Summer Camping Bummers -- SolvedBigfoot called, and he begged us to share these camping beauty cures |
Mosquito Bites Summer is primetime for mouthwatering seasonal delights -- from juicy fruits to backyard BBQs -- but a lot of us are also on the menu for mosquitos. If you're prone to getting eaten alive, here's how to avoid being mosquito bait this summer: replace your go-to body washes with ones that contain citrus -- an ingredient pesky mosquitoes hate -- to keep new bites at bay. Already nursing a number of new bites? Lather up with basil-infused products to minimize the sting and curb the urge to scratch.

When you're camping out, you want to be the girl who whips together a tent in 10 seconds flat. The one who knows how to forage for edible berries and start a campfire with twigs and two rocks. Like MacGuyver, with ovaries. What you don't want to be? The girl complaining about mosquito bites, a sunburn or your greasy hair. But there's a fine line between being prepared and packing like a Kardashian. You camp. You don't "glamp."
But when you're out in the wilderness for days, with nary a shower in sight, you're going to feel funky. And grimy. And there are the inevitable mishaps that go hand-in-hand with being in the woods, all of which can ruin a great vacation: wandering into a patch of poison ivy, being the all-you-can-eat buffet for a cloud of mosquitos, missing that one critical spot with sunscreen.
So how do you pack like a pro -- without turning into a pack mule loaded down with products? You pare it down to the essentials -- items that address boo-boos and the beauty routines you simply must maintain.
So before you gear up (or think about sneaking five shades of lipstick into your fanny pack), check out the 18 products we picked to help you keep your camp out low-maintenance and stress-free.
