EmbRace Radiance with Oncology Facials and Skincare:
A Guide for Cancer Patients and Cancer Survivors
What is an Oncology Facial?
Cancer treatments can be tough on your skin, leaving it dry, sensitive, and in need of some serious TLC. An oncology facial is a specialized skincare treatment designed to address these unique challenges. It’s not just about pampering—it’s about restoring and maintaining healthy skin during and after cancer treatments.
Here are some questions you might have prior to receiving an oncology facial and skincare treatments, like:
- Can a cancer patient going through chemotherapy get a facial? (YES, with doctor’s approval)
- What are the best face products for someone going through chemo? (SKIN DIVA LABS, non toxic, fragrance-free, oncology safe, power-packed vegan skincare)
- Are there side effects to an oncology facial? (NO, not if the right products are used without toxins, fragrances or acids and it is performed by an oncology aesthetician)
- What are the real benefits of an oncology facial? (While relaxation is key, the healing and wellness allows our aestheticians to relax your mind, body, and spirit.)
- Can you exfoliate during chemo? (The only exfoliation that will not harm the skin is with fruit enzymes. Anything harsher will damage the skin barrier.)
- Are Oncology aestheticians trained to work with cancer patients? (The aestheticians at Bella Reina Spa are trained in oncology facials and how to care for patients going through chemotherapy and cancer survivors)

Why Choose Oncology Facials During Your Cancer Treatment?
What is Oncology Facial Care?
- Oncology facial care is the practice of providing safe facial and body treatments to clients who are undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. The side effects of chemotherapy and cancer on the skin can make the skin super sensitive and very dry and dehydrated.
-
Having a spa and facial treatment can provide relief for the sensitive skin and hydrate the face especially. Oncology facials includes choosing the right skin care and ingredients that will not interfere with any medications or treatments. Additionally, the aestheticians need to be trained and certified in Oncology Esthetics to understand the various types of cancer treatment and skin side effects
Who Offers Oncology Esthetics and Facial Care?
Facials are a great way to maintain healthy, hydrated skin, reduce stress levels, and provide oncology patients with a source of healing energy. But you need an aesthetician (Bella Reina Spa) that has experience with those treatments, the unique therapies for sensitive skin and oncology safe products, like Skin Diva Labs are a must.
Why Facials during chemo are a game-changer
Cancer therapies like chemotherapy and radiation can wreak havoc on your skin. Here’s why an oncology facial can be a game-changer:
- Hydration Boost: These facials focus on replenishing moisture to combat dryness and sensitivity.
- Gentle Care: Using products free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and exfoliants ensures your skin is treated with the utmost care.
- Stress Relief: The soothing treatments can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation—a much-needed respite during tough times.
TIPS
Practical Tips for Your Oncology Skincare Routine
Before starting any new skincare regimen, get the green light from your doctor. Safety first! All cancer patients currently undergoing chemotherapy or radiation must consult their oncologist and receive a written approval prior to your facial. All approvals should be emailed to info@bellareinaspa.com.
Products with synthetic fragrances can irritate sensitive skin. Opt for non-toxic fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers, like those from Skin Diva Labs, to keep your skin calm and happy.
Keep your skin well-moisturized with gentle, hydrating products. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
Cancer treatments can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, wear protective clothing, and seek shade when outdoors.
Use mild, non-stripping emulsifier cleanser, like the Dewy Herbal Cleanser from Skin Diva, to maintain your skin’s natural barrier. Avoid hot water and harsh scrubbing.
