Camping - best face wipes and SPF cover?

4 replies

Got a fairly big chunk of camping booked this summer as well as a few weekend trips for stag do (yes, stag, even though I'm definitely a hen), weddings etc. with every will in the world, can't reeeeally see myself oil cleansing in front of a camp fire each evening (or even less in a squalid shower block).

I would like some semblance of luxury though in the form of Very Nice face wipes and Very Nice daily sunblock. Would any of you be so kind as to recommend either or both for my fair-but-tans, oily-yet-dry skin? I also wear lashings of waterproof mascara so wipes have to cut through that.

Budget is anywhere up to Clinique sort of prices.

Thanking you!

I haven't found any wipes which remove all my eye make up successfully. When I'm travelling a take Boots own eye make up remover pads. They're pretty cheap but effective, and in a small tub. Though, having just read your post back I see you're after something more luxury ... not too helpful of me, sorry!

For everyday SPF, I really like Clinique City Block (£16 iirc) which comes in SPF 25 or 40. It's nice, with no chemical nasties found in other sunblocks and as it's slightly tinted it makes for a nice tinted moisturiser on a make-up free day. Also, makes fab primer.

For intensive SPF, Elizabeth Arden do sunblock in their Eight Hour range (I know the Eight Hour smell can be a bit marmite though) - I like this sun defense stick which at SPF 50 is perfect prolonger sun exposure. Nicely moisturising too.

I like Paula's choice spf45 suncream, it doesn't feel like you're wearing anything, and totally non greasy. For wipes, I have tried a lot, and always come back to Simple. They also do eye wipes, but I don't wear lots of eye makeup, so maybe I'm not the best to judge.

Ultrasun Face formula, plus a tin of vaseline and hot water/flannel for cleansing are my camping staples, my skin can't take wipes.
