Makeup…some people love it, some people hate it, but for me, I know that I don’t wear it every day. With early classes, I know that I need all of the sleep I can get and while it would be great to not look dead in the mornings, I don’t have time to beat my face every morning. In order to look alive and have the most enjoyable makeup-free semester, I have turned to Neutrogena ® and Clean & Clear® to help clear my skin! With a new year, new campus, new boys, and new classes, there are a lot of things that can cause stress and breakouts on my face, so these gorgeous bits are an everyday must-use product on my bathroom sink!

There are a few simple ways that can really help people alleviate stress along with using a great cleanser to help you make your year go smoother! I can hit up my local Target to pick up just about everything I need to make my life just a little easier.
1. Plan Your Week Out Early
If there’s one thing you can do to help alleviate stress, it’s necessary to plan your week out. By planning you week out, you know exactly (well sometimes life throws things at you) what you’re up for. I use a weekly planner that allows me to see everything for the week all at once, so I know exactly what life is going to throw at me! 
2.Use the Neutrogena ® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub & Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser in the Morning & Clean & Clear® Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub at Night
Having clear skin is one of those things that for me at least, really alleviates stress. I’ve been using theNeutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub & Neutrogena® Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser in the Morning & Clean & Clear® Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub at Night over the past few days to really help clear out my skin. The salicylic acid and vitamin C in both help clear all of the blackheads on my skin and smooth out my skin! Doing a great makeup routine like this in the morning preps my skin for not having to wear makeup all day, but also doesn’t over-dry my skin. At night, I use the Clean & Clear® Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub is a great thing to use at night to massage all of my skin and also revitalize my skin at night after a long day of classes.
3. Exercise
I know no one wants to hear this, but exercise. It may not feel like you have the time or energy, but you’ll live, just by going to the gym for one or two hours every day or every other day. I try and go most days, between or after classes. Exercise is a big stress relief and it is a great way to relax after a stressful day of classes.
4.Go to Bed Early
I love going to bed early because I wake up in the morning and I don’t have to stress about getting up and sleeping through class. I hate being tired during the day, especially as the day goes on, so getting 7-8 hours of sleep is a big stress reliever for me. 
Getting rid of stress is something everyone needs to learn how to do, especially when it comes to college. All of these products from Neutrogena ® and Clean and Clear® are going to help me be my most confident self this semester and I’m super excited to head to all of my classes with 0 makeup!
