DEBRA MESSING TEAMS UP WITH CURÉL® SKINCARE TO SUPPORT DIRECT RELIEF®

/ PR Newswire / — For the second time, Curél® skincare is partnering with the charitable organization Direct Relief® to offer comfort to some of the most vulnerable women and children of New York City. Because so many New Yorkers lack even the most basic personal care essentials, the Curél® skincare team donated its new Rough Skin Rescue Smoothing Lotion for inclusion in 500 personal care packages distributed by Direct Relief® to a local New York City center, giving the city’s disenfranchised women and families staples that are critical to their health and well-being. Debra Messing, star of a new hit television show, joined forces with Curél® skincare and Direct Relief® to distribute packages to those in need in October.

“I am so proud to be working with Curél® Skincare and Direct Relief® to deliver personal care packages to homeless women and families in New York City who are in need,” says Messing. “It’s heartbreaking to hear the statistics on how many people are living in this city without access to these essential personal care items that we easily take for granted. I am proud and thrilled to be a part of such an important effort.”

As the go-to brand for clinical, real skin solutions, Curél® skincare chose to partner with Direct Relief® so that it could help provide powerful skincare relief as a part of the charity’s personal care pack initiative outreach. Each of the 500 packages distributed contains Curél® Rough Skin Rescue Smoothing Lotion, a soothing, moisturizing formula that uses natural ingredients to relieve roughness and help prevent it from returning. Rough, dry skin affects so many people–especially those exposed to the elements as the temperatures drop and for those who do not have access to essential personal care items.
