Christelle Peuch is a nursing assistant at the Côtes-d’Armor Private Hospital. She is also a socio-esthetician, working once a week in the oncology department. How does it differ from a beautician? “In socio-aesthetic training, it is also a question of psychology and specific issues, in addition to beauty, relaxation or modeling techniques. We will support the person towards better self-esteem,” she summarizes.
“Protect and not just look pretty”
With illness and the side effects of treatments, the body changes. Dry skin, weakened nails, loss of hair and eyebrows, scars… “All these signs create problems that are not trivial,” insists Christelle Peuch.
But which can be reduced by learning to take care of yourself, with makeup and suitable products. “For nails, we will use a varnish with silicone and urea, to protect and moisturize, without toluene and with a sun filter,” she cites as an example.
“In our time, it was a lack”
Danielle, Antoinette and even Jeanine, volunteers from La Ligue contre le cancer, present this Tuesday on an information stand at the HPCA, recognize the merits of this support. “In our time, socio-aesthetics did not exist. We lost a breast and at the same time our femininity, without providing any well-being to an abused body. We had to learn alone to live with our scars, to find harmony within ourselves and with others,” they note.
The League quickly took this lack into account. “We offer, free of charge, a whole range of support workshops (aesthetics, hairdressing, dietetics, sophrology, yoga, etc.) in our spaces, particularly in Trégueux and Plœuc-L’Hermitage, in the urban area,” says namely Michèle Dumont, vice-president of the departmental committee.
