Simple Back To School Skincare Tips For Parents and Teachers

Keep reading to learn simple back to school skincare tips for parents and teachers. Parents and teachers spend their days caring for others, often forgetting to give their skin the care it needs. Between early mornings, long hours, and constant multitasking, it’s easy to neglect your own skincare routine. Fortunately, you don’t need a complicated regimen to maintain healthy, glowing skin.

Prioritize Core Products

Core products are the foundation of any solid skincare routine. Simply cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting your skin with a sunscreen that has SPF 30 or higher is a step in the right direction. A gentle cleanser twice a day keeps your skin fresh and free of buildup. Moisturizing your skin in the morning and at night helps to keep your skin barrier nourished. Sunscreen helps protect the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays that can increase the risk of skin cancer, premature fine lines, wrinkles, and worsen hyperpigmentation.

Remember, sun protection is nonnegotiable, even if you’re spending your day indoors. UV rays can still reach your skin through windows and fluorescent lighting.

A Simplified Approach to Active Ingredients

After staying consistent with a basic skincare routine, challenge yourself to begin making small enhancements to it. A simple way to enhance a skincare routine for parents and teachers is to begin using a vitamin c serum in the morning and a retinol serum a few nights a week. Vitamin C is great for preventing free radicals that cause oxidative stress which lead to fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, retinol stimulates collagen and promotes cell turnover helping to tighten the skin and improve fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and more. When using retinol, it is best to start low and slow. At night after cleansing, apply a layer of your preferred moisturizer, a pea sized amount of retinol, and another layer of moisturizer. Do this two nights a week to start, working up to nightly if the skin tolerates the increased usage well. Serenity’s “Night Renewal Serum” is formulated with .05% Tretinoin, this is a prescription grade retinol making it more effective than retinols available over the counter.
