Lookin' Pretty Sans Water

I've been the victim of having to get ready waterless a few times now, so I've picked up a few tips. Whether you're going camping, traveling somewhere weird without showers, or simply have had your water turned off, I've got some helpful products that you should have with you.

One of the best things to have is a dry shampoo. They make your hair look clean, fresh, and fabulous. Not to mention, most of them smell great. Jonathan's Green Routine Dry Shampoo ($19) is my number one pick. Though it's pricey, it works amazingly and the packaging enables you to apply the stuff without making a huge mess. You just click the brush, brush over your scalp, and go about your life.

Another great thing to have is any kind of daily facial wipe. They're fairly cheap and leave your skin feeling great. Boots No 7 Quick Thinking 4-in-1 Wipes ($6.99) work really well. You can use them at night to remove even the most waterproof makeup, and in the morning to moisturize and tone your skin.

Probably the most important thing to have on hand is a way to brush your teeth. They are constantly on display, unless you are some sort of creep who never smiles. I suggest Colgate Wisp Mini Brushes ($2.49). You need no water, simply brush and go. The result is a fresh mouth and a gorgeous smile! That's the most important accessory you own (cheesy, but true).
