Starting university is a huge milestone — for your teen, and for you. Whether they’re moving into halls or commuting from home, life is about to shift. As parents, it’s natural to worry: Will they eat well? Will they sleep? Will they wash their sheets?
And what about skincare?
While you can’t be there every night with their favourite face cream, you can help them build lifelong habits that support both their skin and their sense of self.
Why Skincare Still Matters at Uni
University life brings stress, late nights, new environments — all of which can take a toll on the skin. Hormonal changes, junk food, alcohol, and lack of sleep can lead to:
-
Breakouts
-
Dehydration
-
Dullness
-
Sensitivity
A simple, effective skincare routine isn’t just about looks — it’s about resilience, routine, and feeling good in your own skin, especially in a new phase of independence.
A Smart Starter Routine for University Life
When it comes to skincare for teens and young adults, less is more. A few hardworking products can go a long way — and reduce the risk of skin reactions from overuse of actives.
-
Cleanse
A gentle cleanser to wash away makeup, sweat, and pollution without stripping the skin.
-
Hydrate
A lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser to support the skin barrier — especially in shared, heated accommodation.
-
Protect
SPF 30 or above is essential, even on cloudy days or while walking to campus.
Building Lifetime Habits with Longevity Skincare
At MAYDI+™, we believe good skincare starts early — not with harsh ingredients, but with smart, biologically intelligent support.
Our formulas are:
-
Clinically proven to reduce the signs of ageing — but they’re also excellent for protecting skin before damage starts.
-
Powered by BFE-01, our exclusive Frankincense extract clinically shown to inhibit the breakdown of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
-
Gentle enough for young skin, and effective enough for long-term use.
By introducing products like our Brightening Daily Serum or Hydrating Treatment Mask, you help your teen build a foundation for skin that stays strong and healthy well into the future.
Thoughtful Care Package Ideas
Sending a few self-care items in the post is a small act that goes a long way. Include:
-
A favourite moisturiser or night cream
-
A face mask for Sunday night resets
-
A handwritten note or photo
-
Herbal tea, lip balm, or a new face cloth
It’s more than a package — it’s a reminder they’re still cared for, no matter how far they’ve flown.
The Emotional Side of Skincare
Skincare routines aren’t just about skin. They’re about grounding. Comfort. A moment of calm in a busy student life. When your teen reaches for a familiar product, it can offer:
-
A sense of connection
-
A gentle act of self-care
-
A reminder of home
Even when they’re far away, the habits you’ve helped build go with them.
Tips for Teens Starting Uni (That Go Beyond Skincare)
-
Stay consistent with the basics — no need for 10-step routines
-
Avoid overloading with harsh actives (like retinol or strong acids)
-
Drink water, eat well, and rest — skin needs support from the inside too
-
If skin issues arise (like acne or eczema), see a GP or dermatologist
-
Build in time for self-care — mental wellbeing reflects in the skin
