It's that time of year again! Head back to drop-off looking and feeling your best with clean, glowing skin and healthy hair.

Banish Breakouts

Good skin is a must all year, but especially during those first few weeks of school when stress levels are high. "I recommend a product called Bior Pore Strips, and this fall they have a really fun animal print version. They really make getting out dirt, oil and blackheads more fun," says Lifestyle Expert Melissa Foss. "The strips help bring out your inner wild child and make purifying your pores a real pleasure,," she says.

The strips work with selective bonding agents that act like magnets to draw out deep down grime, oil and blackheads. It takes just ten minutes to rid yourself of a week's worth of buildup. And they're affordable; find them for $6.49 across the country at drug stores and mass retailers.

Beat Super Lice

Next up is a problem many parents will likely face this school year: Lice.

"Lice is going to be in the schools and your children might get it, but you don't have to worry because even though the latest version of lice has been resistant to over the counter treatments and is now known as super lice, there's a great product called Nix Ultra System that can help," says Foss.

This is a new, safe and effective over the counter remedy that kills both lice, super lice and their eggs. It's non-toxic, pesticide-free and it can be found in retailers across the country for $24.99 and under. "That's a fraction of the cost of what it would cost for a prescription or a professional removal system which can run you up to $125 and more," Foss says.

Ready to go high-tech in your fight against lice? Go to nixlice.com and check out their data driven lice tracker. This uses a proprietary algorithm that collects and combines both retail and crowd sourced information to develop a real-time map which is incredibly helpful to school nurses and parents who can report and track outbreaks in their area.
