feelunique.com are proud to support Look Good…Feel Better
Look Good…Feel Better is a cancer charity that helps women manage the visible side effects of cancer treatment. Set up by the Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA), it gained charitable status in 1993 and is supported by the beauty industry’s most prestigious names.
Look Good…Feel Better helps women cancer patients in the most practical and positive way. Finding out you have cancer in any form can be daunting and life-changing, and the added stress of the appearance related side effects of treatment can be demoralising and very hard to cope with. This can have serious consequences on self-esteem and confidence at a time when a positive attitude is very important. Look Good…Feel Better addresses this very issue by holding free skincare and make-up workshops to help combat the visible side effects of cancer treatment and, in turn, boost confidence and wellbeing.
The sessions are run weekly, fortnightly or monthly for up to 12 people. They are held in over 59 locations throughout the UK, in hospitals and cancer care centres. The Look Good Feel Better Programme is now available in 21 countries worldwide.
At the beginning of each workshop, patients are given a gift bag filled with 17 different products donated by major companies throughout the Beauty Industry. Three volunteer beauty consultants take everyone through a specially designed 12-step skincare and make-up regime. At the end of two hours of learning, fun and laughter ladies leave feeling relaxed and full of renewed confidence in their appearance. They are then free to enjoy the product gift bag or ‘cosmetic tool kit’ at home.
Many women feedback that their LGFB workshop helped them regain a sense of control and normality at a time when diagnosis and treatment can make everything feel overwhelming.
“I was frightened to see how much hair had fallen out overnight and shocked at how I looked in the mirror. With some trepidation I went to a LGFB workshop and I can’t tell you how it helped me … I can now make myself look like the me I used to be, not the me who happens to be a cancer patient.”
Kate Tijou
LGFB Beneficiary
“Having gone through treatment for breast cancer myself I know what these ladies are going through. When you’ve lost your hair, eyebrows and eyelashes you don’t feel you can get any lower, but after a LGFB session everyone comes out happy, smiling and looking a million dollars. It’s wonderful to see and I’m pleased to be able to help with these great workshops.”
Annette Finlay-Price
Beauty Consultant and LGFB Regional Co-ordinator (Edinburgh & Kirkcaldy)
“The Beauty Industry is very proud of the work of LGFB both in the UK and internationally. We operate in a very image conscious environment and it is wonderful that our companies, brands and, most importantly, individuals within our businesses can all help in such an incredibly powerful, positive way.”
Per Neuman
Managing Director, Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd
“We feel very fortunate to have LGFB workshops taking place in The Royal Surrey Hospital. I always know when my patients have been along to a session because the next time I see them they are looking great and obviously feeling very much more positive and confident.”
