Does my Charlotte dermatologist have tips for skin care at college?

dermatologistDermatologist tips for Charlotte coeds

Dermatologists know that students all over the country will be packing up belongings and moving into a college dorm. Unfortunately, the layout and the privacy of your dormitory bathroom is probably not as convenient as your bathroom at home, especially for those who must share it with the entire floor. This makes it difficult to maintain your skin care regimen. Hopefully, we can offer some easy and quick skin care tips for such a living situation.

Tip #1:  wash your face with a facial cleanser

Let’s be honest lack of sleep is often the norm when it comes to college life. Chances are high that you will have early morning classes, and there will be lots of nights when you will be studying for quizzes and exams. Start by cleaning your face before bedtime. If you leave makeup on when you sleep, this is really bad for your skin. Be sure to keep plenty of yourself makeup remover wipes on hand, so you can quickly take your makeup off before hopping into bed. Washing with cool water and a facial cleanser will help to keep skin clean and healthy.

Tip #2:apply a moisturizer

Once your face is clean, you need to hydrate your skin. You should use a facial moisturizer immediately after cleansing. If possible, look for a Moisturizer with SPF, to help keep your skin protected from the sun’s rays.

Tip #3: de-stress with a face mask

Perhaps on Friday evenings or the night before a test or quiz, applying a face mask is a great way to calm down and relax while also taking care of your skin. You don’t need to sleep in it, find a mask that only needs to be left on for 10 – 20 minutes.

Tip #3: use an eye cream

Do you feel that you are too young to be using an eye cream? Your college years are actually the perfect time to start. The stress of college life will first show up in and around your eyes. Regular use of an eye cream will reduce puffiness and dark circles that will be the tell-tale sign of staying up all night.
