Here’s a roundup of student-friendly, glow-giving essentials that will keep your skin calm, protected, and balanced during busy days:

Pro Skincare Tips for Students

  • Keep it simple: Use multipurpose products to save both time and space in your bag.

  • Hydrate on demand: Mists and light oils are lifesavers against classroom A/C and dry heat.

  • Don’t skip SPF: Sun protection is a must, even on cloudy mornings walking across campus.
