The Importance of Cancer Survivors Avoiding Toxins in Personal Care Products

Confidence After Cancer

In this episode, I’m talking about something that’s close to my heart: the importance of avoiding toxins in our personal care products.

Think about it—between morning showers, skincare routines, and all those everyday products, we could be layering on dozens, even hundreds, of chemicals without a second thought. I’m here to unpack what that exposure means for our health, share some common culprits hiding in these products, and offer a few practical tips to help you make safer choices without turning your life upside down.

We’ll chat about which ingredients to look out for and how to find alternatives that protect rather than harm. For me, it’s not just about “clean beauty,” but about taking back control and actively supporting our well-being, especially if you’ve been through a health challenge. I’ve even got a handy guide on the top toxins to avoid to help you get started.
