Book
Publishers The Ultimate Guide to Looking and Feeling Great 
While Living with Cancer
Foreword by Janet Carlson-Freed, Health and Beauty Director, Town & Country Magazine
When someone is being treated for cancer, his or her self-image can be shattered. Suddenly, not only are you fighting for your life, a stranger is staring back at you from the mirror. Your hair is gone, your nails are brittle, your complexion is pasty—everything changes. These changes attack your self-image and the very core of your physical and emotional identity.
Many cancer patients continue working, going to school, and caring for their
families while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. Yet the side effects
of these treatments often make patients feel too embarrassed or self-conscious
to function at full potential
Ramy Gafni, one of New York City’s top makeup artists and creator of
the Ramy beauty therapy® cosmetics line, experienced these frustrations
himself while undergoing treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age
31. He utilized his knowledge of makeup techniques to minimize the “pinched”
and sallow look he developed during his treatments. In this beautiful, unique
book, Gafni offers practical solutions for overcoming and managing the major
dermatologic “damage” done by cancer treatment—hair loss,
skin damage, sallow complexion—while undergoing cancer therapy. Here
are some of the tips included in this one-of-a-kind book:
• Step-by-step instructions for applying makeup to camouflage sallow skin
• Safe, do-it-yourself treatments for dry or problem skin
• Recommendations on purchasing, styling, and wearing wigs
• Suggestions for stylish head coverings
• Before and after makeovers with real-life cancer patients currently undergoing treatment
• Sidebar tips from top beauty editors, makeup artists, hair stylists
• Quotes from celebrities about their own cancer experiences
Ramy Gafni’s Beauty Therapy finally offers an answer to cancer patients, who despite their battle with cancer, now have the tool to look their best.
Ramy Gafni’s reputation as a professional makeup artist is apparent in almost every major fashion magazine, including Vogue, Allure, Self and Town & Country. He attended The Sydney College of Makeup Art and The Napoleon Academy of Beauty. His work has also been seen on national television, including on The Oprah Winfrey Show, E! Entertainment’s Fashion File and Entertainment Tonight. He currently works as a makeup artist for Bobbi Brown, and lives in New York City.
