Wardrobe & Styling

Color

Many women find that their skin tone changes during treatment. It may become ashy, extremely pale, turn yellow, or become quite ruddy. Colors you may have worn before (i.e., black or white) may not complement your skin tone now.

As a rule, jewel tones are universally flattering. They contrast enough with all skin tones to create visual balance, and they color-correct changes in skin tone from treatment. Try colors such as emerald green, amethyst purple, ruby red, sapphire blue, turquoise, or teal blue. Wear these jewel tones near your face for greatest impact (i.e., shirt, sweater, blouse, scarf, head covering).

Fabric

Many women find their skin is very sensitive during treatment. Look for softer fabrics that don’t irritate your skin in clothing and accessories such as:

  • Natural fabrics like silk, cotton, and cashmere, which allow the skin to breathe
  • New micro-fleece fabrics, which are easy to wash and extremely comfortable
  • Avoid wool, mohair, etc., which can irritate the skin. You can always add a thin layer, like a soft T-shirt or camisole if you are concerned that the fabric might be irritating.
