1.0 INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, we often hear people discuss about skincare related issue. From the
dangerous substances, types of break out and the way to take care of our face—these topics
have caught our attention more than before. The issues in regard to skincare is not new but
until recently, with the advancement of technology, the topic has been widely spread in social
media where people can share everything and anything that they discover. Back in the past,
it is rare for us to find a post that touches the issues of skincare in public material like
newspaper and magazine. Despite the drawbacks of advanced technology, we cannot deny
that it has brought the society’s mental perspective on a new advanced level. Before this,
people depend solely on what they have been told to wear without any explanation or
justification. Now, people started to become more aware by checking the ingredients
contained in their skincare products before purchasing them. It is great to see how the
perspective of this issue has changed, as the society becomes more aware and not reluctant
to find more about the skincare that suits them.
Skin care, in general, includes the range of practices that support skin quality, enhance
the appearance, and relieve skin conditions. In other words, our outer appearance represents
the quality of our skin as the values of a true healthy skin can hardly be observed through our
naked eyes. For example, a person who suffers from dull skin cannot just be assumed of
having lack of nutrient as there are many other factors, but we can easily recognize from their
skin colour. Therefore, it is very important for every person to be aware of their own skin
conditions. In addition, skincare is not just a one-day process. The users cannot expect the
result in one go as it needs a detail care, a sufficient amount of time to work other than
suitability of the product that matches the skin. Despite of the difficulties, it makes the skincare
routine a crucial process that we need to practice in everyday life to ensure a healthy skin.
From the above issues and concerns, a group of Part 4 students from Teaching English
as a Second Language (TESL) program from Faculty of Education are aspired to conduct a
one-day program called SKINNOVATION that aims to provide the participants with sufficient
knowledge, educate and raise their awareness in regard to skincare matters. In general, there
will be 4 slots that comprise of talk from experts and experienced speakers, tutorial session
on how to apply the skin care properly, skin test and booth exhibition session.
8
The program will be held at Dewan Berlian, UiTM Puncak Alam and our target
participants are the students from the university. This is because young people are the group
of people that have the highest tendency to have issues with their skin as they are in the
adolescent phase. Hence, they need proper knowledge to guide them throughout the journey.
We sincerely hope that the result of this program will be positive, and it will bring the
satisfaction to every participant. With this program, we wish that the participants will be able
to equip themselves with the true knowledge in taking care of their skin as well as being aware
of the importance of applying skin care in their daily routine.

2.0 JUSTIFICATION FOR OFFERING THE PROGRAM
Before we design this program, we did some observation and reading through social
medias, online articles and previous research on how ignorance the society are in regards of
skin care issues. Based on our observations, we found out that the society is still getting the
misconception in the matter of skincare. Some of the misconceptions are pricey product and
product that brings immediate result are the best. These misconceptions lead to the ignorance
of the users in choosing the right skincare product for themselves. Therefore, this program is
aimed to educate the participants on true facts of a good quality skincare product. Hopefully,
after attending this program, our participants can differentiate between good and bad skincare
products.
Other than that, from the survey that we have published prior to this program, there are
several concerns that are highly beneficial to be highlighted and focused in the program. First
of all, the issue of skin colours. Based on the survey, some of the respondents did not like
their own skin colours. This perspective prevents them to be able to value and embrace their
own skin colours. This is closely related with the popular issues regarding the beauty standard
where people often assume that fair skin equals to a great skin as they are perceived as the
most attractive. Within this program, we do hope that the participants will be aware and
embrace their skin well. As stated in the vision—”A Healthy Skin for Everyone”; a healthy skin
is what everyone should be concerned of.
On top of that, we found out that most people are still being biased and skeptical towards
the used of skincare amongst men. This gender bias has put the issue on a disadvantage for
men as they are expected to be tough and “not pretty” regardless of their skin condition that
they might have. Therefore, with the exposure and the discussion of the issue, we hope that
this stigma can be eliminated, and people will start to develop a new perspective that everyone
is entitled to a healthy skin.
