MY SKIN. MY WAY
SOCIAL / DIGITAL + EXPERIENTIAL ACTIVATION
GIVING A STAGE TO IMPERFECTION
Gillette Venus’s ‘My Skin. My Way.’ campaign is a repudiation of airbrushed perfection and recognition that every woman has a right to feel comfortable in her own skin. So instead of covering up scars, cellulite, birthmarks and other skin ‘imperfections’, we celebrated them – creating beautiful designs that show off what society tells us to hide.

We’re taking unique skin hang-ups – cellulite, birth marks, stretch marks – and using them to make colorful, beautiful patterns that can be turned into textiles or any other art form. Designs that will help women see their skin in a whole new light.
We’ll partner with people like Chrissy Teigen – unashamedly proud of her perceived imperfections – and other skin-positive influencers. Sending them a package with a special dress designed using their own unique skin hang-ups to create a one-of-a-kind pattern – one that literally allows you to wear your insecurities on your sleeve.
Gillette Venus will leverage New York Fashion Week with a show that tells us we’re perfect just as we are.
Our celebratory ‘My Skin. My Way’ NYFW show will feature our influencers walking down the runway wearing the garments designed using their own unique skin insecurities.
To encourage everyone to feel comfortable in their own skin, we’ll extend the activation. We’ll partner with a retailer to create a clothing line featured in-store with sales proceeds going to skin-positive groups.
In addition, we’d feature our unique designs on limited-edition razors and allow people to go online and create a pattern designed from their own unique skin hang-ups.
To help tell people they’re perfect as they are, we’ll also launch No Filter Fridays #NFF, where everyone posts un-retouched and un-filtered selfies or body photos. To promote #NFF, we’ll create a unique branded Venus filter. When you add the filter to your photo, it does nothing but show you as you should be seen.
No hiding. No effects. The only filter you need to celebrate you and your skin.
