Best Face Forward for Teens is a free program designed to assist teens with self esteem and self confidence through health and beauty education.

Once a month, five girls will attend a local salon to receive a mini-facial, a lesson on skin care, a makeover and have their hair styled. A guest speaker will discuss a variety of topics such as etiquette, inner beauty, health issues and skin care education.

Dinner will be donated by a local restaurant. Moms (and Dads) are encouraged to stay and enjoy the day with their daughters. Each girl will receive a goody bag of cosmetics and ski that will be used the day of the event.

The inspiration for this program came from my two daughters Abbey 14 and Sophia 9. My hope is for teens to acquire the tools and education necessary for a life long positive approach to their health and appearance.

We have received ongoing support from our local Sephora store as well as many other sponsors. Although the local media will be covering the event providing donors with public recognition, I will be also pursuing national media coverage in the near future. My goal is to establish this program locally first, then help other communities get started. If you would like to host Best Face Forward for Teens in your community or sponsor the program please contactCynthia.
