I was recently on vacation and decided to share some eco-friendly skin care traveling tips!

Natural hand cleanser:
     For a quick all natural hand cleanser use lemon juice!  Most restaurants offer lemon slices with their water, or you can find lemons or concentrated lemon juice at any grocery store (concentrated lemon juice usually comes in a small, easy to carry plastic bottle, but if you get the concentrated kind, be sure to dilute it well with water).  Lemon juice gently cleanses the hands and is antibacterial.  It also helps removes odors and it smells great!  An added bonus: lemon juice is a mild exfoliant and will make your skin feel really soft.  In some cultures, bowls of lemon juice (diluted in water) are offered during meals to cleanse the hands.

Tone, hydrate, set makeup, and more with hydrosols:
     Hydrosols are some of my favorite ingredients to use and also formulate with: they have so many uses!  I recommend carrying around a bottle of hydrosol to tone and hydrate the skin throughout the day.   They can also be used to set mineral makeup.  Some of them also are antibacterial.  I suggest lavender hydrosol (common to find) or tea tree hydrosol (harder to find but some online vendors carry it).  Lavender and tea tree hydrosols are good all purpose hydrosols suitable for most skin types.
