Here’s How We Care for You at SkintifiX.

You’ve probably been told you can’t have salon treatments while undergoing cancer treatment.

Maybe you’ve been warned it’s unsafe. That your skin is “too fragile.” That it’s best just to ride it out and wait. That “your skin is the last thing you should worry about”. 

At SkintifiX, we want you to know: you can be cared for. And you deserve to be.

Whether you’re preparing for treatment, going through it, in recovery or remission, your skin is still yours, and we’re here to support it (and you) every step of the way.

What Cancer Treatment Does To The Skin

Cancer doesn’t just affect what’s happening on the inside; it also shows up on the outside. Chemotherapy, radiation, medications, stress, and the body’s natural response to trauma can all impact the skin in ways that are often overlooked.

You might experience:

• Dryness and sensitivity
• Redness, rashes, or even radiation burns
• Increased reactivity
• Discolouration or uneven tone
• Nail brittleness and changes
• Flakiness, tightness, or a general feeling of discomfort

Even the most basic skincare routines can suddenly feel overwhelming, and often, the emotional impact of these visible changes can be just as heavy as the physical ones.

Here’s The Good News: There’s A Way To Support Your Skin Safely

Robyn has studied under Morag Currin, the founder and president of Oncology Training International (OTI). Morag was the first to bring oncology aesthetics training to the beauty industry, driven by a clear mission: to dispel the myth that therapists cannot safely support people undergoing cancer treatment or living with other health challenges.

Oncology Aesthetics isn’t just about performing facials. It’s about considering the whole person — not just their skin, but their identity, sense of self, and the need to feel comfortable in their body again. It’s about understanding what’s happening to your body and adapting everything: pressure, ingredients, technique, even room temperature to nurture your skin in a way that supports healing, not stress.

That’s what we bring into the SkintifiX treatment room every time, with every client.

Always Customised, Always Considered

At SkintifiX, no two facials are ever the same, and this couldn’t be more important when supporting someone going through cancer treatment.

We begin every appointment with a thorough consultation. We’ll discuss your diagnosis, treatment plan, current skin condition, and how you’re feeling. Then, we work with what’s real for you at that moment.

We may adapt:

• Pressure and touch (especially if lymph nodes or medical devices are present)
• Ingredients used (everything is carefully selected and free from irritants)
• Treatment timing and duration
• Supportive rituals like LED light therapy, calming massage, or deeply hydrating masks

You’re not a template, and neither is your treatment.

Supporting Your Skin at Home (Without Overwhelming It)

When your skin is in a compromised state, less is truly more. But that doesn’t mean doing nothing — it means doing the right things.

We focus on ingredients that:

• Strengthen the skin barrier (think ceramides, phospholipids, essential fatty acids)
• Calm and soothe inflammation (like CM-Glucan, green tea extract, and boswellia)
• Repair and protect (like panthenol, zinc, or kiwi seed oil nanoparticles)

Our trusted skincare range, Dermaviduals, allows us to custom-blend products based on your skin’s ever-changing needs. So, rather than guessing what might work, we create exactly what will.

No actives your skin doesn’t need. No unnecessary fluff. Just pure, physiological skincare that works with your skin.

This Is About More Than Skin. It’s About Being Seen

Cancer treatment can make you feel like your body isn’t your own. We’re here to give a little of that power back. A quiet space to reconnect. A treatment that doesn’t feel clinical. Touch that feels comforting, not invasive.

And a therapist who sees you, not just your diagnosis.

If you or someone you love is navigating cancer treatment and isn’t sure where to turn when it comes to skin, we’d love to be that place of support.

It starts with a consult, a cuppa, and a kind conversation. We’ll walk beside you – no pressure, no overwhelm, just personalised care at your pace.
