Skincare essentials!

  • Hand sanitizers

There are a lot of possibilities of getting germs or bacteria in the wild; the foremost thing to have in your pocket is a portable hand sanitizer. No possibility of leaving them behind!

  • Sunscreen

You don’t want enough tan to make you go unrecognized by your family once the fun is over. SPF-based sunblock of your skin type does come in essential packing items.

  • Lip care

We never want to run out by lip balms because chapped lips are the last thing we could survive.

  • Mini hairbrush for unwelcomed fizziness

  • Flashlights
    flashlights are always useful whenever your car battery is down, or you are asked to find an object in the woods as a dare.
