How To Simplify Your Skincare Routine For Camping

My family loves camping, and here in California we can usually camp year-round, so we go often. We occasionally cabin camp, but most often we rough it and go tent camping instead. As much as I’m obsessed with beauty products, I tend to ditch most of them for camping so I can pack light. I’ve learned that it’s easy to get by with just a few staples to keep my skin healthy out in the wilderness.

Simple Skincare Routine for Camping

I’ve found that using skincare products that multi-task can help simplify things anytime, but especially for camping! If I have a sink or shower nearby, I’ll use a facial cleanser that also doubles as a full-body cleanser when needed. Or, if there’s not running water nearby, I’ll opt for all-natural baby wipes to clean up before bed or refresh in the morning. Water-based baby wipes can also be used to safely clean up spills around camp or to cool down in warmer weather.

After cleansing, I moisturize face and body with one product and then protect with sunscreen during the day. I then throw on a lip balm (with SPF during the day) and I’m ready to go! On warm days I stay refreshed with a water mister and have also recently been trying Mother Dirt AO+ Mist. When applied regularly, it can help cut down on the other products you use like soaps and deodorants, making it perfect for camping!

Here are the simple skincare products you can pack for a camping trip:

• Face and body cleanser (such as Mother Dirt Cleanser)
• All-natural baby wipes
• Face and body moisturizer
• Facial sunscreen (or BB/CC cream with SPF)
• Body sunscreen
• Lip balm
• Mother Dirt AO+ Mist

The Mother Dirt Story

When it comes to our skin, we have long been taught that sterile means clean, yet healthy skin still eludes us. The phrase “less is more” has played a large part in the natural products movement and is part of the basis for Mother Dirt products. Bacteria are a natural part of the human ecosystem and by embracing healthy bacteria versus destroying it, our skin can reap the benefits. Mother Dirt products are formulated to help restore and maintain this good bacteria on your skin.

Mother Dirt’s product line helps men and women alike to maintain a balanced microbiome on their skin, improving the overall look and feel. With Mother Dirt products, you may notice improvements in hydration, balancing of oil production, lessening of body odor and overall soothing of the skin. Many users find that due to these benefits, they are able to cut down or cut out products like soaps, deodorants, moisturizers, etc. The Mother Dirt product line includes products ranging from Cleanser and Shampoo to Moisturizer and AO+ Mist.

My Mother Dirt Experience

I noticed after my very first use of Mother Dirt Shampoo that my hair the next day still appeared freshly washed. I usually have a slightly greasy scalp just a day after washing and that wasn’t the case with this shampoo. Mother Dirt Cleanser is a convenient two-in-one facial and body cleanser with a soft foam texture. My skin on my face and body feels extremely clean after using Mother Dirt Cleanser, and it’s one less product to keep in the shower!

AO+ Mist from Mother Dirt is pretty much revolutionary in my book. I love that I can easily spray good live bacteria onto my skin and that it may cut down the need for deodorant, soaps, lotions and more. I also like knowing that my skin will remain healthier and more problem-free by my keeping a more balanced microbiome on my skin. I keep my AO+ Mist in the refrigerator (or cooler if camping) so it’s quite refreshing to spray on and helps cut down on perspiration, what’s not to love?
