Her Campus x Neutrogena®
Neutrogena® is on a mission to advance skin health for all by breaking down the barriers that stand between you and your
best skin ever. During a year like no other, many of you have gone above and beyond to face the future, and we wanted to
celebrate that!
We’re thrilled to announce the second annual Faces of the Future winners, featuring students and recent graduates with a
passion for beauty, skincare, health, or wellness. Read on for words of wisdom from this year’s Faces of The Future.
As a Faces of the Future winner, I will be able to reach even more kids, teens, and young adults no matter how rare or general their skin condition is and teach them that this part of them is what makes them special and true beauty is about being yourself. I will be with them on their journey to embrace and love the skin that they're in. In the end, having a rare skin condition is something that I should not be ashamed of, and that this difference within me is already allowing me to make a difference in the world.”
As a Faces of the Future winner, I plan to kick off a local school mentorship program in the low-income New Orleans area. I would definitely invest in minority STEM students with materials that will pique their interest in the field. Two of the main things that minorities lack are resources and access to information, and I definitely would work to change that with this grant.”
In the past two years of my Master’s Program, I have worked harder than ever to improve the health and well-being of those around me. I believe that being the winner of the Faces of Future program will put me in the best possible position to further my personal, academic, and educational goals.”
I started researching how prevalent the Imposter Phenomenon was and how this issue is a leading reason why gender disparities exist across multiple STEM disciplines, especially tech and engineering. As a Face of the Future winner, I will continue to use my platform to combat the Imposter Phenomenon in my own life as well as help others in my community see their full potential. It's not who you are that holds you back, but what you think you are not."
I am tired of women and POC being cast aside in these conversations, and I am motivated to bring the change that I can to the status quo of STEM. In parallel, Neutrogena advocates these values within their mission for skin health, and my unique identity and efforts allow me to be a torchbearer for this cause."
