In the midst of "I’m A Celebrity" being in full swing, it's clear that all the women around the campfire share one common desire - a longing for their usual beauty regime. Super-WAG Coleen Rooney, former Strictly Come Dancing professional Oti Mabuse, singer Tulisa Contostavlos, and social media star GK Barry have all bid farewell to their makeup bags before entering camp. This ITV1 show presents one of the toughest challenges for any celebrity, especially for those who are terrified of life without the comfort of cosmetics and pampering luxuries. It's not just a show for the cameras; there's no secret stash of Molton Brown body wash behind the Bush Telegraph. The show's beauty rules are surprisingly strict, with celebrities stripped back to the bare minimum during their time in camp.

Beauty Products Allowed in the Jungle

According to 2016 contestant Lisa Snowdon, the rather meagre list of beauty products given to campmates includes a generic body lotion, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, a toothbrush, and tea tree toothpaste. Deodorant is also allowed, but it's considered a treat as it was banned in season one. Campmates can keep themselves spruced up during the infamous jungle shower sessions. When asked about shaving, Lisa said that yes, they can shave and are provided with a shaving stick and a razor. 2: These basic beauty products may seem limited, but they serve a purpose in the harsh environment of the jungle. The body lotion helps keep the skin hydrated, the sunscreen protects from the sun's rays, and the mosquito repellent keeps the pesky insects at bay. The toothbrush and toothpaste ensure good oral hygiene, which is essential in any situation. Deodorant, although a treat, is a small luxury that can make a big difference in one's comfort.

Contraband and Security

Contestants do try to smuggle things in, but any contraband is quickly spotted and confiscated. It's not the posh stuff that they try to sneak past security; one year, campmates got in trouble over a humble pot of Vaseline. This shows that the production team is strict about what enters the camp. 2: The security measures in place ensure that the contestants are truly tested and have to rely on the limited supplies provided. It's a reminder that in the jungle, they have to make do with what they have and not expect any special treatment.

Luxury Items and Their Challenges

While celebrities can choose beauty products as their luxury item, there's no guarantee of getting them. Actress Helen Flanagan might have wished she had held back her luxury item - fake tan - during her time on the 2012 series. After becoming steadily more orange and sporting unflattering tangerine streaks in the jungle shower, she became the butt of jokes. Her fellow campmate Charlie Brooks said it looked ridiculous. 2: This shows the unpredictability of getting one's desired luxury item and the potential consequences of making the wrong choice. It also highlights the importance of being prepared for the challenges of life in the jungle.

Hair and Makeup in the Jungle

Jungle life means going back to basics. 2019 alumni Caitlyn Jenner was shocked to hear that there is no hair and makeup provided. Braids, hats, plaits, and ponytails are popular ways to handle hammock hair and humidity, but not all hairstyles are suitable. GK Barry may be regretting her lengthy hair extensions after they became waterlogged and infested with critters. 2: The lack of hair and makeup forces the celebrities to find creative ways to deal with their appearance. It's a different experience for them, and they have to adapt to the conditions. Makeup is strictly banned unless there are special circumstances, as seen with Made In Chelsea favourite Georgia Toffolo. She was granted special permission to wear foundation to cover her severe acne. 3: After being told that makeup was banned, she broke down in tears. But with the help of show bosses, she was allowed to put foundation on once a day in the morning as it was a medical problem. This shows the understanding and flexibility shown by the production team in certain situations.
