How to Upgrade Your Skin Care Routine Before School Starts

Back to school, while an exciting time for some, can be a high-stress time for others, causing skin to go haywire and breakouts to pop up out of thin air. Say goodbye to the bumps and upgrade your routine by incorporating a deep cleansing gel cleanser into your routine like Vichy’s Normaderm Gel Cleanser. Great for oily and acne-prone skin, the cleanser helps to purify your skin and unclog your pores without causing dryness. Formulated with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and micro-exfoliating LHA, the gel transforms into a foaming lather that rinses away clean, leaving skin feeling soft to the touch.

After cleansing you’ll want to make sure you moisturize. And, since you need to wear broad-spectrum SPF each and every day, why not combine the two steps into one? We love Garnier’s Moisture Rescue Actively Hydrating Daily Lotion with SPF 15. You’ll protect your skin from moisture loss and from UV rays. Best of all, the non-comedogenic formula won’t clog your pores!

Once a week, reach for a cleansing mask like Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque. Formulated with Amazonian white clay, this non-drying clay mask helps to purify skin to minimize the appearance of pores and eliminate impurities that may be lingering on the skin causing it to look dull.
