With Freshers Week coming up, we bet a lot of you are getting excited!
You’re probably prepping your outfits and your first aid kits ready for freshers flu…but what about freshers face?
Keeping your mind and skin fresh amidst the chaos of beginning a new chapter is important, so we’re here to help!
In this blog we’ve got some tips and tricks to help you keep your skin clear and happy. Read on to find out all about them.
How To Avoid Freshers Face
Freshers week can often come with lots of new experiences. Meeting new people, getting to grips with new classes, and of course, a few parties here and there.
With so much change going on, it can be tricky to keep on top of everything, but your skincare shouldn’t go out of the window!
Below are a few of our tips for avoiding freshers face…
Stay Hydrated
Water is important. Now read that again!
We can all forget to hydrate now and again, but on a week like freshers week it’s vital. Not only for avoiding hangovers and feeling sick, but also for keeping your skin looking and feeling fresh.
Whether it’s during a study session or in between drinks on a night out, make sure you’re hydrating with plenty of water.
You can also hydrate your skin directly with products like our Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Skin Duo.
Hyaluronic Acid is the perfect ingredient for getting that extra bit of hydration into your skin while keeping it plump and clear.
Fresh Faces Before Bed
We’ve said it countless times but we won’t stop saying it…no going to bed with makeup on!
Removing makeup and cleansing before bed means you’ll have less risk of clogged pores which can lead to breakouts and blackheads.
Cleansing also helps to prevent signs of ageing, so you can enjoy your beautiful, youthful complexion for longer.
Our Double Cleanse Bundle has everything you need for an effective, simple cleanse before bed!
Toning in the morning and evening is also super important, and our AHA Glycolic Skin Tonic & Bamboo Pads Bundle helps you with that!
It exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells while moisturising and soothing the skin. The bamboo pads have a breathable material, making them ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Don't Skip The Sleep
Now, we know it may be tempting to stay up all night long, whether it’s to study or to party, and while that’s okay every once in a while, it shouldn’t be a regular occurrence.
Beauty sleep isn’t just a myth, there’s a whole lot that your skin does while you sleep.
First of all, it regenerates, creating new skin cells to replace the dull, dead ones you exfoliated away.
Sleeping also allows your skin to retain moisture and produce collagen, helping to keep your skin supple and plump.
As you sleep, our Rejuvenating Overnight Cream works to relax the skin, providing nourishing benefits and giving the appearance of 8 hours of restful sleep even if you haven’t had it (but you should!).
Have Fun
Unfortunately, we don’t have a product specifically for this one (although you could argue that all of our products are fun!), but remember to enjoy your university experience.
Take some time here and there to have a break from the endless studying and nights out to practice some self-care and treat yourself.
You could even plan your perfect at-home spa day!