Lastly, as mentioned above, we chose to focus this program within university students
because they are the group of people who have the highest tendency to suffer from bad skin
conditions and problems. As they are going through the adolescent phase, they need a proper
and true guideline for them to follow. Therefore, this program will cater to the participants’
need as they will get useful inputs from expert and experienced speakers. Hopefully, with the
help of this session, they will realize that they are not alone in fighting the problems and
therefore will take appropriate measures to combat the problems.

3.0 NEED ANALYSIS
Before we could proceed to organize the program, it is important that we learn the
needs of the participants in order to design a course that will suit them. Needs analysis helps
the organization to determine the gap that is preventing it from reaching the desired objectives.
Since we are organizing a skincare program, we need to know what is our participants’ needs
and knowledge on skin-related topics. Therefore, we have constructed a needs analysis
questionnaire (refer to Appendix A) to help us study our participants’ needs.
11
3.1 PART A: DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE
3.1.1 Age
The first question for our survey is our respondent’s age. According to the data that we
have collected, 64.2% of the respondents are from 18-21 years old (88 respondents) and
35.8% of the respondents are from 22-25 years old (49 respondents). Based on Erik Erikson’s
stages of human development, a young adult is a person between the ages of 19 to 39 years
old. Since our target group is young adults and we are targeting UiTM Puncak Alam students,
there is no respondent from the age of 26 and above. The possible reason for that might be is
because most of UiTM Puncak Alam students’ aged between 19 to 25 years old only.
3.1.2 Gender
The second question is the respondent’s gender. Based on the data collected, 76.6%
of the respondents are female (105 respondents) and another 23.4% of the respondents are
male (32 respondents). We can assume that female students are much more interested in
skin-related program compared to male students. This data is important to the organizer as it
will help us in planning and structuring the program in term of the sitting position, planning
activities and others.
12
3.1.3 Semester
The third question is the respondent’s current semester. Based on the data that we
have collected, 43.1% of the respondents are from Semester 4 students (59 respondents),
followed by 19% from Semester 2 students (26 respondents), 13.9% from Semester 3
students (19 respondents) and 13.1% from Semester 1 students (18 respondents). The other
10.9% are respondents from Semester 5 (3 respondents), Semester 6 (9 respondents),
Semester 7 (1 respondent) and Semester 8 (2 respondents).
3.1.4 Faculty
The fourth question is the respondent’s faculty. Based on the data we have collected,
60.6% of the respondents are from Faculty of Education (83 respondents). Then, followed by
16.1% from Faculty of Business and Management (22 respondents) and 9.5% from Faculty of
Pharmacy (13 respondents) and the other faculty in UiTM Puncak Alam including Faculty of
Art and Design (1 respondent), Hotel and Tourism Management (1 respondent), Health
Science (10 respondents), Accountancy (4 respondents) and Architecture, Planning and
Surveying (3 respondents).
13
3.1.5 State
The fifth question is the state that the respondent is currently living in. Based on the
data collected, 43.1% of the respondents are from the Central Region of Malaysia which are
Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Selangor (59 respondents). Then followed by 26.3% from East
Coast Region which are Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang (36 respondents). Next is 16.8%
from Northern Zone which are Kedah, Penang, Perlis and Perak (23 respondents) while 11.7%
is from Southern Region which are Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor (16 respondents).
Another 2.1% are from Sabah and Sarawak (3 respondents). We can use this information to
study if the state affects respondent’s skin related issues or not.
14
3.2 PART B: SKIN CONCERN
This part is related to skin concern such as respondent’s skin problems and what they will do
if they are facing those problems.
The first question is the skin problems that the respondent usually experiences. Since
the respondents can tick more than one answers, there is a variety of number for each problem
that we have listed. Most common answers are 73% for blackhead and whitehead (100
respondents), 69.3% for acne scars (95 respondents), 59.1% for acne (81 respondents) and
43.1% for uneven/dull skin tone (59 respondents).
