- October is Breast Cancer Awareness month
- 1 in 8 American women will develop the disease at some point in her life
- Shop skincare, make-up, hair and body products that support breast cancer research and awareness
While great strides have been made in treating breast cancer and in helping people reduce their risk of developing it, the disease remains one of the most common forms of cancer in American women, second only to skin cancer.
According to the CDC, each year more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and 40,000 die from it.
Or, to put it another way, one in eight women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer at some point in her life. This means you’re almost guaranteed to know – or be – someone affected by the disease.
For Breast Cancer Awareness month, many beauty companies have created limited edition offerings that support the cause. From hair dye to lipstick, shop products you want anyway and know that you’re helping to decrease that one-in-eight statistic.
