Summer Camping Bummers -- SolvedBigfoot called, and he begged us to share these camping beauty cures |
Poison Ivy Wandering into a camouflaged patch of poison ivy is one of those great-outdoor moments that can totally wreck a camping trip. More than 350,000 people get too familiar with poison ivy every year in the U.S. If you're in that number, turn to products infused with natural ingredients for relief. Calm inflamed and itchy skin with tea tree oil (which has antiseptic, antifungal, and drying properties) and speed up the healing process with cleansers made from jewelweed and pine tar. Both contain extracts that bind to the same skin molecules the toxins in poison ivy are after to block them out. (But if the swelling and blisters get severe, get thee to a hospital, pronto!)
