Look Good… Feel Better
Originally established by the Personal Care Products Council Foundation -the charitable wing of the Personal Care Products Council - in 1989, the Look Good… Feel Better program was originally only meant for females as a way to receive makeovers to maintain their appearance while undergoing cancer treatment.
Along with the help of sponsors such as the American Cancer Society, and the National Cosmetology Association, the LGFB program offers classes that offer non-medical and brand-neutral tips on how to offset changes in appearance that occur during the treatment for all kinds of cancer, including mesothelioma.
The two-hour sessions offered by the program provide such as 12-step skincare techniques, demonstrations on how to deal with hair loss, and nail care advice that are led by LGFB-certified cosmetologist. The program serves approximately 50,000 individuals annually, each of whom take home cosmetic kits for their skin type following the sessions.
English-based versions of the program can be found in all 50 states and Washington D.C. while bi-lingual programs are offered in 19 states. Additionally, teen programs for both boys and girls are also available in 16 different cities.
In addition to the sessions, one-on-one advice is also offered, as well as self help-kits and both a toll free hotline and referral line that provides advice to cancer patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
While maintaining a sense of normalcy in one’s life following a mesothelioma or
asbestos cancer diagnosis, making a decision as to whether or not to pursue legal action against a former employer who may be responsible for prolonged exposure to
asbestos is also an important decision that must be made. Contacting a
mesothelioma lawyer may be the best way to learn about
asbestos laws and determine whether a
mesothelioma lawsuit is an action worth pursuing.
