it seems great and goes on very easily being a little lighter than the Aveeno. You can buy it on Amazon.
Good luck with the rest of your treatment xx

I used Epaderm cream during and after chemo. I liked it because you can use it to wash your skin, and then apply again to dry skin, so only needed one item. I had intermittent bouts of incredibly flaky skin, but this seemed to sort it out.
Good luck
