How Boots Macmillan Beauty Advisors can help
Whether you need help defining sparse brows and lashes, caring for nails that are suddenly more brittle, or minimising dark circles around the eyes, Boots Macmillan Beauty Advisors can help you feel more like yourself again. They can also show you how to use products to manage skin changes and enhance any facial features.

- help people living with cancer to manage the visible side effects of their treatment
- listen to any worries and concerns about cancer and its treatment
- guide you to sources of information and support, or connect you to local Macmillan services.
