“F*ck Cancer!” with Jess Armstrong
Listen now
Description
Our skin is the largest organ of the human body and what we apply to it is absorbed by that organ (our skin) and in-turn absorbed into our blood stream and internal organs.Somewhere along the line, marketing genius became the majority focus of our attention, and we have gotten distracted by what is the ‘in’ product, what looks cool, what’s chic and what smells nice, over what is actually good for our skin and in-turn us. Jess Armstrong came to this realisation through her own confronting and deeply personal journey.Jess was in the throes of early motherhood with two young children when she found out she had breast cancer. Through this incredibly distressing time, Jess had to undergo chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a mastectomy. But cancer didn’t keep her down, Jess was driven to understand what was happening to her and her body and learn about that products that she had used for most of her teen and adult life. Through investing her focus in learning about this, Jess discovered that a lot of the beauty and skin care industry has gotten carried away with what looks and smells good over focusing on what is actually safe for good skin health and our overarching health, in turn the confronting realisation that majority product ranges were made up of ingredients that are actually toxic for us, especially those that are immuno compromised and in treatment. Now knowing all she has learned, Jess took this as a challenge to not only provide the market with a safe product range, but also a product range that still gives women the feminine feels of nurturing ourselves with something special and founded FUCA Skincare range.
