Vegan Skincare Products to Stash in Your Backpack
As a student, your days are packed with classes, study sessions, and social activities; the time for a complicated and lengthy skincare routine just isn’t there. But you don’t need to choose between making it to class on time or keeping your skin fresh and healthy, especially when you have the right products at your fingertips. Having a few trusty essentials in your backpack to use throughout the day makes all the difference. If you want to look and feel your best wherever your day takes you, here are BodyBoom’s top picks that are easy to carry around and keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
- Go With the Flow Moisturizing and Cleansing Micellar Water: Sometimes, your skin needs a quick clean-up, especially after gym class or before a big event. BodyBoom’s Go With the Flow Micellar Water delivers a burst of juicy hydration. This multitasking, cruelty-free, vegan formula is infused with nature’s goodness to leave your skin soft, supple, and renewed. Use it as a makeup remover, facial cleanser, or a quick refresher during your day.
- Moisturizing and Soothing Hydro Face Cream: Air-conditioned classrooms and stressful activities can leave your skin feeling dry and flaky. Keep a travel-sized hydrating moisturizer on hand to give your skin a boost. This vegan formula from BodyBoom contains good stuff like –
- Brazil nut seed oil that protects your skin from environmental wear and tear.
- Avocado oil that reinvigorates your face to its natural healthy glow.
- Rosehip oil that improves skin tone and texture.
- Lip Balm: Chapped lips are common during all seasons, so you need a good lip balm. To choose a good vegan lip balm, start by checking the label to avoid animal-derived substances like beeswax, lanolin, or carmine. Instead, look for moisturizers such as shea butter, cocoa butter, and coconut oil, which provide excellent hydration. Additionally, prioritize products labeled as cruelty-free to ensure they were not tested on animals.
- Sunscreen: Always carry a small tube of SPF to protect your skin from UV rays, even on cloudy days or during outdoor activities. Go vegan by avoiding sunscreens that contain ingredients such as beeswax, lanolin, or collagen. Look for active ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which provide effective mineral-based protection. Additionally, select sunscreens labeled as cruelty-free so you get a product that has not been tested on animals. This two-in-one product from Body Boom is a great option. Skin Dopamine Intensely Moisturizing Face Cream with SPF 50 has all the good stuff you need to moisturize your skin and protect against sun damage.
The most important thing is this: test several sunscreens to find one you like; you’ll never use it if you don’t like the way it feels on your skin. Once you find one – USE IT. Consistent SPF protection is the best thing you can do for your skin, bar none.
- Hand Sanitizer: Choosing a vegan hand sanitizer is easy. First off, look for plant-based ingredients like aloe vera, tea tree oil, and essential oils that naturally keep your hands clean and moisturized. Make sure your choice is labeled cruelty-free, so you know no animals were harmed in the process, and avoid products with harsh chemicals or animal-derived ingredients like glycerin.
- Acne Spot Treatment: Spot treatments are a quick fix for unexpected breakouts; good ones treat the blemish and reduce unsightly redness and inflammation. When choosing a vegan anti acne skincare treatment, focus on finding one made with plant-based ingredients like tea tree oil, witch hazel, and a salicylic acid derived from natural sources. Avoid animal-derived components like lanolin or beeswax, and make sure the product is cruelty-free. A good spot treatment on the go, as well as a daily routine that includes a vegan anti acne wash will keep those dreaded zits to a minimum.
- Facial Mist: A refreshing mist can hydrate and soothe your skin and provide a quick pick-me-up during long study sessions. Choosing a vegan facial mist is all about finding a refreshing spray that includes natural, plant-based goodies like aloe vera, rose water, or chamomile and avoiding products with synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals.
- Blotting Papers: Blotting papers help you manage excess oil and shine on the face while on the go without disturbing your makeup. Find a vegan brand made from sustainable products like bamboo or recycled paper that doesn’t contain animal products such as collagen or gelatin.
- Mini Hand Cream: Hand cream keeps hands soft and moisturized, especially after frequent hand washing. BodyBoom’s Wildly Refreshing Body Cream for Dry and Dehydrated Skin checks all the boxes. This lush lotion contains shea butter, sweet almond oil, and pomegranate extract, and is packaged in a recycled container, so you’ll feel good using it, outside and in. Apply it every time you wash your hands to keep your skin soft and prevent your cuticles from cracking.
- Eye Cream: Being a student is hard; sometimes, your tough days show up as dark, puffy circles under your eyes. That’s when you need just a dab of Hydrating & Illuminating Face & Eye Cream from BodyBoom. This cruelty-free vegan eye cream features a potent combination of natural caffeine, vitamin C, and fatty oils that work to re-energize your skin and give you a fresh, illuminated look.
