Fantasia Salon / Spa and Wig Specialists

Probably the last thing someone going through chemotherapy and other cancer treatment thinks about is the dry skin and other skin problems that will accompany the treatment. However, once someone has gone through these treatments, it becomes a top priority.

How does one rejuvenate the skin after going through cancer treatment? Although there is a wealth of dry skin solutions on the market, the vast majority of the products can actually cause further damage because most contain chemicals and fragrances which cause dryness. In addition to this, the chemicals can be absorbed into the body which is not a good thing.

Also, the majority of the lotions on the market clog the pores. Because the skin is a major avenue used by the body to eliminate toxins, if the pores are blocked, toxins stay underneath the surface of the skin and cause dryness, rashes and other problems. Cancer experts recommend using skin care products which don’t clog the pores.

A good solution to the problem is Lindi Skin Care products. Lindi Skin has been formulated to meet the special needs of cancer patients. The ingredients are natural botanicals, anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories, antiseptics, antibacterials and supply good nutrition to the skin. Lindi Skin products do not contain preservatives typically found in most skin products.

The Lindi Skin line has been created in conjunction with patients, cancer survivors, doctors and other medically trained professionals using the latest scientific and medical data to create the state-of-the-art skin care products.

These products were specifically created for those dealing with the effects of cancer treatments so you can rest assured they will give your skin what it needs.

Over the years, Fantasia has carried many different skin care lines.  You are probably aware that when it comes to skin care, you need to find a brand and use all of the products in the line rather than mixing and matching with other skin care products from different manufacturers.  Each of the manufacturers create their products to work synergistically and,  if you are mixing lines, you are going to get less than optimal results.  If a product line is costly and you can’t afford everything,  just start with the basics, cleanser, toner and moisturizer and add in other products from the same manufacturer as soon as you are able.

In addition to the Lindi Skin, Fantasia sells SkinCeuticals. This line of products has been around since 1997 and is absolutely one of the best we have found.  SkinCeuticals delivers innovative dermatology products that improve the overall health and appearance of the skin.  They use pure, pharmaceutical grade ingredients with proven scientific results.  The formulations are based on optimal concentrations of active ingredients elegantly crafted into functional products.  These products are designed, formulated and tested for effectiveness.  SkinCeuticals works as a complete system for maximum improvement to skin health.

For this reason, SkinCeuticals has earned a strong reputation with the medical community worldwide.  SkinCeuticals provides complete skincare solutions through dermatatologist, plastic surgeons, medi-spas and other skincare professionals in the United States and 35 countries worldwide.   They promote skin health, not trends.

A SkinCeuticals research team helped pioneered the industry of cosmeceuticals with the original topical vitamin C technology that protects skin from signs of premature aging caused by environmental damage.

Because many of our clientele are Baby Boomers or are dealing with medical issues, we like SkinCeuticals because of the ant-aging factors and the topical vitamins which are good for damaged skin.  However, let us stress that you are never too young to begin a good skin care regimen.  The SkinCeuticals line is extensive and Fantasia carries all of the products.  If you have never tried these products and are searching for a good, moderately priced skin care line, this may be just the product for you.  Our Esthetician would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

While most people are aware that hair loss is a common side effect of chemotherapy for cancer treatments, they may not be aware of the side effects to the skin. This is why Lindi Skin was created. Because Fantasia has worked with many people over the years undergoing chemotherapy treatments, we were thrilled to learn of Lindi Skin and have been carrying it in our salon almost since it first became available.

Lindi Skin care products are made from very unique formulations of special ingredients. The LSA Complex is one of Lindi’s most important features. When setting out to create a skin care for those on cancer treatments, they were determined to create something which would offer the comfort, soothing and healing needed. Lindi wanted to have something that did more than the creams already in the marketplace. The company owners met with doctors, nurses and patients. They set criteria as to what their products needed to provide to the customers.

LSA Complex embodies those criteria. Some of the properties of LSA include:

• anti-inflammatory
• anti-microbial
• wound healing
• soothing
• antioxidant

Special botanicals like curcumin, white tea, willow herb, chamomile and especially astraxanthin, were carefully selected to promote the properties listed above and are part of the Lindi Skin’s LSA Complex.

Whether you are affected by intensely dry skin, burns or rashes, Lindi Skin’s products have the botanical and antioxidant benefits to help heal your skin. Healthy skin starts with vital hydration. The unique properties of Lindi Skin provide you with a soothing, protective veil of moisture for lasting hydration. Your skin will be properly moisturized to promote healthy skin that looks beautiful and feels great!

Even if you have the most sensitive skin, Lindi Skin products are safe to use. These products are exceptionally gentle and non-irritating. The products are dermatologist-tested, hypo-allergenic, paraben-free and are not tested on animals.

If you or anyone you know has compromised skin, Fantasia is please to offer a skin care line that is luxurious, effective and safe for everyone, even those with the most difficult skin conditions. The Esthetician at Fantasia would be happy to talk with you about Lindi Skin products.
