Looking to maintain a fresh and clean appearance for school? Whether you're in elementary, middle, or high school, it's important to stay clean and fresh! This guide will help you achieve that goal!
Steps
Shower in the morning or evening. Use a body wash with a light, fresh scent—avoid anything too heavy or overpowering. Be sure to wash your hair well with a gentle shampoo suited to your hair type. Condition your hair 3-4 times a week to prevent it from becoming oily. Afterward, comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb to avoid breakage. Limit hair products, as too many can make your hair appear greasy.
Cleanse your face and neck with a facial wash. Choose a cleanser that’s appropriate for your skin type and make sure you're not allergic to any of its ingredients.
After showering, apply a good body lotion that suits your skin type. Avoid anything heavily scented, as it can irritate the skin. For your face, use a facial moisturizer. I emphasize this because body lotion tends to be greasier than facial lotion, which could lead to breakouts and oily skin. Facial lotion is formulated to prevent these issues more effectively.
To look fresh and well-groomed, take the time to care for yourself. Brush your teeth twice daily with a minty toothpaste. Painting your nails can be a fun way to express your personality—don’t be afraid to try bold, unique colors! For your hair, you can tie it back with bangs, or let it flow with layers. For a polished look, add a bow to your hair—it gives any outfit a neat and finished appearance.
Makeup should always be minimal. Opt for a light coverage like Bare Minerals or any other mineral-based foundation to maintain a fresh look. Focus only on areas with blemishes or dark circles. A touch of brown eyeliner and some light mascara should be enough. If you like, you can add a subtle blush to your cheeks, but it's up to you.
Clothing should be neat, clean, and never worn or dirty. Light, pastel colors work well for a fresh look. A nice pair of jeans with a pretty top and cute ballet flats will always look clean and put-together. If there are colors that complement your personality and skin tone—while still following school guidelines—feel free to wear them!
Spray a light body mist with a clean fragrance. A tiny bit of perfume is fine, but don’t overdo it—it can be overwhelming for school.

- Brush your hair daily to keep it neat, and establish regular self-care routines. Brush your teeth after meals, tidy up your room every week, and make sure you get enough sleep. These habits will help you feel more confident.
- Your radiant smile, sparkling eyes, and positive mindset are what truly matter! Whether or not you have braces, you shine when you're happy inside. Do what brings you joy and don’t stress about other people's opinions.
- Only use facial moisturizers on your face! I once had a breakout from using body lotion. Your facial skin is much more delicate and needs specialized care.
Important Notes
- Avoid washing your hair too often, as it can become dry, brittle, and look unattractive. If you're prone to pimples, steer clear of bangs. For coarse or curly hair, wash it less frequently, use conditioner, and apply a small amount of oil—just don't overdo it.
