October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women during their lives and many of us will know someone who has had it. That statistic is truly upsetting. Breast Cancer Care are a charity who provide information and support to anyone who has been affected by breast cancer. They provide vital face-to-face support and have a free, confidential helpline run by nurses & trained staff with experience of breast cancer. They also have an online forum where you can chat to others affected by the disease. Back in 2010 I spent a few nights on a women's cancer ward when I had an ovary removed so I saw first hand how much those women were suffering. I think it's incredibly important to donate to such a great cause. Your support can make so much difference.
Escentual.com have joined forces with Breast Cancer Care to launch #DareToBare - their campaign to get women to be sponsored to go to work with no makeup on. The campaign runs throughout October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and women can be sponsored to go without makeup for a day, a week or even the whole month, with all proceeds going towards women suffering from breast cancer. You can join their JustGiving Dare To Bare team here. I know how difficult it can be to leave the house without makeup on if you have less than perfect skin. If you don't feel up to the challenge you can still support #DareToBare by tweeting a makeup-less selfie. For every selfie shared, Escentual.com will add an extra £1 to the donation total. Just remember to include @Escentualdotcom, @BCCare and #DareToBare in your tweet. If 1000 people were to do that, it'd be an extra £1000 donated to Breast Cancer Care so get tweeting your selfies now! You can see how your donations help here.
For the duration of the campaign, Escentual.com will also be donating 10% of sales to Breast Cancer Care on 5 pink skincare products. The products are: Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water, Nuxe Gentle Toning Lotion With Rose Petals, Vichy Idealia Life Serum, Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S Morning Eye Rescue and Vichy Idealia Smoothing & Illuminating Cream. I think this is such a brilliant cause so I urge you all to get involved somehow. For more information about #DareToBare check out the campaign page on Escentual.com.

Having spent more than my fair share of time at the breast clinic this year, and with 2 of my 4 grandparents having already had or sadly died from cancer, cancer charities are some of the few I support, including Breast Cancer Care. Glad to see others supporting the cause.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this, I need to do it! You look lovely without make up anyway! I'm so used to myself with makeup I look a bit odd without it haha
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing thing to do for an even more amazing cause. Thanks for sharing!

Everything about this blog post is so beautiful! Your face, your hair and most importantly, supporting breast cancer awareness. As beauty bloggers, I think it's nice to take the time to talk about important issues that affect women and raise awareness where needed. I think it's really brave to be able to show your face completely makeup free to the whole world.
