Easy Makeup & Skincare Tips for RNs Staying in Travel Nurse Housing

As part of their job, nurses serve their patients and help to ensure that they are fed, clean and healthy on a daily basis. It’s a tough job, for sure, and can lead to burnout if each nurse doesn’t work to care for him or herself as well. One important part of this is skincare! In this post, we’ll discuss some easy ways that RNs can practice self-care and feel a little more put-together each day. In addition, we’ll cover the topic of travel nurse housing and how that can also contribute to overall well-being while on a temporary assignment.

Smile! Skincare doesn’t have to be hard

As a medical professional, you know that healthy living includes the essentials like good diet, exercise and sleep. These help to keep you operating at your best each day. Skincare might seem small compared to these, but it can boost your confidence and help your patients to see you in a professional light.

For female nurses, makeup can be part of this skincare routine. Don’t worry about time-consuming makeup, since simple and more natural-looking is best. Use SPF foundation for sun protection and try to invest in long-lasting makeup that will withstand a full shift at work. Waterproof makeup is a plus as it will prevent eyeliner or mascara from running on your face. Use concealer to even out your face and hide any tiredness as you get towards the end of your workday.

Moisturizer is another key part of good skincare! You probably cleanse or wash your hands frequently at the hospital, so be sure to keep a high-quality lotion nearby to help fight dry, chapped hands. Don’t forget to apply moisturizer to your face at the end of the day too. Check out body wash with a lavender scent for a soothing shower and use moisturizing products when done.

Of course, please check with the hospital you’ll be working at to check on specific policies / dress code that apply to you.