Some respondents also choose other skin problems such as 41.6% for large pores (57
respondents), 40.9% for tiny bumps (56 respondents), 27.7% for dry patches (38
respondents), 12.4% for wrinkles and fine lines (17 respondents), and also 8% for
hyperpigmentation (11 respondents). We can assume that the common skin problems faced
by young adults in UiTM Puncak Alam are blackhead and whitehead issues, as well as acne
scars, acne, and other skin problems. There are additional answers given by the respondents
which are oily skin and dark circles.
15
After we have analysed the data, we have found out that most male respondents have
only voted for acne and acne scars as their main skin problems while for women, there are
various types of skin problems besides acne scars and acne, such as blackheads problems.
We can see that different genders display different skin problems but if we look at it as a bigger
picture, young adults commonly face those problems that we have mentioned.
This question is important for the guest speakers in planning what problems that they
should highlight more, and we can use these questions to create better outcomes of the
program. When the respondents are highly interested and can relate more to the issues, they
can enjoy the program better than when they cannot relate to the issues that are being
discussed.
The second question is the actions taken by the respondents when they are facing
those problems that they have chosen on the previous question. Based on the data collected,
80.3% will buy drugstore products (110 respondents), followed by 25.5% will go for facial
treatment (35 respondents) and then 26.3% will use home remedies (36 respondents).
Surprisingly, out of 35 respondents who have responded that they will go for facial treatment,
7 of them are male respondents which we can say that they really take care of their skins.
Sometimes, we think that males will not bother to go for facial treatments but this survey proves
us wrong.
16
Besides that, 15.3% choose “none” as in they do not do anything when they are facing
skin problems (21 respondents) while 5.1% choose to see dermatologist (7 respondents). Out
of 7 respondents who choose see dermatologist, one of them is a male respondent. There are
additional answers given by the respondents which are consuming supplements, do research
and buy the suitable skincare product and try not to be stressed out about the problems faced.
This data is useful for the guests which are the pharmacist and dermatologist to take
note what the participants usually do when they are facing the problems and perhaps come
out with good advices and useful tips for the participants regarding whatever actions that they
have taken. Looking at the data, we are aware of what our participants might need and the
data helps us to know what people usually do when they are facing a skin problem, especially
when it involves men because they are always seen to be unaware of the skincare related
things.
17
3.3 PART C: SKINCARE ROUTINE
In this part, we want to know about one’s attitude towards their skincare routine. The
data collected can be used to help us in deciding the most important part that we need to talk
about during our skincare session with our guests. This part will also give us wider view about
how our respondent’s skincare routine looks like.
The first question – “Are you aware of your skin type?” From the data collected, 86.9%
of the respondents answered yes (119 respondents) while 13.1% answered no (18
respondents). Out of 18 respondents who answered no, 10 of them are male respondents
while another 8 of them are female respondents. From the data given, we can see one’s
gender does not affect their awareness of their skin types. With this data, we can create a
better content for those who are not aware about their skin types.
18
3.3.2 Cleanse
The second question is – “Do you cleanse your face every day?”. Based on the data
collected, 75.2% of the respondents answered “yes” (103 respondents), while 17.5%
answered “not consistent” (24 respondents) and another 7.3% answered “no” (10
respondents). Based on the data, 5 out of 10 respondents who have answered “no” while 12
out of 24 respondents who have answered not consistent are from male respondents.
3.3.3 Moisturise
The third question is – “Do you apply moisturizer every day?”. Based on the data
collected, 43.8% answered “yes” (60 respondents), 29.9% answered “not consistent” (41
respondents) and 26.3% answered “no” (36 responses). From the data, we can say that the
number of those who apply moisturizer every day is almost the same with the number of those
who are not consistent and do not apply moisturizer every day.
