Mineral Sunscreen Lotion

A surefire way to ruin any camping trip is getting an awful sunburn. This can be especially common if you’re at a higher altitude or spending time near the water. Protect yourself from those damaging rays with Young Living’s 50 SPF Mineral Sunscreen Lotion. This natural sunscreen is free from harsh chemicals making it a healthy alternative for adults and kids alike. Protecting against both UVA and UVB rays, you can enjoy the outdoors worry-free with up to 80 minutes of protection and water+sweat resistance. Oh and here’s a little pro tip for you: lay your bottle in the sun for a few minutes to help soften it for a smooth application! 

LavaDerm After-Sun Spray

And just in case you still manage to get too much sun, be sure to have a bottle of LavaDerm After-Sun Spray on hand to help soothe your skin and prevent the dryness that tends to follow a sunburn. LavaDerm is also great to calm irritated skin from any accidental contact with the local flora or relieve itching from bites and minor scrapes. 

Pillow Spray

While camping may be one of your favorite getaways, we all know there is no place like your own comfy bed. Falling asleep in a tent or a new place may be a bit difficult, so we suggest whipping up this DIY Pillow Spray to help you catch some zzzz’s under the stars. 

• • 2 Tablespoons Unscented Witch Hazel
  • 30 Drops Lavender EO
  • 20 Drops Stress Away EO

In a 4 oz. glass spray bottle, combine the above ingredients. Fill the remainder of the bottle with distilled water, shake well, and spritz on pillows or sleeping bags to promote a peaceful night’s rest. Not into DIY?

Life is messy, especially when you’re camping. Be sure to have a few packs of Thieves Wipes on hand to clean up all of your surfaces so they are both mess and germ-free. We also love the Seedlings Baby Wipes for sticky s’more fingers, dirty faces, and a ‘camping shower’ at the end of the day!

Ditch those stinky, chemical-filled candles for a bottle of Citronella essential oil instead. Just sprinkle a few drops on and around your tent and camping area to help keep any unwanted insects at bay!
