CLINIQUE - PUT YOUR BEST FACE FORWARD Clinique is sponsoring a patch program for New York City Juniors, Cadettes and Seniors! The goal of this patch is to help girls learn more about skin care, healthy habits, and the true definition of beauty. After completing the activities and submitting a Program Survey, girls will receive the Put Your Best Face Forward patch for FREE! Please use the Council's Patch Order Form to request patches. Juniors must complete 6 out of 10 activities 1. Go to a Clinique Counter (you do not have to buy anything) and learn the best ways to take care of your skin. Write down what you learned in a step-by-step guide and share this information at a troop meeting. 2. In your discussion with the Clinique associate, identify your worst skin care habit and develop a strategy with her as to how you are going to break it and some better habits you can replace it with. Chart your progress in a journal. 3. Talk to your doctor or a dermatologist and take notes about why it is crucial to wear sunscreen and avoid sun bathing. Bring up what you’ve learned at a troop meeting. 4. Write an essay on the true definition of beauty and how it relates to good health. 5. Log on to www.clinique.com and take the skin typing quiz on the Skin Report page and familiarize yourself with all of the answers and regimens for taking care of the various skin types and keeping them healthy. At a meeting, first explain the 3-step and proper sun protection concepts. Then ask a troop member the same questions that are on the Web site, “skin type” her and suggest the best 3-Step and sun protection regimen for her. You may take notes from the Web site to use in your presentation. 6. Read through three teen magazines with an eye toward what advice is being given about skin care, what types of skin care products are shown/talked about and what seem to be women’s main skin care concerns. Keep a record of your observations. Next, look through the magazines just at the pictures of the woman’s (models, actresses, etc) faces. What is their skin like? Are the images consistent with the concerns and advice given to the “real girls” who are reading the magazines? Should it be? Draw some conclusions from your observations and share them at a troop meeting. 7. Create a collage that expresses your views about what being healthy looks like on the outside and how being healthy makes you feel on the inside. 8. What do the words makeover mean to you? When can they be positive and when can they be negative? Look at some teen magazines at the “before” and “after shots” of the girls who’ve had makeovers. How do you think they look? Bring three sets of “befores” and “afters” to a troop meeting and discuss the pros and cons of the concept of a makeover. 9. Identify a celebrity, model, friend, or family member that looks “healthy” to you. Discuss at a meeting why she looks that way and the possible reasons she does. 10. Interview your grandmother or another older relative to see how she was taught to take care of her skin when she was your age. What has she learned since then? Is she doing anything differently now? Have her beliefs and/or routine changed? If so, why? |
