Beauty makes you feel good — that’s why we turn to a mani-pedi appointment or spur of the moment haircut when life gets out of control. But when you’re broke, strapped for time, and trying to find peace in a tiny dorm room, acts of self-care can feel more like a “treat yourself” moment than an actual investment in your wellbeing.
However inconsequential it might seem, pampering is actually beneficial to wellness, and tending your body can provide tangible relief. If beauty products make you happier and feel restored on a daily basis, then we think they’re worth it.
So, this is an ode to those products and treatments that do a little bit more. They go beyond just skincare or makeup, and they go beyond a quick five minutes of relaxation. We’ve curated the best in beauty and wellness raved about by college students, and they’re all game-changing for your self-care routine.
