Look Good…Feel Better is a two-hour, hands-on group workshop, conducted by volunteer cosmetologists and includes a 12-step skin care and makeup program as well as a demonstration on how to use wigs, turbans, scarves and hats to help a woman cope with the side effects of cancer treatment and help restore her sense of inner and outer beauty.Patients must be undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment to participate in LGFB.  A self-help video is available for women in rural areas or for those who cannot attend a live group session.This program is a partnership between the American Cancer Society, the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association Foundation and the National Cosmetology Association.  The American Cancer Society often has new wigs available free of charge for cancer survivor who request them.