19
3.3.4 Sunscreen
The fourth question is – “Do you apply sunscreen every day?”. Based on the data
collected, 44.5% answered “not consistent” (61 respondents), 35% answered “no” (48
respondents) and 20.4% answered “yes” (28 respondents). According to the data we have
collected, the number of those who apply sunscreen every day is less than the number of
those who do not apply and do not apply sunscreen consistently.
The fifth question is – “Do you practice double cleansing?”. Based on the data
collected, 51.1% answered “no” (70 respondents), 31.4% answered “yes” (43 respondents)
and 17.5% answered “I do not know about double cleansing” (24 respondents). According to
the data, majority of the respondents do not practice double cleansing.
20
3.3.6 Importance of Skincare Routine
The sixth question is – “Do you think it is important to practice basic skincare routine?”.
Based on the data collected, 86.9% answered “yes” (119 respondents), 10.9% answered “I
am not sure” (15 respondents) and another 2.2% answered “no” (3 respondents). The three
respondents who answered “no” are male respondents. This might be because of their lack of
interest in skincare related topic.
The seventh question is – “Do you know the importance of applying sunscreen/spf?”.
Based on the data collected, 86.1% answered “yes” (118 respondents), 8.8% answered “I am
not sure” (12 respondents) and 5.1% answered “no” (7 respondents). According to the data,
most of the respondents do know about the importance of applying sunscreen but they do not
practice it daily.
21
3.3.8 Ingredients
The last question is – “Do you check the ingredients (in your skin care products) before
purchasing the skincare?”. Based on the data collected, 62.8% answered “yes” (86
respondents) and 37.2% answered “no” (51 respondents). According to the data, 21 out of 51
respondents who answered “no” are male respondents and the rest are female respondents.
22
3.4 SKIN-RELATED TOPICS
The first question is – “Which topics you are most interested in if you are going to listen
for a talk?”. Based on the data collected, the most famous topic chosen by the respondents is
skin care with the percentage of 77.4% (106 respondents), followed by skin products for 62%
(85 respondents), then skin problem for 60.6% (83 respondents), skin type for 49.6% (68
respondents) and lastly skin cancer for 43.1% (59 respondents).
23
3.4.2 Opinion “Men do not have to take care of their skin”
The second question is – “Men do not have to take care of their skin because a man
should not look pretty. Do you agree with the statement?”. Based on the data collected, 94.2%
did not agree with the statement (129 respondents) while 5.8% agreed with the statement (8
respondents).
We also have asked the respondents to give reasons of their answer. We have
received 121 responds from our respondents regarding this question. From our thorough
analysis, all the responses can be sorted out into two sides of opinions.
The first and majority of the responses said that taking care of skin is more towards
skin health and hygiene. Most of the respondents mentioned that taking care of the skin is not
just for the sake of being pretty but a must for self-hygiene. It is up to that person to have a
routine for their skin because it does not mean that they want to be pretty, but they care enough
about their skin. Respondents also mentioned that there should not be any gender bias in
terms of taking care of our skin health. Few respondents have mentioned about skin cancer
which can happen to anyone, regardless their genders. One respondent mentioned that
clogged pores are disgusting and can lead to acne. Plus, Propionibacterium does not know
any gender. They attack all people. We believed that skin care is not just about "beauty”, but
it is about skin health. It shows one’s level of cleanliness too. So, for this majority responses,
we can see that people do concern about skin health and self-hygiene. We need to take care
of our skin to prevent skin cancer and other skin-related problems that can happen if we do
not take a good care of our skins.
24
The second most common responses are regarding appearance and self-confidence.
Respondents mentioned that good skin condition can increase one’s self-confidence and self-
esteem. They also mentioned that men should take care of their appearance too, in order to
make them look presentable. Good skin condition can make people, regardless of gender,
look decent and fresh. When we feel good about ourselves, we will feel more confident about
ourselves when we do something. We believe that this is not about being pretty or good looking
but one’s love towards themselves. When we love how we look, we can have the will to do
more for ourselves. So, taking care of our skin should not be something that only concerns
one gender but both genders. Moreover, our respondents mentioned that taking care of own
skin will not downgrade masculinity. We need to change this mindset where men should not
keep their skin clean and clear because it is not manly. Everyone should get equal opportunity
to give themselves some self-care especially when it involves their looks and how people
perceive them.
