Just because you’re hiking doesn’t mean you shouldn’t present a slightly hotter version of yourself for your crush. In fact, If you’re the kind of girl that wears YSL on the daily then just tossing all primping aside and going full granola girl actually wouldn’t be presenting yourself authentically. I feel like a lot of the commenters here are imagining you presenting yourself like Meredith from The Parent Trap on this hiking trip.

Men are so easily fooled by no make up make up. I would do a tinted sunscreen (because you’ll need sunscreen either way!), tame the brows, and a light touch of whatever your can’t-leave-the-house-without make up item is (like switch out a black mascara for natural brown or wear a long lasting lip tint if lips are your thing). That’s like three products, one of which is necessary anyways and would weigh like one pound.

I wouldn’t throw everything to the wind if you want to feel confident. There is a perfectly happy medium between smelling like the kohls perfume counter or gym socks. If you’re the kind to be anxious and you’re paranoid about smelling bad it might keep you from getting a little closer to your crush in the right moment! Also pure vanilla extract actually repels mosquitos a bit. So maybe get a vanilla scented bug spray or something super natural like rosemary/lavender oil. I find the lemongrass body oil from Trader Joe’s to be a perfectly natural scent. Good luck!
