October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to recognize those affected by breast cancer and the importance of support, compassion, and care throughout every stage of the journey.
At Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa, we believe self-care should be part of that journey, too. That’s why we’re proud to offer iS Clinical skincare, a line backed by a dedicated cancer care initiative that recognizes the unique needs of people undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment.
Skincare during cancer treatment often looks very different from your usual routine. Whether you’re currently receiving treatment, beginning to recover, or looking for ways to care for sensitive skin, understanding how your skin’s needs may change is a good place to start.
How Cancer Treatment Can Affect Your Skin
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can take a toll on the skin. Dryness, increased sensitivity, redness, and irritation are common concerns, and products that once worked beautifully may suddenly feel uncomfortable.
During this time, the goal isn’t necessarily to correct imperfections or achieve dramatic results. It’s about keeping the skin comfortable, hydrated, and supported.
That means taking a gentler approach to skincare, choosing products carefully, and knowing when certain treatments should wait until the skin has time to recover.
Is Cancer Care: Skincare With a Purpose
Since 2003, iS Clinical has been helping people affected by cancer through its iS Cancer Care program, which has grown from a philanthropic outreach effort into a global initiative focused on skincare education, resources, and support.
The program recognizes that cancer treatment can create unique skin challenges and that thoughtful skincare can help people feel more comfortable during a difficult time.
Through specialized education and community outreach, iS Cancer Care helps skincare professionals better understand the needs of people undergoing or recovering from cancer therapies.
The program also emphasizes something we believe strongly at Colair: skincare isn’t always about changing how you look. Sometimes, it’s simply about taking care of yourself and feeling a little more like you.
Skincare During Cancer Treatment: What to Know
When skin is especially sensitive, less is often more. Gentle cleansing, hydration, and protecting the skin’s moisture barrier can help reduce the dryness and discomfort associated with cancer treatment.
iS Clinical offers several products designed to address dryness, redness, and sensitivity. Options include Cream Cleanser for gentle cleansing, Hydra-Cool Serum for soothing hydration, and SHEALD Recovery Balm for moisture and skin barrier support.
Of course, every person’s skin and treatment experience is different. Before introducing new skincare products or scheduling professional treatments, check with your oncology care team to make sure they’re right for you.
Skincare After Cancer Treatment: Rediscovering Your Glow
As treatment ends and the skin begins to recover, your skincare needs may change again.
Once treatment-related skin reactions have resolved, your skin has healed, and your oncologist has cleared you for exfoliating services, you may be ready to explore treatments that help refresh your complexion.
At Colair, two of our favorite iS Clinical facial options can help you enjoy a little well-deserved self-care.
iS Clinical Oxygenating Facial
Looking for a refreshing way to give your skin a little extra attention? Colair’s iS Clinical Oxygenating Facial offers a chance to relax, recharge, and enjoy time devoted entirely to yourself.
As with any professional skincare treatment, the right choice depends on your skin’s current condition and tolerance. For clients recovering from cancer treatment, we’ll want to make sure the skin is ready before moving forward.
Fire & Ice Facial: The Red Carpet Facial
Known as the “Red Carpet Facial,” the iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial is a favorite for anyone looking for smoother, more radiant skin.
This treatment combines warming and cooling sensations to help refine skin texture, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the look of blemishes.
Because Fire & Ice involves active resurfacing, it’s best suited for skin that has fully recovered and can comfortably tolerate exfoliation. For clients with a history of cancer treatment, medical clearance and an individualized skin assessment are important before moving forward.
Skincare That Gives Back
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, iS Clinical is also highlighting its Poly-Vitamin Serum as part of a special initiative supporting the National Breast Cancer Coalition.
Formulated with vitamins, antioxidants, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, Poly-Vitamin Serum hydrates the skin while improving skin tone and elasticity.
Throughout October, iS Clinical donates 100% of the profits from Poly-Vitamin Serum to the National Breast Cancer Coalition, support the organization’s work to end breast cancer.
It’s another way that skincare can serve a purpose beyond the treatment room.
Thoughtful Skincare at Every Stage
Whether you’re navigating skin changes during cancer treatment, adjusting your skincare routine during recovery, or simply making time for yourself, the right approach always starts with your individual needs.
At Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa, we’re proud to offer iS Clinical products and treatments that help us provide personalized skincare options for our clients.
This October, enjoy your choice of an iS Clinical Fire & Ice Facial or Oxygenating Facial for only $155 PLUS 10% off all iS clinical products.
