Skincare routines and each product applied to your face should be of good quality in order to ensure that your skin is proactively being protected, but that doesn't mean you have to break the bank to have a consistent healthy appearance. Although every individual has different reactions to the same products due to varying skin conditions, taking a risk and switching up your daily formulas could potentially give your facial appearance the boost it needs. If you aren't noticing the results you expected with some of the products you currently use or simply want to try out new formulas, consider these essential skincare products.

1. Sunscreen.

If you don't already use sunscreen everyday, I suggest you start as soon as possible. Without protection from the sun's rays your skin could eventually begin to show signs of premature sun damage. An affordable sunscreen for daily use is the Cetaphil Pro Oil Absorbing Moisturizer which contains Spf 30 and currently retails for $13.76 on Amazon. This sunscreen can double as a daily moisturizer so you can save money on purchasing more products than necessary for your skin. This product has a light consistency so your face won't feel too oily or look too shiny when you apply it on a daily basis.

2. Micellar water.

If you use makeup on a regular basis and haven't yet found the right product to gently cleanse and easily remove all of the makeup products you use, Micellar Water is your best bet. Micellar water is a cleanser that helps to not only remove makeup but excess sebum and facial impurities. This oil based product works by attracting dirt and products and easily lifting them from the skin's surface. You can purchase Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water All-in1 for $8.99 at your local drugstore or Target.

3. Facial Spray. 

If you ever feel like your facial skin condition becomes dull or dry throughout the day, consider carrying around a small bottle of facial spray to refresh and hydrate your skin. A great facial spray product is Mario Badescu Skincare's Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater which provides the skin with moisture and leaves a glowy finish. You can purchase a travel friendly and full sized facial spray set for $12 on Mario Badescu Skincare's website. This facial spray can be used as a setting spray after the application of makeup and can be applied to your hair as well, making it an affordable and multi use product to incorporate into your daily routine.

4. Toner. 

Toner is a product that thoroughly cleans off any excess dirt and unneeded oils from your skin that should be applied after you cleanse your face. Many toners strip your skin from healthy oils and hydration which can cause either an overproduction of natural oils or extremely dry skin. If you are looking for a toner that both hydrates and cleanses your face, the Thayer's Witch Hazel Alcohol-Free Toner with Rose Petal is a great option. This toner retails for $14.99 on Thayers' online website and $9.20 on Amazon.

5. Eye Cream. 

If you struggle with baggy and puffy under-eye bags and haven't found a product to sooth and de-stress the area, consider the L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Eye Cream. This eye cream helps firm your under eye skin, decrease wrinkles and reduce puffiness if used on a daily basis. If you want to put an end to your dark circles, you can purchase this product at your nearest Walmart for $9.69.

It is important to be aware of the chemicals that don't react well with your skin type by making sure to read the ingredients of the products you attempt. Taking care of your skin should be one of your highest priorities in order to preserve your desired complexion as you age.

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.
