Surgery Day

How I prepared the morning of surgery to remove my 
Melanoma Cancer on my face…

A few things that helped me for the 4-6 hour surgery day.

-Started day with Warm lemon water 
-Prayers, Devotion and journaling. (This helps start your day off right and with strength and peace)🙏🏻
- My Doctor suggested having high protein (I made A high protein Smootie with High antioxidants & Vic C for healing

- Washed hair & styled as I wasn’t sure when I would get to take a shower & wash hair,due to Stitches & bandages on face.

- Essentials, ear buds to listen to a podcast or audio book, my lap top in case I wanted to watch a movie, ice water, a protein bar, lip gloss, a charger and a hair tie❤️

- Comfortable Clothing 

If you want more details on my Melanoma Journey 💪🏻I have two LIVES🎥 in feed SHARING the details the day before, on what to look for, what the difference is between skin cancer and melanoma, what mine looked like and  What procedure the surgeon is doing , as what we did prior to prep, and answering questions-labeled Part one in feed and I am wearing a denim top.
&
-The day after surgery- sharing how it went, results, how I felt, a peek at how far the stitches went, what care is, and next steps as well as answering a ton of questions I received in DMs.  That one you’ll see the bandage on my face😉

I am being very real and authentic with you in sharing this journey, to help spread awareness on the importance of having your skin checked by a dermatologist.🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

Linking the items I am wearing and using that I can in this vlog

Not your regular eye pads.
Great facial and eye care after surgery or just a bad nights sleep!

These Tula moisturizing & cooling eye gel pads are a perfect way to de puff your eyes and minimize fine lines, while also healing.

I have been using on my scare under my eye from my melanoma cancer surgery.

It helps de-puff and soothes 

Highly recommend

-Clean beauty-

In My melanoma cancer journey
Ive found that what women put on our bodies Dailey is cancer causing & hormone disrupters… with Sunscreens being a huge product full of cancer causing ingredients:

With that said:
I’ve been switching over almost ALL  my beauty products to clean beauty!
I’ve been putting a lot of time and research into finding products I like and truly hit all the criteria to be truly CLEAN
Most are also Vegan/ serval also organic as well as cruelty free and more

Here are several products I’ve been loving and really work⬇️

-Dime tinted 50 sunscreen 
Wonder screen

-Boom blush - boomstickrose nude

-Beekman milkshake toner mist

-Thrive:
-Mascara liquid lash extensions in black
-Brow gel lamination
-Lip crayon matte  in color-Jo
-Matte lip tint in color-chenoa

You asked why?
Why an Ice roller?

After Melanoma cancer surgery recovery..

A large incision/scar center stage on my face….

Care for the BEST healing results is very important to me, for the best outcome.

I did a lot or pre surgery and post surgery prep and care.

One of the items I have been living is the Ice roller…
Perfect for a regular skin care regime, to helped puff, help shrink pots and so much more.

But, for a scar… the ice roller helps massage … massaging your scar is very important to help break up the scar tissue underneath. 
The cool roller feels realer good and it helps for you to apply a lot of pressure without hurting.
I’ve been using everyday, sometimes a couple times a day to do this process.

A must have tool, that is affordable and easy to use. Great to apply a skin face mask, to push the product into you skin..etc (great gift too) 
Under $15
