We wouldn’t call ourselves high maintenance, but we’re also not always outdoorsy. Take camping, for example. The thought of spending three or four days without easy access to water, soap, moisturizer, or a mirror has us running for the (concrete) hills.
Now, in an effort to maintain our fuss-free ‘tude without completely sacrificing our vanity, we need an arsenal of travel-friendly products to help us look good in the middle of nowhere, while not looking overdone. Though a lengthening, waterproof mascara or an all-in-one cheek, lip and eye shadow stick may seem like brilliant picks, they’re just not what you’ll feel comfortable applying before pitching a tent or while trudging through the bushes. What you need are products that will make you feel clean, fresh and radiant, while enhancing your natural look.
Ahead, we’ve gathered the five best products to take with you on your next camping trip that will not only help you look and feel your best, but are practical, subtle and convenient products you’ll actually use. From refreshing facial pads that offer an instant glow, to a moisturizing lip balm that provides a rosy hue, flip through the slideshow for the five beautifying essentials to grab before hitting the campground to ensure you’ll be one hot and happy camper.

camping beauty tips
1. Coconut cleansing wipes
No water? No problem! Wipe your face clean with coconut water-infused natural towelettes, like Pacifica’s Purify Coconut Water Cleansing Wipes. They work gently to remove makeup, toxins, oil, and pollutants from your skin with no water needed. Plus, they leave you with a faint, refreshing scent of coconut. And let’s be honest: when we’re camping, we’ll take any pleasant-smelling thing we can get.
An easy way to add definition to your face without noticeable makeup is by filling in and perfecting your brows. Pick an eyebrow pencil that has a brush at one end, which will help you create the look of full, groomed brows. Guerlain’s The Eyebrow Pencil is a great pick to quickly fill in thin, sparse eyebrows that will help you frame your face and add intensity to your look.
Give yourself a sunkissed visage with a simple swipe of a tanning pad. Kate Somerville’s Somerville 360 Face Self Tanning Pads are a great option. They boast a moisturizing formula that works together with your skin’s proteins to gradually darken your complexion, while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Use them right when you wake up, or right before going to sleep. Just apply a pad to your face in circular motions, and you’ll achieve a natural-looking glow in just two to four hours.
