Life can get stressful, and it can be tough to keep track of what you need as daily products, as well as to obtain them at reasonable costs. Here are ten essential products that every college student requires, all for less than ten bucks!
First up on our list of essential products is convenient hair ties. Hair ties are an everyday necessity, whether it’s to save your life on a terrible hair day or to lend one to a friend in need, always having one on hand is a must. Because they are so easy to break, making sure you have a convenient hair tie for your hair type is super important! Always remember to stock up on hair elastics that are specifically designed for your hair type; whether your hair is thick or thin, straight or curly, everyone’s hair reacts differently to elastics. The best part about this one of our essential products is that they are extremely easy to find in bulk for very cheap prices, as well as in a variety of different colors and styles.
Next up on our list of essential products is a pack of mini face razors! These at-home and easy-to-use tools have a long list of benefits that you should consider: They remove dirt, debris, dead skin, and facial hair in order to smooth and soften skin. Mini facial razors will also leave a cleaner surface for oils and serums to penetrate into the skin deeper, therefore leaving your skin ready to look brighter and cleaner! Plus, using these will also make makeup go on more smoothly and last longer throughout the day leaving you feeling refreshed and ultra-confident all day long. And of course, they are easy to find for under $10!
This next one of our essential products is all about the organization; everybody knows that it is super easy for charging cords to get tangled or lost, and it is super frustrating when chargers are difficult to locate. That is why a charger holder for your desk is an absolute must to declutter your area as well as keeping your chargers in a convenient place! Never accidentally let your phone charger break by letting it bend when you invest in these less than $10 charger holders.
Speaking of organization, this next one on our list of essential products will ensure that you never forget your important cards such as a credit card or your license again! It is a well-known fact that it is difficult to forget your phone, especially because most of us these days keep our phones attached to us at all times. That is why a sticky phone wallet is a perfect accessory to add to your phone case not because it adds a cute touch to your phone, but also because it is a convenient place to store your everyday essentials without needing to carry around a wallet if that is not practical for you. Plus, you can also store some extra cash in the wallet so you always have some handy!
Although this seems like one of those essential products that everybody seems to know about, we thought we would make sure to stick it in your brain in case you forgot. Cotton pads are something that every college student should make sure to remember to bring because you can not only use them to remove makeup in a cleaner way, but you can also use them to apply skincare products, to blot your skin of unwanted oils, or even to remove nail polish! Plus, organic cotton pads include an absorbent cellulose core that will allow your skin to breathe while keeping it dry. The softer material will also lower the danger of allergies and skin irritation caused by regular pads’ plastic components.
To go with your organic cotton pads, another one of our essential products includes micellar water which is used to remove makeup while also cleansing and refreshing your skin. As opposed to ordinary makeup wipes, micellar water is gentle on your skin while also being extremely effective in removing all makeup (even waterproof mascara), dirt, and oil which will clear your pores and also tone your skin. Bonus point, micellar water is perfect for all skin types, even sensitive skin because it is free of all alcohol which therefore promotes skin hydration and reduces irritation and swelling. Your skin will be kept soft, clean, and smooth with this one of our essential products!
Next up on our list of essential products is another one that promotes good skincare for under $10: Pimple patches! The way that these patches work is that they help strengthen the absorption of active acne-fighting ingredients into the skin and will help reduce the bumps, pains, and redness of a pesky pimple. The pimple patches are particularly beneficial when you have an irritating whitehead because they absorb excess fluid and have a vacuum effect that sucks out any debris and oil that may be creating a mild breakout.
These days all of us are on our computers now more than ever, which is why next on our list of essential products is blue light glasses from Amazon. There is no need to spend a fortune on glasses when all you need them for is to protect your eyes more from headache-inducing lights, which is why Amazon is the perfect place to go for a cheap pair. Blue light glasses work to help reduce eye strain from staring at screens too long by helping increase the contrast on your screen, therefore, making it easier to focus, subsequently reducing the need to strain your eyes. Because of this, blue light glasses will also help prevent screen headaches and will make it easier for you to fall asleep at night!
In case you do not have one already, just know that this next one is one of the most important on our list of essential products. Planners are super easy to find for less than $10 and will absolutely change your life. Not only will it allow you to keep track of your daily and monthly tasks, it will also help you feel more motivated to get things done and lead a more balanced and healthy lifestyle. Setting specific due dates and deadlines will help you stay on track and enhance your time management; you will feel more in control of your busy and stressful life, therefore, boosting your work ethic as well as your mental health!
Last up on our list of essential products may be one that you did not know you needed: An Airpod case. You may not realize it, but airpods need just as much protection as your phone and a durable case will ensure that you protect your airpods against annoying dents or scratches. Plus, having an Airpod case makes them more easily identifiable and you can personalize the color and design to your preferences! The best part is you can easily find cases for under $10, and can even find some that include a keychain holder which will make it easier to prevent you from losing them.
