Music festivals are a great occasion to let loose, but when it comes to packing for them, that can be a bit of a task. Would you agree? While you have to make tough decisions between daisy dukes and boho skirts, packing beauty essentials is of utmost importance too. Less than favourable conditions—unforgiving rays of sunshine, tent life, sparse showers and omnipresent plumes of dust mean that you have to rethink your beauty regime so as to not come back home all sun-burnt and shoddy. From the obligatory sunscreen and cleansing wipes to hydrating essentials, here are the 10 beauty products you should not attend a festival without...
Sunscreen
You don’t need a heavyweight cream. Choose a water-based broad-spectrum high SPF (that means 30 SPF and above) sunscreen. Opt for one that can be used head-to-toe for packing efficiency.
The time, inclination and facilities to wash your hair at a festival are scarce at best, which makes dry shampoo a mandatory travel companion. A spritz of dry shampoo will instantly refresh your hair by eliminating scalp grease and sweat, whilst building body, volume and texture.
Sheet masks
Sheet masks are saturated in skin-perfecting nutrients and vitamins and are a speedy way to alleviate dryness, dehydration and dullness. You may look ridiculous and slightly terrifying whilst you apply it, but the result—dewy, hydrated skin—is totally worth it.
Deodorant
Now, this one needs no explanation, does it?
Face mist
Detractors have long criticised face mists as a pointless skincare step, but they really come into their own at the festival season. As hydrating as they are cooling, face mists come loaded with infinite protective skincare benefits: anti-polluting, anti-bacterial and antioxidants included. It can be the difference between Insta-worthy dewiness and the sweaty alternative.
Blotting papers
Absorbent and easily portable, blotting papers are a great beauty ally. Weatherproof your look by removing any excess oils from your face with a sheet throughout the day.
Have a blast this summer but don't forget to pack these essentials. They are termed as 'essentials' for good reasons...
