The back-to-school season is upon us and whether you’re heading off to experience University life in a dorm for the first time, or you’re finally one semester closer to well-deserved graduation, the back-to-school agenda will almost always include a revamp of some sort.
While you’re stocking your closet with new clothes or accessories and a backpack with new books, you might also want to start filling your vanity with beauty essentials to survive the back-to-school chaos. From tackling sudden breakouts to streamlining a routine to just under 10 minutes, the brands we’ve curated below will help ensure that there will only be glowing days ahead.
Caring Skin
For Fuss-free Mornings
When waking up early just isn’t your cup of tea, sneaking in a few extra minutes of precious sleep can go a really long way.

Paula’s Choice
For Sudden Breakouts
Let’s face it, with school now back in session, your nights are about to get a lot longer. A shift in your sleep cycle (or lack thereof) can be a pretty big contributing factor for breakouts and overall skin dullness regardless if you’re a freshie or a senior.

Perfected by decades of research, Paula’s Choice reveals your skin’s true glow with award-winning products that deliver real, effective results. Clear your skin, fast – no exceptions.

Mooi Beauty
For Bigger Smiles
Don’t forget about your pearly whites! Get your day started with Mooi’s collection of aesthetic lifestyle and dental products that will put you well on your way to achieving the cleanest teeth of your life. From a sonic electric toothbrush that comes with a timer for exactly how long you need to brush your teeth for, and a teeth whitening kit that does not contain any bleaching agents and peroxide, your dental game is about to be revolutionized forever.
Honest & Gentle
For all-day freshness
Antiperspirants are known to be harmful because of their high aluminium content used to block sweat ducts, and with Honest & Gentle’s award-winning deodorant paste, you can use it with an ease of mind that what you’re putting on your body will do no harm.
Unlike many natural deodorants that contain baking soda or clay as moisture absorbents, they are committed to using gentler ingredients on the skin that contain much less aluminium or nasties for greater safety. Without major skin irritants like those, you can say goodbye to discoloured pits.
A good deodorant goes a long way when you’re spending the majority of your time outside, so staying fresh all day is easy with Honest & Gentle’s Deodorant Paste. Shop for your back-to-school essentials with hoolah and split your purchase into 3 interest-free installments. The best way to shop on a budget? Always with hoolah.
