Looking good makes you feel good and vice versa! Check out some of these awesome products. All are giving back during October, National Cancer Awareness Month.

Britain’s Philip Kingsley No Scent No Colour was inspired by Philip’s wife Joan’s own experience with cancer treatments. He developed this shampoo for sensitive, delicate, or easily irritated scalps, so it suits women who are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. $1 from every 250 ml bottle and 50¢ from every 75 ml bottle go to Look Good…Feel Better, a charity that helps boost the self-confidence and self-esteem of women being treated for cancer. $20 and $8 at philipkingsley.com.
