It’s cheap, easy to get a hold of, and keeps your skin soft. Aveeno’s Daily Moisturising lotion is a staple.
#ONA SKINCARE FULL#
Get yourself a good moisturiser for your full body and you’ll soon find it does wonders for your skin all over. It has a gentle scent and helps restore your skin overnight after a busy day - I find the routine of skincare also helps with sleep as part of a bedtime routine, an added bonus! It’s important to note that skincare doesn’t end at the face. Will: After exfoliating at night, I use Botanics Organic Overnight Facial Oil. I have repurchased this product over and over again because it really is a cult classic. The moisturiser that I use the most is the CeraVe Moisturising Lotion. And yes, people have laughed at me for wearing factor 50 in April, but as I always reply, 90% of premature ageing is a result of UV-B rays. The one that I used last Summer is the Bioderma Photoderm Dry touch Mat Finish Sunscreen SPF50+.
Marti: I use SPF (as much as I remember) between March and October.
You’ll then be able to work up to more regular use if you want to. As the product suggests, I’d recommend starting slowly, particularly if you have sensitive skin. It just works which is why I’ll happily pay the £2 a week. Glossier’s exfoliating skin protector is on the pricey side but lasts me about 3 months. Will: I use a chemical exfoliant once a day before bed which seems to work for my skin. The few that I alternate are the Inkey List Lactic Acid, and The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (I use this one max once a week because it low key terrifies me). The reason I only use these products every few days or so is due to how stripping they can be. The difference between the two (alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids) is quite longwinded and complicated, but I will leave a link in case you’re interested. Marti: Twice a week, I use a chemical exfoliant, such as a BHA or AHA. Give it a sniff, are you alright with a fragranced product? Both in terms of the sensitivity of your skin and whether you like the smell? I found fragranced cleansers irritated my skin so I’ve stuck to more neutral cleansers since. There are also a few things you can look out for before waiting weeks to see a result. A cleanser, exfoliator, and moisturiser are three simple building blocks to start out with. Keep it simple and build your routine up. What if this one doesn’t work? Is that a wasted month? It isn’t, it’s all part of learning about your own body and that’s a great thing. It can make getting started in the world of skincare rather daunting. One of the issues I always found with trying new products is the inevitable lag between trying it and seeing the results. However, it is lightly scented which may prove too much if you have sensitive skin. In particular, their All Bright Gentle Cleansing Cream is refreshing and foamy in a good way. Their Botanics range is cruelty-free, vegan, and reasonably priced. Especially if you’re starting out, it’s good to be able to see a lot of products in one place. I’d start by taking a look in your local Boots in York. There’s a lot more out there and if it says ‘for men’ it’s just marketing. Thankfully I’m living proof you can wean yourself off their Tea Tree Face Wash and find other products that suit your skin better. Will: The Body Shop seems to have an unnatural grip over young students, particularly men. If I’m crawling into bed after a night out, or haven’t worn much makeup, I usually use micellar water and cotton wool (or reusable cotton pads) to remove the dregs of my mascara and eyeliner. Due to the fact that this is a product you scoop and work into your skin, I find it a lot easier to use in the shower. I usually use the cleansing balm when I’ve worn a lot of makeup during the day. Honestly, this depends on how lazy I’m feeling. Marti: On days when I’m wearing makeup, I use the Garnier micellar water or the Banilla Clean It Zero cleansing balm to begin my skincare routine. The key message that I learned is that skincare is for everyone, regardless of gender, and that bad skin doesn’t have to come hand in hand with exam stress and too many late night Effys’! This lockdown-induced period has left me with a lot of random knowledge, and a lot skincare products that I absolutely love. I don’t know about you, but I went through a period of being obsessed with skincare YouTubers such a Hyram and Mixed Makeup. We’re here to share how we keep skincare fun and affordable. We know it can be difficult to start and keep going with a skincare routine as a busy student.
