Look Good ... Feel Better
This program helps women living with cancer improve their appearance and self-image by teaching hands-on beauty techniques to help them overcome side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Volunteer beauty professionals lead small groups, usually consisting of six to ten women, through practical, hands-on experience. Women learn about makeup techniques, skin care, nail care and options related to hair loss such as wigs, turbans and scarves. Each participant receives a free kit of cosmetics for use during and after the workshop. No charge.
Pre-registration is required. Please call Affinity NurseDirect at 1-800-362-9900.

Program Background

Feel Better program was founded and developed in 1989 by the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CTFA) Foundation, a charitable organization supported by the cosmetic industry, in cooperation with your American Cancer Society (ACS) and the National Cosmetology Association (NCA), a national organization that represents hairstylists, wig experts, estheticians, makeup artists and other professionals in the cosmetic industry. All cosmetology volunteers attend a four-hour certification class in order to become a Look Good...Feel Better volunteer.
Look Good...Feel Better is product neutral. Volunteers and program participants do not promote any cosmetic product line or manufacturer. All cosmetics used in the group program have been donated.
