Keep it simple

Hey y’all! As we wrap up the first semester of this new school year, let’s keep our beauty routines simple and clean. Here are my must-have beauty essentials for all the college girlies out there:

First up, a fabulous mascara is a game-changer for those early mornings. The SWEED Cloud Mascara is my all-time go-to because of the beautiful lifting effect it gives your lashes, making you look awake and refreshed.

Next, The Skinny Confidential Trio – Ice Roller, Sleeping Bag, and Ice Queen Oil – is essential for any morning routine. The Ice Roller is amazing for lymphatic drainage, snatching up your skin, and making you look so fresh and awake. It’s probably my favorite part of my morning routine. It takes the least amount of time but gives the most impact.

Sunscreen, above all, is a must-have in your daily routine. As a woman in my mid-40s, I get so many compliments on my skin, and I owe it all to a lifetime of sunscreen use. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later for making sunscreen a priority now.

And let’s not forget about good quality hair accessories. The type of ponytail holders you use really does matter for the health of your hair. I recommend using Teleties Hair Coils or Soft Satin Scrunchies to put your hair up in the morning or even for sleeping at night. They prevent breakage and are gentle on your hair.

Remember, we want to be mindful of all the things we’re doing and the accessories we’re using to ensure they support our long-term beauty goals. These simple, easy beauty essentials will have you looking and feeling your best as you head back to school!
