See The Real Me with Johnson&Johnson

From my teen years, I use Johnson & Johnson products. So I am excited about their Teen-powerment campaign. I wish I attended one back in the day.

The first of initially a target of 300 teen-powerment programs- aimed to promote confidence and courage among teens to show their real selves- was held in Makati High School (located in the corner Gen. Luna & JD Villena Sts., near Rockwell Drive, Poblacion, Makati City) last July 30, 2014, 10:30 AM.

I have had pimples as early as 15 years old. As a result, not only was I awkward, I was also very shy. I hated looking at the mirror.

My aunt, who suffered from the same, then gave me a set (cleanser, astringent, moisturizer) of Clean&Clear. It was either the first or second anti-acne medication I had ever used. I also tried Clean&Clear face powder because it has salicylic acid to fight blemishes.

And I also had very heavy flows. I trust Modess for that. I used their ultra-slim gel pads, and their cottony soft pads are very comfortable. I also used Carefree for everyday wetness as I saw my mom always has that in her drawer.

A troubling global statistic: 75% of adolescents 13-19 years old are growing up as fearful adults. Johnson & Johnson wants teens to understand that menstruation, odor and wetness, oiliness and pimples are not hindrances but a milestone for this new chapter in their lives.

This campaign bravely challenges the marketing philosophy that to sell one's products, self-confidence must be sacrificed. When in fact, teens' bodily changes aren't a taboo but should rather a celebration- a signal to show the world who they are, and what they have to offer. This is a time to share their thoughts and ideas, have fun, participate in socio-civic activities that drive personal progress and development.

Thank you, Johnson & Johnson- Clean & Clear, Carefree and Modess!

So...
Who is the real me?
The real me is a vixen...

Naah, just kidding.
I'm already 30 and sometimes I still have my insecurities.
But I'd like to think that the real me is a sincere person who is not afraid to stand up for truth and justice.
