Back to School Beauty Checklist

As summer winds down, it's time to gear up for the new school year. Besides getting school supplies, it's essential to feel confident and look your best not just for school, but any occasion! Here are some easy-to-use and affordable back-to-school beauty essentials for a simple yet effective beauty routine.

Cleanser & Moisturizer Combo

Start your day off right with a facial cleanser that suits your skin type. Whether your skin is naturally oily, dry, or mixed, it's important to wash your face in the morning for a clean start to your day and to remove any build up of excess oil and dirt thats accumulated overnight. Follow up with a moisturizer that matches your skin type and if you're unsure, chat with a specialist on our site! 

Unleash your lashes

Enhance and brighten those tired eyes with a coat of mascara to make them pop! A good mascara is like a caffeine boost of confidence with one reviewer saying "I love this product so much. It doesn’t clump up, and doesn’t weigh my lashes down which is always what I’m looking for in a mascara. It fans my lashes perfectly and I get so many compliments on the length!" 

For a smile that matters

Keep your lips soft and moisturized with a nourishing lip balm! No one likes chapped peeling lips and one of our favorites to recommend especially while it's sunny, is from Jack Black with SPF 25. For a hint of color, opt for a tinted lip gloss that complements your natural lip shade! 

Available in Shea Butter, Natural Mint, Lemon, & more! 

No Wash, No Worries

Late-night study sessions and early mornings might not leave much time for washing and styling your hair. Use a dry shampoo like this one from Pureology  to quickly fix and refresh your locks and add volume when you're in a rush. The oil buildup will get absorbed into the dry shampoo leaving your hair non-greasy looking and lightweight for texture and definition.

 Travel sizes available 

But first, nails!

Add a touch of flair by polishing your nails! To help find a shade, maybe look to your school's colors, something to matches the summer season, or your favorite color.

Nail polishes available from OPI & Zoya!

Hair Accessory Essentials

Don't forget the small things! Pack some hair ties and clips to keep your locks out of the way.  There's nothing worse than needing something as simple as a hair tie or clip, and not having it. 

Big Hair, Big Dreams

With limited time in the morning, spending 40 minutes blow drying your mane is probably out of the question. With that being said, if you're still wanting your hair to look blowout ready as quick as possible, Hot Tool's One Step Blowout and Volumizer is a game changer. It's an all in one hair tool that dries and styles your hair with an oval shaped brush perfect for natural waves and taming frizz. 

Heading back to school is an exciting time, and having a simple beauty routine can make the transition smoother. With these easy to use beauty essentials, you'll be ready to conquer the day and any situation with style! Share your favorite back to school beauty items and tag us @HansBeautyStor!
