Company OverviewLiving with skin conditions or scars of any kind can presents unique challenges – physical, emotional, social and psychological to anyone of any age. The society often distances themselves from such issues, and the universal criteria used to define beauty does not make it any easier for those affected by such. People are often told that for them to be defined as beautiful, they have to look a certain type, have a flawless skin and a perfect shape, have a great set of teeth and a smooth skin with no scars. They spend a lot of money trying their all to fit the description, to be called flawless and to conform to the beauty standards set by the society. The truth is perfection is a myth! Rock scars was established in 2015 with the simple mission to redefine beauty. Valentine Mabaso founded the Rock Scars foundation after living with Atopic Dermatitis skin condition for 10 years. She then vowed to use her story and experience to advocate for those living with scars or skin conditions. she believes that people should never beg to fit in when they can stand out! The solution our project offers:We help people learn to love and celebrate their scars; we educate people about different skin conditions and help them learn to celebrate their differences. We restore self confidence in people and help them heal their emotional and physical wounds. We encourage people to stand out instead of trying to change how they look just so they could fit in. we encourage the society not to discriminate against people with skin conditions and/or scars.
