This was my routine for the entire PCT. Did I do more than the average person out there as far as skincare goes? 100%! But as someone who used to really struggle with acne, it gave me so much peace of mind to be able to take care of my skin. As soon as camp was all set up, I would boil water for my dinner, and then, as it cooked, I would take a couple of mins to do my skincare routine.
It’s super important not to rinse your products off in lakes and streams to protect the local ecosystems. Since all of your products stay on the towelette (that you pack out with you), this approach is LNT compliant (leave no trace)! 🥳 You can even use the towelette again after to wipe out your cooking pot or even your pits, bits, and feet.
The lipgloss tubes and compressed towelettes (instead of baby wipes) were definitely my two favorite hacks I learned in my prep earlier this year. Do you have any other tricks that work well for you?
