Back to School, Back to Reality

With summer in the rearview mirror and school in session, it is time to get back to reality. Sifting through what back to school looks like in 2022 versus when you were in school can be a headache-inducing endeavor. No matter what role you play, as a new or seasoned teacher, parent or student, tackling back to school prep, managing new relationships and navigating concerns about Covid, mental health, and school safety are enough to leave your head spinning. To encourage you to keep the focus on what’s important, a positive and rewarding learning experience for all, we’ve got some back to school tips to make this year great! If you are a new parent facing letting your little one out of your care for the first time, a teacher with an unruly class, or a teen concerned about your appearance, there is no obstacle you can’t handle.

Back to school week is fraught with activity - No question! Whether your kids are elementary or high school age, the back to school activities are much the same. To keep track of registration, drives, fairs, and events, a family calendar is essential! From gathering the books and tools your child (or you!) needs to succeed, to meeting with teachers on back to school night, we know you will have these under control.

Back to School Shopping
The biggest question is, “what back to school supplies do I need to buy to help my child look and feel their best?” If running around acquiring the seemingly endless list of necessities such as back to school clothes, uniforms, shoes, and backpacks that meet dress codes has worn you out, don’t worry. We’ve got your back.

Starting the year with clear skin is essential for teen confidence. For your confidence in knowing that what they are using is safe, clean skincare for acne is the best path to prevent and treat blackheads and breakouts without harsh, drying ingredients. The Pevonia SpaTeen line is an effective acne skin care solution for teens (and non-teens, too!) that adheres to clean beauty standards. The exfoliating acne cleanser for teens, alcohol-free toner, and the best acne spot treatment and non comedogenic moisturizer utilize Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid within an advanced Micro-Matrix Organic technology, Acids, Hyaluronic Acid, Arnica, Lemon, and Vitamins A & E to minimize bacteria, excess oil, dead skin cells, irritation, and scarring. With consistent acne care, your child’s skin will look clearer, calmer, and healthier. If you get a stress breakout from all the frenzy, you can also use these skin clearing products!

Back To School Teacher Gifts
When planning where to go and what you need to get, remember to put gifts for teachers at the top of your back to school checklist - as no shopping list is complete without something special for these genuine superheroes. They hold our kids’ attention and arm them with the knowledge they need to succeed while helping preserve their well-being. One of the best tips for parents is to give your child’s teacher a “welcome” gift to reward them in advance for their efforts, start the school year off right, and ensure smooth sailing for the days ahead. Stumped on good Back to school ideas for teachers and want to make a good impression? While the traditional apple is a nutritious treat with fiber and energy to help them through their lesson plans, think outside the box with unique Pevonia gift sets, and be their hero, too! Since you can’t possibly know their skin type but can be assured they are under a little stress, the Pevonia Jasmine & Lavender Bath Essentials Gift Set will be ideal! While you are at it, grab one for yourself! The relaxing natural bath products infused with relaxing Lavender and Jasmine are an excellent way to recharge your own batteries with a self-care ritual that will help you keep up with the hectic pace.

As they will be sanitizing repeatedly throughout the day, another fabulous gift for teachers is our moisturizing Multi Active Hand Cream, which their hands will truly appreciate. The smoothing Beta-Carotene, moisturizing Sunflower Oil, and soothing Chamomile are just what they need to relieve dryness, fortify their protective skin barrier against pesky germs and minimize signs of aging. Or, if you really want to make their year, get them a gift card to a local spa for a relaxing facial or massage. All Pevonia products deliver clean skincare, so not only will your gift be thoughtful, but it will also safely help improve their skin health. Sure, juggling all the moving pieces for back to school and work obligations can be overwhelming. But with some planning and communication with all the parties involved, you and your family will make the grade! Want to maximize results for your healthiest skin ever?
