How To Make Your Skin Glow, Even In The Winter Months
Shelby Stump

The winter months can really put a damper on having healthy, glowy skin. It is hard to look radiant when your skin is dry and flaky. Below are a few of my favorite products to keep your skin looking beautiful through the harsh winter months. Some of these items get a little pricey, but I recommend you purchase the mini sizes because you can try it out without breaking the bank.

All prices below are full-size prices; therefore, the mini sizes will be significantly more affordable.

1. Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser

This cleaner is great to use about once or twice a week. The glycolic acid gently exfoliates your skin to get rid of dead skin cells that cause dry patches. It retails for around $16.

2. Philosophy Purity Cleanser

This cleanser is a great cleaner for the days you do not exfoliate! It is extremely gentle and really cleans the skin while also not stripping the skin of its natural oils. It does a great job of keeping your skin healthy. It can be bought for $36.

3. Kate Summerville Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment

If I had to recommend only one product, it would be this one. The first time I used this I was absolutely stunned. The name does not lie because it really does its job well. After following the directions, there will be zero dead skin cells left on your face, along with your face feeling extremely smooth. It also evens out skin texture beautifully. Being priced at $85, it is a splurge item. It will last you a very long time because I only recommend using it once a week due to how intense of a treatment it is.

4. Pixi Glow Tonic

I never understood the importance of toning until I started doing it. You can purchase different types of tonics for different skin issues. This tonic contains glycolic acid also which means it will also exfoliate your skin. Glycolic acid is a great ingredient to look for during the winter months. This retails for about $15 a bottle.

5. Fresh Rose Face Mask

After all the exfoliation on your skin, you need to add moisture to the fresh skin cells. This mask is a quick easy mask to throw on for a couple minutes. It is made of organic rose and really makes your skin healthy. I love to apply this in the morning while I am brushing my teeth, before applying makeup. This mask goes for $62 full size.

6. Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm

Taking care of your eyes is one of the most important parts of skin care because they are the first to age. This eye cream moisturizes your under eyes while it also contains alguronic acid which is a leading ingredient in anti-aging skin care. A good eye cream is always worth the money because you only use a little amount each application. This one retails for around $68.

7. Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Active Brightening Oil

Adding an oil to your skincare routine is a huge moisture bonus. My favorite thing about this one is that it moisturizes, brightenings, and prevents aging all in one. I recommend applying oils at night right before your moisturizer if you want to have that extra boost of moisture for your skin. You can find this oil priced at $54.

8. Philosophy Renewed Hope In a Jar Moisturizer

This moisturizer does its job perfectly. For best results, I enjoy applying it in the morning and at night. It is really light and rich so it adds moisture to your skin while not clogging your pores. It adds such a beautiful glow to the skin if you wish to apply this under your makeup. This moisturizer can be purchased for $39.

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.
