The arrival of October signifies many things, notably, the realisation that we are well and truly in autumn, which means there’s only three months until the end of the year (cue New Year resolution panic)!

However, October is also the pink month. Breast Cancer Awareness month is an annual campaign to raise awareness of the disease, which is the leading cause of death among women. It provides an opportunity for countless fundraising efforts all aimed at supporting research to find ways to beat breast cancer, faster. Doing their bit for the cause, a number of beauty and wellbeing brands have created limited edition products or are donating a percentage of profits, in aid of breast cancer support. While others are simply great for breast cancer survivors.
