What's in your back-to-school beauty bag? Whether you're a freshman (in every sense of the word) or a seasoned scholar embarking in another pursuit of excellence, it pays to go green.
When it comes to organic beauty products, the simple life has never looked so…well, satisfying. Today's organic market masters the meeting of the minds between vanity and value by beautifying and treating the skin with various antioxidants, blended botanicals and vitamins.
Since first impressions are everything, you want to stick to a streamlined routine that will enhance your natural beauty. Even if you don't have time to apply everything, what you do apply will still be a healthy choice. Here are five product picks that will earn a turn of your tassel:
1. Tinted Moisturizer—Consider this to be your first important splurge in protecting your "skinvestment." Since tinted moisturizer is meant to be worn on the skin for a lengthy amount of time, you will want to select one that is jampacked with ingredients designed to improve and protect the skin. Besides, these are easier to use than foundation and more forgiving as you don't need an exact color match.