The third question is - “Do you like your skin colour?”. Based on the data collected,
82.5% answered “yes” (113 respondents), 14.6% answered “I am insecure with my skin
colour” (20 respondents) and 2.9% answered “no” (4 respondents).
25
3.4.4 Opinion “Fair is Pretty”
The fourth question is – “Do you think that being fair is pretty and the other way
around?”. Based on the data collected, 53.3% answered “no” (73 respondents), 32.1%
answered “maybe” (44 respondents) and 14.6% answered “yes” (20 respondents).
We have asked the respondent to share their opinion on that statement, "being fair is
pretty and the other way around is not". We received 117 responses for this question. After
we have read and analyse the responses thoroughly, there are few different sides and
opinions that our respondents give.
The majority answers are regarding beauty standards that we have set. The beauty
standard we set nowadays has made people to think that way. One respondent answered that
skin colour does not define beauty. That is one of the worst mentalities that we have in the
society. Some people even risked their lives to reach the beauty standards. Everyone should
know that we are not living to please people. Each of us has our own beauty, our own
uniqueness. We should be confident with ourselves and be kind with others. Instead of working
so hard towards reaching the beauty standards that we unconsciously set in our mind, we
should never oblige ourselves in the racism influence of beauty standard that was constructed
by society. People are born with different skin colours and it is not good to say fair is the right
standard of pretty when all skin colours are beautiful. No one should feel their skin colour
matters any less.
26
The second most common answer is regarding the treatment that one received.
Nowadays, being a beautiful or handsome figure has their own privilege. That is why everyone
is obsessed with their appearance. Some respondents mentioned that good-looking people
always get the better treatment than those who do not. It is true that sometimes, we can see
people that we consider as pretty or handsome in the society, get more attention and treatment
than others. However, one respondent mentioned that we should always remember beauty is
an abstract thing but one thing for sure, your skin colour should not determine how pretty you
are, as all colours are beautiful in their own way. The way they accept their inferiority complex
for being themselves is the one that decides that they are pretty or not. People's opinions do
not matter but yours.
There are few opinions that mention about skin colour does not define the beauty but
other qualities. One respondent answered that it is just a mindset of people thinking that if
someone is fair, they will be pretty. Unlike tanned or people with darker skin tone colour, they
need to make an effort for it. But to be honest, if you are confident in yourself, people will
actually see you as someone who is pretty because you are the one that chooses how you
want people to see you. If you are confident and happy with yourself, no matter what other
people say, you will feel beautiful and people can see that. Plus, beauty is in the eyes of
beholder hence why skin colour does not determine someone is pretty or not. The attitude
does. There is also a respondent who said that people with fair skin tone can suit with
everything while darker skin tone does not.
Based on the responses from our respondents, we believe that being pretty does not
necessarily means you need to have a fair skin tone. Even if someone with a darker skin tone
can be pretty as well. One respondent said that “why do we need to set standards of what
being pretty is like? We have our own skin tone, our own facial features and those are what
make us different and special. Imagine billions of people on this earth sharing the same fair
skin, same features, then where is the diversity in that?”, which is something to ponder of.
Besides that, we have one respondent who said “being fair is pretty” statement exists due to
beauty standard set by our community, especially from local sellers who continuously promote
fair skin products and whitening products.
27
3.4.5 Opinion “Flawless is Pretty”
The last question is – “Do you think by having a flawless skin is enough to say someone
is pretty?”. Based on the data collected, 57.7% answered “no” (79 respondents), 40.9%
answered “yes” (56 respondents) and the other 0.7% answered “maybe” (1 respondent).
There is an additional answer given by a respondent which is “Flawless skin is important too,
but there are also people who do not have flawless skin that is pretty”.
