“As a beautician I know that wearing the masks all day will be having negative effects on their skin.

“So I put together a pamper bag with cleanser, moisturizer, exfoliator, eye masks, face masks and hand cream.”

Rebecca hopes that the goodie bags will help key workers with stressful jobs be able take a step back and focus on themselves, especially if they have not had time to do so during the national lockdown due to demanding workloads.

Her business Beauty Sparkle Cosmetology will not be able to reopen until government guidelines allow and so is donating her time to making key workers feel valued.

She is donating her gift bags to any key worker who feels they need a bit of self care. These include nurses, doctors, teachers, supermarket workers and many more.

But she needs help to make the volume that she wants to give out, so she is asking for donations from Doncaster people.

Rebecca wants to raise enough money so that she can start sending the gift bags to care homes as well as key workers.

“The key workers that I have delivered them to so far have been really happy,” she added.
