Weleda Revitalising Hair Tonic
This product was recommended to me once my hair started growing back following chemotherapy. My hair is now so thick that I look like Elvis!
Used for centuries to stimulate the circulation, rosemary helps restore the health of the scalp, while stonecrop and horseradish extracts work together to discourage microbial development and reduce inflammation.

Skin Food – Light
During chemo and radiotherapy you need to moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! This is great and smells divine. The light Skin Food is easier to spread onto sore skin.
Skin Food is a universal saviour of dry, rough skin on faces, elbows, hands and feet – wherever you take a lot out of your skin, let Skin Food put it back in. Weleda has the first internationally recognised quality seal for organic and natural beauty products.

Fussy Deodorant
I use this now. It works and smells nice but it’s not overpowering. It’s natural, free from aluminium and parabens, and 100% vegan. I wanted to use something safer and more environmentally friendly.
PRO-PLANET. Plastic-free, compostable refills keep Mother Nature happy.

Talika’s Lipocils for Lashes
I used this religiously before I even started chemotherapy. My hair fell out after two weeks but my eyelashes stayed (about 1/4 of them) until my hair started growing back, then I lost all my eyelashes and eyebrows in that week and within another 3 weeks they had all grown back thicker and better than before to their normal length (shame the hair on your head takes longer). I don’t know if it was down to this but at least it gave me a sense of being in control.
Originally formulated over 70 years ago, Talika’s Lipocils formula has been a bestseller since. Using the natural power of the mythical botanical complex, an infusion of witch hazel, apple, nettle, horse chestnut, and St. John’s wort, the formula encourages the enhancement and strengthening of natural lashes, lengthening the life cycle and making lashes more voluminous, fuller, and more bold. After only 28 days of use both day and night, lashes are visibly more beautiful and amplified.
