Sponsored by the American Cancer Society, the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, and the National Cosmetology Association, “Look Good…Feel Better” is a unique program, offered now in Windham, which offers free, one-time beauty consultations with a licensed cosmetologist or aesthetician to women who are currently undergoing cancer treatment.

The beauty professionals provide tips and practical techniques for coping with hair loss and changes in the skin that often result from chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

The American Cancer Society is offering this program to Lakes Region cancer patients. “Look Good…Feel Better” group sessions are held monthly, on the fourth Wednesday of each month, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the North Windham Union Church, located at 723 Roosevelt Trail in Windham.

Participants will receive a complimentary cosmetic kit donated by the cosmetic industry. They will also learn ways to use wigs, scarves, and other accessories to conceal hair loss. Patients who have participated in “Look Good…Feel Better” call the program an emotional lifesaver because it returns them to a sense of normalcy and allows them to smile once again at the person in the mirror.
