In honor of Women’s History Month, Clinique is rolling out the “Face of Adventure” campaign, which celebrates and supports women taking their passion and determination to new heights, literally. The beauty brand is teaming up with five female adventurers that will blaze a new path of their own this year—and each knows extreme conditions that can wreak havoc on the skin.

The five women include the first Black woman from Africa to climb Mt. Everest to the first disabled Latin woman to climb Kilimanjaro to the first female and first Latina national correspondent for National Geographic. While on their journeys and pushing the boundaries in female exploration and achievement of the outdoors, these women will rely on Moisture Surge, the Clinique moisturizer that the brand says boosts hydration in three seconds and stabilizes skin with 100 hours of hydration, against extreme levels of daily dehydrators—cold, heat, rain, wind, altitude.



Moisture Surge 100 Hour is formulated with fermented aloe and hyaluronic acid complex. The moisturizer also features Auto Replenishing technology which helps skin create its own internal water source to continually rehydrate itself, according to Clinique, a leading brand with an iconic history owned by The Estée Lauder Companies. (A look at the development of fermented aloe in Moisture Surge 100 Hour will be featured in the April 2022 issue of Happi.)

The women are: Saray Khumalo. Elise Wortley, Marcela Maranon, Emma Svensson and Dr. Mireya Mayor. 

Consumers are invited to hear their stories, raise their voices and follow them to the ends of the earth on Clinique's on social media across Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tik Tok and Pinterest.



Saray Khumalo is the first Black woman from Africa to summit Mt. Everest and the first Black woman set to achieve the Explorer Grand Slam. She hails from South Africa and will be traveling to Indonesia this April, and to Denali, Alaska in June.




Hailing from London, Elise Wortley is bringing to life the incredible stories of history's forgotten female adventurers through her project “Woman with Altitude,” by literally walking in their footsteps, using only tools that were available to them at the time
.


Partnering with 30-40 women on a full mission of about one-two years, Emma Stevenson is the first to lead an-all female team to climb every 4,000-meter peak in the European Alps.


Originally from Peru, Marcela Maranon is the first Latin woman with a disability to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, an accessibility advocate, and recently traveled to and skied the French Alps.


Emmy-nominated primatologist, author and the first female and first Latina national correspondent for National Geographic, Dr. Mireya Mayor is traveling to Alaska to film the television program, “Expedition Big Foot,” where she is the only female scientist on the show, followed by an upcoming trip to Africa.
