Summer has arrived, and that means one thing: festival season! While we're all delighted to dance to our favourite music and soak up the atmosphere, don't let the excitement leave your skin stressed. With these key festival skincare practices, you can keep your skin looking fresh, radiant, and ready to shine all weekend.

Festival Skincare Tips:

1. Prepare your skin for the festival.

The finest festival skincare begins before you enter the festival grounds. In the days leading up to the event, focus on hydration and light exfoliation. To keep your skin firm and nourished, apply a moisturising serum such as Jojoba or lightweight moisturiser such as our Biovedic Face Cream. Don't forget to exfoliate a few days ahead of time to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas for festival makeup.

2. Sunscreen: Your Festival Skincare BFF

Never miss sunscreen, no matter how overcast the weather is. Always include SPF in your festival skincare! Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply every 2 hours. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic solution that will not clog your pores, even if you dance all day. 

3. Keep your skin hydrated.

With the heat, dust, and dancing, your skin can quickly lose moisture. When it comes to festival skincare, hydration should always come first. Pack a moisturising mist or face spray to keep your skin refreshed throughout the day. These are simple to use and can help relieve any redness or irritation that may develop after hours in the sun.

4. Embrace Minimal Makeup

When it comes to festival skincare, little is usually more. Instead of heavy foundation, try tinted moisturiser or BB cream. This allows your skin to breathe while also making it easy to reapply sunscreen. To keep your look simple and fresh, opt for waterproof mascara and a pop of colour on your lips. 

5. Cleanse thoroughly at night.

One of the most crucial festival skincare regulations. Always wash your skin before bedtime. Even if you're weary after dancing, cleaning perspiration, dust, and makeup is critical to preventing breakouts and dullness. To keep your skin happy and healthy overnight, apply a gentle cleanser such as Jojoba. 

6. Don't Forget Your Lips and Eyes:

Festival skincare extends beyond the face. The sensitive skin surrounding your eyes and lips can also suffer. Bring a nourishing lip balm with SPF and a moisturising eye serum to keep everything smooth and plump. Your future self will appreciate you! 

7. Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out

Skincare during a festival is also about what you put into your body. Drink plenty of water every day to keep your skin hydrated and shining. Bring a reusable water bottle and refill it frequently; your skin will look and feel much better as a result.

8. Treat Your Skin After the Festival

After the event, your festival skincare routine should not end. Your skin has been subjected to numerous environmental stresses, so give it some extra TLC. Apply a soothing face mask or a night cream, such as our Biovedic Face Cream to help restore moisture and soothe any discomfort. A gentle exfoliant can also help remove any remaining dirt and keep your skin clear.
