7 Favorite Skin Care Routine Tips
Start writing a post

As college students we are often stressed, not sleeping enough, dehydrated, or not eating properly... and because of that, our skin takes a hit as well. Skin care is not only important to maintain healthy skin but it's also important to help you feel good. Here are some of my favorite tips to keep your skin healthy!

1. Rest and Sleep

Sleeping is the best, and most natural way, to improve your skin. It'll also help you look less tired... obviously! Getting 6-8 hours of sleep can significantly help.

2. Stay Hydrated

Water, Water, Water! It's almost as important as sleeping. Staying hydrated will keep your skin clear and healthy. If you don't like just drinking plain water, you can buy natural water flavoring packets (easily found on Amazon or at Walmart).

3. Moisturizer

Use a face moisturizer and massage it into your face - this will help with your circulation and open up your pores.

4. Exercise 

Exercise can be so helpful because it helps get the blood flow and oxygen going. Additionally, the sweat will help open up your pores and clear up your skin!

5. Face Masks & Pore Strips

Not only is this great for your skin in many ways, but it's also a great way to relax and take a break. Use trusted brands and do your research before putting anything on your face!

6. Exfoliate 

Use a face wash in the morning and the night to help clear your skin and open up your pores. I personally love and have been using the Pink Grapefruit Neutrogena face wash for years now. But again, before you use any product make sure to do your research.

7. The Less Makeup, the Less Acne

Wearing makeup often can cause acne because it irritates your skin. If you want to clear your skin up, go bare-faced, or wear light makeup for a week and see how you feel!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
