Your cancer treatments are finally over, and it is important to continue to take good care of yourself in the weeks and months ahead.
Although the most difficult period of your cancer treatment is behind you, it is key to continue with the good skincare routine you have embraced during treatment.
Your skin will need extra love and care during this time, as you may still have some sensitivity, dryness or irritation. There are several areas where that require extra precautions, such as sun exposure.
Dry, tight, itchy and uncomfortable are all words that people with sensitive skin use to describe how it feels. But did you know that a face serum is one of the most effective ways of managing sensitive skin thanks to its ability to deliver moisturising ingredients to the deeper layers of the dermis? This strengthens the skin barrier, and helps the skin retain water more effectively while becoming more resilient to irritants.
But as there are many different types of serum to choose from, how do you know which one is right for your skin type and concerns? Ahead, we reveal the best La Roche-Posay serums for sensitive skin, the benefits to expect, and how to introduce one into your routine.

There’s lots to think about when choosing a sunscreen for your child. If they’re a baby, you’ll need a gentle formula that’s suitable for their very sensitive skin, while older children may need a formula that’s also sand and water resistant. It’ll also need to be in a high SPF and offer broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
Then there’s the texture. If you’ve ever tried to apply sunscreen to a wriggly toddler or resistant child, you’ll know that thick, greasy lotions can be a total nightmare, while fast-absorbing mists and sprays can make life so much easier. Moreover, the formula also needs to be suitable for sensitive skin, especially if your child is prone to eczema or allergies.
Feels like a lot to ask? Yes, but at La Roche-Posay we understand the demands a sunscreen needs to answer. That’s why we have dedicated dermatologist-recommended formulas for babies and children with minimal ingredients in a variety of textures.
Read on to find out the importance of finding the right sunscreen for your little one and how La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios range can help.
