Look Good Feel Better is a non-medical, brand-neutral public service program that teaches beauty techniques to cancer patients to help them manage the appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment.
Look Good Feel Better’s FREE group programs are open to all women with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, or other forms of treatment. Our beloved 32-year-old program has served over one million people in the US with our in-person workshops and more than 2 million globally. We have served millions more with other valuable online resources and video tutorials as well.
We launched our Look Good Feel Better Live! Virtual Workshops in 2018.
Look Good Feel Better Live! Virtual Workshops provide valuable information and connection for women undergoing cancer treatment. This online experience offers live instruction and tips during one-hour, online workshops.
