Tips for Smarter Travel – Part 11
Tip #11: Bring your own personal care products
Don’t settle forthe shampoo and soap provided by the hotel. Those products are full of toxic fragrance chemicals. Bring you own personal care products instead.
Here are some good ones:
• Dr. Bronner’s soap – For washing your hands, face and body. Can also be used as a shampoo.
• Toothsoap (www.Toothsoap.com) – Better than toothpaste. Simple, natural and portable. I like the “Plain Jane” variety.
• Dental Miracle – Herbal tooth powder
• Peri-Gum – A cayenne-based herbal mouthwash with multiple medicinal herbs
• Natural Sunscreen – If you are careful about sun exposure a sunscreen is not necessary…but if you want to, bring a natural brand. The most natural brand I’ve found is called Caribbean Blue.
