How to Look Good While Camping

How to Rough It and Still Look Red-Carpet Ready

I love to camp. And I am, for the most part, pretty OK with whatever the wilderness throws at me. Not the case with everyone — including a few friends of mine who sometimes join me in the outdoor fun. I've learned from them that newbie campers have the most trouble with sleeping outside and abandoning their normal beauty and hygiene regimen. If you know someone like this — or if this is you! — here are a few essentials to make sure that you get a good night's rest and also look your absolute best (without seeming like a princess).

Electric razor! Just make sure it's fully charged before you leave or that you bring extra batteries (if it's the kind that runs on replaceable batteries). You won't get as silky smooth of a shave as you would with a blade, but a lot of them will get pretty darn close. You could also always dry shave it and just be absolutely sure to be careful and use a lot of moisturizer afterwards, but that still might result in razer burn/ingrown hairs more unsightly than a little bit of stubble. If you're in a situation where you're hiking for multiple days and bringing extra stuff will weigh you down, though, you just have to suck it up and make sure to shave the morning you head out. If you get a little extra stubble on the mountain, trust me - nobody will care or notice. Either way, another good option is a pair of long pants with a lot of breathability. Check out REI's website and compare some of the functions - long pants that not only breathe but protect against the sun's rays are always a good option.
