SKINCARE GUIDELINES FOR COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED SKIN ISSUES FOR THOSE UNDERGOING CANCER THERAPY
BACKGROUND
Dr Brittani Barford, Resident Medic
My name is Brittani Barford and I am a medical doctor, wife, and mother of two with a wealth of clinical experience having worked with a melting pot of patients from all over Southern Africa as well as England at various stages of life from infancy to adulthood and have loved every second of what each encounter has taught me.
I have a passion for, amongst other things, improving equitable access to women's wellness which is what led me directly to Naturally Tiwa Skincare.
Theirs is a brand rooted in the delivery of the best of what nature has to offer anyone from any walk of life in need of skincare products that address any concern. The brand also boasts strong female leads who prove that it is possible to create a world that is better, economies that are more robust and a people who are stronger by improving access to sources of information on the issues that people feel they lack support on.
Solution
In order to appropriately tackle skin issues that arise from a diagnosis of cancer and the accompanying cancer treatments, natural therapies that target specific issues and pose no further threat of exacerbation need to be best considered.
Naturally Tiwa Skincare is a proudly British skincare brand rooted in tackling skincare issues with the heart of what they deliver being the promise that all products are formulated with traditional ingredients paying homage to ancestral remedies that have stood the test of time.
Naturally Tiwa Skincare products are often dual-purpose hence products can be used for face, body and hair to address multiple affected areas.