We have asked the respondents to share their opinion about “flawless skin = pretty”.
We have received 94 responses from this question. After a through reading and analysis of
the data, the responses can be sorted out into two major sides and opinions. However, we
think that the answers given by our respondents are neutral and not too biased towards one
another.
The majority responses said that having a great skin genuinely makes you pretty and
clear skin is what everyone wishes for. One respondent said that flawless skin boosts up your
confidence level. Another response that we received said that flawless skin is pretty but, a
pretty face consists of not only flawless skin, but also the right proportion and coordination of
facial features and a symmetrical face. A person can also look pretty with acne skin when their
facial features is proportionate and attractive. Flawless skin is a blessing because no matter
the skin colour you will still look amazing with a clean and nice skin. Flawless skin is indeed a
goal for everyone who encounters skin problems but having flawless skin does not determine
pretty. Getting your skin better and be comfortable with your own skin is what matters.
28
However, some respondents also mentioned about flawless skin does not necessarily
symbolises pretty. There are also respondents that said pretty is not about how we look but
also comes from within ourselves, our attitudes and other attractions. In term of appearance,
we just need to embrace your flaws, be confident and love yourself. If you happen to have
flaws that does not make you less pretty. Some people can even look good though they have
acne or scars. On the other hand, we know that first impression really matters. When we see
someone with flawless skin, we would give them compliments secretly because that is what
we would like to see and have.
There is also a respondent who said “Some people tried so hard to maintain a good
and clear skin, some just have to wash their face regularly to have that, therefore it’s not a
choice but rather good genes. Hence my thought on flawless skin equals to being pretty
sounds pretty unfair to me,” which can be true for some reasons. There are people who are
lucky with their skin and some do not. Flawless skin is a loved perception of the society rather
than a need. Everyone wants it but not everyone will get it. However, we cannot put aside the
fact that people who put so much effort on investing products for a healthier skin and a healthy
skin would hope at least they can become flawless once.
To summarize, our needs analysis questionnaire has successfully identified the needs
of our participants. The data we have collected can indeed be used to design the course which
will suit the needs of all our participants. Some of the respondents do not have much
knowledge on skin related topics. So, with this survey, we can identify what measure we can
take to make sure everyone will not feel left out as they join our program. From the data, we
also know what kind of activities we should design that would suit the participants’ needs.
29
4.0 THE CURRICULUM
There are four main courses of the programme and they are:
1. Slot 1: Talk from three speakers in different expertise
a) Siti Hawa binti Mohd Nor (a pharmarcist)
b) Dr. Mazlin bt Mohd Baseri (a dermatologist)
c) Maisarah binti Mahmud (a social media influencer)
2. Slot 2: Tutorial session (methods and steps in applying skincare products)
3. Slot 3: Skin Test
4. Slot 4: Booth Exhibition
30
4.5. Courses of the programme
For this slot, it will be divided into three sessions. The first session will be conducted
by a pharmacist, Siti Hawa binti Mohd Nor. In this session, the pharmacist will teach the
participants to read ingredients contained in their skincare products. It is difficult for most of
us to choose good skincare products as all the ingredients written in their scientific names that
are jargon for us. According to the survey conducted, there are still a few people that do not
check the ingredients before purchasing any products. Hence, that is why they need to
familiarise themselves with scientific names, especially those that are harmful. It is because,
it can help the participants to avoid products that contain dangerous chemicals which can
threaten their skin. So, this session will help the participants to be more meticulous in choosing
best products for their skin, once they are able to identify and recognise ingredients contained
in their products.
Next, the second session will be conducted by a dermatologist, Dr. Mazlin binti Mohd
Baseri. This talk will revolve around the importance of using sunscreen to protect our skin.
