Beauty for the Great Outdoors

Camping season is in full force, but that's no excuse to look frumpy. Embrace your inner glamazon and stay gorgeous in the wilderness with five camping beauty tips that will keep you polished and pretty.

TO KEEP YOU CLEAN...

Disposable wipes will be your best friend. Whether or not your campground has showers, wipes can take off makeup and refresh you at all hours of the day. Check out our list of favorite disposable wipes that you can stash in your hiking backpack.

TO KEEP THE BUGS AWAY...

Nothing says camping disaster like a full-on bug attack. Protect your precious skin and try these all-natural bug repellents!

TO ADD SOME GLAM...

While it's nice to ditch your daily beauty routine occasionally, some prefer a certain level of glamour even in the great outdoors. Instead of piling on heavy face makeup, (who wants to sweat that off during a hike?) focus on lashes and lips for definition. Have a waterproof mascara on hand (we recommend our Top 3 here), and apply a non-sticky stain on top of your SPF lip balm.

TO SPICE UP THEIR HAIR...

Play with braids, updos, accessories, and even pigtails for a fun and practical hairstyle. Avoid alcohol-based hairspray (which will dry your locks out), and stick with bobby pins and headbands to secure your hair for hiking.

TO PROTECT YOURSELF...

Last, but certainly not least, is sunscreen. Wear your SPF every day, and don't forget to apply extra on scalp and shoulders! Prime lips daily with an SPF balm so Mother Nature doesn't scorch them like your barbecue dinner.
