Bye Bye Acne, Hello Clear Skin

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at USF chapter.

Yes, it’s almost that time of the year! Time to start thinking about those ruthless finals. With finals comes the neverending stress, which leads to pimples galore. So how can you stop your skin from caving in to all the stress? Here are three Neutrogena skin care products that can help clear your skin without making a huge dent in your wallet.

 

Neutrogena’s Acne Stress Control Power-Cream Wash

This is a “MUST HAVE” item when it comes to clearing sensitive skin. Unlike the intense micro-bead cleansers washes, this power-cream has a smooth texture that doesn’t irritate sensitive skin, while removing all dirt and makeup instantly. The power-cream also leaves your skin feeling soothed and refreshed from a long hard day. Plus it’s only $7.99, not bad right?

 

Neutrogena’s Acne Stress Control Triple-Action Toner

After your skin has been cleared from a long day, it’s time to moisturize it. For those who have oily skin, moisturizing using regular lotions can actually clog your pores and make it that much easier for you to get acne, that’s where the toners come to save the day. Only $7.49, the triple-action toner helps moisturize your skin while softly coating a protective layer of salicylic acid over your skin. The salicylic acid is known to fight acne fast and effectively while leaving your skin feeling refreshed and clean. In order to get the most out of the toner, try using cotton pads rather than your hands when applying the toner onto one’s skin. By doing so, you will be able to reach parts of your skin that your fingers cannot.

 

Neutrogena’s Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel

Although washing one’s face and moisturizing it may get rid of acne for some, others might need a bit more help. If your one of those people, try the Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Gel. All you have to do is apply the gel directly to the affected area after washing your face. This gel will instantly reduce an acne’s redness and instantly heal the skin to its healthy origins. The key is to apply the gel gently onto your skin rather than irritate it through rubbing furiously. Since a little goes a long way with this gel, spending $8.99 is definitely worth it.

Purchasing all three beauty products comes to the total of $24.47. That means buying these products is one less stressful thing on your wallet, while relieving your skin. Now you are prepared to tackle your finals and the pesky acne that comes with it. Good luck collegiate, and defeat those finals like the powerful woman you are!

 

Hello, my name is Silvia. I am currently a junior majoring in mass communications with a concentration in public relations. I decided to choose public relations because I believe that it is the most applicable concentration when working in such a fast-paced, interactive industry such as fashion. My dream is to become a fashion magazine layout designer in Tokyo, Japan. I was born and raised in Japan and am currently in my third year living in the states. I grew up in Japan and have modeled with Japanese companies since I was in middle school. Some jobs I did include modeling, acting and even being an extra in a national movie. Through modeling, I was able to get first-hand experienced how much work and creativity goes into publishing a fashion magazine. Since then, I knew that fashion was and is going to be a part of my future career. I am prepared to do whatever it takes in order to achieve my dream job and make a mark in the fashion industry.
