Its aim was to educate the contestants on the elements of good skin care as well as inform them about the benefits of adopting a good skin care regimen. It also served to prepare them for the photo shoot that followed. All contestants were present and accompanied by their chaperones.

Made-up contestants with Mary Kay ladies

The contestants were given the opportunity to perform the skin-care regimen themselves under the instruction of Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Connor. This allowed them to gain hands-on experience thus deepening their understanding of the concepts presented. All products used in the session were Mary Kay products. The skin care products were provided courtesy of the consultants.

Before beginning the process, the contestants were given the task of assessing their skin type with assistance from the consultants. The first step involved the application of Mary Kay’s Timewise 3-in-1 cleanser, used to deep clean the pores, exfoliate dead skin cells and renew the skin. This was followed by the application of moisturizer which, according to Mrs. Brooks, acts as water/hydration for the skin. She stated that just as water is essential for the preservation of the body, so is moisturizer necessary for the maintenance of the skin. Mary Kay’s Satin Lips Lip Mask was then applied to exfoliate the lips.

Girls in Session

Following the skin-care session the contestants were directed on how to apply their make-up subtly to enhance their natural beauty. After the application of their make-up, they went directly into the photo shoot.

The Bank through this medium would like to thank Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Connor, Mary Kay Consultants for their services. The wrap outfits worn by them were purchased from Why Knot Everywhere Wear located in West End. The photography was done by Mr. Ivor Hodge of Images By Ivor.

The CCB Talent Teen show is scheduled for Tuesday, August 5th , 2008 as part of the Summer Festival 2008 activities.
