Expert Tip for Student Skincare

"Store your cleanser, moisturiser and SPF together so mornings are quick. Set a phone reminder for evening skincare, and keep a small kit in your gym or library bag. If your skin flares, strip back to gentle cleanse and moisturise for a week, then reintroduce one active at a time. Consistency matters more than having many products."

- Kimberley, Clinic & Customer Experience Manager

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best skincare routine for students on a budget?

Keep it to three steps in the morning and evening. Cleanser, moisturiser and SPF for day. Cleanser and moisturiser at night, with a spot treatment if needed.

How often should I cleanse my face at uni or college?

Twice daily works for most people. If your skin is very dry, cleanse once at night and rinse with water in the morning.

Which cleanser is best for student skin?

Opt for a gentle gel or cream cleanser that does not strip. Foaming gels suit oily or blemish prone skin. Creamy cleansers suit dry or sensitive types.

Do students really need SPF every day?

Yes. Daily SPF helps prevent dark marks from blemishes, protects against premature ageing and keeps tone more even.

What is a good moisturiser for oily or acne prone skin?

Choose oil free or gel textures with ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid to hydrate without clogging pores.

How can I handle breakouts during exams or stress?

Use a targeted spot treatment with salicylic acid or sulphur, avoid picking and keep your routine simple and consistent.

Are toners and serums necessary for students?

Nice to have, not essential. Add a hydrating serum if you are dry, or a gentle exfoliating toner 2 to 3 times weekly if you have congestion.

How do I manage late nights and make up?

Always remove make up before bed. Micellar water can help, but follow with a proper cleanse to avoid build up.

Can I mix active ingredients as a beginner?

Introduce one active at a time. Start low and slow with retinol or acids, and always use SPF in the daytime.

What if my skin is sensitive?

Choose fragrance free products, patch test new items and focus on barrier support with ceramides and gentle hydration.
