Skincare Favorites You Need to Get Your Hands On

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

Skincare is so vital for healthy skin, especially in the brutal winter months. I’ve invested a lot into trial and error with products and skincare is not cheap! I have dry skin, and I can even be acne prone at times. It can be hard in the winter months to keep it feeling soft, but i’ve slowly curated a list of products I love.

 

–      O.R.G Skincare Mineral Peel Face is great for exfoliating the dead skin off your face for a smooth and fresh feeling before moisturising! Exfoliating scrubs actually leave micro tears in the skin and can cause more dryness. Many estheticians will tell you to not use exfoliating scrubs for those reasons.

–      My simple everyday moisturiser is Ponds Dry Skin Cream

 

Towards the end of the day for my night time skincare routine, i’ll switch it up with these products:

 

– Ayele & Co Sunflower Sweets Serum. It’s a nice light serum for the skin and hydrates along with so much more.

Steli Cosmetics After Dark cream is amazing! It is a more recent find but it has drastically improved my skin in such little time. It is incredibly moisturizing and helps to clear skin simultaneously. It is a more oily face cream because of all the natural ingredients, but if you like that type of product like I do you’ll love it.

Clinique’s Clarifying Toner number 2 is a staple for me to cleanse my skin. It makes my skin feel so clean, cool, and refreshed.

Those are just some of my favorites that I would highly recommend you check out if you’re on the market for new skincare!

 

 

 

Hey everyone, my name is Cristina. I'm a Senior here at Utica College!
Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