People will think that skin care and skin cancer are two different topics, but they are actually
interrelated. Based on the survey, most of the participants already know about the importance
of using sunscreen but they do not practice it daily. It can be said that most of the participants
are aware that sunscreen should be included as one of their skincare products. However, they
are lacking the real function of the sunscreen which is to protect our skin from dangerous ray
straight from the sun. Great exposure to the sun without any protection will definitely be
harmful towards our skin and worse, it could lead to skin cancer. That is why the speaker will
raise their awareness in order for them to take a good care of their skin
31
Last but not least, the last session will be conducted by an influencer, Maisarah binti
Mahmud. She has thousands of followers on her social media and her YouTube channel. She
is actively educating people to take care of their skin while suggesting them trusted products
that they can use. During this session, she will break through the taboo about men cannot be
“pretty” and the stereotype of being fair is beautiful. First of all, taking care of skin is a part of
hygiene. Everyone is responsible to ensure that their face is as clean as possible as it leads
to having healthy skin. Having unhealthy skin will lead us to other types of skin problems like
clogged-pores, acne, rashes and so on. In addition, it also helps us to be presentable
especially in crowd. Having good skin does play an integral part in raising our self-esteem and
self-confidence. Therefore, everyone is obliged to take care of their skin regardless of their
genders. It is not wrong for man to apply something on their face and it does not make them
less masculine at all. Next, she will highlight about our skin colours. Everyone should embrace
their skin colour. We should not conform with the beauty standard created by the community
which is being fair is considered pretty. Each person was born with different skin colour, we
do not have to change that. All we should do is to take care of our skin and embrace it.
For the tutorial session, it will be conducted by all the guest speakers. For this session,
they will demonstrate to the participants on steps to apply their products using the right way
and method. It is because there are still many people who lack this knowledge and just apply
the products as they like. Hence, that is why the products can barely give impact to their skin.
Firstly, they will first teach the participants the most basic skin care routine (cleanse-
moisturize-sunscreen). This basic routine works as an essential step—we should strengthen
the basic first before using another product or else it would not work. Then, they will teach the
participants on how to do the double cleansing method and the right way to apply sunscreen,
which is a must-have product that should be in everyone’s possession. Having a good skin is
not only about the products that you choose but it depends on way you apply them. It can be
said that, applying products on your face in a right way will help your skin to get the best impact
from it.

4.5.3. Skin test
After all the sharing sessions, the participants will have the chance to do a skin test.
This test will be conducted by the dermatologist and some of the staffs with the help from a
few facilitators. This skin test will help our participants to know about their skin types—oily
skin, dry skin or combination of dry and oily skin and skin concern. It is because, not every
product can fulfil the needs of our skin. For example, for individual with oily skin type, they
must choose products with light texture like gel or water-based products and it is best, to avoid
creamy textured product. Moreover, our skin condition can change overtime. So, we must be
aware of this as it will help us to choose the right products in the future. It must be kept in mind
that sometimes the products that we have been using cannot cater to the need of our skin
anymore, due to our skin condition is changing. This session will benefit the participants in
order to choose the right products according to their skin type.
The last session will be booth exhibition. We will invite local based-trusted products to our
programme. The participants will have the opportunity to know our best local brand. They will
be assisted by the products’ consultant and they can purchase the products right away if
interested. Nowadays, there are so many products that are fake and using harmful substance
such as parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), mercury and so on, to gain profits form buyer.
Not only that, sometimes the founder of the products knows nothing about the product or not
even the expert in the area. They just sell it for the sake of money. By joining this programme,
the participants will not be easily persuaded by those who are doing fake advertising. They
will be able to be independent to choose best products and take a good care of their skin.
33
4.6. Programme Evaluation
This programme was developed based on our participants’ skin concern. A survey was
conducted before organizing this programme to make sure we cater all of our participants’
needs (refer Appendix 1). This survey will help the organizer to highlight recent issues about
skin based on our participants’ concern. Thus, this programme will bring benefit to all
participants as it can enhance their knowledge about their skin.
By the end of the programme, there is another survey that will be filled by the participants.
