To help with that, Landon, who plays ranch hand Teeter on "Yellowstone," travels with a portable shower to get clean anytime.

"I travel with this tub device that I bought on Amazon and you blow up the ring, and you can put it in a tiny shower and sit in this soaking tub," Landon explained to the outlet. "I have to be in the bath every night."
As Monica Dutton, Asbille said, "there's usually dirt and blood involved" when she films. "Those are heavy days and because she's really going through it," she said adding that when filming wraps "there is a physical and emotional cleanse."

Perabo plays vegan activist Summer Higgins on the series, and said when she is done for the day, "I wipe the blood off with a hot washcloth and I go home."
She explained that she cleans up before heading out "In case I have to stop and get gas or something."
"It's hard to explain in the little town where we work, if your face is covered in blood, one of those guys will ask if you need some help," she noted.

Schlaepfer stars as Alexandra on "1923," part of which filmed in Africa.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}She told People she loved both the filming on the "Yellowstone" spin off and the chance to dress up for the Beautiful Issue photo shoot.
"We are so dirty at the end of every filming day, but it is the greatest feeling in the world," she said. "I'm used to being very dirty and soaking wet and riding horses, so it's so much fun to get all glammed up and dressed up. To put on these beautiful clothes and feel confident and feel sexy is such a nice switch up and something I don't do every day."

"We're in the little stream. You probably couldn't tell that I was completely drenched, but [I was] completely. I would walk and my shoes would squeak. You could see water come out of the little holes. It was bad. It was very dirty," she recalled.
Despite the uncomfortable conditions, Nieves was committed.
