The first day of school is always a little nerve racking no matter how old you are. I remember my first day of college was no different especially because I was in a different new state and did not know a single soul. But never the less I walked into my class very confident and a bit nervous at the same time because you always want to have a lasting first impression. Luckily for me I had no break out that day as I had made it a point to have clear skin by day 1 of college as I knew it would help me feel confident as I walked into my first class on my new campus.
Not only did I make a ton of friends within my first semester but I also kept up facial routine in order to be stressed about one less thing while in college. Because who wants to be worried about a pimple on a first date on top of finals and 3 papers you have to turn in? Not this girl!

My biggest secret to keeping my skin flawless were these 3 amazing products by Neutrogena® and Clean & Clear®, as they each served a different purpose for my skin. They not only helped keep my skin flawless but they gave me all the confidence in the world I needed to make it through 4 years of college with a smile on my face.
So here is my mini routine (tips and tricks) that created I for myself while in college to help keep my life balanced that I think you’ll have an easy time following yourself…
- Always make sure you eat breakfast to start your day, no matter how early or late your first class may be.
- Pack snacks and water for your day. most of us are on campus for hours and being on a budget you don’t want to be spending money on everyone of your meals.
- Have a study buddy to help keep you motivated.

4. Create a going to sleep routine, meaning make sure that at the end of the night you are clearing your head and taking care of yourself
5. Develop a skincare routine for the night and morning and when you get a little stressed. It is very important to take care of your body and this means making sure you are also taking care of your face and keeping it healthy, especially during those stressful times.

6. Have a book of gratitude in which you write in everyday to say what you are thankful for because it easy to get caught up in the now and not realize all that you have.
7. Plan your week ahead on Sunday to create a schedule of what you will do and create a less stressful week.
