No access to showers, don't fret. This useful guide will help you stay refreshed when going on the road.

Exploring the world gives a person the chance to mingle with others of different cultures and background. This makes staying clean and refreshed a must. But when access to basic facilities such as a sink or a shower is limited, this can also be tricky.
When traveling, it pays to be armed with the right hygiene products to help fight foul odor and illness-causing microorganisms.
Below is a list of tips, along with several products from Global Sources Verified Suppliers, to help a traveler stay refreshed when going on the road.
Hands: Proper hand sanitation is essential in keeping travelers from getting sick as it prevents the spread of disease-causing germs. Health experts advise to use warm, soapy water. But during long journeys, this is not always possible. In most cases, an alcohol-based sanitizer is very handy. Rub it on the hands before eating a meal, or after using an ATM or touching an item from a souvenir shop.
Mouth: In every airline survey "those with bad breath and body odor" almost always tops the list of worst seatmates. To avoid being lumped in this category, especially when access to wash rooms is limited, always have a travel toothbrush ready. Floss and mouthwash are also helpful in maintaining oral hygiene. Mint candies or gum, and naturally mouth-cleaning fruit such as apple, lemon and lime can eliminate odor-causing microorganisms in the mouth.
Face: A clean face can say a lot about a person. When traveling, it can even offset dirty hands and bad breath. When going to a dry and arid location, pack a lot of lip balm and moisturizer. Going somewhere sunny, applying a sunblock is a must. Facial cleansers are also essential. Waterless versions are effective, especially when washrooms are unavailable.
Body: When bathing is not an option, there is a variety of ways of cleaning the body. No-rinse body wash and water-free soap products can help neutralize body odor and kill germs.
Clothing: Choosing the right clothes is key to a successful travel. Breathable dry-fit shirts are suitable for hot weather while water-resistant jackets can serve as protection from sudden downpour.
Mind: More than just a clean body, a refreshed mind can do wonders when traveling. Get enough rest and relaxation anywhere with a comfy travel pillow and a warm travel blanket. Noise-canceling earphones can help drown out external noise while a handy travel alarm clock makes sure travelers do not oversleep.
