October officially marks Breast Cancer Awareness month and in its honour we're spotlighting the latest releases with the colour that’s long been associated with women. While these products may not be specifically linked to breast cancer charities, they can be a conversation starter to get talking about breast checking and early detection, including the signs and symptoms of the disease, which are crucial for breast cancer treatment too.
With the MENA region, as well as some countries in South Asia, having the highest annual diagnosis rates worldwide (largely due to population growth and longer life expectancy), it’s ever so important to get the conversation rolling. Breast cancer is the most common non-skin related malignancy in women living in GCC countries, according to reports from the US National Library of Medicine. Plus, the Middle East is one of the regions where patients with breast cancer show advanced stages of malignancy at the time of diagnosis and at younger ages.
So from the best pink make-up to the latest skincare products and perfume launches that come packaged in the feminine hue, here are the latest beauty items to help you paint the town pink so you can help raise awareness.
