Introduction
From Trail to Tent; You Need Summer Skincare for Natural Radiance. Whether you’re Traveling into the Mountains, Pitching a Tent by the Lake, Exploring Dusty Desert Trails, or Doing a Photoshoot in Nature, your Skin becomes your first line of Defense—and your most Exposed Companion. Harsh Sun, Dirt, Sweat, Bugs, and Fluctuating Temperatures can Wreak Havoc on even the Healthiest Model Complexions. Let’s Discuss How to Naturally Prep, Protect, and Nourish your Model Skin Before, During, and After your Summer Hiking and Camping Trip.
Start with a Natural Skin Detox (1 Week Before Trip)
Why?
Outdoor Adventures mean More Time Without your Daily Beauty Tools. Think of this as “Training your Skin” for Self-Reliance.
How:
- Dry Brushing once a Day to Stimulate Lymph Flow and Remove Dead Skin.
- Sip Detox Teas like Burdock Root, Nettle, and Dandelion.
- Cut Down on Processed Sugar and Alcohol to Calm Inflammation and Reduce Breakouts.
- Add Skin-Nourishing Foods like Avocado, Cucumber, Berries, Chia Seeds, and Carrots.
DIY Pre-Trip Skin Detox Mask:
Mix Bentonite Clay + Green Tea + Raw Honey. Apply for 10–15 min. Rinse and glow.
2. Build Your Skin Barrier Naturally
A Strong Skin Barrier helps Hold in Moisture and Block Irritants (like Dust, UV, and Pollution).
What to Use:
- Rosehip Seed Oil or Sea Buckthorn Oil Nightly to Boost Resilience and Elasticity.
- Calendula Balm for Healing and Prepping Sensitive Spots (Lips, Cheeks, and Cuticles).
- Aloe Vera Gel (Best from Plant) to Soothe and Hydrate.
Natural Sun Protection for the Trails
You’ll be Sweating, Reapplying, and possibly Miles away from a Sink. Choose Smart, Reef-Safe, and Plant-Based Sun Protection.
Pack:
- Zinc Oxide-based Mineral Sunscreen (Unscented, SPF 30+)
- DIY Sun Protection Balm:
Mix Shea Butter + Non-Nano Zinc Oxide + Red Raspberry Seed Oil + Carrot Seed Oil. Red Raspberry and Carrot Seed Oils have Natural SPF Properties (not Enough Alone, but Great Boosters and Rich in Antioxidants).
Clean Without Over-Stripping
No Showers? No Problem! Keep your Skin Fresh and Balanced.
What to Bring:
- Witch Hazel or Rosewater Spray to Cleanse, Tone, and Refresh on the Go.
- Coconut Oil Wipes: Soak Reusable Cloth Pads in Coconut Oil + Tea Tree Oil + Lavender.
- Oat Powder + Clay mix for a Waterless “Dry Wash” at the End of the Day.
DIY Trail Cleanser: Mix Colloidal Oatmeal + White Kaolin Clay in a Jar. Add Water and Apply it Gently in Circles.
Bug Protection Without the Toxins
DEET can Damage your Gear and Irritate Skin as well as Cause Cancer. Go Natural instead.
Best Oils for Bugs:
- Lemongrass
- Eucalyptus
- Citronella
- Geranium
- Neem
DIY Bug Spray: Mix Witch Hazel + Water + Essential Oils + a touch of Apple Cider Vinegar in a Spray Bottle. Reapply Often!
Stay Hydrated (Inside & Out)
Dehydration Dries out your Model Skin Fast—especially at High Elevation or in Heat.
Tips:
- Bring a Hydration Bladder/Pack and Drink every 30–45 Minutes on the Trail.
- Add Electrolyte Herbs like Hibiscus, Nettle, and Licorice Root to your Water.
- Facial Hydration Mist: Rosewater + Aloe + Cucumber Extract.
