Look Good…Feel Better- Helping Women With Cancer
Group workshops
The Look Good Feel Better group workshop is a 2-hour, hands-on workshop which includes:
- A detailed description and demonstration of the 12-step skin care and makeup program
- Instruction on options relating to hair loss, including wigs (types/care), turbans, and scarves, nail care
- Helpful suggestions on clothing and ways to use flattering colors and shapes, as well as ways to camouflage areas of concern during cancer treatment.
Each patient participating in a group workshop receives a free kit of cosmetics, donated by the cosmetic industry, to use as tools to learn techniques during the program and take home. A group program typically includes 6 to 10 patients and several volunteer licensed beauty professionals who conduct the workshop.
