17 Beauty Products Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2022
Stock up on your favourites while giving back.
October officially marks Breast Cancer Awareness month so join us in supporting this more than deserving initiative with the best limited edition hair, make-up and skincare products, all donating money through sales to help raise vital funds for breast cancer charities to continue their hard work in ongoing research and providing care for breast cancer patients and survivors.
Around 56,000 new cases of breast cancer are being reported annually according to Breast Cancer UK, so while October is dedicated towards raising funds and awareness, it's important to remember that the fight against this disease is an ongoing effort 24/7. Make sure to check your breasts for lumps and irregularities at least once a month (it takes less than 10 minutes!), experts all agree that early detection is still the most effective way towards successful treatment.
Breast cancer organisations are always in need of support, so you can do your bit by giving back directly to the charities too. In the UK, Breast Cancer Now helps with research funding, Breast Cancer Haven supports women going through treatment, Flat Friends provides care for women who have undergone mastectomy without reconstructive surgery while Coppafeel! works hard to raise awareness and education surrounding the disease. There's also the Pink Ribbon Foundation. They fund projects and offer grants to smaller charities working to support those affected by breast cancer as well as advancing the treatment of it.
The products featured have all pledged to do their part in the fight against breast cancer. From iconic creams to the multitasking cream pot that gives back all year round, these must-haves promise to have you looking good while doing good. Getting ahead of Christmas shopping? These picks make for excellent gifts and stocking stuffers too.
