BODY, HAIR & BEAUTY >
Who of us has the time to spend hours on beauty, body, and skincare routines?
Nope! Not busy FDNs working and traveling the world. On top of it all, we don’t have the space or willpower to carry a heavy backpack filled with creams, lotions, and potions.
So, how do we keep our skin supple, our hair shiny and our bodies glowing?
When it comes to FDN beauty and skincare, (especially when traveling for extended periods), we believe in keeping things natural and simple, but powerful.
Check out our recommended list of multi-purpose, unisex beauty, hair, and skincare remedies ideally suited to the needs of busy freelancers, digital nomads, remotes and/or location independents:
JOJOBA OIL
MULTI-PURPOSE OIL FOR FACE, BODY, HANDS, FEET & HAIR
– Ideal for Ladies, Gents & Traveling Couples
Certified Organic Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is a fantastic multi-purpose oil that works with most skin types and has a slight but mild nutty scent. Use it for your nails, hair, face, body, and hands.
Travel: Viva Organic Jojoba Oil is available in a 4 oz glass bottle with a dropper that is small and comfortable to travel with.
Uses:
- Face: Apply neat as a face serum, face oil, or moisturizer. (1-drop is enough to cover the whole face).
- Body Scrub: Add 1-3 drops to some sea salt to create a body scrub.
- Hands, Feet & Nails: Jojoba oil is naturally rich in essential fatty acids, ideal for dry hands, feet, nails, and chipped cuticles.
- Hair: Add conditioner into a bowl (or your hand), create a small impression in the middle and squeeze 1-3 drops of Jojoba oil in the middle. Mix well together and apply to shampooed hair as a hair mask. Leave for 5 – 10 minutes then wash out. Adds extra shine to dull or dry hair.
- Massage: If you have a base oil such as Almond Oil, or a body moisturizer, add Jojoba oil to it.
Who: Perfect for ladies, gents, and couples.
Important: When it comes to purchasing Jojoba Oil (or any other skincare oil), ensure it is certified organic and natural with no added preservatives, additives, or allergens.

ALL-IN-ONE HAIR & GROOMING KIT FOR HIM & HER
– Ideal for Ladies, Gents & Traveling Couples
Philips Norelco Multigroom (All-In-One) Trimmer
Ladies, struggling to keep up with shaving your legs? Not into waxing?
Gents, hate the idea of damaging your facial skin with daily razor shaves?
Try an all-in-one trimmer. Thought the packaging might say it’s for men, women will find equal benefit for the trimming of facial, underarm, bikini, or leg hair. Bonus, you need to pack only one that works for both of you.
Uses:
- Facial Hair: Remove facial hair such as beard, nose, and ear hair.
- Body: Underarms, bikini line, legs, etc.
Who: Perfect for both ladies, gents, and couples. Purchase one that can be used by both.
Important: Don’t go over the top with purchasing the ‘most’ powerful or robust model. Keep things simple with a travel size trimmer that you can easily backpack with. Also, look at battery life before purchasing. Ensure its an all-in-one trimmer, not just a trimmer.

FACIAL WASH & CLEANSER
NATURE’S WAY
– Ideal for Ladies, Gents & Traveling Couples
NATURAL FULL CREAM MILK
There’s no need to purchase expensive facial wash and cleanser products. (Or even carrying them with you.) Milk is one of nature’s best and most effective cleansers. Bonus? It works with most skin types.
Travel: Get it at your local farmers market, hostel, backpackers, or hotel.
Uses:
- Face Wash: Use cold milk and dab onto skin. Use circular motions to spread the milk and gently wash your face as usual.
- Face Cleanser: Take a clean tablespoon and small bowl or cup (washed well) and add 5 – 7 tablespoons of cold milk and a pinch of salt together. Mix well until salt is dissolved. Use some cotton, washcloth, or your fingertips to tap the mixture onto your face, neck, and decollate. Leave on for 1 – 2 minutes while gently moving your fingers in a circular motion. Rinse well.
Benefits: Milk is effective in adding a fresh and glowing look to the skin, but also helps to tone and soften facial skin when used regularly as part of a beauty routine. Why? When salt is mixed into milk, it creates a gentle exfoliation that removes small particles and dead skin.
Who: Perfect for both ladies, gents, and couples.
Important: Use milk neat as a facial wash. (Can be used daily). Add salt to create a facial cleanser. (Use milk cleanser no more than 1 – 2 times a week. Once a week is also more than enough). If you are allergic to milk or salt, avoid.
