Tips On Maintaining Healthy Skin While Living On Campus

 

By Janet

College life can be busy and sometimes, self-care can take a back seat.

However, maintaining healthy skin while on campus is crucial for not only your physical health but also your mental well-being.

 

Students have been complaining that using hostel water to bathe is damaging to their skin. So, here are some tips to help you maintain healthy skin while dealing with bad hostel water.

 

Use a water filter: Invest in a water filter to remove impurities and contaminants from the hostel water before using it to wash your face or take a shower.

 

Avoid hot water: Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Use lukewarm water instead to cleanse your face and body.

 

Use gentle products: Choose gentle, non-comedogenic skincare products that won't clog your pores and cause breakouts. Look for products that are formulated for sensitive skin.

 

Moisturize regularly: Moisturize your skin immediately after cleansing to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Use a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer that won't clog your pores.

 

Don't over-wash: Over-washing your face and body can strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Stick to washing your face and body twice a day, in the morning and before bed.

 

Avoid sharing personal care items: Sharing personal care items such as towels, washcloths, and razors can transfer bacteria and germs, leading to skin infections and breakouts.

 Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. If the hostel water is not suitable for drinking, consider investing in a water filtration system or buying bottled water.

 By following these tips, you can maintain healthy skin while dealing with bad hostel water. If you are experiencing severe skin issues, consider consulting a dermatologist for professional advice.

Two Mariams, One Stage: JJ Classics Production Casts Sociology Sophomore, Osaremeh Ijebor, Opposite Veteran Thespian

  Ijebor’s presence on stage will inevitably invite comparisons with Temi Agoro. While Agoro has the formal thespian training to boost her performance, Ijebor’s approach to the role may be done simply with outsider instincts and adaptability. AUTHOR: Eniola Awolesi K. At University of Ibadan’s Theatre Arts department, the theatre and its stagecraft-art are seen as a profession, and more than that, a heritage. So in casting decisions, the casting of a non-thespian in a major role is about as rare as a honest politician. Yet, this year’s ambitious theatrical performance by JJ Classics Production of SANKARA has done just that. A sociology sophomore by academic discipline, the spotlight has fallen on Osaremeh Ijebor as a frontline actor playing the requisite role of Mariam Sankara, wife of the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso. Of the 13 actors that make up the mainstage and student show cast, Ijebor is the only non-thespian. As a cast in the student show, she will be shadowing main...
