Yes, I totally got the title name from "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" —best show ever! Similar to his school survival guide, here is my skin survival guide. I've realized that especially when in college, stress, among other things, take a huge toll on our skin. Skin care is an insanely important aspect of your daily routine, so DO IT RIGHT WITH THESE TIPS:
1. DO NOT over exfoliate!
As much as we want to use a face mask every night for the cute/funny pics, too much exfoliation has a reverse effect. Sometimes you just have to let you skin breathe naturally.
2. WEAR SUNSCREEN.
The #1 source of skin aging is over-exposure to the sun, not to mention skin cancer. Wear that SPF. Your skin will thank you in 20 years.
4. Wash your face regularly.
It seems simple enough, but it can definitely be a struggle after a long night of partying. Even though you won't look as magical as the girls in the Neutrogena commercials doing it, take that makeup off!
6. Not all products are created equal.
You don't have to break the bank buying your skin care products, but definitely do your research.
7. As above, so below.
What happens beneath your skin reflects on it's outside. In other words, a proper diet and hydration will do more wonders than that mud mask you tried out at Sephora.
If you follow these tips, your skin will thank you! Most of these are self-explanatory and obvious, but make sure to do them! Share with a friend to pass on the healthy skin torch!
