Send your kids back to school armed with the weapons to keep their skin looking great through the stress of classes, exams and late nights!
From left to right:
- Keep skin fresh and blemish free by using multipurpose cleansers and moisturizers. Add water to Neutrogena’s Oil-Free Acne Wash Cleansing Cloths ($8) and wash face to clear acne and exfoliate while removing makeup and dirt. Great for late nights!
- Moisturize and protect with triple duty moisturizers. Maybelline’s Dream Fresh 8- in- 1 Beauty Balm Skin Protector ($9) comes in five tints to fit every tone and hydrate, protect, and perfect in one quick step.
- Keep a “skin survival kit” in your backpack that includes pre-moistened face cloths, travel sized moisturizers with SPF, and oil blotting papers. NYX Blemish Control Blotting Paper ($6) lifts oils without disturbing makeup and leaves a protective dusting of Salicylic Acid fight blemishes.
- Treat stress breakouts with spot treatments. Bye Bye Blemish Drying Lotion ($10) used daily stops a pimple in its tracks. Dip a cotton swab into the lotion, dab onto blemishes and leave on overnight. Don’t shake the bottle and store upright for best results.
- Treat stubborn “back and chest acne” with Murad Acne Complex Acne Body Wash ($40). This formula kills bacteria with Triclosan while healing blemishes with Salicylic Acid to prevent future breakouts.
