“First chemo this morning,
With a smile because I put a drop of lemon essential oil in my mask just before the infusion. The beautiful, pleasant smell helped me overcome this stressful moment.
Last night, I diffused Cold and Flu Solution to relax. I really like the smell. And I can smell the purified air. I felt soothed and had a good night's sleep.
Thank you to Maison Jacynthe. I feel supported in this ordeal by doing myself good. - Stéphanie, January 13, 2022
“Hello addicts,
A short testimony after 3 months of chemotherapy.
I must say that Maison Jacynthe products help me greatly and accompany me in my daily life.
Collagen, my beauty routine, and the warm vanilla shea butter mask help keep my skin supple, nourished, and hydrated. My nails have stayed strong.
For the body, I use products with calendula (baby oil and muslin) which are very gentle and caring, as well as passion fruit oil which relieves pain.
For dry lips, I adopted the Coco balm which nourishes enormously.
My nose used to bleed easily and Nasya solved the problem. I love this ritual so much that I will continue it; it is part of my routine.
The scar balm is one of my favorites because it helped loosen the adhesions from my breast cancer surgery. So I really enjoyed it when the doctor asked me to massage my scars. Plus, this product smells divine.
My favorite room sprays at the moment are the Purifier and Christmas Tree. And for the evening, diffusing them with the Joy synergy does me the world of good.
When I have my infusion, I put a drop of peppermint in my mask and the relaxing, escape-inducing effect is there. It's a real gift that saves me a lot of anxiety.
"Of course, the medical team is fantastic, but Maison Jacynthe brings so much kindness. I don't know what this journey would be like without all of that." - Stéphanie, April 10, 2022
“Hello addicts,
I'm barely a third of the way through my radiotherapy sessions and I'm pampering myself like never before. As usual, I'm indulging in Maison Jacynthe products to stay on track and positive.
I massage my nails well in the evening before bed with cuticle oil because they were sensitized during the chemotherapy sessions and even if it is over, they could get damaged and fall off, the side effects being still there. Collagen also helps me a lot.
For the muscle pain I still have, Guggul oil is wonderful. I massage it into my body every morning and evening and I feel a little lighter. The smell is very pleasant.
The best news is that I have a lot of hair. For the past 3 weeks, I've been taking the silica and hair cocktail alternately every other day, and it's amazing how quickly it's grown. I can wash it again with the gentle baby shampoo; it's soft and silky.
All medical appointments are a little nerve-wracking. To relax, I diffuse essential oils in the evening and during the day, especially citrus oils. In the evening before bed, I put a drop of petitgrain essential oil in apricot kernel oil on my solar plexus and I fall asleep like a baby.
In the morning before showering, I spray a little Protecteur room fragrance in my bathroom and dry brush. The spices in this fragrance help me relax.
Thank you Maison Jacynthe for all these wonderful products. » - Stéphanie, June 27, 2022
" Good morning,
Today is the last day of radiotherapy. My hair has grown well with the use of the Hair Cocktail and Silica alternately. I pamper it with the Doux Bébé shampoo and conditioner from the same range, which I apply after shampooing to fully benefit from the softness of the Calendula. The conditioner contains Moringa oil, which is exceptional for beautiful hair.

Before shampooing, I massage my scalp with 1 drop of Ylang Ylang essential oil diluted in the palm of my hand with 4 drops of Moringa oil which I leave on as a mask for a few minutes and wow it smells good!
Radiation therapy caused me a lot of pain, which I'm able to alleviate with Guggul Oil. Fantastic!
Every week, I treat myself to a foot treatment before changing my nail polish. I massage them with a vegetable oil, then with Oxypur salt, and leave them in the water for a few minutes, leaving the skin supple and smelling like a spa. I take the opportunity to treat my hands at the same time. Relaxation is guaranteed. During my break, I drink my Fountain of Youth.
What helped me the most during this period when I had to drink a lot (and the heat was intense) were superfoods. I made a shake in the morning with plant-based protein and almond butter. Then a second shake with the fountain of youth. This helped me regain some of the muscle mass lost during chemotherapy.
Finally, makeup accompanies me every day in the healing of my soul. Thank you Maison Jacynthe. » - Stéphanie July 28, 2022

" Good morning,
While the doctor asked me not to bathe during the radiotherapy sessions, I waited a few weeks to finally take a little sea bath. It's done! The solar shea butter allowed me to nourish my skin and protect it. No sunburn! Of course, I didn't linger in direct sunlight and I don't stay in the water for long.
I can finally use my two exfoliating gloves in the bath at home and give myself new, soft skin. It's like being at the spa.
I was on a lot of rest during this long treatment period (9 months in total including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and cellulite set in. I had wonderful results with the Spicy Choco and Coffee Fluid. My skin quickly became smoother.
Complex B has helped me improve my energy lately. I was feeling low! It's okay to have ups and downs during this type of treatment, but I couldn't get my energy back. I feel the need for this product to keep my spirits up and encourage me to get back into shape.
The fountain of youth is my daily essential. I can't live without it! It's my fuel.
Makeup-wise, I like to apply the terracotta to my cheeks with the big brush and then blend the blush into it.
I recently discovered Ambre room fragrance, a revelation for me. The scent makes me swoon. I spray it on the bath mat and above me as needed.
A big thank you to Jacynthe and Sylvain » - Stéphanie, August 28, 2022
