Three Things to Try This Week

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colgate chapter.

 

1. Exfoliate and Moisturize

Looking forward to getting a tan over break? Make sure to maximize your week on the beach by properly prepping your skin. Exfoliation increases circulation and sloughs off old dead skin cells, revealing fresh new ones, so your skin looks glow-y and healthy in that new L*Space bikini. This also helps your moisturizer penetrate the layers of your skin, increasing your tan’s longevity. Exfoliate easily in the shower with a scrub or loofah. 

2. Carry Out Dinner

Take a break from the midterm rush and order in with some friends. You’ll be able to catch up and relax while enjoying some good food. Not everywhere in Hamilton delivers, but you can call in and pick up from almost anywhere.

 

3. A Top-Knot

This trendy and versatile style is the perfect cute and functional way to keep your hair out of your face during long hours in the library and on the beaches of the Dominican Republic.

Here’s a tutorial for the slightly more polished, but also more labor intensive, version from Australian Vogue:
