Look Good…Feel Better is a free program that teaches female cancer patients how to cope with the appearance related side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Volunteer cosmetologists lead the program that includes a 12-step skin care and makeup program as well as demonstrations on hair/wig techniques to help restore a positive self-image.

Each participant receives a free gift kit of full size name-brand cosmetics for use during and after the workshop.

The kits are donated by the Personal Care Products Council Foundation. The American Cancer Society and McDuffie Regional Medical Center have partnered together to offer this class.
