Cancer and Skincare - Using Salmon DNA Australia Skincare After Chemotherapy

Cancer and Skincare - From Cancer to Confidence

Hey there! It’s Sam, and today I want to share with you my recent Cancer and Skincare journey. From chemotherapy, gaining weight, losing weight, aging skin, and starting my own business. Grab a cup of coffee (or maybe a glass of wine).

Me living my best life at 44!

The Rollercoaster Begins

Picture this: I’m 44, ready to conquer the world, when BAM! Cancer comes crashing into my life like an uninvited guest at a party. I went from planning vacations and brunches with friends to navigating the wild world of chemotherapy, surgeries, and radulation. And let me tell you, chemotherapy doesn’t just mess with your health—it also comes for your skin! One moment, I was 44 and the next, I felt like I had aged a decade overnight. Thanks, cancer!

Then came the mastectomy surgery, which left me wondering if I had accidentally swapped lives with my grandmother! Plus, I had put on ten kilos during chemotherapy.

Next Stop, Welcome to Chemical Menopause

Just when I thought I had seen it all, I suddenly found myself in chemical menopause. Overnight! Hot Sweats like you cannot believe! It’s like someone flipped a switch my skin now resembled a dry desert landscape. I was officially in the “what is happening to my body?!” club. It was a challenging time, but I knew I had to find a way to reclaim my skin and, honestly, my sanity. Cancer and Skincare

Discovering Salmon DNA - Cancer and Skincare

Yes, you read that right—Salmon DNA! It’s packed with skin-loving goodness. If you weren’t aware it has been around since 2010 in Korean Skincare. I had been on the DIY beauty wagon since 2020, it was the year I discovered Salmon DNA, and let me tell you, it felt like finding the fountain of youth! I was super happy to have found something that was more natural and that I could do myself (please consult with a professional, I am not a professional dermatologist). Now after cancer I'm straight back at it. So, what do I personally love about Salmon DNA?!

I love that it helped my under eyes!
I love that it is regenerative and keeps working!
I love that it doesn't freeze my face!
I love that it has plumped up my skin

Launching Salmon DNA Australia

With my new found passion for skin care back I also took a leap of faith and launched my own business: Salmon DNA Australia! My goal? To empower people to take control of their skincare routines without breaking the bank. After all, I hadn’t worked in over a year, and I was determined to make this work. Plus, who wouldn’t want to share something that made their skin glow like they’re a contestant in a Miss Universe pageant?

For me, it’s not just about selling a product; it’s about sharing my journey and helping others feel confident in their skin—even when life throws a curveball. Please remember I am not a professional I am just a person who loves to have healthy, glowing skin.

My last treatment (Mesotherapy blebs - like tiny mosquito bites that go down the next day) post cancer and my hair is finally growing back!
