4 Essential Skincare Tips

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

Many of us here at Her Campus love makeup! However, the most important part of making sure your makeup looks good, is making sure you’ve got a great base: your skin! Here are the 4 most important things to make sure you’re doing to have the best skin you can!

1. Make sure to use a gentle cleanser!

If you struggle with acne, you may be drawn toward harsher cleansers, but this is really counterintuitive because harsh chemicals can strip your skin of natural oils and leave it feeling very dry.

2. Exfoliate weekly!

Makeup doesn’t sit well when you have an excess of dead skin. Sugar and coconut oil make a great (and cheap!) DIY face scrub!

3. Make sure to moisturize well!

Yes, even those of you with oily skin! Oil fights oil, so when you deprive your skin of oil, you’re causing it to overproduce its own natural oils, making the oily skin worse.

4. Always wear sunscreen!

Wearing sunscreen is the best way to be kind to your skin! 

We hope you enjoy this skincare tips and get your skin glowing before spring break!