The questions that will be asked will be based on our programme learning outcomes to ensure
the participants gain some input from this programme (refer Appendix 3). The purpose of this
survey is to identify whether the programme meets their expectation or vice versa. Thus,
organizer will be able to recognise ways to improve on their weaknesses, gaps or deficiencies
for the next event.

5.2 Venue
However, since the hall is located in Alam Bina (Gate A), students who live around the
Fasa 1 (Gate B) area might find it troublesome to go to Dewan Berlian since it is quite far from
their colleges. Alternatively, we have come out with a solution for the students living in Fasa
1, where we will allocate several UiTM busses to pick-up and drop-off the students at specific
time. Other than that, the RapidKL bus service will be available during the day too. Students
can commute RapidKL bus from the bus stop to arrive at Dewan Berlian.
Moreover, Dewan Berlian also has an excellent sound system and the hall is
soundproof. So, the sound will be loud and clear for the participants to hear. Dewan Berlian is
also equipped with air-condition so the participants and the speakers will be very comfortable
during the event.
On top of that, the event will take quite a lot of space, so the hall needs to be enormous.
During Slot 3 (Skin Test), the organization in charge will arrange the equipment needed for
participants to participate in the skin test. All the tentative so far is arranged solely for people
who have registered to our program. On contrary of that, for Slot 4 which is the booth exhibition,
people who are not registered for the event can also come to our event. We will collaborate
with several local brands to sell their products during the day the even takes place. The booth
will take space inside and outside Dewan Berlian but it will not be too packed. They can buy
the products and listen to their in-charged beauty consultant—and of course, there will be
discount and sale during the day!

5.3 Facilities
Below is the list of facilities that need to be prepared during the day of the event:
Other than that, facilities like prayer room, cafeteria, toilet are also nearby the hall. So, the

several years and is also an active speaker on Youtube. Her contents mostly talk about health-
related topics in hopes of educating the society towards the betterment. For this slot, Siti Awe

who works at Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital. She is an expertise of General Dermatology
and Laser & Cosmetic Dermatology. Her special interests are topics related to acne and Atopic
Eczema. For her session, she will highlight about the importance of sunscreen and SPF to our
skins. This talk helps to raise the awareness about the danger of skin cancer amongst the
participants.
39
The last speaker is a well-known influencer who often talks about skincare-related
topics on social media. Her name is Maisarah binti Mahmud who is currently studying in
Accounting School of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Gombak. She will be
assigned about the topics on breaking through the taboo of how men cannot be “pretty” and
suggest numerous ways on how to embrace our skin colours. These particular topics function
to raise awareness about how skincare routine is gender-free and it is a part of hygiene. It also
aims for the participants to appreciate and embrace their skin colours.

5.5 Financial Implication
All participants will have to pay for RM50 for the program fee. With the amount of
money they paid, they will get a goodie bag that comes with some testers and brochures from
our collaboration project with Cetaphil Malaysia. Dr. Mazlin bt Mohd Baseri (the representative
speaker for dermatologist) is also one of the ambassadors for Cetaphil Malaysia and she has
appeared in several advertisement for the brand. Other than that, all the participants will get
free skin test and consultation in Slot 2. The participants will be prepared free meal for lunch.
So, with the cumulative amount of the overall fees, that will be the budget for the whole event.

6.0 CONCLUSION
With all the inputs from the educated expertise of different fields, participants are
expected to already be able to compare good skincare products with the bad skincare products.
Secondly, participants are able to identify the danger of skin cancer. Next, participants should
be able to evaluate the importance of good skin care routine amongst men and women. Then,
participants are able to break through the taboo about how men cannot be "pretty". Finally,
participants are able to value and recognise their skin colours without following the beauty
standards.
Before the program officially ends, the facilitators will give out the evaluation forms to
all the participants. They will need to fill it in and give feedbacks of their overall opinion and
thought about the one-day program. Feedback of the program will be the benchmark of
whether or not it is effective and suitable to be continued in the next session. Suggestions and
comments will be taken into account to improve this program in the future.
