12. Stay Hydrated

Tip: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated, flush out toxins, and maintain your energy levels. Dehydration can lead to dry skin, chapped lips, and fatigue. Staying hydrated is great for your health and beauty.

13. Use Multi-Purpose Products

Tip: Pack multi-use products like a tinted moisturizer with SPF, which can serve as sunscreen, foundation, and moisturizer all in one. Lip balm with SPF can also double as a highlighter on your cheeks.

14. Opt for Waterproof Makeup

Tip: If you want to wear makeup, choose waterproof formulas to withstand sweat, humidity, and any water activities you might engage in.

15. Braid Your Hair & Wear a Bandana

Tip: Braiding your hair can help prevent tangles, reduce frizz, and keep your hair clean longer. Plus, you’ll have beautiful waves when you take the braids out.
Tip: Bandanas will help absorb sweat and keep bugs and dirt out of your hair.

16. Protect Your Skin

Tip: Always apply sunscreen in the morning, even if it’s cloudy. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat can also help shield your face from the sun.

17. Keep Your Nails Short

Tip: Trim your nails short before your trip to prevent dirt from accumulating under them and reduce the risk of breaking or snagging a nail. Bring a nail clipper and file in case you get a jagged edge.

18. Use Biodegradable Wipes

Tip: Carry biodegradable wipes for quick clean-ups, removing makeup, or refreshing your skin when water is scarce. Look for ones that are gentle on the skin and environmentally friendly.

19. Avoid Heavy Scents

Tip: Skip strong perfumes or scented products, as they can attract insects. Opt for unscented or naturally scented products instead. You can make your own perfume with water, rubbing alcohol, and essential oils. Certain oils even keep away bugs like Rosemary oil.

20. Wear Protective Clothing

Tip: Wear light, long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect your skin from the sun and bugs. Clothing made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics will keep you comfortable and dry.

21. Cleanse Your Face at Night

Tip: No matter how tired you are, cleanse your face before bed to remove dirt, sweat, and sunscreen. A micellar water or gentle cleansing wipe can make this easier in a camping environment.

22. Embrace the Natural Look

Tip: Camping is a great time to go makeup-free and let your skin breathe. Embrace the natural look and focus on skincare rather than makeup.

23. Carry a Small Mirror

Tip: A small, lightweight mirror can be handy for applying sunscreen, checking your appearance, or removing contact lenses.
Bonus: A mirror can be used to start a fire, signal for help, and check for injuries, and ticks.

24. Moisturize

Tip: The elements can be harsh on your skin, so be sure to moisturize your face and body daily to keep your skin soft and prevent dryness.

25. Sleep Well

Tip: Get a good night’s sleep to help your body recover and keep your skin looking fresh. Bring a comfortable sleeping pad and pillow, and consider a sleep mask and earplugs to block out light and noise. Natural supplements like Melatonin will also help you fall asleep quicker in a foreign environment.
