"Looking good helps with confidence, which helps with stress, which helps immunity, which helps treatment," she mind-bod- y says. The CTCA works under the guideline that each phase of cancer treatment is connected to another, Puckett explains, and having a beauty salon on site is certainJy part of that. Some men will visit the salon, she says, but it is typically women. Still, once patients are debriefed on the connection, Puckett says she's never seen anyone who isn't receptive to the idea that improving might ultimately improve health. Paul Moskowitz, chief oncology social worker at Sloan-Ketterin- mind-bod- y m n Center for Cancer Care in New York, says he can see the difference when a patient has either attended a Look Good workshop or some other sort of cosmetic Montefiore-Einstei- counseling. "I can tell when they've been applying lip product or if they've been fitted for a wig. It's not even in their appearance, but they'll be more talkative and you can see a willingness to express more of their feelings, and that's all part of healing."

Lopuchin suggests sticking to peachy shades.

She didn't know exactly what the side effects would be, but she knew that they would drastically change her appearance. VonGerichten participated in a program called Look Good, Feel Better, a national public service program for cancer patients that addresses the physical changes that are likely to come with treatment, such as hair loss, skin discoloration and dryness. And the workshop she attended near her South Florida home was time well spent. "I hadn't thought about by eyebrows or lashes. ... My hair had started to grow back, but I lost them almost overnight. It was a crippling blow to my she says. "But I remembered I had been taught how to deal with this." The key to recreating brows is placement, according to the Look Good campaign. The spot where a pencil, held straight against your nose, hits the brow bone would be the start of the brow. Use the pencil to create a diagonal line from the bottom corner of your nose to the outside corner of your eye. That's the end point. VonGerichten penciled in her brows with eyeliner and no one but her seemed to notice the change, she says. Teresa Lopuchin, a Philadelphia-based makeup artist and volunteer with Look Good since its launch 20 years ago, offers other strategies: I Tiny dots of eyeshadow along the Iashline, preferably applied with a disposable brush or cotton swab, can mimic lashes.
