Cancer support charity Look Good Feel Better has announced the launch of new Virtual Workshops to help alleviate some negativity during Covid-19, whilst giving back a degree of control and raising confidence levels.

The new workshops include:

• Hair and styling focused workshops  - With many requests for guidance on haircare, wigs and scarf styling to help patients through the often traumatic experience of losing their hair during treatment, new sessions tackling all haircare and headwear concerns in collaboration with ‘The Hair Loss Coach’ Jasmin Gupta, founder of charity Cancer Hair Care, are in trial now and will launch later this month. Similarly, cancer treatment can frequently alter body image and many patients expressed an interest in styling sessions to boost confidence. These are currently being planned and will launch later this summer.
• Skincare and Makeup - Online group video sessions for 8-10 people, hosted by trained experts, help people combat the visible side effects of their cancer treatment, such as the loss of brows and lashes and skin changes. Each separate session provides a safe, welcoming and fun environment to learn skincare and make up skills. Most importantly, they also provide an opportunity to chat, ask questions, share experiences and feel supported and connected at this very challenging time.
• Skin Fitness Workshops for men - In May, Look Good Feel Better introduced new Virtual Workshops for Men, in association with leading professional wet shave expert Mark Sproston, aka The Shave Doctor. The workshops focus on practical, down-to-earth skincare, shaving and grooming advice, bringing it directly into the homes of men undergoing any form of cancer treatment.

Regular workshops for up to eight participants are available by signing up at lookgoodfeelbetter.co.uk.
