Top Tips For Freshers: Keeping Your Skin Happy While At College Is Easy

8/11/2015

3 Comments

 
If you are leaving for your freshman year at college in a few weeks time, you are probably incredibly excited. Perhaps even a little anxious. The time you spend in college will be some of the best years of your life - a time you will remember for the rest of your life.

That being said, while college is an amazing experience, uprooting yourself and moving away from home is a big deal. You will no longer have your mom to cook for you, and so you may end up living off of junk food and takeaways. 

Combine lots of fatty foods with late nights studying and drinking, and your perfect complexion will disappear. If you aren’t careful about what you eat and how you treat your skin while you are away, you will end up with unhealthy skin.

However, if you simply follow the tips below, you can ensure that even while you are away at college, that your skin stays looking fantastic. Intrigued? Yes - then make sure to keep reading below, for all our top skin care tips.

Drink lots of water
The first thing that you should know is that drinking lots of water is a must. If you don’t drink enough water, not only will you end up with a massive headache, but your skin will also become dehydrated.

Invest in a one-liter water bottle and aim to fill it up at least three times a day - the more water you drink, the better. Pick out a chic water bottle and make sure that you take it to class with you every day. Make your drinking water experience fun!

Remove your makeup each night
Don’t make the mistake of leaving your makeup on when you go to bed. Every night, whether you have been out partying or not, make sure to remove your makeup. Makeup that’s left on overnight can not only dry your skin out, but it can also lead to premature aging.

 Before you leave for college, invest in a natural facial cleanser and makeup remover and use them each night before bed. For nights when you have been out partying, it’s a good idea to have a pack of natural cleansing wipes by your bed, so that you can easily remove your makeup.

Invest in a microdermabrasion device
If you haven’t heard of microdermabrasion devices before, you might be wondering what we are talking about. Microdermabrasion devices are amazing products that exfoliate your skin, removing dead skin cells.

Admittedly, some models can be expensive to buy, but they last for years, and not all models are expensive, anyway. If you go online, you can see the different options available and can access a comparison of microdermabrasion devices by Aquilah. This will allow you to look at the pros and cons of each device and choose one that is within your price range.

Eat your greens
When you start college, you won’t have your parents cooking your meals for you or nagging you to eat healthily. It’s far too easy to fall into a routine or snacking on junk food and eating ready meals and takeaways each night. However, if you want to keep your skin looking good, as well as your waistline, it’s best to opt for a healthier lifestyle.

Yes, the odd pizza is okay, but most of the time aim to eat healthy. You might not realize it, but eating healthy can be not only cheap but also easy. Making healthy meals isn’t difficult, as there are plenty of simple recipes online that you can follow.

To ensure that your skin stays looking good while you are at college, make sure to follow the simple tips above. Make sure that you eat healthy, drink lots of water and always remove your makeup, and your skin should stay looking great.
